After seven years of meticulous research and development and the accumulation of more than 5,000 patents, Apple has finally launched the highly anticipated "Apple Vision Pro" AR glasses. This high-end product, with a starting price of up to 3,499 US dollars (about 25,170 yuan), has been hyped to more than 80,000 yuan in the domestic market due to the scarcity of supply, and has become a new favorite in the technology industry and a new toy for local tyrants.
The Apple Vision Pro is top-notch, with 12 cameras, 5 sensors, M2 chips and T-chips, and a MicroLED screen that offers a wide field of view of 120 degrees, almost as much as the human eye. This technological prowess, combined with Apple's robust ecosystem, has indeed led to an unprecedented user experience.
However, with the widespread attention of the product after its launch, there are also many voices complaining about its weight of 300 grams, believing that the comfort of wearing needs to be improved. At the same time, a detailed analysis of the chip-level teardown of this AR glasses has appeared on the market.
What is striking is that a report by iFixit, a professional disassembly agency, shows that the "Apple Vision Pro" actually uses chips made in China. This is the first time that Apple has used Chinese-made memory chips in its products, marking that the level of domestic chip manufacturing has been recognized by international technology giants. Although the Norflash chip from GigaDevice does not occupy a core position in the entire system, the fact that it is adopted is itself an important milestone in the development of China's semiconductor industry.
The application of this Norflash chip shows Apple's openness in the pursuit of product innovation and performance optimization, and also reflects the dynamic balance of forces of all parties in the global ** chain. Although the core technology of the "Apple Vision Pro" still relies on high-end components from the United States, Japan, South Korea and Europe, the role of Chinese manufacturers is gradually increasing.
Apple's choice to use domestic memory chips this time has undoubtedly injected a boost into China's chip industry. It is not only an affirmation of China's semiconductor technology progress, but also indicates that Chinese manufacturers are expected to play a more important role in a wider range of technology and product fields in the future.
However, to occupy a more advantageous position in the global technology industry, China's manufacturing industry still needs to continue to work. Breakthroughs and innovations in core technologies are the key, and only by truly mastering core technologies can Chinese enterprises have stronger competitiveness and voice in the international market.
We believe that with the continuous progress of the global science and technology community, we expect China's chip industry to usher in more breakthroughs, contribute China's strength to global scientific and technological innovation, and bring more high-quality and innovative technology products to domestic consumers. In this process, the use of domestic chips in Apple's "Apple Vision Pro" may be just the beginning. In the future, we have reason to believe that Made in China will play an increasingly important role in the global science and technology arena.
What is the future development prospect of China's chip industry on the global technology stage? Apple's use of domestic chips this time, what impact and enlightenment will it have on the chip industry at home and abroad? Feel free to leave your views in the comment section.
