From January to March, the domestic mobile phone shipments were 60.805 million units, a year-on-year decrease of 12.7%. Cinda Securities previously pointed out that the consumer electronics industry is currently in a phase of "upstream cost impact" and "downstream structural innovation" game. The cost pressure caused by the rise in storage chip prices is being transmitted downstream along the supply chain, putting significant pressure on price-sensitive mid-to-low-end brands. In addition, Tianfeng International Securities analyst Guo Mingjie recently stated that OpenAI plans to develop its own smartphone, collaborating with MediaTek and Qualcomm to develop smartphone processors, with Luxshare Precision Industry as the exclusive system co-design and manufacturer, and is expected to start production in 2028. Some analysts believe that Apple's most proud moat is facing direct challenges and threats from the new AI forces. If OpenAI successfully launches a new form of smartphone with an AI smart body core, it may pose a potential negative impact on Apple.
