Zhito Finance APP has learned that on Friday, Apple's (AAPL.US) stock price rose, with gains exceeding 1.1% as of press time, and a market capitalization of $4.87 trillion. On the news front, well-known Apple product leaker Mark Gurman dropped several major exclusives in succession: a touchscreen MacBook Pro could debut as early as October, and Apple's smart home hub "has already been stocked in global warehouses." Gurman revealed that Apple's internally codenamed "J490" AI smart home hub (Smart Home Hub) will be the key to breaking the deadlock. "This is Apple's next 'Big Thing,' and it is only weeks away from release." Gurman emphasized that Apple's past attempts in the smart home field, such as the iPod Hi-Fi and the early HomePod, were "half-finished products," but J490 will completely change this situation.
