Liu Zuohu talks about Apple AI: Unexpected features released one year in advance for next year

After the release of the new iPhone 16 series, it caused a lot of controversy. Although it brought a significant upgrade, it is still “a dwarf compared to a giant” in front of the fiercely competitive domestic mobile phones. On September 11, OPPO Chief Product Officer and OnePlus founder Liu Zuohu talked about Apple AI and said: It’s interesting that many AI interactive experiences coincide with each other, and many AI thinking logics are also very consistent. It’s just that releasing next year’s functions a year in advance is a bit unexpected.

After the release of the iPhone 16 series, many people criticized that “the Chinese version does not support Apple Intelligence functions, and the Chinese version will have to wait until next year to be launched.” Previously, Lu Weibing, partner, president, and president of the international department of Xiaomi Group, had allegedly posted a post to sneer at Apple, saying: Xiaomi 15, the “full ecosystem of people, cars, and homes” AI advanced experience, better understands Chinese users, no need to wait until next year!

Zhao Ming, CEO of Honor Device Co., Ltd., was much more reserved. He said that Apple and Honor have reached the same goal in the development of AI, and only by competing with each other in the experience of AI services can they win more users and promote innovation in the industry. AI Agent will start a new round of innovation competition in smartphones. Honor Magic7 will be the first mobile phone that Chinese consumers can experience AI Agent.

Overall, domestic mobile phone executives are actually quite supportive of Apple’s AI capabilities, but they are dissatisfied with the fact that Apple will release it this year but the features can only be experienced next year.

Previously, Liu Zuohu expressed his opinion that AI must be the future. Liu Zuohu said that AI has given everyone very clear application scenarios, and its practicality is innate. In addition, AI brings surprises to users, which is something that many previous technologies did not have.
