Apple, big news! Stock price has taken a sharp nosedive.

Apple announced on February 24 that it plans to invest $500 billion in the United States over the next four years and will hire 20,000 new employees to produce artificial intelligence servers in the United States. The news was disclosed several days after Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook met at the White House's Oval Office. After the news was released, Apple's stock price fell sharply before the market opened, and the decline widened to 1.31% by the time of writing. On the evening of February 22, Berkshire Hathaway, Warren Buffett's company, released its fourth-quarter and full-year 2024 performance report and its annual letter to shareholders. As of the end of 2024, the market value of Apple held by Berkshire Hathaway had fallen to $75.1 billion, down nearly $100 billion from the end of 2023. Earlier, Apple's AI, which has been highly anticipated, will support Chinese in April, but whether users can experience Apple's intelligence as scheduled still depends on the approval of domestic regulators. Apple said that the new language support will be officially launched in almost all regions around the world with iOS 18.4, iPadOS 18.4, and macOS 13.4 in April, and developers can test the corresponding versions starting today. Apple said that Apple's intelligence will continue to expand its functions in the next few months, including "more Siri-related functions." Apple also said that with the release of the above software updates, iPhone and iPad users in the EU will be able to use Apple's intelligence for the first time, and Apple's intelligence will be extended to new platforms (supporting American English) through Apple Vision Pro, helping users communicate, collaborate, and express themselves in new ways. However, Apple added that the launch of Apple's intelligence in China will be subject to regulatory approval. In other words, if it has not been approved by the relevant authorities by April, users will still be unable to experience Apple's AI functions. On February 13, Jack Ma, co-founder and chairman of Alibaba, officially confirmed the cooperation between Alibaba and Apple at the 2025 World Government Summit in Dubai. Alibaba's AI models will be deeply integrated into the iOS system, covering voice interaction, image generation, personalized recommendations, and other functional modules. Another piece of news showed that Apple would hold a developer event in Shanghai on March 25, and it is expected to announce more details about the Chinese version of Apple's AI. The news was disclosed several days after Trump and Apple CEO Tim Cook met at the White House's Oval Office.
