The post highlights how U.S. White House and congressional officials have been reviewing this deal, as Apple plans to integrate its Apple Intelligence features with Alibaba's technology in China.  This collaboration is critical for Apple, considering China accounts for a significant portion of its revenue, and I worry that this scrutiny could delay the launch of these AI features.

      I think this could be a good strategy to regain dominance on safari browsers to make it light weight like a safari bot..rather than losing to Google and perplexity..if they can make it good can even launch to windows laptops as well..But openAI is with Microsoft , but this is a strategic play from Microsoft, as they continues to dominate OpenAI, being invested in them..and developing their own AI as well for bing. But apple needs to do something different here.Not sure what's happening in that front..they just can't focus on Tarrifs and let lose everything.

      Apple Is Threatening to Challenge Alphabet's Empire: Is the Stock a Buy?

      Apple could be looking to reinvent its Safari search engine through AI.Focus on the big pictureIt's worth pointing out that Microsoft tried something similar last year. It infused its search engine, Bing, with AI capabilities in a bid to dethrone Alphabet. However, Google continues to reign supreme, with a runaway 90% share of the search market. In my view, Apple wouldn't find much more success than Microsoft did in challenging Google. For one, Alphabet has already added an AI overview to its search results. Second, Google benefits from an incredibly powerful brand name in search.There is an important point to note, though. If anyone could challenge Alphabet, it might be Apple because of its massive installed base. The company's monetization initiatives won't all be successful; in my view, this one wouldn't be. But the fact that it has a giant ecosystem to monetize is a major strength. That's why Apple's services segment continues to make headway. It has more than a billion paid subscr

      I find the recent scrutiny surrounding Apple's $Apple(AAPL)$  AI partnership with Alibaba $Alibaba(09988)$   quite concerning, especially given the potential impact on iPhone sales in China. The post highlights how U.S. White House and congressional officials have been reviewing this deal, as Apple plans to integrate its Apple Intelligence features with Alibaba's technology in China.  This collaboration is critical for Apple, considering China accounts for a significant portion of its revenue, and I worry that this scrutiny could delay the launch of these AI features. If the launch is hindered, I fear it might exacerbate th

      Tencent's robust Q1 2025 performance, marked by a 13% year-over-year revenue increase to RMB 180.02 billion and a 20% rise in gross profit to RMB 100.49 billion, underscores its strong position in the Chinese tech landscape.

      Alibaba's recent stock decline, despite a significant year-over-year net profit increase of 279% to RMB 12.382 billion in Q4 FY2025, has raised questions about its investment potential. The dip was primarily due to revenue falling short of market expectations—reporting RMB 236.45 billion against the anticipated RMB 237.91 billion—leading to an over 5% drop in share value.  Analyst Perspectives and Price Targets Despite the revenue miss, several analysts maintain a positive outlook on Alibaba's stock:  Morgan Stanley has reaffirmed its "Overweight" rating with a price target of $180, citing confidence in Alibaba's core commerce growth and anticipated acceleration in its cloud segment.   Barclays also maintains an "Overweight" rating with a $180 target, highlighting Aliba
