After CEO [00:00:34] Cook's resignation on September 1st, he was succeeded by the Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering, [00:00:37] Mr. Te. At midnight on the 10th, Taiwan time, the [00:00:41] first new product launch event was held. In addition to the foldable phone [00:00:45] iPhone Dual, which is known as the thinnest iPhone in history, [00:00:49] iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro [00:00:53] Max were also released. In addition, the voice assistant [00:00:56] AI, which has been under development for many years, is also fully launched. [00:01:03] and also to show that Apple has a [00:01:43] The 7.6-inch iPhone Dual can not only operate simultaneously. [00:03:01] There is a high energy battery on each side, custom silicon [00:03:04] and algorithms handle all of the charging, discharging and [00:03:08] rebalancing, so these two batteries operate seamlessly [00:03:12] as one. The result is an impressive all day [00:03:15] battery life. The launch also included the new [00:03:19] iPhone 18 series. We're going to take these experiences even [00:03:22] further with the next generation of iPhone, and here it [00:03:26] is. Once you've been to the moon, [00:03:30] where do you go next? This year, NASA astronauts used the iPhone [00:03:34] 17 Pro to photograph the Earth and the iPhone [00:03:37] Duo. The iPhone [00:03:41] 18 Pro and Pro Max have significantly upgraded cameras, featuring 48-megapixel variable aperture sensors. [00:04:00] The new iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 [00:04:03] Pro Max are purpose built to serve as your intelligent [00:04:07] personal hub, with powerful performance and [00:04:10] capabilities at the center of the experiences that matter most to [00:04:13] you. Active [00:04:17] AirPods and the new generation of Apple [00:04:18] Watch have evolved personal fitness to create a full Apple life. [00:04:24] I like what John is signaling, which is that the [00:04:28] phone is still here. The stay is changing the [00:04:32] value that we put on the phone, and that the other [00:04:36] devices will come around that phone to bring [00:04:39] even more value. Experts also believe that Tra-nas, who came from hardware, can win the market and establish a dominant position. [00:04:52] I think you're going to see a lot more people, uh, look at foldables [00:04:55] as an interesting new alternative. You might go to [00:04:59] foldable now because of what it looks like, but you're going to stay for [00:05:02] the software. I think Apple has done a great job in [00:05:06] really limiting all the friction points that you might [00:05:09] have as you learn what you can do within. [00:05:44] Another major challenge is the digital assistant AI. The key functions of AI are [00:05:47] personal context and screen display perception. It is said that it can integrate electronic [00:05:51] mail and information to perform cross-software operations. [00:05:55] Currently, it is still in the development stage, and the Beta version will be launched on September [00:05:59] 14th. In the short term, the user experience upgrade is quite limited. After the [00:06:02] launch event, Wall Street's reaction was relatively lukewarm. Apple's stock price closed slightly [00:06:06] down at $315.34 [00:06:09] on the 9th. [00:06:12] era of hardware innovation [00:06:16] clear AI strategy, in the [00:06:19] midst of lots of concerns that Apple is behind its big tech peers in terms of [00:06:22] AI, and so Apple has really tried to deliver on those two [00:06:26] pieces [00:06:26] today. After working from the bottom up for 25 years, [00:06:33] according to the U.S. government, Tra-nas's basic annual salary after taking office is $3 million, and his stock options are as high as $5 million. [00:06:42] Tra-nas, with an annual salary of up to 1.8 billion Taiwan dollars, faces magnified scrutiny for all his decisions. [00:06:46] The iPhone, [00:06:49] as the most successful consumer electronic product in history, accounted for more than [00:06:53] half of Apple's sales in the past year, generating $200 billion in revenue. [00:06:56] The huge technology empire left behind by former CEO Cook is now facing [00:07:00] a technological gap in AI and is at a crossroads of transformation. The test for the new [00:07:04] leader, Tra-nas, has just begun after the launch [00:07:08] event. [00:07:08] 。 [00:07:21] At the end of July, the yen depreciated to a 40-year low of nearly 164 yen to one U.S. dollar, triggering joint intervention by Japan and the U.S. To stop the yen's depreciation, Japan has already sold nearly $90 billion in U.S. debt, causing [00:07:24] the U.S. dollar to rapidly weaken against the yen. [00:07:28] Japan's economic growth in the second quarter was [00:07:32] 0.4%, which was lower than expected. The market expects [00:07:35] the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates on September [00:07:39] 18th. U.S. Treasury Secretary Northson said that Japan should [00:07:43] stop its expansionary fiscal policy of re-inflation. [00:07:46] 。 [00:07:52] On one hand, there is a scramble for funds for AI infrastructure bonds. On the other hand, [00:07:56] due to the Japanese government's accumulated debt, the yield on [00:08:00] ten-year bonds has also exceeded 3%. [00:08:03] In addition, data released by the Japanese Ministry of Finance [00:08:07] showed that foreign exchange reserves at the end of August were nearly $80 billion [00:08:11] less than at the end of July, indicating that Japan used heavy [00:08:15] firepower to intervene. Due to the yield on Japanese [00:08:18] ten-year government bonds rising to a 30-year high and [00:08:22] breaking 30%, Japanese investors began to reduce their holdings of [00:08:26] overseas bonds, and the yield on U.S. government bonds also began to [00:08:29] fluctuate. The U.S. Treasury also spent $6 billion to buy back [00:08:33] long-term bonds on the 10th, and the global bond market is expected [00:08:36] to continue to fluctuate. Due to market [00:08:40] expectations of an accelerated rate hike by the Bank of Japan, the yen's exchange rate against the U.S. dollar [00:08:43] soared to its highest level in seven months, surpassing the high point after the joint [00:08:47] intervention by Japan and the U.S., breaking through the 155 resistance [00:08:51] level. It is even expected to reach 149 before the end of the year. [00:08:54] 。 [00:09:01] According to the U.S. Treasury Department's meeting records, Bei Sentai met with Bank of Japan Governor [00:09:04] Ueda Kazuo at the G7 Finance Ministers meeting, expressing support for [00:09:08] Japan's monetary policy to address the yen's muscular imbalance. [00:10:13] Reflation policies and Prime Minister Koichi's long-held [00:10:17] political strategy, or rather, [00:10:21] the current cabinet's fundamental policy, are well-established. [00:12:13] In August, Japan spent 15.4 trillion yen, approximately [00:12:16] $98.6 billion, to rescue the yen's exchange rate. The market expects [00:12:20] that it may sell U.S. debt to draw funds for market intervention, but if it continues. [00:12:24] 续 。 [00:16:10] The USS San Diego, originally scheduled for rotation to the Asia-Pacific region, was rerouted to the Middle East to support U.S. military operations against Iran, arriving [00:16:14] in the Middle East in late January. The USS Lincoln, apart from a brief [00:16:18] stopover in Guam, spent a total of [00:16:21] 286 days at sea, which is nine and a half months. Five thousand officers [00:16:25] and Marines set foot on land for the first time since [00:16:29] this winter. [00:16:30] 。 [00:16:37] ' [00:17:45] We should expect running water and clean drinking water, enough food to eat, working [00:17:48] plumbing, the basics, because when you don't have the basics and you think [00:17:52] about the needs of the war fighter, it's not just about having enough weapons [00:17:56] or the right kinds of weapons, it's it's also about basic [00:17:59] quality of life. And you've got a president [00:18:02] who has changed a dozen [00:18:05] times saying of... then that we've [00:18:09] won. Well, if we've won, bring everybody home. [00:18:12] And if we haven't, tell the truth about why we're still there. All these criticisms are not long enough. [00:18:27] Not nearly long enough. The [00:18:30] comments from like the present saying that the deployment wasn't nearly long [00:18:33] enough. So the president speaks for himself, that's... [00:20:07] After restoring its light gray appearance, it embarked on its return journey. [00:20:10] 。 [00:20:12] The USS Lincoln returned, and the USS Washington took over. There were external concerns about a [00:20:16] gap in U.S. aircraft carriers in the Indo-Pacific region, but in fact, the U.S. amphibious [00:20:20] assault ship USS Tripoli is still in the Indo-Pacific. The USS [00:20:24] Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier is also about to depart from San Diego. [00:20:27] The U.S. military's carrier strike capability is still substantial [00:20:31] enough to respond to the Indo-Pacific situation. After the break, we will show you [00:20:35] live commerce, which is very popular in mainland China. It has also become popular in the United States. [00:20:38] On apps like TikTok and Whatnot, there are [00:20:42] many live streamers who attract consumers to sell [00:20:46] goods, which has become a new trend. Let's ask immediately. My grandfather spent his entire life, and my father also spent his entire life building this castle. The rustling sound of the pieces in my hand, in fact, merges with the rustling sound of my father, and the two are connected. There will always be this kind of feeling in life, just try it. I didn't choose this path, and of course, I don't know if the result will be good or bad, but I would have missed out on such a big part of what I might not have experienced. [00:24:57] Welcome back to "Together We See the World." Live e-commerce in the United States started later than [00:25:01] China by several years, and its growth rate is also much slower. However, in 2024, [00:25:05] live commerce in the United States began to boom, more than three times the previous year. [00:25:09] This year's sales are estimated to approach $20 billion, [00:25:13] about 600 billion Taiwan dollars, more than double that of 2024. [00:25:16] Such apps are all available. [00:25:43] Beach [00:25:43] waver, also sells directly on TikTok. [00:25:48] 。 [00:27:02] And then now we're starting to see like a steady slow growth. We're [00:27:06] about to do a live auction, okay, so [00:27:09] give us a couple [00:27:10] minutes to go live. [00:27:14] 。 [00:27:23] Live auctions are also a strength of Whatnot. Whatnot, [00:27:27] started in 2019, initially as an auction platform for collectibles. [00:27:31] 。 [00:28:02] seed of giants is [00:28:05] they were very smart in building community first. They have a true identity. The methods of staying on various platforms are actually similar: convenience of shopping, entertainment, and special offers during live broadcasts. [00:28:19] keep it as a closed universe. So this is just an opportunity for our VIPs [00:28:23] on TikTok, so they'll only get this live deal if [00:28:27] they're watching the live show. One advice [00:28:30] that shop [00:28:32] guides to merchants is to lean into storytelling. I [00:28:36] found storage, you guys. These are free gifts that I'm going to be giving away [00:28:39] today. They want to hear the story about how [00:28:43] products are made. They want to be introduced to the people behind [00:28:47] the business and really lean into the live element of live shopping. [00:28:51] Aaron is pulling boxes for you guys. Aaron, they also want to say hi to [00:28:55] you. [00:28:58] It's almost like a three-dimensional [00:29:00] process versus traditional retail, which is [00:29:03] two-dimensional. It bridges that [00:29:06] shortfall of the inability to touch and feel, and [00:29:10] that's always been [00:29:11] online. Live streaming can also engage consumers. [00:29:17] Those people are my friends. I believe that they know things about me that [00:29:20] a normal person on the street wouldn't know. Community is everything. [00:29:24] If these people don't trust you, like [00:29:28] you, believe you, there is no point in even being [00:29:31] live. The sales of U.S. live e-commerce are just a fraction of the Chinese [00:29:35] market. China's live e-commerce business has been steadily rising for the past 10 years. [00:29:39] This year, it is estimated to exceed $1 trillion. [00:29:43] China's live selling is becoming more and more closely connected with various [00:29:46] applications, including WeChat, AI assistants, [00:29:50] food delivery software, and travel positioning systems. [00:29:53] 。 [00:30:23] Beachweaver [00:30:24] 2024. [00:30:33] There's a lot of content out there. You have to make sure [00:30:36] that your feed is aligned with the algorithm and [00:30:39] that it's putting you in front of the right people. It's getting harder to maintain sales volume. E-commerce businesses and live streamers use different ways to introduce themselves, frequently launch new products, or increase customer loyalty. [00:30:54] Live e-commerce has replaced traditional TV and physical stores, but
