00:00:30U.S. technology giant Apple has started a critical leadership transition. After CEO
00:00:34Cook's resignation on September 1st, he was succeeded by the Senior Vice President of Hardware Engineering,
00:00:37Mr. Te. At midnight on the 10th, Taiwan time, the
00:00:41first new product launch event was held. In addition to the foldable phone
00:00:45iPhone Dual, which is known as the thinnest iPhone in history,
00:00:49iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro
00:00:53Max were also released. In addition, the voice assistant
00:00:56AI, which has been under development for many years, is also fully launched.
00:01:03and also to show that Apple has a
00:01:43The 7.6-inch iPhone Dual can not only operate simultaneously.
00:03:01There is a high energy battery on each side, custom silicon
00:03:04and algorithms handle all of the charging, discharging and
00:03:08rebalancing, so these two batteries operate seamlessly
00:03:12as one. The result is an impressive all day
00:03:15battery life. The launch also included the new
00:03:19iPhone 18 series. We're going to take these experiences even
00:03:22further with the next generation of iPhone, and here it
00:03:26is. Once you've been to the moon,
00:03:30where do you go next? This year, NASA astronauts used the iPhone
00:03:3417 Pro to photograph the Earth and the iPhone
00:03:37Duo. The iPhone
00:03:4118 Pro and Pro Max have significantly upgraded cameras, featuring 48-megapixel variable aperture sensors.
00:04:00The new iPhone Duo, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18
00:04:03Pro Max are purpose built to serve as your intelligent
00:04:07personal hub, with powerful performance and
00:04:10capabilities at the center of the experiences that matter most to
00:04:13you. Active
00:04:17AirPods and the new generation of Apple
00:04:18Watch have evolved personal fitness to create a full Apple life.
00:04:24I like what John is signaling, which is that the
00:04:28phone is still here. The stay is changing the
00:04:32value that we put on the phone, and that the other
00:04:36devices will come around that phone to bring
00:04:39even more value. Experts also believe that Tra-nas, who came from hardware, can win the market and establish a dominant position.
00:04:52I think you're going to see a lot more people, uh, look at foldables
00:04:55as an interesting new alternative. You might go to
00:04:59foldable now because of what it looks like, but you're going to stay for
00:05:02the software. I think Apple has done a great job in
00:05:06really limiting all the friction points that you might
00:05:09have as you learn what you can do within.
00:05:44Another major challenge is the digital assistant AI. The key functions of AI are
00:05:47personal context and screen display perception. It is said that it can integrate electronic
00:05:51mail and information to perform cross-software operations.
00:05:55Currently, it is still in the development stage, and the Beta version will be launched on September
00:05:5914th. In the short term, the user experience upgrade is quite limited. After the
00:06:02launch event, Wall Street's reaction was relatively lukewarm. Apple's stock price closed slightly
00:06:06down at $315.34
00:06:09on the 9th.
00:06:12era of hardware innovation
00:06:16clear AI strategy, in the
00:06:19midst of lots of concerns that Apple is behind its big tech peers in terms of
00:06:22AI, and so Apple has really tried to deliver on those two
00:06:26pieces
00:06:26today. After working from the bottom up for 25 years,
00:06:33according 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.
00:06:42Tra-nas, with an annual salary of up to 1.8 billion Taiwan dollars, faces magnified scrutiny for all his decisions.
00:06:46The iPhone,
00:06:49as the most successful consumer electronic product in history, accounted for more than
00:06:53half of Apple's sales in the past year, generating $200 billion in revenue.
00:06:56The huge technology empire left behind by former CEO Cook is now facing
00:07:00a technological gap in AI and is at a crossroads of transformation. The test for the new
00:07:04leader, Tra-nas, has just begun after the launch
00:07:08event.
00:07:08。
00:07:21At 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
00:07:24the U.S. dollar to rapidly weaken against the yen.
00:07:28Japan's economic growth in the second quarter was
00:07:320.4%, which was lower than expected. The market expects
00:07:35the Bank of Japan to raise interest rates on September
00:07:3918th. U.S. Treasury Secretary Northson said that Japan should
00:07:43stop its expansionary fiscal policy of re-inflation.
00:07:46。
00:07:52On one hand, there is a scramble for funds for AI infrastructure bonds. On the other hand,
00:07:56due to the Japanese government's accumulated debt, the yield on
00:08:00ten-year bonds has also exceeded 3%.
00:08:03In addition, data released by the Japanese Ministry of Finance
00:08:07showed that foreign exchange reserves at the end of August were nearly $80 billion
00:08:11less than at the end of July, indicating that Japan used heavy
00:08:15firepower to intervene. Due to the yield on Japanese
00:08:18ten-year government bonds rising to a 30-year high and
00:08:22breaking 30%, Japanese investors began to reduce their holdings of
00:08:26overseas bonds, and the yield on U.S. government bonds also began to
00:08:29fluctuate. The U.S. Treasury also spent $6 billion to buy back
00:08:33long-term bonds on the 10th, and the global bond market is expected
00:08:36to continue to fluctuate. Due to market
00:08:40expectations of an accelerated rate hike by the Bank of Japan, the yen's exchange rate against the U.S. dollar
00:08:43soared to its highest level in seven months, surpassing the high point after the joint
00:08:47intervention by Japan and the U.S., breaking through the 155 resistance
00:08:51level. It is even expected to reach 149 before the end of the year.
00:08:54。
00:09:01According to the U.S. Treasury Department's meeting records, Bei Sentai met with Bank of Japan Governor
00:09:04Ueda Kazuo at the G7 Finance Ministers meeting, expressing support for
00:09:08Japan's monetary policy to address the yen's muscular imbalance.
00:10:13Reflation policies and Prime Minister Koichi's long-held
00:10:17political strategy, or rather,
00:10:21the current cabinet's fundamental policy, are well-established.
00:12:13In August, Japan spent 15.4 trillion yen, approximately
00:12:16$98.6 billion, to rescue the yen's exchange rate. The market expects
00:12:20that it may sell U.S. debt to draw funds for market intervention, but if it continues.

00:16:10The 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
00:16:14in the Middle East in late January. The USS Lincoln, apart from a brief
00:16:18stopover in Guam, spent a total of
00:16:21286 days at sea, which is nine and a half months. Five thousand officers
00:16:25and Marines set foot on land for the first time since
00:16:29this winter.
00:16:30。
00:16:37'
00:17:45We should expect running water and clean drinking water, enough food to eat, working
00:17:48plumbing, the basics, because when you don't have the basics and you think
00:17:52about the needs of the war fighter, it's not just about having enough weapons
00:17:56or the right kinds of weapons, it's it's also about basic
00:17:59quality of life. And you've got a president
00:18:02who has changed a dozen
00:18:05times saying of... then that we've
00:18:09won. Well, if we've won, bring everybody home.
00:18:12And if we haven't, tell the truth about why we're still there. All these criticisms are not long enough.
00:18:27Not nearly long enough. The
00:18:30comments from like the present saying that the deployment wasn't nearly long
00:18:33enough. So the president speaks for himself, that's...
00:20:07After restoring its light gray appearance, it embarked on its return journey.
00:20:10。
00:20:12The USS Lincoln returned, and the USS Washington took over. There were external concerns about a
00:20:16gap in U.S. aircraft carriers in the Indo-Pacific region, but in fact, the U.S. amphibious
00:20:20assault ship USS Tripoli is still in the Indo-Pacific. The USS
00:20:24Ronald Reagan aircraft carrier is also about to depart from San Diego.
00:20:27The U.S. military's carrier strike capability is still substantial
00:20:31enough to respond to the Indo-Pacific situation. After the break, we will show you
00:20:35live commerce, which is very popular in mainland China. It has also become popular in the United States.
00:20:38On apps like TikTok and Whatnot, there are
00:20:42many live streamers who attract consumers to sell
00:20:46goods, 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.
00:24:57Welcome back to "Together We See the World." Live e-commerce in the United States started later than
00:25:01China by several years, and its growth rate is also much slower. However, in 2024,
00:25:05live commerce in the United States began to boom, more than three times the previous year.
00:25:09This year's sales are estimated to approach $20 billion,
00:25:13about 600 billion Taiwan dollars, more than double that of 2024.
00:25:16Such apps are all available.
00:25:43Beach
00:25:43waver, also sells directly on TikTok.
00:25:48。
00:27:02And then now we're starting to see like a steady slow growth. We're
00:27:06about to do a live auction, okay, so
00:27:09give us a couple
00:27:10minutes to go live.
00:27:14。
00:27:23Live auctions are also a strength of Whatnot. Whatnot,
00:27:27started in 2019, initially as an auction platform for collectibles.
00:27:31。
00:28:02seed of giants is
00:28:05they 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.
00:28:19keep it as a closed universe. So this is just an opportunity for our VIPs
00:28:23on TikTok, so they'll only get this live deal if
00:28:27they're watching the live show. One advice
00:28:30that shop
00:28:32guides to merchants is to lean into storytelling. I
00:28:36found storage, you guys. These are free gifts that I'm going to be giving away
00:28:39today. They want to hear the story about how
00:28:43products are made. They want to be introduced to the people behind
00:28:47the business and really lean into the live element of live shopping.
00:28:51Aaron is pulling boxes for you guys. Aaron, they also want to say hi to
00:28:55you.
00:28:58It's almost like a three-dimensional
00:29:00process versus traditional retail, which is
00:29:03two-dimensional. It bridges that
00:29:06shortfall of the inability to touch and feel, and
00:29:10that's always been
00:29:11online. Live streaming can also engage consumers.
00:29:17Those people are my friends. I believe that they know things about me that
00:29:20a normal person on the street wouldn't know. Community is everything.
00:29:24If these people don't trust you, like
00:29:28you, believe you, there is no point in even being
00:29:31live. The sales of U.S. live e-commerce are just a fraction of the Chinese
00:29:35market. China's live e-commerce business has been steadily rising for the past 10 years.
00:29:39This year, it is estimated to exceed $1 trillion.
00:29:43China's live selling is becoming more and more closely connected with various
00:29:46applications, including WeChat, AI assistants,
00:29:50food delivery software, and travel positioning systems.
00:29:53。
00:30:23Beachweaver
00:30:242024.
00:30:33There's a lot of content out there. You have to make sure
00:30:36that your feed is aligned with the algorithm and
00:30:39that 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.
00:30:54Live e-commerce has replaced traditional TV and physical stores, but
