Apple's WWDC conference this year is completely "soft", the only release of the hardware is the new Apple Watch rainbow strap, but the apple wearable device business led by Apple Watch has gradually become the industry's oldest.
Today, market research company IDC released a 2018 Q1 global wearable device market report, which showed that the first quarter global wearable equipment shipments were 25 million 100 thousand, up 1.2% from a year earlier. The growth rate of 18% in the same period last year could be said to be a slump.
Wearable devices are in the same downturn as smartphones, mainly due to a 9.2% drop in the shipments of basic wearable devices, while smart devices are more popular with consumers, and the relatively high-end smart wearable devices such as apple and Fitbit have grown by 28.4%.

In the second quarter Apple conference phone conference, Cook said the sales of wearable devices, including AirPods, Beats headphones and Apple Watch, grew by nearly 50%, supporting the growth of apple "other products" over 90%, and Cook's evaluation of the business was:
Our wearable device business can now rank among the fortune 300 companies.
Among them, the smart watch market occupies half of the Apple Watch work can not be, although the WWDC conference did not launch the new Apple Watch, but also updated watchOS 5, better support the sports function.
Recently, “ China core ” the National hot debate is still continuing. In this regard, CEO Ceng Xuezhong, the executive vice president and purple light exhibition of purple light group, said that the next 10 years are the era of artificial intelligence, 5G and AI will usher in the outbreak, and the driving force of technological change comes from the chip.
He stressed that in the next 10 years, no matter how the economy develops, chips will be indispensable. “ if steel is the foundation of the industrial age, the chip is the foundation of the digital age, and the whole semiconductor industry determines the future development trend of the world. ”
The 2018Q1 China chip industry market report, released by Amy consulting, shows that China's integrated circuit output has reached 156 billion 460 million in 2017, up 18.7% from 2016. As the country pays more attention to the chip industry, and the investment of future R & D resources in enterprises and institutions and other institutions, China's integrated circuit output will still be in the future. It is now growing rapidly.
China is the largest and fastest growing market in the world. In 2017, China's ten largest chip design rankings have accounted for two &mdash, purple light and HUAWEI hit.
It is understood that from 2G, 3G to 4G to the current 5G, purple exhibition has always insisted on independent innovation. The 2018 year exhibition has launched the SC9850KH chip platform, which is the first Chinese independent domestic CPU chip to realize the real business. It is also the first 4G chip platform in China to embed the key technology of embedded CPU with independent intellectual property rights. At the same time, it also launched the first 8 core AI chip platform SC9863, reducing the threshold for mass consumers to enter 5G and AI.
Ceng Xuezhong said that chip design is the top of the entire chip industry, its contribution to the industry and industry is 1 to 10 to 100, 1 yuan chip can pry the value of the industry 100 yuan, which is why chip design is the importance of the integrated circuit industry. The world is flat and parallel. The future global semiconductor market should be parallel development. You have me, I have you, and the world is one.
It is reported that this year has opened &ldquo in 5G research and development, 5G chip global leading strategy &rdquo, and successively with China Mobile, Intel, HUAWEI, Germany technology, Rhodes and Schwartz strategic cooperation, and planned to launch the first 5G chip in 2018, the second half of 2019 commercial first 5G mobile platform, and the 5G mobile network. The deployment of the collaterals is synchronized to the market.
