Apple vs Huawei: AI Wars in Smartphone Mastery

Apple and Huawei are set to unveil groundbreaking smartphones infused with artificial intelligence. Apple's iPhone 16 launch may face competition from Huawei's triple-folding Mate XT. With over 3 million pre-orders, Huawei demonstrates resilience amid U.S. sanctions. Apple's new AI features are delayed, adding more competition in the high-end market.

Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 16, its new flagship device, highlighting advanced artificial intelligence features. However, the launch may be overshadowed by China's Huawei, which plans to release a triple-folding smartphone on the same day.

Huawei has already secured over 3 million pre-orders for its Mate XT, showcasing its ability to navigate U.S. sanctions and challenge Apple in the Chinese market. As Ben Bajarin from Creative Strategies noted, the Chinese market is increasingly demanding AI enhancements.

Apple's AI features, previewed at its June developer conference, will take time to reach consumers. Meanwhile, Apple shares dipped by 1.25% following this high-stakes face-off with Huawei.
