苹果公司一直以来都在默默进行一系列的收购和招聘，旨在为下一代iPhone搭载更强大的本地人工智能技术做好准备。据英国《金融时报》报道，苹果在解决“如何在移动设备上运行人工智能”这一技术难题上一直保持专注。
为了实现这一目标，苹果已经收购了多家AI初创公司。据PitchBook的数据，自2017年初以来，苹果已经收购了21家人工智能初创公司。其中，最近一次收购是在去年年初，一家名为WaveOne的加州公司，该公司提供基于AI的视频压缩技术。
这些收购和招聘举措表明，苹果正致力于在移动设备上实现更高级的人工智能技术。有分析师认为，这一战略或将使得下一代iPhone在拍照、语音识别、智能推荐等方面有显著提升。
苹果的这一举动无疑将加剧智能手机市场的竞争，其他厂商也纷纷投入AI技术的研发，以提升自家产品的竞争力。随着AI技术的不断成熟，未来手机的创新将不仅仅局限于硬件，更多的是软件和服务的创新。
