Major changes! Apple is reportedly developing ultra-thin and foldable iPhones.
According to reports, Apple plans to launch a thinner iPhone model than the current version starting next year, which will be cheaper than the Pro series; in addition, Apple will also develop two foldable devices, one larger that can be used as a laptop, and another smaller that can function as a foldable iPhone.
The year marks a turning point for iPhone, what does it mean for the supply chain?
Nomura believes that this year's iPhone 16 series is not fully adapted for AI applications in terms of hardware, and the iPhone 17 series to be launched in the second half of next year may be Apple's first true AI phone, at which point Apple may re-adjust its product line. It is expected that the iPhone 17 series will be equipped with the A19 series processor, with upgrades in screen size, pixels, and memory. The Pro series may switch to aluminum alloy material for the body, and additional heat dissipation components may be added.
Solid state batteries accelerate the reshaping of the lithium battery industry chain, eVTOL manufacturers call for breakthroughs in materials end | Focus on.
1. The contact mode between the solid state battery electrolyte and the active material has changed from solid-liquid contact to solid-solid contact, leading to a series of changes, including the attention to dry process technology and the corresponding equipment manufacturers are also iterating; 2. Solid-state batteries still face challenges in terms of cost and mass production; 3. The application end of eVTOL in the emerging industry xinxingchanye has attracted attention, with ehang believing that the current battery material end is still the bottleneck.

Lithium battery elimination match exam question: Will solid state batteries be cheaper than liquid ones? Will sodium batteries account for half of the market? | Direct hit at the "Battery Davos".
①After the expansion of power batteries, the industry elimination has also entered a deep water area; ②Although the industry generally expects full solid state batteries to become the "next generation battery", experts point out that the bottleneck of conductivity, production equipment and cost still needs to be addressed; ③Affected by the sharp drop in lithium prices, the industrialization speed of sodium batteries has slowed down, and sodium batteries will still need time to reduce costs and increase efficiency in order to win market share in the new round of energy storage competition.
The improvement in the supply-demand relationship has led to the average price of battery-grade lithium carbonate returning to 0.08 million yuan per ton. What will happen in the future?
Shanghai Ganglian e-commerce holdings' new energy fund research team analyzed to journalists that the short-term demand exceeding expectations has eased the continuous accumulation of warehouse inventory pressure, thereby promoting the market to repair the price level of this category; Founder Mo Ke of True Lithium believes that there is a 3-month time difference between lithium ore procurement and battery production, and this rise may be caused by capital disturbance. Next year, prices are feared to fall below 0.06 million yuan/ton, and it will still take about a year to clear the excess production capacity.
The dual catalysis of 'technology + demand' has once again brought a 'mini spring' to the industrialization process of solid state batteries.
As of today's closing, stocks related to solid state battery concept have risen by 2.64%. On November 7, Chongqing Changan Automobile and Tianneng New Energy jointly released solid state lithium battery technology without separator. This technology achieves for the first time in the industry the elimination of traditional liquid lithium battery separator by introducing a high-density composite solid-state electrolyte layer on the surface of the polarity sheet to replace the separator function.
