Apple Store 官方旗舰店 iPhone 16 全系列降价
据第一财经报道，Apple Store 官方旗舰店于 10 月 20 日公布天猫双 11 优惠，10 月 21 日晚间现货开卖。
根据 Apple Store 官方旗舰店的信息显示，iPhone 16 全系四款手机在活动期间均优惠 500 元。同时，苹果手机以旧换新至高可补贴 1100 元，这意味着在叠加以旧换新后，购买 iPhone 16 系列手机至高可优惠 1600 元。
报道指出，在苹果官方旗舰店 10 月 21 日晚开始降价之前，线上其他销售 iPhone 16 的店铺已经在降价。
9 月 19 日，拼多多平台 iPhone 16 售价 5399 元起，相比官网降价 600 元；而京东的「Apple 产品京东自营旗舰店」，针对 iPhone 16、iPhone 16 Plus 推出了加价 49 元可得 1 年期 AppleCare+，以及 iPhone 16 Pro Max 加价 99 元可得 1 年期 AppleCare+ 的服务。相较于官网，两项 AppleCare 价格分别下降了 600 元、800 元。
市场研究机构 Canalys 分析师周乐轩表示，缺乏人工智能服务、消费者支出减少、竞争加剧等都是苹果在国内市场面临的挑战。
他还指出，截至今年第二季度，苹果在国内 600 美元以上智能手机市场占有 52% 市场份额，但仍存在挑战。例如，缺乏人工智能服务，苹果智能手机在中国的可用性不足，预计会削弱现有用户升级到 iPhone 16 的动力。

Apple Store Official Flagship Store iPhone 16 Series Price Drop
According to the First Financial Report, the Apple Store Official Flagship Store announced discounts during Tmall Double 11 on October 20 and went on sale with stock on the evening of October 21.
According to information from the Apple Store Official Flagship Store, all four models of the iPhone 16 series are discounted by 500 yuan during the event. At the same time, Apple's old-for-new offer can give a subsidy of up to 1100 yuan, meaning that after stacking the old-for-new offer, the maximum discount for buying an iPhone 16 series phone is 1600 yuan.
Before the price drop started at the Apple official flagship store on October 21, other online stores selling the iPhone 16 had already started discounting.
On September 19, the iPhone 16 on the Pinduoduo platform was priced at 5399 yuan, a 600 yuan discount compared to the official website; while JD's "Apple Products JD Self-Operated Flagship Store" introduced a service where customers can add 49 yuan to get 1 year of AppleCare+ for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, and add 99 yuan for the iPhone 16 Pro Max to get 1 year of AppleCare+. Compared to the official website, the prices for both AppleCare services have been reduced by 600 yuan and 800 yuan respectively.
Canalys analyst Zhou Lexuan said that challenges Apple faces in the Chinese market include lack of AI services, reduced consumer spending, and increased competition.
He also pointed out that as of the second quarter of this year, Apple has a 52% market share in the mainland China smartphone market for phones priced above $600, but still faces challenges. For example, the lack of AI services means the availability of Apple smartphones in China is insufficient, and it is expected to weaken the motivation for existing users to upgrade to the iPhone 16.
Qualcomm Launches Snapdragon 8 Ultimate Edition, Self-Developed Architecture 3nm Technology

In terms of AI, under the new architecture, not only has the NPU become stronger, but there is also a separate SensingHub that allows for a maximum of 45% improvement in AI performance, with integrated new end-to-end multimodal generative AI assistant for faster responses.

In the paper, the research team at Harvard Medical School and its collaborators developed an AI model called TxGNN.

Institution: Q3 Mainland China Monitor Overall Online Retail Sales Increased by 27%
According to the Loto Technologies' monthly tracking report of Mainland China display monitors released on October 21, the overall online retail market (including traditional e-commerce and content e-commerce) saw sales of 2.69 million units in the third quarter of 2024, a 27% year-on-year increase.
The report notes that traditional e-commerce accounted for about 92%, at 2.47 million units, a 29% year-on-year increase; with sales of 2.5 billion yuan, an 18% year-on-year increase.

The high growth in the Chinese display monitor online market in Q3 was mainly due to the combined effect of the low base of the same period last year and the significant drop in terminal prices since the beginning of this year.
In addition, "Black Myth: Wukong" also sparked a wave of e-sports product sales, with the market share of e-sports products rising to 63% in the third quarter.
