PHYSIX OBSERVATION
Apple Intelligence enters China for testing, but Siri's absence shows compliance and feature compromises. The three-department probe into Zunjie's brake issue signals zero tolerance for new-energy vehicle safety. Windows 11 optimizations and DeepSeek's compensation reflect vendors' attention to user experience. Soaring memory prices and plunging phone shipments foreshadow industry cost pressure and market contraction.
