PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Li Auto has maxed out its openness on phone connectivity this time, bringing both CarPlay and HiCar onboard, which means it no longer forces users to pick one. Combined with the 8797 chip and the 6K large screen, cockpit competition is shifting from stacking screens to ecosystem compatibility and split-screen experience, a positive signal for both Apple and Huawei phone users.
