Impact of Tariffs and Chipset: Tariffs on Apple products in the US are unlikely due to their market position and past exemptions. Capacity can be allocated, and current stock valuations are attractive. [doc id='6'] 8. Brand Company Advantages: In the AI era, terminal hardware entry companies occupy an important position, and brand new companies can obtain price increases and profit margin elasticity due to falling upstream raw material prices. [doc id='7'] 9. Market and Catalyst Factors: The current market has seen significant gains from the bean bag concept to domestic related stocks. The key catalyst is Apple's negotiations with Tencent and ByteDance to integrate enterprise functions into future phones sold in China. This highlights the higher value of terminal entry and the development of AI from the cloud side to the terminal side. [doc id='10'] 10. Investment Framework: At this stage, sentiment is more important than performance and valuation. The main catalysts in the future will be concentrated in the AI terminal side. [doc id='10', '13'] 11.
