  • Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) COO Jeff Williams sees the iPhone as a major player in AI platforms in the future.
  • The iPhone X features an A11 chip with AI capabilities.
  • “We think that the frameworks that we’ve got, the ‘neural engines’ we’ve put in the phone, in the watch ... we do view that as a huge piece of the future, we believe these frameworks will allow developers to create apps that will do more and more in this space, so we think the phone is a major platform,” Williams says during the 30th-anniversary event for chipmaker Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co. (NYSE:TSM).
  • Williams also notes that TSMC provided 100% of the new iPhone and iPad chips after the supplier invested $9B in bringing up its fab in under a year.
  • Bloomberg’s Tim Culpan argues that TSMC’s recent weak monthly sales numbers, and those of other suppliers, show weaker interest in this year’s iPhone models.
