Apple's AI Stumble Opens Door for Huawei's Shocking Comeback

In partnership with

Apple, the tech giant that seemed unstoppable, has hit a surprising roadblock with its iPhone 16 launch. 

The promised AI features that had everyone buzzing are n​ow on hold until "later this year" or "early next year." 

Meanwhile, Huawei—yes, Huawei—is making a stunning comeback that's shaking up the entire industry.

He​re's the shocker: While Apple struggles to deliver its "Apple Intelligence" suite, Huawei's n​ew Mate XT is racking up over four m​illion pre-orders. 

The Chinese tech giant, supposedly hamstrung by U.S. sanctions, has pulled o​ff what their executive Richard Yu calls "a product everyone can think of but could not make."

The numbers tell a dramatic story. Apple has plummeted from third to sixth place in China's smartphone market share. 

Meanwhile, Huawei has leapfrogged Samsung to become the world's largest vendor of foldable phones. Talk about a plot twist.

China's reaction to Apple's delays has been particularly fierce. "The absence of AI is like cutting one of Apple's arms," one Weibo user declared. 

Another asked pointedly, "With the biggest selling point unavailable, shouldn't you charge us half the p​rice?"

The stakes are enormous. China has approved 188 large language models for public use - none from foreign companies. 

Apple's AI features in China are n​ow at the mercy of Chinese regulators, while Huawei charges ahead with its domestically produced Kylin chips and advanced AI capabilities.

As industry analyst Laura Martin from Needham puts it, "The core Apple message for iPhone 16 was: Next year will be better." 

But in tech, a year is an eternity, and Huawei's not waiting around.
