Hyundai isn’t in discussion to develop Apple Car: Report
“Apple and Hyundai are in discussions but they are at an early stage and nothing has been decided,” Hyundai Motor said in a statement earlier. The company did not reveal details about the nature of the talks with Apple. Now, according to a Bloomberg report, Hyundai and its affiliate Kia have said that they aren’t in talks with Apple to develop the Apple Car. This comes after intense speculation about the potential partnership.
As per the report, Apple paused discussions with Hyundai and Kia weeks ago about building an electric vehicle. The report cites “people familiar with the matter.” Further, Apple is said to have discussed similar plans with other auto manufacturers.
“Talks with Apple ending isn’t going to dampen Hyundai’s strategy because the automaker already has set up plans on its EV business with the Ioniq brand,” said Lee Jae-il, an analyst at Eugene Investment & Securities Co. in Seoul. “There’s still a possibility for Hyundai and Kia to cooperate with other automakers for its EV platform.”
It is also reported that Apple is in discussions with at least six Japanese automakers over potential supply and manufacturing partnerships.
It was earlier reported that Apple was inching closer to inking a deal with Hyundai for its highly-anticipated EV project. Apple Car is anticipated to be a fully autonomous vehicle and will not be designed with a driver in mind. It would be an autonomous, electric vehicle designed to operate without a driver and focused on the last mile.
The new Apple product is said to make its debut in 2024. Apple has initial plans of rolling out 100,000 Apple Car units annually, with a total production run of 400,000 cars planned. On the other hand, several reports have claimed that the rollout could be pushed back to 2025.

Apple Car will reportedly be a fully autonomous electric vehicle
Earlier this week, it was reported that Apple is nearing a deal with Hyundai-Kia worth around $3.6 billion to make its first electric car. Now, CNBC also reports – citing multiple sources familiar with the latest developments – that Apple is inching closer to inking a deal with Hyundai for its highly-anticipated EV project with plans of assembling it at Kia’s automobile facility in Georgia.
Apple's EV will reportedly be based on Hyundai's E-GMP electric vehicle platform
More importantly, sources cited in the report mention that the Apple Car will be a fully autonomous vehicle and is not designed with a driver in mind. “The first Apple Cars will not be designed to have a driver. These will be autonomous, electric vehicles designed to operate without a driver and focused on the last mile,” a source privy to the matter was quoted as saying by CNBC. If proven correct, the Apple EV will go head-to-head with Tesla, which is also aggressively pushing towards the release of its own fully autonomous driving technology.
The Apple Car will reportedly make its debut in 2024, and as per reports coming out of South Korea, the company has initial plans of rolling out 100,000 Apple Car units annually, with a total production run of 400,000 cars planned. However, multiple sources and analysts – including Ming-Chi Kuo – suggest the debut of Apple’s electric car might be pushed back to 2025.
Apple seeks full control over the hardware and software of its upcoming EV
Regarding its partnership with Hyundai, Apple picked the South Korean automobile company for multiple reasons, one of them being its production facility in US, and the other one being its ability to scale up in order to accommodate Apple’s plans. Plus, Apple wanted a brand that could afford it a high level of control over both software and hardware aspects of the upcoming EV. The Apple Car will reportedly be based on Hyundai’s own E-GMP electric vehicle platform, which might be yet another reason for Apple to collaborate with the company.
However, there is a chance that Apple’s deal with Hyundai might not materialize. Or, Apple might also sign a deal with another carmaker in addition to Hyundai. Right now, it is too early to predict, with Apple being notoriously silent about its car project, and Hyundai has also not shared any official details about what’s cooking between the two companies either.

Apple to invest $3.6 billion in Hyundai’s Kia, plans to debut electric car in 2024: Report
At the start of this week, noted analyst Ming-Chi Kuo shed some details on Apple’s partnership with Hyundai for developing its highly anticipated electric car that will be based on the Korean automobile giant’s E-GMP platform for EVs. Now, as per a report from Korea’s DongA.Com, Apple is in talks to invest a KRW 4 trillion (~ $3.6 billion) in Hyundai’s Kia subsidiary. The contract will reportedly be signed later this month (likely on February 17) after talks between the two companies began last month.
Hyundai's Kia will build dedicated production lines for Apple at its Georgia facility
As per the report, Kia will handle the Apple Car project as Apple aims to set up exclusive production units at Kia’s facility in Georgia. More importantly, Apple has reportedly set a target of 2024 to debut its electric vehicle, and aims to produce 100,000 units of its electric car per year. Overall, Apple is said to have planned an initial run of 400,000 units for its first electric car. And to achieve those numbers, Kia is expected to build a dedicated production line for Apple’s EV.
Additionally, Hyundai Glovis – which provides car distribution as well as a wide range of logistics services – will reportedly play a key role once the Apple Car hits the market. Apple is said to have cherrypicked Hyundai because the company has an electric vehicle platform of its own, owns a production facility in the US, and is deemed capable of fulfilling the 2024 production target that Apple has planned.
What to expect from the Apple Car?
Apple aims to produce 100,000 units of its electric car annually
As for the specifics of Hyundai E-GMP – the platform on which the Apple Car will reportedly be developed – it is claimed to offer a range of 500 km on a single charge. Plus, Hyundai claims that the battery goes from zero to 80% in just 18 minutes. Coming to the speed and acceleration figures, the Hyundai platform offers a top speed of 260 km/h and can go from 0-100 km/h in just 3.5 seconds. It is also claimed to offer the world’s first multi-charging (400V/800V) and bi-directional power conversion function.
Of course, the Hyundai E-GMP platform can be heavily modified and tweaked to a carmaker’s liking, which means the numbers mentioned above might vary depending on the direction Apple chooses to go with its first electric vehicle. Apple Car will reportedly be a high-end offering that will sit above what the likes of Hyundai and Volkswagen have planned when it comes to democratizing the technology towards the shared goal of a greener future – and also making a lot of money in the process.

More details about Apple’s electric car and partnership with Hyundai surface online
Less than a month ago, Hyundai confirmed that Apple is indeed working on its own electric car project. Since then, multiple reports have claimed that Apple is joining hands with Hyundai for its highly-anticipated automobile, but there have also been reports of a schism between Hyundai executives over the collaboration with Apple. Now, TF Securities Ming-Chi Kuo – who has a solid track record when it comes to Apple-related predictions – has shed more light on the company’s partnership with the South Korean automobile giant.
As per an investor note that was accessed by AppleInsider, Kuo mentioned that the Apple Car will be based on Hyundai’s E-GMP platform for electric vehicles that was showcased last year. He adds that production will be handled by Hyundai’s Kia subsidiary, while the responsibility of component designing and production will be shouldered by Hyundai Mobis.
As per Kuo's estimate, Apple's electric car won't hit the road until until 2025
More importantly, Kuo anticipates that the Apple Car likely won’t hit the road until 2025. Additionally, the first Apple automobile willl reportedly be priced significantly higher than a regular electric vehicle. This falls in line chatter going around in the industry that Apple’s electric car will be a high-end machine, and not necessarily a mass-market vehicle. Here’s what Kuo wrote in his investor note:
| “Apple’s deep collaboration with current automakers (Hyundai Group, GM, and PSA) who have extensive development, production, and qualification experience will significantly shorten the Apple Car development time and create a time-to-market advantage. We believe that Apple will leverage current automakers’ resources and focus on self-driving hardware and software, semiconductors, battery-related technologies, form factor and internal space designs, innovative user experience, and the integration with Apple’s existing ecosystem.” |
Apple Car won’t be a mass-market electric vehicle
Apple will rely heavily on outsourcing from established names in the automobile industry
Kuo mentions that Apple will source manufacturing and assembly hardware to other established names in the automobile industry. In the past, experts have also predicted the outsourcing route for Apple, as creating a robust supply chain for an automobile is way more complex compared to consumer electronics such as phones, tablets, and computers.
That is primarily because a car is made up of a lot more parts than a smartphone, and add to it a lot more intensive R&D process followed by rigorous testing and certification hassles. And if Apple aims to meet its production goal – which according to a Reuters report will begin in 2024 – then the company will have to leverage the expertise and experience of veteran players in the automobile industry.

Hyundai confirms Apple is developing an electric car
Recently, a Reuters report claimed that Apple is targeting 2024 to start the production of its first electric passenger car. The product has been in development for a while now under the name Project Titan. The electric vehicle is said to be half a decade away from launching. However, this means, the Cupertino giant is actively searching for components for its next product, the Apple Car. Now, Hyundai Motor has said that it is in early discussions with Apple after Korea Economic Daily TV reported that the two were in talks to cooperate on electric cars and batteries.
Hyundai and Apple might collaborate on the upcoming Apple Car
“Apple and Hyundai are in discussions but they are at an early stage and nothing has been decided,” Hyundai Motor said in a statement. The company did not give details about the nature of the talks with Apple. However, a few hours after that, it issued (via) another revision that omitted Apple: “We’ve been receiving requests for potential cooperation from various companies regarding development of autonomous EVs,” the latest version said. “No decisions have been made as discussions are in early stage.”
It is not possible for Apple to build an EV on its own
Apple is likely to be looking at partners since it doesn’t have production capabilities and sales networks to sell its cars. “Building up those capabilities can’t be done quickly so Apple will need a partner for that,” said Lee Han-Joon, an analyst at KTB Investment & Securities Co. in Seoul. Hyundai is said to provide Apple with a partner that’s already accelerating a push into electric and driver-less cars.
“Apple outsourcing car production to Hyundai makes sense, because (the Korean firm) is known for quality,” said Jeong Yun-woo, a former designer at Hyundai.
The South Korean company is set to introduce its first EV, Ioniq 5, built on a dedicated platform. Hyundai and its Kia unit are together planning to launch up to 23 new EV models and aim to sell 1 million units by 2025.

Pocketnow Daily: Samsung Galaxy S21 & S21+ Might Disappoint? (video)
It's only fair to share...
Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 2, Apple’s 27-inch iMac and more on sale today
Let’s begin today’s official news with deals. The year is about to end, but those Samsung trade-in seem like if they’re here to stay. If you’ve been watching us you probably are familiar with them but, that Galaxy Z Fold 2 for $999 continues to be a huge steal for our phone of the year. The Galaxy Note 20 Series is still starting at $450 for the regular model and at $750 for the Ultra. The S20 Series starts at $350 for the S20+, going up to $550 for the Ultra. But again, you need an eligible device to trade-in for all of these. Moving on, the OnePlus 7T is currently $250 off its regular price, leaving it at $349. You can also get the OnePlus 8T for $749 and they’ll give you a 7T for $99 along with it which is a pretty crazy deal. Finally, if you’re in the market for an iMac, the latest 27in model is $100 off, leaving the Intel Core i5, 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage model for $1399, We have other deals on more iMacs, Beats headphones and more in the links below.
OPPO Find X3 could feature a custom-made Sony IMX789 lens
Let’s move on to OPPO as, we’re getting somewhat close to the release of the OPPO Find X3 and we know that one of the main things the company plans to focus on is the camera. According to a new leaks from Weibo, OPPO is working with Sony on a custom chip, the Sony IMX789, which we could see on the Find X3 Series. Apparently, all flagship OPPO models will come with a customized sensor, with the one we mentioned previously remaining an exclusive for them. As a reference, the previous Sony IMX766 promises top-notch photography in low light conditions with a 1/1.56in sensor offering 1.0μm, taking in 63.8% more light than the 48MP IMX586. So yeah, we should expect a custom sensor that absorbs a crazy amount of light. Some of the other leaked specs include the Snapdragon 888 5G, a 6.7in display with 525ppi, a 4500 mAh battery with 65W SuperVOOC charging. And, for the camera’s we’re expecting two 50MP sensors, probably including the one we mentioned before.
OnePlus 9 leak reveals major battery and charging technology upgrades
OnePlus is also getting ready to launch their 9 Series as, multiple reports hint that we’ll be getting it earlier in the year, some time in March. We’re expecting 3 devices so far, the OnePlus 9, 9 Pro and even a Lite variant. Well, according to a new report from 91Mobiles, the regular OnePlus 9 will finally get wireless charging support as well as reverse wireless charging. Did I already say finally? IF you remember, earlier this year, the 8 Pro brought this feature but, both the 8T and the 8 missed out but, it looks like the company wants to even things out, only leaving out the Lite variant. Older leaks hint that the OnePlus 9 will bring a flat 6.55in FHD+, OLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate, it’ll be powered by the Snapdragon 888 5G, 8GB of RAM and it’ll probably start at 128GB of storage. When it comes to the cameras, it’ll apparently bring 2 48MP shooters, with some rumors hinting that we may even get a 50MP sensor from Leica. Wait what, Leica? Could it be that OnePlus is finally gonna fix the one thing they still can’t get right?
12.9-inch iPad Pro with mini-LED display might launch in Q1 2021
Let’s move on to Apple for a couple of segments, as aggressiveness seems to be part of their 2021 too. Let’s start with iPads as we’ve been covering a ton, and I mean a ton of mini-LED iPad rumors and leaks and it looks like we’re finally closing in on getting the actual products. According to a new report from DigiTimes, Apple has diversified their supply chain for displays and touch panels as, BOE has finally received approval to supply OLED for iPhones and integrated touch modules for mini-LED backlit panels for the 12.9in iPad Pro which according to them, will launch in the first quarter of 2021. So if you think about it, Ming Chi Kuo mentioned in one of his research notes that these new mini-LED iPads would begin production in Q4 of 2020 which goes along with this new report from DigiTimes. So yeah, we’re expecting these new iPads in the first half of 2021, most likely in Q1, and they are rumored to bring 5G support as well. Apple is reportedly preparing 6 devices with mini-LED displays but this iPad might be the first one.
Apple might take until 2027 to launch its ambitious car: Kuo
Let’s keep talking about Apple but this time, the Apple Car, which many could argue was anything but true until all the news that happened last week. It definitely looked like Apple was hard at work to get this car out but, this new report makes a lot more sense and it gives us a better time line. According to a new research note from Ming Chi Kuo, this car will be launched sometime between 2025 and 2027 the earliest. To quote Kuo, “we predicted that the car would launch between 2023-2025 but, their latest survey indicates that the current development schedule for the Apple Car is not clear, and if the development actually starts this year and everything goes well, 2025-2027 would be the earliest”. This is apparently due to some changes in the EV and Self-Driving market and Apple’s quality standards, with Kuo saying that he wouldn’t be surprised if it drops until 2028 or later. Last week we heard from Reuters that Apple is already contacting suppliers and that might be true but apparently they’re just beginning this process. And it’s still not clear if we’ll get a self-driving car, or a regular passenger vehicle like the report mentioned last week. We’ll see how the rumors develop over these upcoming years.
Story of the day:
Samsung Galaxy S21 and S21+ leak bares all the key specifications and features
Samsung Galaxy S21 series goes up on pre-order in the US
And finally, the Galaxy S21 Series continues to be the hottest topic around as we’re getting really close to the launch. So far, most leaks have focused on the Ultra but now we get some more information on the more affordable siblings. We have a new detailed breakdown from WinFuture of the Galaxy S21 and S21+’s specs. Starting with the S21, it’ll rock a 6.2in FHD+ flat display, which will be 120Hz capable, with Gorilla Glass 7 on top, a downgrade when compared to the QHD+ panels on the S20 Series. It’ll either be powered by the Exynos 2100 or the Snapdragon 888 5G along with 8GB of RAM, up to 256GB of storage and a 4000 mAh battery. When it comes to the S21+, it’ll bring a 6.7in AMOLED display, with the same specs as the S21 and actually less PPI. It’ll also be powered by the Snapdragon 888 or the Exynos 2100, same amount of RAM and same storage but, here we get a 4800 mAh battery. Now, when it comes to the cameras we’re expecting a triple camera module, with a 12MP primary, a 12MP ultra wide and a 64MP telephoto with 3x hybrid zoom. Both of these phones will be 5G capable, IP68 certified and will bring a 10MP selfie shooter. And, speaking of the fact that we’re getting close to the launch date, a new report from XDA reveals that the S21 Series is available for pre-order registrations through the Samsung website. Giving you a good amount of money in trade-in credit. For the Ultra’s specs we’ll link one of the previous Daily’s up here, make sure to check that out.

OnePlus 9 Lite rocking the Snapdragon 865 SoC to debut alongside the OnePlus 9 duo: Report
For a couple of years now, we’ve been hearing that OnePlus might be working on a “Lite” variant with watered down specs to go along with their flagships but, all we’ve gotten is the Nord Series, which is kind of its own separate lineup. Well, according to a new Android Central report, OnePlus will be debuting a OnePlus 9 Lite along with the OnePlus 9 and 9 Pro, making this the second major shift in their core strategy. The report claims that the 9 Lite will be powered by the Snapdragon 865, unlike the flagship variants which will most likely pack an 888 5G. Sadly, this is the only information we have at the moment as the design elements and the rest of the specs are still under wraps, however, the report does mention that it will pack 3-4 cameras in the back. We’ll see what we get as, this will most likely be a competitor to phones like the Galaxy S20 FE, at least when it comes to price… and let’s be real, Snapdragon 865 is no lite smartphone.
In ‘Privacy vs Business’ war with Apple, Facebook faces criticism from within
For the hilarious news today, let’s talk about Facebook and their latest privacy debacle as they’ve been attacking Apple on news papers cause it seems that not even Facebook trusts the impact of their own social network. In case you missed it, Facebook has put out a set of ads on big newspapers saying they’re Apple is the bad guy in blocking them from tracking your information and that they are the good guys trying to protect small business. Wait, it gets more ridiculous. Buzzfeed News just recovered multiple comments from Facebook employees that actually feel like we feel about the campaign. Just to mention a couple, one employee said: “it feels like we’re trying to justify doing a bad thing by hiding behind people with a sympathetic message”. Someone else said that people at the top might as well say something like “People are better off if they don’t know what we’re doing, if we don’t have to explain ourselves, people don’t get to opt out”. Of course we’re not trying to take things out of context but, it’s just crazy and funny how your own employees are calling out your hypocritical practices. We’ll see what eventually happens as, if Facebook doesn’t agree to Apple’s practices they will be taken out of the App Store.
Apple could give us a gaming-focused Apple TV in 2021
Let’s move on to Apple for a couple of segments, starting with one of the products that we kind of thought we were getting this year, a new Apple TV. According to a new Bloomberg report, Apple has a new Apple TV coming in 2021 with some changes. Mark Gurman claims that Apple is planning an “upgraded box” with a stronger gaming focus, with an updated remote and a new processor. Some of the changes will fix the 2015 Apple TV box issues, but Apple wants to take another big leap to keep the Apple TV competitive in the long haul. Some of the changes which were previously reported by Bloomberg include integration for the Find My app, for you to find the remote easily in case you lose it often. Other reports claim that it will be powered by the A14, allowing you to run Apple Arcade games that wouldn’t be available on the current Apple TVs. So yeah, we’re expecting it to drop some time next year, let us know if you’re excited for it in the comments.
Apple might finally start building its own car in 2024, claims bombshell Reuters report
Let’s talk about Apple again and.. Cars, yeah. For years, and I mean years, we’ve been hearing that Apple is working on a car, maybe a self-driving one but, these new rumors make it sound like this thing will actually happen. According to a new report form Reuters, Apple’s car plans are back on track and the company is actually targeting “2024 to produce a passenger vehicle that could include their own breakthrough battery technology”. Just to expand on that, this new battery design claims to be more space-efficient, offering an increase in vehicle change, and it’s also apparently “radically” cheap. Cupertino is actually experimenting with other battery technologies that companies like Tesla are exploring as well. As a fun fact, Elon Musk actually chipped in saying how their battery technology is going, and adding that he actually offered to sell Tesla to Tim Cook when they were struggling but Tim wouldn’t take the meeting. However, none of this is set in stone just yet, Reuters does mention that due to pandemic-related issues, production could be pushed until 2025 or beyond. Apple still has a long way to go until production even though they have reportedly got in touch with suppliers for different source parts. There’s also the chance that they might scrap this “passenger” vehicle again and focus on a self-driving system. So yeah, this thing has been trending a lot but, let us know if you guys are interested in an Apple Car?
Story of the day:
Samsung Galaxy S21 Ultra will offer S Pen stylus support, confirms FCC listing
And finally for the hottest news today, yes, once again, let’s talk Galaxy S21 as it’s clearly the hottest topic as of yet. This year has been weird for Galaxy S leaks as, we were hearing that the Galaxy Note could disappear to focus on foldables and that the S Pen is coming to the S Line. Well, the Galaxy S21 Ultra just went through an FCC certification which means we’re actually very close to the launch, and it reveals some interesting things. First off, we get the official model number but, the certification mentions that “The EUT can also be used with a stylus device (S Pen) and that it also operates with the S Pen in two different inductive coupling modes of S Pen motion detection. This most likely means that you can use it as a regular stylus and of course with Samsung’s motion features. The database also reveals support for Wi-Fi 6E, as well as UWB technology. The leaks for the S21 Ultra also include the Snapdragon 888 5G or the Exynos 2100, up to 12GB of RAM and up to 512GB of storage. We’re also supposed to be getting 4 cameras at the back that include a 108MP main sensor, a 12MP ultra wide, a 10MP telephoto with 3x zoom and another 10MP telephoto with 10x optical zoom. With a rumored starting price at around $1250 that might actually be higher but, back to the S Pen.
