On the 16th, Apple CEO Tim Cook, who was visiting in China, said during the talks that he will increase investment in China in the future and plans to establish the first independent R&D center in China by the end of 2016. This will also become Apple. An important part of the global R&D layout.
Subsequently, in the statement released by Apple Inc. on this matter today, it did not mention the specific location and amount of investment of the R&D center. It only obscurely talked about the approximate completion time being “later in the yearâ€. In addition, the function of the R&D center is simply stated as follows: In order to create a product more suitable for Chinese users, and to strengthen cooperation with local partners and universities.
Lei Feng network (search "Lei Feng network" public concern) then searched on the Apple recruitment page in China's recruitment job, found that most of the information released on August 17 is sales, finance, operations And technical service class. There are few posts about R&D, including both hardware R&D and software R&D, including iOS performance enhancements, Mac system software engineers, and iPad firmware engineers. Friends who are interested in taking a look at themselves can stamp: Website links .
I don't know if these positions are related to the upcoming R&D center in China. However, according to analysis by industry insiders and information disclosed in Apple’s statement, it is not difficult to guess that the Apple China R&D center to be built by the end of the year will play the following major roles: :
1. Responsible for the localization of Apple products, and provide guidance for localization tilt in product design and R&D.
2. Recruit high-end talents from Chinese universities and research institutes to play a role in Apple's talent pooling.
3. Cooperation with China's emerging technology companies will play a key role in the introduction of relevant technologies and in-depth cooperation.
4. It plays a role in the management and maintenance of Apple's servers in China for product sales and operations in China.
According to records, this is Tim Cook's 9th visit to China and only a short period of 3 months has elapsed since the last time. Such high-frequency visits, the upcoming R&D centers in China, all indicate the importance of the Chinese market. This is undoubtedly a good thing for China's vast "fruit powder" group and up to more than 1.5 million iOS developers.
