苹果iPhone18机密外泄，华强北连夜赶工

[resso]

我这么说吧，台积电在，换一个企业照样设计，没有台积电，英伟达肯定没了

照样设计？这么简单你怎么不去设计一个？照谁的样？

我说过台积电不重要吗？你得好好证明英伟达怎么个不重要法，尤其是显卡水平跟英伟达没关系，是个人都能设计出相同水平的显卡

你这就是为了犟自己是对的，结果话越说越极端，路越来越窄

我这么说吧，如果华为可以和英伟达一样找台积电代工，不用多久华为芯片就和英伟达一样水平了

这都是中文圈老分类了，现在的科技行业体现了甚至决定了制造业水平，他这话题是想说制造业怎么衰落，但问题是像英伟达，AMD这些科技行业直接决定制造出产品的水平本身就是制造的一个环节

我不懂这些行业分类。为了方便交流，上面的内容是根据英文转译来的。下面是 AI 原文答复。

Shepherd's question: Which sector does Apple fall into? The manufacturing industry or else?

AI answer

Apple is not best classified as a manufacturing company, even though it designs products that are manufactured by partners.

The classification depends on the context:

• Sector (GICS): Apple Inc. is in the Information Technology (IT) sector.
• Industry (GICS): Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals.
• Business model: Apple is primarily a technology company that designs, develops, markets, and sells consumer electronics, software, and services.

Here's how it compares:

Classification System	Apple's Category
Sector	Information Technology
Industry	Technology Hardware, Storage & Peripherals
Business Type	Technology / Consumer Electronics
Manufacturing	Outsourced manufacturing (e.g., partners like Foxconn and Pegatron assemble many Apple products)

Is Apple a manufacturing company?

Not in the traditional sense. Apple:

• Designs products such as the iPhone, Mac, and iPad.
• Develops its own software (iOS, macOS) and chips (Apple Silicon).
• Controls product design, engineering, branding, and distribution.
• Outsources most physical manufacturing and assembly to contract manufacturers.

So if you're classifying Apple among broad economic sectors, the correct answer is Information Technology, not Manufacturing.
