Why it matters
Platform, chip and AI decisions set the terms other companies have to build on, so a single announcement here tends to ripple through products, supply chains and regulation.
What to watch next
- Availability, pricing and rollout regions
- Independent testing or verification of the claims made
- Responses from regulators and competing platforms
