These are the details of the secret partnership between 'Apple' and 'Byd' to develop batteries

Apple has been working with the Chinese auto industry company for years as part of a car production project, a canceled project, and has developed long -term batteries that help establish the basis for technology used today, according to people who are familiar with the matter. The people who asked not to disclose their identities because the efforts were made were not revealed that ‘Apple’ and ‘Byd’, based in the church, worked together in 2017 to build a battery system using lithium iron phosphate cells. This technology is designed to be longer and safer than traditional electric motor batteries at the time. Although “Apple” has no technology used in the current blade batteries of “bed”, it shows the extent to which the “iPhone” maker has been made in its efforts to manufacture a car. The technology giant has spent almost a billion dollars on the car project over the past decade, commonly seen as one of the ‘next big things’ of the company, before its abolition in February. According to the people, the technology developed by ‘Apple’ in collaboration with ‘Byd’ would have been very committed to the car planned to produce. As part of this secret collaboration, Apple Engineers offered their experiences with the design of advanced batteries and heat management. On the other hand, “bye” presented its knowledge of manufacturing and its capabilities in the use of lithium iron oblong cells, which are known for its durability and high performance. A spokesperson for the two companies refused to comment on joint collaboration in batteries development, but “atdy” said in a statement via email that “the concept of a battery (blade) arose by the engineers of the atds who developed this battery independently. (BYD) Maintain all intellectual property rights and patents of this battery. ‘Currently, the group of “Byd” cars is entirely dependent on the “Blade” system, which uses a design of the batteries based on the lessons learned from collaboration with “Apple”, according to people participating in its development. The seed of collaboration between the two companies was planted about a decade ago when the US technology company sought basic technologies for its car project. Attorneys have submitted initial copies of the BLID battery to the CEO of Apple, who admired the battery capabilities in terms of safety and energy storage. According to well -known people, Apple has requested awards that can improve the extent of the electric car. During this period, Apple, based in Cubino, California, worked on different types of batteries, including the dependent on nickel and alkaline, and millions of dollars invested in the design of the battery packs and engineer to increase the number of cells in the maximum. The two parties tried to integrate their efforts to develop a long -term secure battery package for the “Apple”. The collaboration of Apple Alexander Hitzinger, a former Volkswagen executive and ‘Porsche’, led, while supervising the design of the car project between 2016 and 2019. Apple also used a miracle of Miracle, one of the veterans of the failed batteries, A123 Systems, which worked in Apple from 2014 to 2020. “Byd”, the cooperation Michael, is the deputy head of the battery sector in the business. The BLID battery is now one of the most important benefits in BYD cars, and this is an important point in the sale. The company used the improved battery, its relative safety and its low cost to achieve 3 million electric and hybrid cars in 2023, compared to 179.054 cars only three years ago. Towd is now the largest car industry in China in terms of sales, and has surpassed a short period of “Tesla” to become the largest seller of electric cars worldwide. The founder and president of the company, Wang Chawanfo, a battery engineer, has become a billionaire thanks to this success. Despite the years that worked with “ate”, Apple moved away from the partnership and began studying batteries from other companies, according to people. The car project has suffered many delays, and the economic challenges of the electric auto industry have proven to be very complicated. When Apple canceled the car project, it was a rare and prominent failure of the world’s most valuable business. But this project, which lasted a decade, led in other ways. Apple has benefited from the experiences gained in the development of products such as Vision Pro and the neural engine, which is now found in most of its devices. Work has also contributed to the emerging efforts in the field of robot devices.
