Pivot Toward AI and Robotics

The listing comes as Apple's Chinese suppliers increasingly seek to diversify beyond smartphone components. Both Luxshare and fellow Apple supplier Lingyi iTech, which raised HK$8.3 billion ($1.1 billion) in a recent Hong Kong listing, are channeling fresh capital into AI hardware and humanoid robotics. Luxshare had contemplated a Hong Kong listing for more than a year before passing its HKEX listing hearing on June 23.thenextweb+2
