Steves thinks that a car might make sense eventually, but he is more intrigued by the idea that Apple could dip its toe into the cryptocurrency markets.“When we look at Apple as an ecosystem player we note that the firm has industry-leading software, security and a 1.5B installed base [of hardware devices],” he wrote in a research note.In its recent December-quarter earnings announcement, Apple disclosed that the installed base of iPhones alone is now above 1 billion.Steves agrees that an electric car could be a long-term opportunity, but he cautioned that competing with Tesla is a higher-risk proposition, which is likely to require more than $10 billion in research and development costs. He sees a better opportunity in leveragingApple Wallet, software on every iPhone that is used to manage Apple Pay, airline and event tickets, and other items.Were Apple to enter the crypto-exchange business, Steves said, they would “immediately gain market share and disrupt the industry.” He noted that Square (SQ) generates about $1.6 billion a quarter from Bitcoin-related revenue on an installed base of about 30 million.Apple, he said, has an installed base of more than 1.5 billion. If you assume 200 million users transact, he said, that would be 6.7 times the size of Square. On that basis, he concluded that the opportunity for Apple could be more than $40 billion a year, potentially boosting the top line by about 15%.And Steves said the “best part” is that the required R&D cost “would be de minimis,” pointing out that Square’s entire R&D budget is under $1 billion. “Net Net: fundamentals at Apple remain secure with a cash flowing business related to iPhones, peripherals, computers and services,” he wrote. “However, the firm could unlock a multi-billion dollar opportunity with a few clicks while investing into next generation chips as well.”He also says a move by Apple to buy $1 billion of Bitcoin would boost interest in Apple Exchange, or whatever the theoretical cryptocurrency-trading venue would be called. “Where would the price of bitcoin go if Apple purchase the asset?” he wrote. “Likely up.”The note arrived the same day thatTesla announced it has purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, and that it would start accepting the currency for payments.

Apple stock&nbsp;was up 0.1% to $136.91.<blockquote>这是由加拿大皇家银行资本(RBC Capital)分析师米奇·史蒂夫斯(Mitch Steves)提供的，他周一对苹果股票给予了跑赢大盘的评级，将该公司的股价目标从154美元上调至171美元。苹果股价上涨0.1%，至136.91美元。</blockquote>The hot topic on Apple lately has been speculation that the company is nearing a deal with Hyundai on creating anApple Car(or maybe an iCar, MacCar, or Jobsmobile.) Steves thinks that a car might make sense eventually, but he is more intrigued by the idea that Apple could dip its toe into the cryptocurrency markets.<blockquote>最近苹果上的热门话题是猜测该公司即将与现代汽车就制造苹果汽车（或者iCar、MacCar或Jobsmobile）达成协议。史蒂夫斯认为汽车最终可能会有意义，但他更感兴趣的是苹果可能涉足加密货币市场的想法。</blockquote>“When we look at Apple as an ecosystem player we note that the firm has industry-leading software, security and a 1.5B installed base [of hardware devices],” he wrote in a research note.In its recent December-quarter earnings announcement, Apple disclosed that the installed base of iPhones alone is now above 1 billion.<blockquote>“当我们将苹果视为生态系统参与者时，我们注意到该公司拥有行业领先的软件、安全性和1.5 B的[硬件设备]安装基础，”他在一份研究报告中写道。苹果在最近的12月季度财报中透露，仅iPhone的安装量就超过了10亿部。</blockquote>Steves agrees that an electric car could be a long-term opportunity, but he cautioned that competing with Tesla is a higher-risk proposition, which is likely to require more than $10 billion in research and development costs. He sees a better opportunity in leveragingApple Wallet, software on every iPhone that is used to manage Apple Pay, airline and event tickets, and other items.<blockquote>Steves同意电动汽车可能是一个长期机会，但他警告说，与特斯拉竞争是一个风险更高的命题，可能需要超过100亿美元的研发成本。他看到了利用Apple Wallet的更好机会，Apple Wallet是每部iPhone上用于管理苹果支付、机票和活动门票以及其他项目的软件。</blockquote>Were Apple to enter the crypto-exchange business, Steves said, they would “immediately gain market share and disrupt the industry.” He noted that Square (SQ) generates about $1.6 billion a quarter from Bitcoin-related revenue on an installed base of about 30 million.<blockquote>史蒂夫斯表示，如果苹果进入加密货币交易业务，他们将“立即获得市场份额并颠覆该行业”。他指出，Square(SQ)每季度从比特币相关收入中产生约16亿美元，安装基数约为3000万。</blockquote>Apple, he said, has an installed base of more than 1.5 billion. If you assume 200 million users transact, he said, that would be 6.7 times the size of Square. On that basis, he concluded that the opportunity for Apple could be more than $40 billion a year, potentially boosting the top line by about 15%.<blockquote>他说，苹果的装机容量超过15亿。他说，如果假设有2亿用户进行交易，那么这将是Square规模的6.7倍。在此基础上，他得出结论，苹果每年的机会可能超过400亿美元，有可能将营收提高约15%。</blockquote>And Steves said the “best part” is that the required R&amp;D cost “would be de minimis,” pointing out that Square’s entire R&amp;D budget is under $1 billion. “Net Net: fundamentals at Apple remain secure with a cash flowing business related to iPhones, peripherals, computers and services,” he wrote. “However, the firm could unlock a multi-billion dollar opportunity with a few clicks while investing into next generation chips as well.”<blockquote>Steves表示，“最好的部分”是所需的研发成本“将是微乎其微的”，并指出Square的整个研发预算不到10亿美元。他写道：“净净：苹果的基本面仍然稳固，与iPhone、外围设备、电脑和服务相关的现金流业务。”“然而，该公司只需点击几下鼠标就可以释放数十亿美元的机会，同时投资下一代芯片。”</blockquote>He also says a move by Apple to buy $1 billion of Bitcoin would boost interest in Apple Exchange, or whatever the theoretical cryptocurrency-trading venue would be called. “Where would the price of bitcoin go if Apple purchase the asset?” he wrote. “Likely up.”<blockquote>他还表示，苹果购买10亿美元比特币的举动将提高人们对苹果交易所或任何理论上的加密货币交易场所的兴趣。“如果苹果购买该资产，比特币的价格会走向何方？”他写道。“可能会涨。”</blockquote>The note arrived the same day thatTesla announced it has purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, and that it would start accepting the currency for payments.

On that basis, he concluded that the opportunity for Apple could be more than $40 billion a year, potentially boosting the top line by about 15%.<blockquote>他说，苹果的装机容量超过15亿。他说，如果假设有2亿用户进行交易，那么这将是Square规模的6.7倍。在此基础上，他得出结论，苹果每年的机会可能超过400亿美元，有可能将营收提高约15%。</blockquote>And Steves said the “best part” is that the required R&amp;D cost “would be de minimis,” pointing out that Square’s entire R&amp;D budget is under $1 billion. “Net Net: fundamentals at Apple remain secure with a cash flowing business related to iPhones, peripherals, computers and services,” he wrote. “However, the firm could unlock a multi-billion dollar opportunity with a few clicks while investing into next generation chips as well.”<blockquote>Steves表示，“最好的部分”是所需的研发成本“将是微乎其微的”，并指出Square的整个研发预算不到10亿美元。他写道：“净净：苹果的基本面仍然稳固，与iPhone、外围设备、电脑和服务相关的现金流业务。”“然而，该公司只需点击几下鼠标就可以释放数十亿美元的机会，同时投资下一代芯片。”</blockquote>He also says a move by Apple to buy $1 billion of Bitcoin would boost interest in Apple Exchange, or whatever the theoretical cryptocurrency-trading venue would be called. “Where would the price of bitcoin go if Apple purchase the asset?” he wrote. “Likely up.”<blockquote>他还表示，苹果购买10亿美元比特币的举动将提高人们对苹果交易所或任何理论上的加密货币交易场所的兴趣。“如果苹果购买该资产，比特币的价格会走向何方？”他写道。“可能会涨。”</blockquote>The note arrived the same day thatTesla announced it has purchased $1.5 billion in Bitcoin, and that it would start accepting the currency for payments. Bitcoin was up 12.8%, to $43,037 on the Tesla news. Imagine what would happen if Apple jumped into the fray.<blockquote>这张纸条发出的同一天，特斯拉宣布已购买15亿美元的比特币股票，并将开始接受该货币进行支付。受特斯拉消息影响，比特币股价上涨12.8%，至43,037美元。想象一下，如果苹果加入战斗会发生什么。</blockquote>","source":"lsy1601382232898","collect":0,"html":"<!DOCTYPE html>\n<html>\n<head>\n<meta http-equiv=\"Content-Type\" content=\"text/html; charset=utf-8\" />\n<meta name=\"viewport\" content=\"width=device-width,initial-scale=1.0,minimum-scale=1.0,maximum-scale=1.0,user-scalable=no\"/>\n<meta name=\"format-detection\" content=\"telephone=no,email=no,address=no\" />\n<title>Forget About Cars.

Apple stock&nbsp;was up 0.1% to $136.91.<blockquote>这是由加拿大皇家银行资本(RBC Capital)分析师米奇·史蒂夫斯(Mitch Steves)提供的，他周一对苹果股票给予了跑赢大盘的评级，将该公司的股价目标从154美元上调至171美元。苹果股价上涨0.1%，至136.91美元。</blockquote>The hot topic on Apple lately has been speculation that the company is nearing a deal with Hyundai on creating anApple Car(or maybe an iCar, MacCar, or Jobsmobile.) Steves thinks that a car might make sense eventually, but he is more intrigued by the idea that Apple could dip its toe into the cryptocurrency markets.<blockquote>最近苹果上的热门话题是猜测该公司即将与现代汽车就制造苹果汽车（或者iCar、MacCar或Jobsmobile）达成协议。史蒂夫斯认为汽车最终可能会有意义，但他更感兴趣的是苹果可能涉足加密货币市场的想法。</blockquote>“When we look at Apple as an ecosystem player we note that the firm has industry-leading software, security and a 1.5B installed base [of hardware devices],” he wrote in a research note.In its recent December-quarter earnings announcement, Apple disclosed that the installed base of iPhones alone is now above 1 billion.<blockquote>“当我们将苹果视为生态系统参与者时，我们注意到该公司拥有行业领先的软件、安全性和1.5 B的[硬件设备]安装基础，”他在一份研究报告中写道。苹果在最近的12月季度财报中透露，仅iPhone的安装量就超过了10亿部。</blockquote>Steves agrees that an electric car could be a long-term opportunity, but he cautioned that competing with Tesla is a higher-risk proposition, which is likely to require more than $10 billion in research and development costs.
