Apple should listen.
Tech giant Apple has caught the auto industry s attention over the past several weeks following reports it nearly struck a deal with Hyundai Motor Group to build the long-awaited Apple car. The South Korean automaker opted out because it did not want to become the manufacturer for a potential rival. Apple then approached Nissan but the Japanese carmaker also walked away.
Apple has not given up on its automotive dreams and last we heard it was in talks with auto parts supplier Magna, which will build the upcoming Fisker Ocean EV, about a possible deal. Apple does not manufacture its own hardware devices either but rather farms that task out to firms like Foxconn.
