According to South China Morning Post, Apple is expanding its smart home manufacturing capabilities in Vietnam, entrusting Chinese company BYD with final

Buffett's full divestment from BYD aims more at avoiding the "uncertainty in the industry's transformation period" than simply reducing his stake to zero.

BYD, known for its electric vehicles, will handle the final assembly, testing and packaging of Apple’s new home devices.

Over the weekend BYD introduced a refreshed Han, increasing the battery range of the DM-I (PHEV) to 245 km (152 mi), almost doubling the battery range. More than many early BEV’s and enough range to cover typical weekly usage with a couple of charges. In addition, fuel efficiency once the battery is depleted increased to 3.44 l/100 km (68 mpg). On the BEV Han, range increased to 635 km (394 mi) on mainstream models and 705 km (438 mi) on the top spec, up from 605 km and 701 km on previous models.While new product was being launched, China announced significant regulatory changes: in order to qualify for the purchase tax  exemption, PHEVs would need to have a range of at least 100 km (62 mi) and BEVs would have to meet stricter efficiency targets. Several other regulatory announcements, particularly around pricing, and product announcements were also made over the weekend, with more anticipated. Looking at product and regulation together helps to illustrate BYD's overall position in the changing Chinese market, with implications that extend beyond their borders.

Tesla put up a fight and unleashed a strong third-quarter delivery result, but BYD might continue speeding ahead for the rest of 2025.

The Song Plus, the only model in BYD's Ocean series named after a Chinese dynasty, is being replaced by the Sealion 06.

BYD’s Song Plus SUV will exit production in China, as the Sealion 06 becomes its designated successor in the Ocean Network.

From January to July 2025, China’s passenger vehicle exports reflected a global landscape defined by diversification, electrification, and deeper regional integration.

Last year, the company achieved nearly 600 million in revenue but suffered a loss exceeding 200 million.
