Aroused all the eyeballs and tongues in the world, the most famous "fruit" is Apple. Besides having Seduced Eve and Adam making mistakes, waken up the sleeping Newton under the tree and helped him discover the Gravity, the Apple also assisted Steve Jobs to have created the stylish such as iPod, iPad, iPhone, iTV. But it has little to do with cars ever since.

When iPod was popular in the world, Apple once worked with car manufacturers, they integrated iPod to the car, but never referred to car-oriented key technology except that Mercedes-Benz recently added in the top cars of Apple's voice assistant Siri. Still, the dream never come true.

However, Tim Cook, Apple's new CEO after Steve, made people assume that the hidden “iCar” would soon come to the world when he was caught to have made a two-hour secret meeting with Ferrari president Montezemolo.

If Apple making cars, what will the auto companies act? A few years ago, those that made MP3, computer and mobile phones, according to their existing ideas, never thought they would be exceeded by the brand "Apple".

Will this happen to the automobile industry?

As king of industry, the automotive always represented the highest level of design and manufacture. In fact, the idea of getting involved in the automotive industry came to Jobs’ mind one or two years before making iPod. If not for the subsequent assets shrinkage due to the internet bubble, most possible he would have invested. It would have been un-doubtable that it would just be a matter of time that the “i”, representative of Apple, would be stamped on the car, if he did not go away.
