Apple unveils its latest range of devices but will its latest range of devices but will it be enough to beat the competition . Battery powered porsche sports cars electric models makes its frankfurt motor show debut. Good morning, asia, hello, world. It is a wednesday. Glad you could join us for this midweek edition of Asia Business report. I im rico hizon. We start off with apple because the Technology Giant has just unveiled its newest devices at its headquarters in california. But this year, the threat of new tariffs loomed over the companys Product Launch event. And even without that, some say apple is not innovating fast enough. To justify its some say apple is not innovating fast enough. Tojustify its high prices. We were there to get up close with all the products. This is the iphone 11 pro which is the more expensive version of the new set of iphones. This one is the max version, the bigger version, of the three. You were noticed, compared to the iphone 11, there are three camera lenses on this rather than just two on the other and the extra lens is the telephoto lens which means you can get much closer images than you would without having to actually move yourself. What does that look like . Let me show you. This is the shot. This is the ultra wide angle. You can see we get plenty of the image. Then we can go to the wide angle lens. And then the telephoto lens gives you added soon. The crucial thing with that is there is no degradation in quality which is no degradation in quality which is important if you want nice crisp photos. Having extra cameras like this, this is not something that just apple is doing, we know that huawei, one of them mayjust competitors, major, they have released phones with a whole range of cameras as well top itll come down to the quality of software and making it as easy for people to make the most out of having these extra cameras on their device. Looking at 2019 as a whole, apple has fallen behind in camera abilities. There have been lots of pushing from the com plete have been lots of pushing from the complete market about how the camera and photography is really important. The majority of people use their phone to take photos or stop the sense from people inside the steve jobs theatre is that apple has mainly played it safe with this years product line up. Mainly played it safe with this years product line up. More broadly, there doesnt seem to be many signs yet that apple is too concerned about the trade tariffs coming from president trump. Those ta riffs coming from president trump. Those tariffs could be imposed right in the middle of the christmas period. Which is of course having a huge effect on apple. From iphones to oil and prices have edged up in recent weeks as saudi arabias new Energy Minister said 0pec, the cartel of Oil Producing nations, will stick with its 1. 2 Million Barrels a day Production Cut was not the kingdom has plenty of reasons to keep the price higher, not least the unprecedented sale of shares in the largest oil company. That has plans to sell around 5 of the firm appearing to be edging forward. Last week, aramco announced that its Energy Minister would step down as its chairman in order to put its business between business and politics. Earlier, iasked business between business and politics. Earlier, i asked what signs they have been that aramcos ipo will actually go ahead for top the big changes we have seen over the big changes we have seen over the past ten days. The big changes we have seen, the Energy Minister, most recently. Add a new chair of aramco. That is the separation between the Energy Ministry and aramco was seen as a key step before listing the company publicly. What will the process be like for this whole ipo process when it hits one Global Stock Exchange . It has been a complex process so far. It has suffered a few delays and there has been speculation around it that it may not even happen. Now that it is finally happening, i think even after the day, i wouldnt be surprised that it is still evolving. Based on the latest reliable reports, it seems like they may be looking at a domestic data on the exchange was up it will help them test the waters a little bit and then go for an international listing. And international listing. And international listing, you have the likes of london and hong kong with the brexit and the process. Protest. Looks like it could be tokyo. New york was another big one. The bill that keeps coming up, they dont take a very good view of cartel as asian and they got enveloped in that. Cartelisation to stop it looks like it could be tokyo. How could this impact prices . It is of limited interest to the international and domestic invested community but the world at large, Oil Producing and consuming, is all of us, is really focusing on what this means for the saudi leadership of 0pec but cuts that are putting the floor on the prices right now. By all indications and the new Energy Minister articulated this as well, the policies remaining the same for top so saudi arabia took a dramatic about turn, in 2016, it said were going to the reins on supply, keep the market balance, and that will continue. As we were discussing earlier on newsday, we were expecting a Cabinet Reshuffle in japan this wednesday. My colleague mariko 0i is following developments and it appears taking a look at the least, it seems like trade issues are basically implement make impacting these changes will stop element as we sat on newsday, the official announcement is not till this afternoon. As we sat on newsday. But it does appear that trade issues like the traits but with south korea and as well as a trade negotiations with the united states, played a role. For example, this is the current foreign minister on the left and he has been quite vocalin on the left and he has been quite vocal in the trade spat with south korea. When it was first reported that he would not stay in the job, people actually started a hashtag on twitter, saying keep him as the foreign minister because they thought it might send the wrong signal to the neighbouring country where we have been seeing a lot of boycotting of japanese products, where we have been seeing a lot of boycotting ofjapanese products, as you can see. And that maybe he is being punished for not being of not being able to solve the problems. But he is becoming the new defence minister so i guess that could be seen as a promotion. And we have this guy on the right, said to be hisjudgement have this guy on the right, said to be his judgement promoted for his successful trade talks with the united states. We will see if those appointments will be confirmed later today. I will be waiting for that announcement. Thank you, mariko 0i. Not so long ago, Battery Powered vehicles were widely derided as a slow and sluggish with very limited range. Not anymore. Slow and sluggish with very limited range. Notanymore. It slow and sluggish with very limited range. Not anymore. It is fair to say tesla changed that with its High Performance cars. Now porsche hasjoined High Performance cars. Now porsche has joined the party. High performance cars. Now porsche hasjoined the party. It High Performance cars. Now porsche has joined the party. It is High Performance cars. Now porsche hasjoined the party. It is proudly displaying its new model at the car show. We have been speaking to porsches chief executive 0liver bloomer. Blume. Porsches chief executive 0liver bloomer. Blume. We have decided to go Battery Powered because it suits us for the acceleration and on the other side, our goal of our company strategy, sustainability. To combine both of this, it was a very clear decision to go to electric. Combine both of this, it was a very clear decision to go to electricm isa clear decision to go to electricm is a radical step for a company which has traditionally focused on very meaty real wheel sports cars that have evolved over the years. Very meaty real wheel sports cars that have evolved over the yearsm is seeming radical and a step in the right direction. When you look back, we we re right direction. When you look back, we were coming from the racetrack. For example, we had our winner three times ina for example, we had our winner three times in a row and we already used electro mobility and we always engineered innovations on the racetrack to put them on the road. So it was logical consequence to do that. And in future, and that is our product strategy, we will continue with petrol engines and now this is going to be flexible and sustainable for the next decade. But there is a problem here, it costs more to make electric cars, therefore they are less profitable to build. You are right. 0nly less profitable to build. You are right. Only the material costs are much higher than normal combustion ca rs. Much higher than normal combustion cars. We think that electric cars will be part of the future. And so, with our company, we have to tackle them and therefore we decided to make a Profit Improvement programme two years ago to improve our processes , two years ago to improve our processes, to watch our costs and to look for new Business Models in order to compensate this higher cost stop that is the situation of today but in future there is much more potential to reduce costs also in electro mobility. That was oliver blume speaking at the frankfurt motor show. Lets look at the asia pacific market and how they are faring in mid morning trade. Virtually unchanged since yesterdays announcements for top there is lower optimism on the global economy. Thank you for investing your time with us.
