Apple's car project was reportedly wound down in 2024, and later reporting has suggested a possible influence on chip work; the stored evidence does not include Apple confirmation of that connection.
Multiple publications reported that Apple ended or wound down its electric-car project in February 2024. Later secondary reporting suggested that work associated with the car effort may have influenced later Apple chip development. Reports have also described a possible M7 Ultra chip and a potential memory capacity of up to 1.5TB, but the stored evidence does not include Apple documentation confirming those technical details.
