〔記者王憶紅/台北報導〕2011年,宏達電(HTC)全球手機出貨逾4300萬支、市占率創下9.1%新高,一度成為美國最大的智慧型手機品牌商;2024年6月,宏達電推出HTC U24後,2年多來再無新款手機。台灣曾揚名國際的自有品牌手機,2026年底恐將正式劃下句點。

目前在台灣實體通路上,U24 Pro大容量(512GB)版本已面臨斷貨,產品生命週期進入最後倒數階段。宏達電全球業務暨行銷資深副總裁黃昭穎在今年9月時坦言,手機目前很難找到革命性的創新技術,除非有突破,否則宏達電將聚焦做好AI(人工智慧)眼鏡,而HTC U24銷售大致進入尾聲,預計賣到今年底。

請繼續往下閱讀...

早就有跡可循。宏達電2026年上半年最新財報揭露,專司智慧型手機相關投資組合的子公司「HTC Smartphone (BVI) Corp.」已於2026年2月19日正式完成解散程序;等同無聲宣告宏達電在集團架構層面上,結束了純手機業務的海外控股佈局。

宏達電公關窗口解釋,宏達電發展AI與虛擬實境生態系,手機是生態系的一環,會持續思考何種終端產品適合整個生態系,若要說宏達電告別手機市場,尚難論斷;「只是退居二線」,而目前手機人員跟AI眼鏡是同一事業部。

消費性產品更迭快速,多少手機品牌廠任憑當年義氣風光、不可一世,但稍不留意,就消失在市場中,例如2G、3G時代的諾基亞NOKIA、摩托羅拉MOTO,智慧型手機的LG、SONY等,而宏達電HTC也是其中之一。

手機代工起家的宏達電,2006年推出自有品牌HTC,且被視為智慧型手機先驅品牌,2011年全球手機出貨逾4300萬支,市占率達9.1%,創下歷史新高,且當年第三季,宏達電更一度成為美國最大的智慧型手機品牌商。

根據Interbrand(Best Global Brands)全球百大品牌資料顯示,宏達電2011年以約36億美元的品牌價值,名列全球第98名;宏達電是曾經唯一上榜的台灣企業,且至今仍是紀錄保持者。

Microsoft 365 subscription overhaul! OneDrive reduced from 6TB to 2TB, users shouted to unsubscribe

Microsoft announced adjustments to the Microsoft 365 Home Edition and Advanced Edition subscription plans, changing the OneDrive cloud storage space from 1TB per person to 2TB shared by the whole family, which is equivalent to reducing the space by two-thirds. Although the shared use of Copilot AI is also relaxed, most users are not satisfied with the disguised reduction. The new system will be applicable to existing users in May 2027.

Will iPhone 18 Pro price increase scare away Apple fans? Less than 1 month after launch, Apple reportedly cuts orders

Less than a month after Apple launched the iPhone 18 Pro series, news of order cuts was reported. Supply chain orders dropped by 15% to 20%, mainly due to sluggish buying momentum due to rising prices for new phones. At the same time, Samsung was also affected by rising memory costs, and it was reported that it would reduce production by 20% to 30% in the fourth quarter.
