The lead marketer for&nbsp;Apple Inc.&#8216;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) Vision Pro headset,&nbsp;Frank Casanova, has retired, just months <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38136012/apple-vision-pros-immersive-content-library-to-expand-with-a-dinosaur-film-iphone-16-to-further-boos">after the headset&#8217;s launch</a> and amid a significant drop in demand.
What Happened: Casanova who departed from the tech giant last week had been with Apple for 36 years. He has played a pivotal role in the marketing of the Vision Pro headset along with helping to lead the expansion of the iPhone to new carriers, <a href="https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2024-04-24/apple-s-lead-marketer-for-new-vision-pro-headset-retires?srnd=technology-vp">reported</a>&nbsp;Bloomberg, citing his LinkedIn page. 
The Vision Pro was made available for purchase in early February with a base price of $3,499. Casanova participated in its launch at Apple&#8217;s flagship retail store in the Grove shopping mall in Los Angeles, accompanied by services chief Eddy Cue. 
Dan Riccio, the executive responsible for the development of the device, is approaching retirement.

Why It Matters: The retirement of key personnel comes at a critical time for Apple&#8217;s headset business. The Cupertino, California-based tech giant has plans to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/03/37910624/apple-sets-sight-on-china-vision-pro-headset-launching-this-year">expand its market to China</a>, a move confirmed by CEO&nbsp;Tim Cook&nbsp;last month, in a video shared on a CCTV account on Weibo.
However, the demand for the Vision Pro has reportedly&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38397921/apple-in-trouble-tim-cook-reportedly-cuts-vision-pro-shipment-forecasts-by-up-to-50">fallen sharply</a>, leading to a significant drop in shipment forecasts. This has forced Apple to re-evaluate its headset business strategy, as noted by analyst&nbsp;Ming-Chi Kuo. The company has reportedly revised its Vision Pro shipment estimates to 400,000-450,000 units for this year, down from the initial 700,000-800,000 units.&nbsp;
Apple&#8217;s struggles in China are not limited to the headset market. The company also faced a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/24/03/37941515/apples-iphone-sales-faces-sharp-decline-in-china-amid-rising-competition">sharp decline in iPhone sales</a> in the country, with a 33% drop in February compared to the last year.

Chinese smartphone maker&nbsp;Xiaomi&nbsp;Corporation&nbsp;(OTC:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XIACY#OTC">XIACY</a>) has reportedly secured 75,723 orders for its SU7 electric sedan as of April 24, aiming to deliver over 10,000 units in June.
The delivery&nbsp;target,&nbsp;revealed during an event at the Beijing auto show, sets a record for an electric vehicle (EV) startup, reported Reuters.
The locked-in orders, representing those with non-refundable deposits, have accumulated within a month of the SU7&#8217;s late March launch, the report added.
Xiaomi eyes over 100,000 SU7 deliveries in 2024, with a commitment to keep its automotive business exclusively focused on the Chinese market for the next three years.

The report further noted the company expedited deliveries of the standard and Max versions of the SU7 to April 18, 12 days ahead of schedule. Plans for Pro model deliveries&nbsp;are set&nbsp;for late May.
The SU7&#8217;s debut, borrowing design elements from Porsche, ignites a price competition in China&#8217;s EV market, undercutting&nbsp;Tesla Inc&#8217;s&nbsp;(NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Model 3 pricing.
Why It Matters: Xiaomi, established in 2010, has built a reputation for high-quality, reasonably priced smartphones. With the SU7, the company aims to replicate this success in the EV industry.
The entire&nbsp;range of&nbsp;the&nbsp;vehicle&nbsp;is expected&nbsp;to&nbsp;be priced&nbsp;between&nbsp;<a target="_blank" href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/asia/24/01/36838267/latest-tesla-china-rival-xiaomis-first-ev-may-not-be-so-cheap-as-expected" rel="noreferrer noopener">RMB 250,000 ($35,230) and RMB 370,000</a>.
Price Action: XIACY shares closed higher by 2.02% at $10.60&nbsp;on Wednesday.

Tesla's Latest China Rival Xiaomi Registers Record Bookings For Its EV: Report

Xpeng Inc. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/XPEV#NYSE">XPEV</a>) Vice Chairman and Co-President Brian Gu expressed his skepticism about the immediate future of <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38376273/maybe-elon-musk-hints-driverless-teslas-may-debut-in-this-us-state-but-bugs-will-take-few-months-to">self-driving taxis</a> as a lucrative business.
What Happened: Gu, speaking at the Beijing auto show, said that the commercial viability of robotaxis is at least five years away, <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/04/25/xpengs-gu-says-robotaxis-wont-be-a-real-business-for-at-least-five-years.html">reported</a> CNBC on Thursday. This timeline is notably longer than what Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk has suggested. Tesla is actively developing AI software for a robotaxi network.
&#8220;Right now it&#8217;s not something that we are considering when we are launching and planning the sales,&#8221; said Gu. Xpeng, a China-based electric car startup, has made driver-assist software a key selling point.
&#8220;To have a real, full-fledged commercial operation. I think it's more than 5 years away.&#8221;
Despite this, Gu acknowledged the interest in showcasing technology and achieving milestones in China, where companies like Baidu Inc. and Pony.ai have been authorized to charge for fully driverless taxis in certain areas.

Why It Matters: Musk has been a vocal advocate for the potential of robotaxis, despite challenges such as recent <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38373389/tesla-ceo-elon-musk-takes-swipe-at-waymo-says-cybertruck-might-be-needed-for-robotaxis-in-san-franci">vandalism incidents</a> and regulatory hurdles. He has even suggested that the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/04/38396288/teslas-robotaxi-to-be-called-cybercab-elon-musk-says-self-driving-fleet-will-be-like-combination-of">Tesla Cybertruck</a> might be necessary for robotaxis in San Francisco.
Analysts have also been weighing in on Tesla&#8217;s next-generation vehicle future, with some seeing the company as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38411281/8-tesla-analysts-size-up-next-gen-vehicles-fsd-ai-and-more-potential-to-be-a-transf">transformational technology company</a> that could deliver outsized returns.
Goldman Sachs analysts have recognized Tesla as a leader in the autonomy and Advanced Driver-Assistance Systems (ADAS) landscape, projecting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/04/38314733/teslas-autonomous-driving-efforts-win-praise-from-goldman-sachs-wall-street-firm-pr">significant long-term growth</a> from its robotaxi services.
