　　Many insiders commented that Apple had made a great deal, which is to invest $1 billion in Didi Chuxing, Uber's rival in China. Apple's massive funding contribution is the largest single investment Didi has received, reports Reuters.

　　According to Apple CEO Tim Cook, the company hopes to gain insight on the sometimes complex Chinese market, an area of great importance to future growth.

　　"We are making the investment for a number of strategic reasons, including a chance to learn more about certain segments of the China market," Cook said. "Of course, we believe it will deliver a strong return for our invested capital over time as well."

　　The announcement was also reported by The Information's Amir Efrati, who disclosed the development in a tweet.

　　Didi currently offers a variety of transportation services in China, including taxi and private car hailing, designated drivers and peer-to-peer products like ride-sharing. In February, The Wall Street Journal reported the Chinese firm was looking to raise a total of $1 billion from investors in a bid to compete against global ride sharing technology powerhouse Uber.

　　Whereas Uber dominates in established Western markets, Didi controls China, facilitating more than 11 million rides each day. That includes a more than 87 percent share of the private car hailing market. Both companies rely on apps as a main mode of connecting passengers with drivers.

　　"That is what we do today in the car business, so we will have to see what the future holds," Cook said.
