AI 硬件创业者，疯狂涌入手机的背面
AI hardware startups are converging on the back of smartphones: Plaud's AI recorder surpassed 2 million units shipped, reaching $100M ARR and 250M global users, while magnetic e-paper displays from Yuexingtong raised ~¥50M in Series A+ funding (Sequoia, Matrix, Boyu, Xiaohongshu) and Jizhi's passive ink-screen case sold 140K+ units (80% overseas). New entrants like Flowtica's Verso and NOOKLAB's Moonphase Flip combine recording, e-paper, and AI summaries, while giants (DingTalk, iFlytek, Honor, Hisense) and white-label makers (price dropping to ¥120 - 150) crowd the same magnetic accessory slot; competition now hinges on locking e-ink supply (E Ink controls >90% of film, new fab only in 2028) and integrating display+audio+agent features.

score
score 8 out of 10. 0-10: how dense the facts are, multiplied by how much you can do with them after reading. 8+ means the topic's evidence bar is met: benchmarks and availability for a new model, amount and investors for a funding round, revenue figures for a solo-money story. Below 5 an item does not enter the digest. A press release scores 3 or less, a reprint loses 2, anything older than 14 days loses 1, a headline that misleads loses 3.
