It’s the first time Apple’s fiscal year revenue has dropped since 2019 when sales fell by 2%. Although Apple's revenue in the latest quarter deceased 1% from last year to $89.5 billion, its profit rose 11% to $22.96 billion, or $1.46 per share. To help juice its revenue, Apple has been raising some of its prices. In a bright spot, Apple's iPhone sales climbed 3% to $43.8 billion — a sign the company's latest models are being well received heading into the holiday shopping season. Apple’s service division also turned in a robust quarter with revenue of $22.31 billion, a 16% increase from last year.

Huawei posted revenues of 456.6 billion yuan ($62.4 billion)for the first three quarters of the year, up 2.4% from a year earlier. In contrast to the modest rise in revenue, profit rose 177.8% in the period to 73.05 billion yuan, according to Reuters calculations. For the third quarter, revenue rose 1.5% to 145.7 billion yuan, according to Reuters calculations. Counterpoint said Huawei ranked as the sixth-largest smartphone brand in China during the quarter with a share of 12.9%, up from 9.1% from the same period a year ago. However, the Huawei spokesperson attributed the third-quarter revenue growth to increases in the digital power, cloud and auto parts businesses, while the Mate 60 series was released relatively late in the quarter.

Taiwan Economy Minister Wang Mei-hua said the ministry would be looking into whether the firms' activities in China "matched up" with their initial investment approval from the island's government. A Bloomberg news report this week said the firms had been working with Huawei-connected firms to build infrastructure for chip plants. The companies - Topco Scientific (5434.TW), L&K Engineering (6139.TW), United Integrated Services (2404.TW) and Cica-Huntek Chemical Technology Taiwan (6725.TWO) - have all denied any wrongdoing. Wang also said Taiwan's government will soon unveil tighter rules on "key technologies", taking into account international practice, she added, without giving details. China claims Taiwan as its own territory and has in recent years increased its military activities around the island.

HONG KONG (AP) — Taiwan authorities are investigating four Taiwan-based companies suspected of helping China’s Huawei Technologies to build semiconductor facilities. Political Cartoons View All 1202 ImagesThe companies could be fined up to 25 million Taiwan dollars ($777,665) for violating regulations. Cleanrooms and other high-tech equipment and services are crucial for the delicate process of making computer chips. But Wang reminded companies that if they used U.S. technology and equipment they would not be able to co-operate with firms included in the U.S. U.S. officials say the company is a security risk and might facilitate Chinese spying, an accusation that Huawei denies.

At issue is RISC-V, pronounced "risk five," an open-source technology that competes with costly proprietary technology from British semiconductor and software design company Arm Holdings (O9Ty.F). RISC-V can be used as a key ingredient for anything from a smartphone chip to advanced processors for artificial intelligence. The RISC-V technology came from labs at the University of California, Berkeley, and later benefited from funding by the Pentagon's Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA). Its executives said in August they believe RISC-V will speed up chip innovation and transform the tech industry. Jack Kang, vice president of business development at SiFive, a Santa Clara, California-based startup using RISC-V, said potential U.S. government restrictions on American companies regarding RISC-V would be a "tremendous tragedy."

☆ EU to assess tech security risks and consider controls
▼ + stars: | 2023-10-03 | by ( ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

The European Commission said on Tuesday it had established a list of four technologies, as well a further six to look into later, as part of the European Economic Security Strategy it unveiled in June. The Commission stresses that it must first carry out a risk assessment with the EU's 27 members and consulting companies before determining any measures. "The risk assessment will be country agnostic, but we will take into account geopolitical factors to determine how severe those risks are," an EU official said. In advanced semiconductor technologies, areas of focus include microelectronics and chip-making equipment, in AI data analytics and object recognition, and for quantum cryptography, communications and sensing. The EU has previously carried out an assessment of the security of its 5G networks, which has led some EU countries to restrict use of equipment made by China's Huawei and ZTE.

KUALA LUMPUR, Sept 27 (Reuters) - Malaysia Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim said on Wednesday a switch to having a dual 5G network would allow for more effective participation by China's Huawei, providing his country with a balance of both Western and Eastern technology. Anwar on Wednesday acknowledged concerns from some countries over the "security and capacity" of technology stemming from China, but said the decision to allow a second 5G network was made so that Malaysia could benefit from different technologies. "After extensive discussion... we made the decision to allow for a dual network, and thus the decision for more effective participation by Huawei." State-run DNB partnered with Swedish telecoms giant Ericsson to roll out Malaysia's 5G network. It is unclear how Malaysia's plan for a second network would affect DNB's agreement with Ericsson or other mobile operators.

Huawei used its own chip designs for its new 5G smartphone, The FT reported. It's a sign that the Chinese firm can implement its own designs in the same way as Apple. Huawei's phone led to panic in Washington amid fears over the effectiveness of China's export controls. The findings suggest a significant step forward in technical capabilities for Huawei as it begins to implement its own chip designs in smartphones in much the same way Western smartphone makers such as Apple have done for years. There are questions, though, about how successful Huawei would be in scaling the production of smartphones with advanced chips.
