Analysts say its new product launches could mark a first step in the company's come-back efforts to rival Apple. "It (Huawei) can manage the psychological expectations of the target consumer group before Apple's press conference," said Ivan Lam, an analyst at Counterpoint. Sino-U.S. friction has worsened in recent years as Washington tries to restrict China's access to key technologies including cutting-edge chip technology, and Beijing looks to reduce its reliance on American tech. The U.S. Commerce Department said late Thursday it's working to obtain more information "on the character and composition" of the new Huawei chip that may violate trade restrictions. White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters on Air Force One the U.S. government is trying to get more information about the Huawei chip.

This year, the biggest change is expected to be a USB-C charging port, replacing Apple's proprietary Lightning port, which was introduced in 2012 as the iPhone charger "for the next decade."

But ChatGPT, the latest in technology known as "large language model tools," doesn't speak with sentience and doesn't "think" the way people do. Other tech companies like Google and Meta have developed their own large language model tools, which use programs that take in human prompts and devise sophisticated responses.

Apple is planning a big upgrade to celebrate the 10th anniversary of its watch with a new device dubbed the "Watch X," according to Bloomberg. The Watch X will reportedly feature a thinner case, and designers are considering a magnetic band that is sleeker and takes up less space than the original Apple Watch bands. These changes are rather minor compared with what Apple has in store for the Watch X, which it will unveil in 2024 or 2025. But it shows that Apple knows most folks are still buying their first Apple Watch. Bloomberg had earlier said Apple is also planning a fresh version of the high-end Apple Watch Ultra, although it's unclear what might be new.
