AdvertisementApple has increasingly used its own silicon chips in its devices in recent years. Apple says it has a "secret weapon" in its approach to making the chips that power many of its devices. The company also benefits from making chips strictly for its own use rather than being a traditional chip-maker that sells to other companies, Millet said. Apple's newest Macs are based on Apple's latest silicon chips, the M4 line. AdvertisementMillet said Apple silicon takes advantage of "three major components, the architecture, the design, and the process technology."

Investors should not jump to offload Apple (AAPL) shares because of a handful of cautious reports ahead of this week's quarterly results. Jim Cramer points out that this has been happening since the first iPhone was released in 2007 and even before that. Even in high-conviction stocks like Apple, we do the homework to constantly test our investment thesis against new developments. "It's a classic negative piece on the company that crystalizes the 'hate Apple trade' that's been going on," Cramer wrote in his Top 10 Things to Watch Tuesday. As a subscriber to the CNBC Investing Club with Jim Cramer, you will receive a trade alert before Jim makes a trade.

☆ Apple's Mac market share jumped even though PC sales fell for the sixth consecutive quarter

Apple saw a sharp uptick in global PC market share for the second quarter of 2023, recovering from weak delivery numbers in the preceding period, according to data from IDC. The news comes amid a broadly weakening PC market. Apple's Mac computers now account for 8.6% of global market share, as the company shipped 5.3 million Mac units in the second quarter alone. That number is still markedly down relative to the quarter a year ago, which had 4.8 million Mac shipments total. It's a decline mirrored by the broader market, which experienced a total fall of 13.4% in PC shipments year over year, from 71.1 million units to 61.6 million units, according to IDC.

The M2 Ultra, which will power the new computer, is up to three times faster than the speediest Intel-based Mac Pro. At Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference on Monday, Jennifer Munn, director of engineering program management, called the M2 Ultra "a monster of a chip." Apple launched its initial computer chip, the M1, in 2020. Apple silicon is "a different kind of competition," former Intel executive Gregory Bryant said at a 2021 Evercore conference. The Mac Pro containing the new chip will come with 192 GB of memory, Apple said.

☆ Woman puzzled by $200 pet fee — to have a fish — while apartment hunting in Kansas City; policy says 'no aggressive breeds' of fish are allowed
▼ + stars: | 2023-02-04 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

A St. Louis woman discovered a rather odd pet policy regarding fish while apartment hunting. According to the listing, a pet fish is allowed for a one-time fee of $200, and a monthly "pet rent" of $15, but there's strictly "no aggressive breeds" permitted. Her fellow TikTokers poked fun at the $200 fee for a fish and the restrictions against potentially aggressive fish breeds. Resource site Aquarium Source describes Oscar fish as aggressive bullies who "will attack and eat any vulnerable fish." Others shared their own stories of being charged hundreds for one fish as part of a pet policy.

Apple also announced an update to its Mac mini computer with support for the M2 or M2 Pro chips.

☆ Why Apple may finally be embracing touchscreen laptops
▼ + stars: | 2023-01-12 | by ( Samantha Murphy Kelly | ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +3 min

On Wednesday, Bloomberg reported Apple engineers are developing a touchscreen for the MacBook Pro with an expected launch date of 2025, citing unnamed sources familiar with the matter. While it’s unclear if the touchscreen laptop will see the light of day, introducing the product could accomplish two important things for Apple: adapting to shifting consumer expectations and supercharging sales for its Mac product line. Apple has previously kept the touchscreen away from its Mac lineup to prevent it from cannibalizing iPad sales. Now, however, Apple could use a Mac touchscreen to incentivize consumers to upgrade their computers and keep Mac sales momentum growing. When asked at a conference last fall if Apple will add a touchscreen to Macs, Federighi responded: “Who’s to say?”

☆ Here's what major analysts expect out of Apple earnings later this week
▼ + stars: | 2022-07-25 | by ( Samantha Subin | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +3 min

Apple is set to report earnings Thursday, and some analysts covering the company expect the tech giant to show further proof of why it remains a "good hiding place" in this volatile market. But while the Mac producer grappled with a slowing economy and major supplier shutdowns in the previous quarter , analysts believe that Apple remains a safe-haven behemoth well-positioned to perform better than its peers. While trouble may lie ahead for Apple, Chatterjee expects the downside — and risks to estimates —to "be fairly limited." That said, the company remains a high-quality name to buy on any pullback in its stock, according to Huberty. And, despite a bullish longer-term outlook on Apple compared to its competitors, many analysts expect a cautious outlook from the technology company — if provided — ahead.

(grafic) Cât costă producția unui iPhone 12 Pro în comparație cu prețul său de peste 30 000 de leiUn iPhone 12 Pro (capacitatea de memorie de 512 GB) se vinde la un preț de peste 30 000 de lei. Experții de la Fomalhaut Techno Solutions au desfăcut un iPhone 12 Pro de 512 GB ca să vadă ce piese are și cât valorează acestea. Ecranul de pe iPhone 12 Pro nu este cea mai scumpă componentă. În timp ce iPhone 12 Pro ajunge pe la 8 300 de lei în producție și costă 20 400 de lei în magazinele Apple, un iPhone 12 standard costă 17 000 de lei la raft în magazinele Apple și are un cost de producție de 7 630 de lei. Un alt lucru interesant este însă faptul că iPhone 12 nu este produs cu foarte multe componente din China.
