Successful sales of the Mate XT tri-fold smartphone, which began pre-orders on Saturday, would be another indication of the company’s sustained resurgence. It also comes after Chinese smartphone makers dominated the top five spots domestically on a quarterly basis for the first time ever, she said, pushing Apple to sixth place. “The close timing of Huawei and Apple’s product launches signals the start of a new competitive wave in the Chinese premium market,” Liu told CNN. Apple said that generative AI, like ChatGPT, on its iPhone 16 would allow users to create text and images with natural-language prompts. Last year, it launched an electric sedan to take on Tesla’s Model S. And it has big ambitions in AI.

But let's say you're 30 years old and haven't started stashing money away; you may have difficulty getting there. And as a result of this, if you're going to live during a 30 or 40 year retirement. In Edelman's opinion, you're late to the game if you're over 25 and haven't started saving and investing. When people do set money aside, it's often in the wrong places, such as bank savings, money market accounts, and government bonds, Edelman said. All of this might sound complicated for a beginner, but diversification can be achieved through exchange-traded funds (ETFs), Edelman noted.

REUTERS/Brendan McDermid/File Photo Acquire Licensing RightsNEW YORK, Sept 15 (Reuters) - Newly publicly traded company Arm Holdings is poised to be added to popular indexes such as the tech-heavy Nasdaq 100, although inclusion in the S&P 500 is unlikely, analysts said. Shares of the British chip designer closed up 24.7% in their Nasdaq debut on Thursday, giving it a market value of $65 billion. “The Nasdaq 100 is the most likely widely followed index for the company to get added into,” said Todd Rosenbluth, Head of Research at VettaFi. However, inclusion in the Nasdaq 100 may take time for Arm shares. Inclusion of Arm shares in the S&P 500, which is the standard benchmark for the U.S. stock market, is far less certain, analysts said.

Судно Hyperion Ray, принадлежащее израильской Ray Shipping company и выполняющее рейсы под флагом Багамских Островов, было атаковано вблизи побережья Объединенных Арабских Эмиратов (ОАЭ). По данным «Аль-Маядин», израильская сторона заявила, что судно было атаковано иранской ракетой, предположительно, запущенной с иранского беспилотника или другого судна. Уточняется, что это нападение могло стать ответом Тегерана на недавний теракт на ядерном объекте в иранском Натанзе, к которому, как утверждается, были причастны израильские спецслужбы. 11 апреля на ядерном объекте по обогащению урана в Натанзе произошла авария. Как сообщало израильское радио KAN со ссылкой на анонимные источники в разведке, причиной аварии стала кибератака израильской спецслужбы «Моссад».
