☆ Taiwan says four Foxconn employees detained in China
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-10 | by ( ) edition.cnn.com time to read: +1 min

Taipei, Taiwan Reuters —Four employees of Taiwan’s Foxconn, the world’s largest iPhone assembler, have been detained in China under “quite strange” circumstances, Taiwan’s government said. The council said Foxconn had stated the company had “suffered no losses and that the four employees had done nothing to harm the company’s interests.”“This has seriously damaged the confidence of companies. Calls to China’s Taiwan Affairs Office seeking comment outside of office hours went unanswered. In June, Taiwan’s government raised its travel warning for China, telling its citizens not to go unless absolutely necessary, following a threat from Beijing to execute those deemed “diehard” Taiwan independence supporters. China claims democratically governed Taiwan as its own territory, over the strong objections of the government in Taipei.

☆ How to send satellite texts on newer iPhones if your cell service is knocked out during Hurricane Milton
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-09 | by ( Jordan Hart | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +3 min

Hurricane Milton may disrupt power and cell service in Florida. iPhone 14 and later models with iOS 18 offer satellite messaging when cell service is unavailable. Here's how to make sure your iPhone is set up to send satellite messages if Hurricane Milton topples the connectivity in your area. You can also send satellite messages via SMS to mobile numbers that aren't iPhones, but you have to message them first before their messages reach you, according to Apple's website. Still, satellite messaging can allow families to connect and let each other know they're safe during Hurricane Milton.

The iPhone 16 lacks new features and a new AI smartphone is years away, wrote analysts on Sunday. Much of the optimism surrounding Apple this year came from its June announcement of Apple Intelligence, the company's take on artificial intelligence. In Sunday's note, Lee forecasted "flattish volume growth" in the second half of 2024 for iPhone 16 compared to the iPhone 15, and only 2.5% growth in lifecycle volume for the iPhone 16. AdvertisementTo be sure, not all analysts think the delay in introducing Apple Intelligence will hurt the company. He said that he gives little credence to third-party reports of iPhone 16 sales.

☆ Foxconn beats estimates with record third-quarter revenue on AI demand
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-06 | by ( ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Taiwan's Foxconn , the world's largest contract electronics maker, beat expectations to post its highest-ever revenue for the third quarter on strong demand for artificial intelligence servers. Revenue for Apple's biggest iPhone assembler jumped 20.2% year on year to 1.85 trillion Taiwanese dollars ($57.3 billion). "The result exceeded the company's original expectations of significant growth," Foxconn said in a statement on Saturday. Strong AI server demand led to robust revenue growth for its cloud and networking products division, said Foxconn whose customers include AI chip firm Nvidia NVDA.O. It has scheduled its annual Tech Day on Oct. 8-9, an event where Foxconn normally announces new products or partnerships.

☆ As Apple enters AI race, iPhone maker turns to its army of developers for an edge

As Apple prepares Apple Intelligence to jump into Silicon Valley’s AI race, it’s relying on one of its strongest advantages: Its army of 34 million app developers. IPhone users will get their first taste of Apple Intelligence, the company’s artificial intelligence system, later this month. The company is relying on Apple Intelligence to be the strongest selling point for the iPhone 16, its latest generation of smartphones. That’s something other company’s AI chatbots cannot currently do, and to accomplish this, Apple is beckoning its army of third-party developers to fine tune their apps to collaborate with Apple Intelligence. Another drawback is that Apple Intelligence features will only be available on the latest iPhones, a small subset of the total iPhone user base.

Apple needed the iPhone 16 to be a big seller after years of sluggish iPhone sales. In particular, demand for the higher priced iPhone 16 Pro devices were down sharply year-over-year compared with the iPhone 15 launch. Analysts say there appears to have been greater demand for the lower priced iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus devices than the Pro and Pro Max, which could affect the average selling price and overall iPhone sales revenue. In the first weekend of presales, Apple sold 9.8 million iPhone 16 Pros and 17.1 million iPhone 16 Pro Max devices, down 27% and 16% year-over-year, respectively, according to Kuo. “It’s all about a monster holiday quarter and the supercycle begins for iPhone 16 in our view,” Ives told CNN in an email.

According to the analyst, the difference now is that Apple Intelligence won't come out of the box.
