Apple likely to cut iPhone 13 production due to chip crunch - Bloomberg News
13 Sept 08:40Key points summarised by AI
Apple plans to slash iPhone 13 production by up to 10 million units, down from an anticipated 90 million, due to the persistent global chip shortage.
The production cut stems from component delivery struggles faced by key chip suppliers such as Broadcom Inc and Texas Instruments.
Following the news, Apple's shares experienced a slight decline, alongside those of the affected chip suppliers.
Despite the reported cuts, some analysts suggest iPhone 13 sales remain strong, viewing the adjustment as a potential part of Apple's standard post-launch order refinement.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
19 Oct 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
