Investors Aren’t Buying Apple’s New iPhone

Compared with its big tech peers inflated by artificial-intelligence hype, Apple seemed to have the lowest bar to clear in the current earnings season. The world’s most valuable company still didn’t quite make it. At the very least, Apple’s fiscal fourth-quarter results late Thursday indicate that its newest iPhones aren’t off to a raging start. The company launched the iPhone 15 family during its usual window about a week before the quarter’s end in late September. iPhone revenue for the quarter rose 3% year over year to about $43.8 billion, in line with analysts’ forecasts. But that compares with a 10% gain in the previous year’s fourth quarter and a 47% surge in 2021, when the iPhone 13 family launched to surprisingly strong demand.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

Wireless Companies are Getting More Money out of Your Older Phone

U.S. wireless companies are showing they can still upsell customers in no hurry to buy a new smartphone.AT&T, T-Mobile US and Verizon Communications made more money from providing wireless services in the third quarter compared with the prior year as they added phone lines and nudged many clients toward more expensive plans. The boost in service revenue helped offset weaker equipment sales as purchases of pricey phones slowed at their stores and websites.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

For China, Bullying Apple Suppliers Could Backfire Badly

China’s surprise investigation into Apple supplier Foxconn, a key link in the iPhone supply chain, may be intended to send a message. The one Apple and its suppliers actually receive might do China more harm than good.Chinese authorities have launched tax and land-use probes into subsidiaries of Foxconn, formally known as Hon Hai Precision Industry, the company confirmed last week. That is surprising since Foxconn, which is the world’s largest contract electronics manufacturer, has long had an amicable relationship with China—and is one of the biggest employers in the country.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.

I Can Hear You Fine. Is It Rude That I’m Still Wearing AirPods?

I once heard that marriage is asking each other “What did you say?” for the rest of your lives.That’s certainly true for my husband and me. We do chores with earbuds in, listening to our respective music and podcasts. When one of us speaks up, it inevitably prompts a delayed, confused response.Copyright ©2023 Dow Jones & Company, Inc.
