Apple CEO Tim Cook confirms: Majority of new iPhones sold in the US are 'made' in India; while Vietnam is the location for ...
Apple CEO Tim Cook said that most iPhones sold in the US during last quarter i.e. Q2 were made in India, despite President Donald Trump's repeated criticism of Apple's manufacturing shift. Speaking after Apple's quarterly results on July 31, Cook said India has now become the main hub for iPhone production for the US market, while China is focusing more on non-US regions. 'In terms of the country of origin, it's the same as I referenced last quarter. There hasn't been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the US or the majority, I should say, have a country of origin of India,' Tim Cook told analysts. For other Apple products like MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches, Vietnam has become the primary manufacturing base for US demand. 'The products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China,' the Apple CEO stated Trump's objection to iPhone manufacturing in India Donald Trump has been vocal in his opposition to Apple making iPhones in India for American consumers. During his visit to Doha in May this year, Trump said, 'I had a little problem with Tim Cook… I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good… but now I hear you are building all over India. I don't want you building in India.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Buy Resmed AirSense 11 with flat 20% off ResMed Buy Now Undo Last week, he announced a 25% tariff on imports from India.

Apple sees record revenue iPhone growth in India Tim Cook's comments underline Apple's strong focus on India, not just as a production base but also as a growing market. He said that Apple is seeing record revenue growth in India, especially from iPhone sales. 'We saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil,' Cook said. Globally, Apple reported a 10% increase in quarterly revenues, reaching $94 billion. Cook said India was among more than two dozen countries where Apple achieved record revenues in the June quarter. During the analyst call, Tim Cook revealed Apple's plans to expand its retail footprint in India by opening more physical stores. Apple CEO Tim Cook on tariff impact Commenting on the global impact of US tariffs, Tim Cook said the situation is still evolving. 'For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs. For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies, and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs,' Cook explained. He added that these estimates could change depending on future tariff policies.

‘I feel useless': ChatGPT-5 is so smart, it has spooked Sam Altman, the man who started the AI boom
OpenAI is on the verge of releasing GPT-5 , the most powerful model it has ever built. But its CEO, Sam Altman , isn't celebrating just yet. Instead, he's sounding the alarm. In a revealing podcast appearance on This Past Weekend with Theo Von, Altman admitted that testing the model left him shaken. 'It feels very fast,' he said. 'There are moments in the history of science, where you have a group of scientists look at their creation and just say, you know: 'What have we done?''

They were about consequences. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Are you ready to conquer a planet? Undo 'What have we done?': Sam Altman Altman compared the development of GPT-5 to the Manhattan Project — the World War II effort that led to the first atomic bomb. The message was clear: speed and capability are growing faster than our ability to think through what they actually mean. He continued, 'Maybe it's great, maybe it's bad—but what have we done?' Live Events This wasn't just about AI as a tool. Altman was questioning whether humanity is moving so fast that it can no longer understand — or control — what it builds. 'It feels like there are no adults in the room,' he added, suggesting that regulation is far behind the pace of innovation. A big leap from ChatGPT-4 Exact specs for GPT-5 are still under wraps, but reports suggest significant leaps over GPT-4: better multi-step reasoning, longer memory, and sharper multimodal capabilities. Altman himself didn't hold back about the previous version, saying, 'GPT-4 is the dumbest model any of you will ever have to use again, by a lot.' For many users, GPT-4 was already advanced. If GPT-5 lives up to the internal hype, it could change how people work, create, and think. In another recent conversation, Altman described a moment where GPT-5 answered a complex question he couldn't solve himself. 'I felt like useless relative to the AI,' he admitted. 'It was really hard, but the AI just did it like that.' AGI: The endgame or a marketing hook? OpenAI's long-term goal has always been Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). That's AI capable of understanding and reasoning across almost any task — human-like intelligence. Altman once downplayed its arrival, suggesting it would 'whoosh by with surprisingly little societal impact.' Now, he's sounding far less sure. If GPT-5 is a real step toward AGI, the absence of a global framework to govern it could be dangerous. AGI remains loosely defined. Some firms treat it as a technical milestone. Others see it as a $100 billion opportunity, as Microsoft 's partnership contract with OpenAI implies. Either way, the next model may blur the line between AI that helps and AI that acts. Internal tensions and external pressure OpenAI isn't just facing ethical dilemmas. It's also under financial pressure. Investors are pushing for the firm to transition into a for-profit entity by the end of the year. Microsoft, which has invested $13.5 billion in OpenAI, reportedly wants more control. There are whispers that OpenAI could declare AGI early in order to exit its agreement with Microsoft — a move that would shift the power balance in the AI sector dramatically. Microsoft insiders have reportedly described their wait-and-watch approach as the 'nuclear option.' In response, OpenAI is said to be prepared to go to court, accusing Microsoft of anti-competitive behaviour. One rumoured trigger could be the release of an AI coding agent so capable it surpasses a human programmer — something GPT-5 might be edging towards. Altman, meanwhile, has tried to lower expectations about rollout glitches. Posting on X, he said, 'We have a ton of stuff to launch over the next couple of months — new models, products, features, and more. Please bear with us through some probable hiccups and capacity crunches.' Fraudsters are already using AI to exploit public systems While researchers and CEOs debate long-term AI impacts, one threat is already here: fraud. Haywood Talcove, CEO of the Government Group at LexisNexis Risk Solutions, works with over 9,000 public agencies. He says the AI fraud crisis is not approaching — it's already happening. 'Every week, AI-generated fraud is siphoning millions from public benefit systems, disaster relief funds, and unemployment programmes,' he warned. 'Criminal networks are using deepfakes , synthetic identities , and large language models to outpace outdated fraud defences — and they're winning.' During the pandemic, fraudsters exploited weaknesses to steal hundreds of billions in unemployment benefits. That trend has only accelerated. Today's tools are more advanced and automated, capable of filing tens of thousands of fake claims in a day. Talcove believes the AI arms race between criminals and institutions is widening. 'We may soon recognise a similar principle for AI that I call 'Altman's Law': every 180 days, AI capabilities double.' His call to action is blunt. 'Right now, criminals are using it better than we are. Until that changes, our most vulnerable systems and the people who depend on them will remain exposed.' Not everyone is convinced by Altman's remarks. Some see them as clever marketing. But his past record and unfiltered tone suggest genuine concern. GPT-5 might be OpenAI's most ambitious release yet. It could also be a signpost for the world to stop, look around, and ask itself what kind of intelligence it really wants to build — and how much control it's willing to give up.

Law with digital leap must speak every language: Justice Surya Kant
NEW DELHI: 'Ka adhikaar baa hamaar jab malik paisa na de?'This is exactly what a labourer from Bihar will ask a phone download App, which will soon be readied by, to get free legal assistance to lawfully deal with a contractor denying him his just wages. This pioneering effort to create an App to reach free legal aid to every person, from tribals to labourers to craftsmen in the hinterlands, was revealed on Saturday by Justice Surya Kant, Supreme Court Judge and National Legal Services Authority (NALSA) chairperson. Delivering a lecture in memory of former CJI R C Lahoti at Manav Rachna University, Justice Kant said given the mobile phone penetration to the nook and corner of the country, said the mobile App under development would offer step-by-step guidance in every schedule language using voice, video and text and answer fundamental legal queries, explain rights and entitlements and connect the needy to lawyers and paralegal volunteers. 'The challenge before us is not simply about bridging a technological divide. It is about combining the best of our technological ingenuity with the enduring values of human empathy, procedural fairness, and social solidarity. Each digital leap must draw us closer to the soul of the law - a law that speaks in every tongue, answers every call, and bends always toward justice,' he said. Justice Kant said multilingual digital platforms in the legal field could be of immense help if the AI is used ethically and transparently with supervision. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Free P2,000 GCash eGift UnionBank Credit Card Apply Now 'Guided conversations, through legal aid chatbots, can help citizens articulate their issues clearly, identify relevant rights, and generate basic petitions in local languages. Accordingly, the systems can quickly determine whether litigants qualify for free legal aid, reducing paperwork, discretion, and possible delays,' he said. Proposing to involve law students, young advocates and retired legal professionals to provide legal advice to the poor, needy, illiterate and marginalised people free of cost through App-based direct interactions, the SC judge said this would not only exponentially expand the reach of legal guidance, but also foster a sense of shared societal responsibility for justice to all. He said In remote villages of Assam, paralegals are now using mobile phones to record testimonials of domestic violence and connect survivors to pro bono counsel in real time. In Tamil Nadu, legal aid chatbots in Tamil have been deployed to answer questions on land rights and tenancy, he said. But the success of this technology driven initiative depends on citizen's familiarity with its basics and the confidentiality and security attached to the interactions between the litigant and the legal professionals. 'As we digitise legal aid, we must design systems with built-in ethics. 'Privacy must be paramount; all platforms handling sensitive legal data must comply with rigorous data protection standards,' Justice Kant said.
