Apple iPhone 17 Release Date: New Clue Revealed In Latest Leak

Last month, I assessed exactly when the next iPhone series, would go on sale. Now, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg has had his say. Happily, it's along the same lines, so perhaps we can begin to be confident when the iPhone will land. Apple iPhone 16: when will the iPhone 17 go on sale, exactly? In the latest edition of his Power On newsletter, Gurman seeks to answer the question: 'When will Apple hold its iPhone 17 launch event?' Although he went into much less detail than my report (and I admit it, brevity is the soul of wit), he lighted on similar dates. 'The company usually unveils its new iPhones the week after Labor Day. If that holds — and there's no reason to believe it won't — you can pencil in the keynote for the week of Sept. 8,' he began. This continues to make sense to me: the week before would be when the large-scale electronics trade show IFA takes place in Berlin and it's already thought that there will be some big announcements there. Apple won't want to share the spotlight with the myriad other brands popping up in Berlin. 'In the past, Apple has typically favored Tuesdays, but there have been some exceptions in recent years,' Gurman goes on. He's referring to the fact that last year's event, against most people's expectations, including his, was held on a Monday. I'm quietly delighted that I did report the right date in advance. Forgive me a moment of glee, please. 'So it could be that Monday (the 8th), though I suspect the 9th or 10th is probably more likely. Apple never holds events on Fridays, so you can rule out the 12th, and it has avoided launching new products on Sept. 11,' Gurman concludes. This is the new information here. I had only briefly considered the Monday, but Gurman is giving it more credence. However, we both think that Tuesday 9 or Wednesday 10 are more likely. As I said before, my money is on the keynote happening on Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific in the Steve Jobs Theater in Cupertino. Gurman only talks about the keynote, but when will the onsale date be? I still think the iPhone 17 series will go on sale on Friday, Sept.19.

Nvidia CEO to hold media briefing in Beijing this week

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang will hold a media briefing in Beijing on Wednesday, an official from the company said on Sunday, marking his second visit to the country after a trip in April where he stressed the importance of the Chinese market. Since 2022, the U.S. government has imposed restrictions on the export of Nvidia's most advanced chips to China, citing concerns over potential military applications. The U.S. also imposed a ban earlier this year on sales of Nvidia's H20 artificial intelligence chips to the country — which had been Nvidia's most powerful AI chip cleared for Chinese sales. Nvidia CEOI Jenson Huang in Paris last month. Getty Images Huang's latest visit has been closely-watched in both the U.S. and China. A bipartisan pair of U.S. senators on Friday sent a letter to Huang about his China trip, asking him to abstain from meeting with companies that are working with military or intelligence bodies in the People's Republic of China. The senators also asked Huang to refrain from meeting with entities named on the U.S.' restricted export list. China generated $17 billion in revenue for Nvidia in the fiscal year ended Jan. 26, accounting for 13% of the company's total sales, based on its latest annual report. Huang has consistently highlighted China as a critical market for Nvidia's growth. Nvidia's market value topped $4 trillion for the first time last week. AFP via Getty Images Nvidia has faced increased competition from Chinese tech giant Huawei and other makers of graphics processing units — the chips used to train artificial intelligence. But Chinese companies, including its big tech firms, still crave Nvidia chips due to the company's computing platform known as CUDA. Nvidia's market value topped $4 trillion for the first time last week, solidifying the chipmaker's position as Wall Street's central player in a race to dominate AI technology.

Here is what the fund said: 'Our preference for stable cash flow companies led to additional outperformance in the sector, with heavy overweights to Texas Instruments Incorporated (NASDAQ:TXN) and Motorola Solutions (MSI) benefiting relative returns. Texas Instruments has been on a multi-year business transition, investing heavily in semiconductor manufacturing facilities which are based in the U.S. Domestic facilities combined with general industrial end market weakness has kept the company from experiencing the same excitement as many of the other semiconductor companies.'
