Apple Ships 3 Bln iPhones
Apple announced that it has shipped its three billionth iPhone. Tim Cook announced the news during a call for the company's third-quarter earnings.
The company released the first iPhone in 2007 and sold its billionth iPhone in 2016.
So, the audience can guess that the company has shipped its two billionth sometime in 2021, and now, only four years later, it has reached the new milestone.
Apple's CEO said the iPhone enjoyed a double-digit growth in the third quarter and that the company earned $94 billion in revenue, up 10 percent year over year.
Apple expert Mark Gurman suggested that iPhone sales over the past quarter were driven by people who bought one out of fear that the device would be out of their reach in the future due to Trump's tariffs.
Apple is set to announce its next iPhone models in the coming weeks, probably in September.

Egyptian Critics Join 2025 Golden Globes Voting Panel
Egyptian film critics and cultural figures are joining the voting panel for the 2025 Golden Globes, marking a rare moment of representation in one of the world's most influential film award bodies. Aug 04, 2025 Egypt will have a stronger presence than ever at the 82nd Golden Globe Awards, with eight Egyptian critics and cultural figures joining the official voting panel. The newly appointed members include film critic Hosam Fahmy, an active voice in the Arab Cinema Center's Critics Awards. Also serving as voters are TV host, actor, and producer Mico Saad; journalist and editor Moetaz Elshafey; writer and critic Mohamed Hashem A. Tawfik; journalist and critic Mohamed Abdelgalil; film critic Wael Khairy; journalist Ramy Nawar; and Yasmine Shihata, founder and CEO of Enigma Magazine. The Golden Globes are among the most closely watched film and television awards worldwide. While Egypt has long played a central role in Arab cinema, its influence in shaping award outcomes in the West has historically been minimal. The inclusion of Egyptian voices on the panel reflects a growing international recognition of regional critics and cultural commentators. The 2025 Golden Globe Awards will take place on January 5th.

Markets Reverse Course as August Begins - Middle East Business News and Information
By Daniela Sabin Hathorn, senior market analyst at The month of August has opened with a notable reversal in global financial markets. Echoing similar moves seen in 2024, investor sentiment has turned swiftly in response to disappointing U.S. jobs data, rising trade tensions, and renewed expectations of monetary easing. Weak U.S. Jobs Data Shifts Sentiment The latest U.S. labour market data revealed a significant slowdown in job creation, compounded by downward revisions to previous months. This undercut assumptions of resilience in the U.S. economy and ignited fears that growth is losing momentum. In response, markets are now pricing in two Federal Reserve rate cuts before year-end, with an estimated 100 to 140 basis points of easing through 2026. Expectations for a September cut have firmed, despite the Fed's neutral tone at last week's FOMC meeting. Market reaction was swift: equities dropped, gold rallied, Treasury yields declined, and the U.S. dollar weakened. Safe-haven demand has increased, with gold regaining momentum after recent stagnation. Tariff Shock Amplifies Economic Risks The expiration of the August 1 trade deal deadline has added another layer of concern. Average U.S. import tariffs are now expected to rise to nearly 18%, after a series of partial deals failed to sufficiently lower the trade barriers. Notable developments include: 25% tariffs on India, in part as retaliation for Russian oil purchases. 35% tariffs on Canada, though mitigated by USMCA carve-outs. A 15% base tariff on surplus-running countries and 10% on others. These changes, effective from August 7, compound existing price pressures. Last week's PCE inflation data came in hotter than expected, suggesting that the inflationary pass-through from tariffs is beginning to materialize. While the Fed's December projection of 3.1% core PCE inflation leaves some wiggle room, the elevated tariff burden could force a revaluation of both growth and inflation trajectories. Earnings Season Solid, But Not Stellar Although corporate earnings have been broadly robust, especially outside of Big Tech, they haven't been extraordinary. Markets had rallied on strong earnings and economic resilience but were arguably overextended. The sudden influx of negative data has exposed fragile sentiment. Despite the downturn, Monday opened with a rebound attempt in global equities, suggesting ongoing dip-buying interest. European and Japanese indices, as well as U.S. futures, pointed higher, indicating that investors are still willing to take positions on pullbacks. Adding to market nerves, President Trump reportedly dismissed the head of the Bureau of Labor Statistics, accusing her of politically motivated data manipulation. This introduces fresh political risk, particularly as tensions between the Trump administration and the Federal Reserve resurface. Bank of England Preview: A Tough Balancing Act Attention now shifts to the Bank of England (BoE), which meets this Thursday. A 25bps rate cut is widely expected, placing the BoE squarely between the ECB and the Fed in terms of policy stance. The UK economy faces slow growth and sticky services inflation. Labour market weakness is starting to emerge, increasing the risk of stagflation. The vote split will be closely watched, especially for signs that some Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) members are pushing for a 50bps cut. The BoE faces structural economic challenges that rate cuts may not fully address. A Bloomberg report noted that while deposit rates have dropped, the mortgage market structure has delayed relief for households. Savers are feeling the pinch, but borrowers have yet to benefit from lower rates. Looking Ahead: Markets remain fragile and reactive to headline risk. With limited U.S. data this week, focus will stay on: The application of new U.S. tariffs on August 7 Remaining corporate earnings reports BoE policy messaging and vote split Although the fundamental economic outlook remains uncertain, one thing is clear: investor sentiment is no longer unshakable. Traders will need to navigate a complex mix of macro risks, political drama, and central bank recalibrations as the second half of the year unfolds.

Jordan sees tourism slump over Israeli war in Gaza - Region
Jordan has seen a decrease in the number of tourists visiting its famed ancient city of Petra and other sites since the Israeli war in Gaza began in October 2023, according to officials. Although Jordan does not border the Gaza Strip, it has been among several countries across the region impacted by the Israeli war on Gaza. Figures released by the Petra Development and Tourism Region Authority and reported Monday by the official Al-Mamlaka TV showed the number of visitors dropped by around 61 percent from 1,174,137 in 2023 to 457,215 last year. "We feel the repercussions of the aggression on Gaza every day, especially for providers of tourism services," Abdul Razzaq Arabiyat, the director of the national tourism board, told Al-Mamlaka on Friday. He said incoming tourism from Europe and North America has hit a record low, dealing a devastating blow to the hotel industry and tour operators around Petra, in Jordan's south. According to figures from the Petra tourism authority carried by official media, 32 hotels have had to shut down and nearly 700 people have lost their jobs. Petra, famous for its stunning temples hewn from rose-pink cliff faces, is a UN World Heritage site. The Jordanian economy relies on revenues from the kingdom's tourism sector, which accounts for 14 percent of gross domestic product. Follow us on: Facebook Instagram Whatsapp Short link:
