IDC nearly doubles worldwide smartphone forecast for 2025, cites ‘accelerated iOS growth’

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-29 05:10:54

To say 2025 has been an unpredictable year for the smartphone market would be an understatement. Early in February, IDC had forecast a 2.6% growth, followed by a decrease to just 0.6% in May. Now, the institute has once again adjusted its forecast, thanks in part to “accelerated” iOS growth. Here are the details. Tariff uncertainty now ‘just background noise’ When IDC lowered its 2025 worldwide smartphone market forecast from 2.6% to just 0.6% in late May, it cited “high uncertainty, tariff vo

Raising multiple rounds of venture capital might be wrong for your startup

techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-11-09 14:00:00

There’s a generally accepted script in Silicon Valley: Identify a startup idea. Sell a chunk of your company to raise venture capital. Make sales. Raise more venture capital, and make more sales. Repeat until the company goes public, or gets acquired, hopefully for billions either way. But what if you didn’t get on a fundraising treadmill after taking a first round? What if you structured your company to sprint to profitability through slower, sustainable growth, rather than the reverse — unpro

Colorado Residents Are Spotting Weird-Looking Rabbits With Black Horns and Mouth Tentacles

People in Fort Collins, Colorado, are seeing rabbits with black horns and tentacles that wouldn’t look out of place in a horror movie. Though frightening, their appearance is caused by a known virus that’s harmless to humans. Journalist Amanda Gilbert documented the town sightings in an article for local outlet 9NEWS last Friday.

Trump Is Undermining Trust in Official Economic Statistics. China Shows Where That Path Can Lead

wired.com Louise Matsakis 2025-11-28 02:11:17

Welcome back! Louise here. On Friday, President Trump fired one of the nation’s top economists after her agency published a disappointing jobs report. Trump claimed the numbers were “RIGGED,” but there’s no evidence that Erika McEntarfer or the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) did anything improper. The new employment data, however, suggested Trump’s policies are having a negative impact on the US economy. In the days since, Republicans have piled on, baselessly accusing McEntarfer of putting o

Job growth has slowed sharply; the question is why

news.ycombinator.com Claudia Sahm 2025-12-02 16:57:56

After an avalanche of data last week, there are more signs of a slowing economy. Real GDP rose modestly in the first half, and inflation started to drift up. The labor market was the last piece to fall in line, and it did with a bang on Friday. Job growth slowed sharply starting in May (including large downward revisions in May and June), and the unemployment rate increased in July. It’s a complicated mix of supply and demand shocks, but an unsurprising outcome given the significant policy chang

Is Ferrari a car company? The obvious answer is yes, but not according to its CEO, Benedetto Vigna, who recently described the company’s business model saying, “We are not – we are not – a car company. We are a luxury company that is also doing cars.” That’s their differentiator. Their brand. Their “schtick.” And, it works, but not because it’s a marketing ploy. It works because Ferrari backs it up with its actions. How so? By adhering to its founder Enzo Ferrari’s “scarcity dictum” that de
