US iPhones: ‘Made in India’, built in China

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-12-23 05:16:47

Apple may say that most iPhones sold in the U.S. are now assembled in India, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Apple has reduced its reliance on China. Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains. For the last two quarters, Apple CEO Tim Cook has noted that iPhones sold in the U.S. are sourced from India. The move, of course, allows Apple to avoid those pesky Trump tariffs on products exported from China and sold in the United States. Responding to a technically tru

Yes, you need a firewall on Linux - here's why and which to use

zdnet.com Jack Wallen 2025-12-24 05:18:36

JuSun/Getty ZDNET's key takeaways Linux is highly secure, but you should still have a firewall. You should know if your ISP's hardware (gateway) uses a firewall. One of the easiest Linux firewalls is UFW and its GUI sidekick, GUFW. I've been using Linux for nearly 30 years. Over those years, I've experienced only one security issue (a rootkit on a server I inherited). The reason for that is Linux's heightened security. Out of the box, it includes a tight permissions system and security mech

Nvidia's set to regain some China access. But it still faces eroding AI chip market share

cnbc.com Dylan Butts 2025-12-25 08:43:15

Nvidia 's H20 chips are likely to return to China, but tech experts don't expect them to be met with the same fanfare in the market in light of new competition and regulatory scrutiny. The Trump administration last month gave Nvidia assurances that it would be permitted to resume sales of its H20 chips to China, after their exports had been effectively banned in April. It also announced a new "fully compliant" made-for-China chip. The move was seen as a huge win for the company, which had flag
