If you're thinking about buying a smartphone, now's the time to start shopping around. The technology research firm International Data Corporation has lowered its smartphone shipment growth forecast to 0.6% year-over-year because of economic challenges. One of the big reasons cited is the Trump Administration's tariffs. In February, IDC predicted 2.3% growth for the year but that was before Trump's tariffs, which put extra charges on items imported from other countries, especially China. The ID

In a recent interview with Wired , Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared his vision for the future of smartphones. He thinks we’re headed towards a world where apps will become obsolete. Pei imagines that a few years down the line, smartphones will make do with just one app — the OS. This intelligent system would understand the user’s needs and context, and automatically deliver what they want, eliminating the need to manually navigate multiple apps. In the future, the entire phone will only have one ap

At one point, he has a tiny model of a plane that he’s named “Spruce Moose,” and he wants to fly it with Smithers. Of course, Smithers says the plane is only a toy, so they can’t get into it, much less fly it. Mr. Burns, deadly serious, pulls a gun on Smithers and says, “Hop. In.” Smithers, bewil

To say that Apple has been struggling in the Chinese market is an understatement. Including the most recent fiscal quarter, in which the company reported a 2% year-over-year revenue drop in the country, Apple has seen its numbers stay in the green for only three of the last twelve fiscal quarters. That includes an 11% drop in Q1 2025 and a whopping 13% drop in Q1 2024. When it comes to the smartphone market, however, Apple isn’t the only non-Chinese company that’s been having it rough. Governm
