APPLE READIES PAIR OF HEADSETS WHILE STILL LOOKING AHEAD TO GLASSES

Apple is developing two new Vision Pro headsets despite glasses being a bigger goal in the long run. The company is also preparing to overhaul iPadOS to make its tablets more like Macs. iPhones made in China have been exempted from tariffs. Apple will not move production back to the US - instead, it is going all-out on India as its US production source. It would be impossible to move iPhone manufacturing back to the US.

EXPERIMENTAL DRUG LOOKS TO BE GASTRIC BYPASS SURGERY IN PILL FORM

The popularity of GLP-1 drugs for weight loss has led to companies competing to make new and improved anti-obesity medications. Boston-based Syntis Bio has created a daily pill that mimics the effects of gastric bypass without actual surgery. The drug is designed to redirect the absorption of nutrients from the beginning of the small intestine to its end, changing how the body absorbs food and leaving people feeling fuller from eating less. Early data from animals and a small group of humans shows that the pill is safe and may be able to suppress hunger.

They can generate code written to open standards, leverage industry best practices, and deploy to open infrastructure.

WHAT'S WRONG WITH APPLE?

It's been a decade since the release of Apple's most recent commercial successes - the Apple Watch and AirPods. The company's services lag behind rivals in subscriptions and half of its sales still come from the iPhone. Vision Pro sales were disappointing, but it was the company's issues with Apple Intelligence that exposed the dysfunction within the organization. There seems to be a breakdown of leadership, communication, and internal processes at Apple.
