iPhone 17 launch timeline leaked, here is when Apple may launch next iPhone
The highlights of the iPhone 17 event are expected to include four variants, with a new addition rumoured: the iPhone 17 Air. The iPhone 17 Air is said to be the slimmest iPhone ever and is expected to replace the current Plus model in the lineup.In addition to the iPhone 17 range, Apple is also anticipated to unveil other products such as the Apple Watch Series 11 and updated AirPods. Historically, Apple has used its September event to introduce complementary hardware, enhancing the overall ecosystem of its devices. This strategy supports Apple's broader goal of offering a seamless, integrated experience for users. By launching multiple products together, the company also encourages consumers to upgrade their entire suite of devices, ensuring compatibility and optimal performance across the board.Mac updates expected later in the yearWhile the September event will likely focus on the iPhone and wearables, Mac-related announcements are not expected. The MacBook Pro lineup with the M5 chip is anticipated in October, with reports suggesting that major MacBook Pro updates may be delayed until early 2026.Please note that Apple has yet to officially confirm the event date, but if Apple follows the traditional launch time than fans and tech enthusiasts can mark their calendars for the week of 8 September 2025.- EndsYou May Also Like

Swedbank Profit Beats on Lower Costs as Lending Income Drops
(Bloomberg) -- Swedbank AB reported second-quarter earnings that beat analysts estimates as lower costs offset slowing income from lending and fees and commissions. Net interest income fell 10% from a year earlier, the Swedish bank said Thursday, in line with estimates. While net commissions declined more than expected, a 5.4% drop in total expenses helped offset that impact. Net income of 7.9 billion kronor ($810 million) exceeded the 7.2 billion kronor that analysts polled by Bloomberg had estimated. Like other Nordic lenders, Swedbank is trying to offset the impact of falling interests rates, after the Riksbank last month cut its policy rate to the lowest in more than two years. Market volatility, a stronger Swedish krona and geopolitical uncertainty are adding to the headwinds. Rival SEB AB reported a 12% drop in net interest income on Wednesday and Svenska Handelsbanken AB saw that metric decline 9%. Shares of Swedbank rose 2.2% at 9:05 a.m. in Stockholm, bringing gains this year to 14%. Led by Chief Executive Officer Jens Henriksson, Swedbank also continues to wait for a verdict from US authorities to end a long-running probe into its past failures in anti-money laundering and counter-terrorism financing. The lender on Wednesday appointed Martin Noreus as new chief risk officer, replacing Rolf Marquardt, who will become a senior adviser. Swedbank announced earlier in July it would buy digital mortgage credit firm Stabelo to help bolster its home-loan business, reaching younger and more digitally savvy customers.

TSMC reports record profits as AI boom fuels chip demand; Stock expected to open at all-time high
Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), the world's largest contract chipmaker, has reported record quarterly earnings as global demand for artificial intelligence (AI) chips continues to grow at an unprecedented pace. Analysts expect the company's share price to surge sharply when markets open, potentially reaching levels never seen before in TSMC's trading history. The company posted a 61 percent rise in net profit in the April–June quarter, reaching NT$398.27 billion (£9.7bn; $12.8bn), while revenue grew by 44 percent year-on-year to $30.07 billion (£23.0bn), surpassing analyst expectations. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Select a Course Category TSMC's share price rose more than 6 percent in early Thursday(July 17) trading, reaching $175.29, and is on course to hit an all-time high, buoyed by investor optimism over the AI boom and strong demand from major clients such as Nvidia, Apple, and AMD. 'The primary driver of growth for TSMC has been the robust demand for AI-related chips, particularly for the leading-edge nodes below 7nm,' said Brady Wang, Associate Director at Counterpoint Research. What's driving the growth? Live Events TSMC's results have been fuelled by two main factors: a rapid global build-out of AI infrastructure and a spike in iPhone chip orders ahead of anticipated US tariffs on Taiwanese-made semiconductors. Advanced chips manufactured on 3nm, 5nm, and 7nm process nodes made up 74 percent of the company's revenue, a reflection of growing demand for more powerful, energy-efficient processors. These chips are essential for AI systems, data centres, and high-end smartphones. High-performance computing (HPC), which includes AI and server chips, contributed 60 percent of TSMC's total revenue, a sharp increase from 52 percent a year earlier. At the same time, the 3nm segment, used in the latest iPhones, climbed to 24 percent of total revenue, marking a notable shift toward premium chips. Despite the AI-led surge, smartphone-related revenue declined slightly to 27 percent, suggesting subdued consumer demand outside of flagship devices like the iPhone. TSMC has raised its full-year revenue growth forecast to 30 percent, up from a previous range of 20–30 percent. It also expects third-quarter revenue to be between $31.8 billion and $33.0 billion, which would represent 38 percent growth year-on-year. Concerns remain in place However, executives warned of potential challenges later in the year. CEO C.C. Wei noted that while current demand remains strong, 'uncertainties remain in the second half, particularly around trade policy and customer inventory levels.' There are growing concerns that demand may begin to level off in the final quarter of the year, following months of intense chip stockpiling by major technology companies. A possible saturation of AI-related purchases and broader macroeconomic pressures could dampen growth. The Trump factor TSMC's strong performance comes amid rising geopolitical tension. Earlier this year, US President Donald Trump announced 32 percent tariffs on Taiwanese semiconductors, citing national security concerns and the need to rebalance global trade. Additional tariffs on electronics and advanced components are also under discussion. This has led to front-loaded ordering behaviour, with companies rushing to place chip orders before tariffs take effect. In response, TSMC is accelerating the construction of its second fabrication facility in Arizona. Meanwhile, US export restrictions on AI chips destined for China remain in place. However, recent diplomatic signals indicate a modest easing of tensions, with Nvidia and AMD confirming they have received US approvals to resume limited shipments to Chinese partners. Still, such restrictions remain a key source of uncertainty for TSMC, which serves as the manufacturing backbone for many of the world's leading chip designers. With over 35 percent of its annual growth already secured in the first half, TSMC appears well-positioned for another strong quarter.

Indonesia to Continue Talks on Jets, Minerals After Tariffs Deal
(Bloomberg) -- Indonesia will keep talking with the US on sectoral tariffs, jet purchases and critical minerals after securing a 19% baseline tariff rate on exports to the world's largest economy, a government adviser said Thursday. Jakarta will 'continue to negotiate with good intention,' Mari Elka Pangestu, an adviser to President Prabowo Subianto on international trade and multilateral cooperation, said in an interview with Haslinda Amin on Bloomberg TV. That includes enhancing business interactions, helping diversify America's critical mineral- supply chain and negotiating sector-specific tariffs on products including aluminum and steel, she said. Several key business agreements linked to tariff discussions, such as PT Garuda Indonesia's plans to purchase dozens of Boeing Co. jets, also require commercial signoffs, Pangestu noted. The state-owned airline, which has been seeking to turn around its finances after sinking into the red last year, has said it could buy 50 or more jets, but a formal deal has yet to be announced. 'These are all commercial deals that will, of course, have to be done on competitive and business-to-business terms,' she said. 'There are things being done, being undertaken, to improve Garuda's performance and ability, obviously, to purchase these Boeing jets.' The purchase is part of an ongoing process to revitalize Indonesia's flag-carrier, Pangestu said. The tariffs deal, struck earlier this week between President Donald Trump and Prabowo, erases duties on US imports to Indonesia, and includes plans by the Southeast Asian nation to buy more than $19 billion of American energy and agricultural products. The agreement was among the first announced globally as the US carries out negotiations with dozens of countries. That highlights both Indonesia's ongoing effort to strategically balance economic ties between the US and China, and Southeast Asia's role as a crucial pivot in global trade dynamics amid rising geopolitical tensions. Pangestu, also a member of Indonesia's National Economic Council (DEN), said the country will grant the US increased access for exports not competing directly with Indonesian products or those in short supply locally, such as wheat and cotton. Officials expect only a modest impact on imports overall. 'It's not about opening up totally and giving in everything to the US,' she said. 'It is more nuanced and balanced than what maybe appears to the outsider.' The deal benefits Indonesia by securing lower tariffs compared to competitors on key exports to US like palm oil, she said. 'But of course we will continue to be talking to the US,' she added. 'There are other components to a trade deal that we would of course like to have more benefit coming to us.' --With assistance from Anand Menon. More stories like this are available on
