Apple Store to close at The Mall at Partridge Creek in Clinton Township
The tech giant confirmed late Wednesday, July 16, that it plans to close its Apple Store at the Clinton Township outdoor shopping center.
An Apple representative didn't say why they are leaving Partridge Creek, although a statement from the company attributed the closing to the planned future opening of a new Apple Store in downtown Detroit.
While the Detroit store's location has not been officially announced, it is expected to be inside a row of storefronts between 1426 and 1434 Woodward — just north of the Shinola Hotel and the redeveloped Hudson's site.
Apple's statement on July 16 didn't say precisely when the Partridge Creek store will close or when the Detroit store will open, aside from the opening happening sometime this year.
All workers at the Partridge Creek store will be given the opportunity to continue their roles at the Detroit store, the statement said.
The Apple Store is an original tenant of Partridge Creek, which opened in October 2007.
Other recent departures from the outdoor shopping center include Bar Louie, which closed June 29, and Forever 21, which closed earlier this year after the retailer filed for bankruptcy.
"We've loved serving the Partridge Creek community for nearly 20 years," the Apple statement said, "and look forward to welcoming our customers at our other stores in the Detroit metro area, including nearby Apple Somerset, as well as Apple.com and the Apple Store app.'

There are currently six Apple Stores in Michigan, with four in southeast Michigan: Somerset Collection in Troy; Twelve Oaks Mall in Novi; Briarwood Mall in Ann Arbor and the Partridge Creek store.

TSMC just hit a $1 trillion market cap. These 5 companies could be next
Last week, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company Limited (NYSE: TSM), also known as TSMC, crossed an important psychological threshold for investors. The Taiwanese company surpassed a $1 trillion market capitalization, making it the first Asian company to do so since China's PetroChina oil and gas giant briefly achieved this milestone in 2007, notes GuruFocus. Southwest Airlines' open seating is ending: Here's what the new 8-group boarding process will look like Here's exactly how much you'll save on your 2026 taxes, by income bracket: Trump's One Big Beautiful Bill benefits Why Third Amendment memes are suddenly taking over social media TSMC manufactures the most advanced computer chips in the world, which are essential for running the most complex AI tasks. The company makes chips for a variety of tech giants, including Nvidia and Apple. As of the time of this writing, TSMC has a market capitalization of approximately $1.2 trillion. The chipmaking giant has achieved this 12-figure valuation on the strength of its chip business in recent months, which has seen a surge in demand thanks to the artificial intelligence boom sweeping the world. But the question many people may be wondering now is who's next in line to join the $1 trillion club? Here's what the numbers say. Who is currently in the $1 trillion club? The list of companies valued at $1 trillion or more is pretty short. Currently, just 11 companies have a 12-figure valuation, according to data compiled by The companies with trillion-dollar market caps currently include: Nvidia ($4.1 trillion) Microsoft ($3.7 trillion) Apple ($3.1 trillion) Amazon ($2.4 trillion) Alphabet/Google ($2.3 trillion) Meta Platforms ($1.7 trillion) Saudi Aramco ($1.6 trillion) Broadcom ($1.3 trillion) TSMC ($1.2 trillion) Tesla ($1 trillion) Berkshire Hathaway ($1 trillion) While TSMC is the newest member of this esteemed list, the company that tops the chart, Nvidia, is the most notable. Not only is it the most valuable company in the world, but it is also the only company to have ever reached a $4 trillion market capitalization, which it achieved earlier this month. What companies are closest to joining the trillion-dollar club? As it's fairly hard to predict how the stock market—and individual stocks—will perform in the future, it's also nearly impossible to say with any certainty which company may be the next one to cross the trillion-dollar threshold. The companies that are the closest now could have calamity strike next week, and see their stock prices plunge as a result, taking them further from the 12-figure mark. Alternatively, a company that is worth only a few hundred billion now could strike metaphorical business gold next week, and see its share price surge catapulting it to the trillion-dollar club out of nowhere. But given that a company's market cap is defined by adding up the value of a company's total shares, it's easy to see which companies are currently next closest in line to becoming a trillion-dollar giant. The following five companies that are closest based on their current stock prices are: JPMorgan Chase (Market Cap $800 billion) Walmart ($763 billion) Visa ($685 billion) Eli Lilly ($684 billion) Oracle ($684 billion) Banking giant JPMorgan Chase is the closest to a $1 trillion market cap. To reach it, it would only need to see its stock price rise by another 25% from current levels. Walmart would need to see its stock increase by about 31% from current levels. Visa, Eli Lilly, and Oracle would all need to see about a 46% jump in their stock prices to reach a $1 trillion market cap. As for some of America's other tech giants, many would need to see their stock prices nearly double or triple from today's levels to reach a $1 trillion valuation. These companies include: Netflix (current valuation: $524 billion), SAP (current valuation: $358 billion), and Palantir (current valuation: $358 billion). For now, it's unlikely that any of these companies will be hitting the $1 trillion threshold in the near future, which is precisely why TSMC joining the club is such a big deal. Even as the value of many of the world's largest companies continues to surge, crossing the 12-figure mark is still a relative rarity.

Amazon to close China-based AI research lab
July 23 (UPI) --Amazon will shut down its AI research lab in a cost-cutting move as tensions flare with China and as other global companies seek to leave the nation because of Chinese influence. The Shanghai-based Amazon Web Services announced job layoffs last week while as the conglomerate shutters its artificial intelligence and development wing. The closures were first reported by The Financial Times. It was due to "strategic adjustments amid U.S.-China tensions," an applied scientist at the lab, Wang Minjie, wrote on WeChat early this week as Amazon disbanded the team. It was not immediately clear how many people or jobs were affected. The Shanghai facility was established in 2018 to focus on areas such as machine learning and processing natural language. In a statement, company spokesman Brad Glasser said Amazon "made the difficult business decision to eliminate some roles across particular teams" in its AWS division. Meanwhile, a growing number of American corporate giants, like Microsoft and IBM, have opted to either downsize or end operations in China as geopolitical tensions rise exasperated by U.S. President Donald Trump's fluctuating tariff policies. It came the same day McKinsey & Company, a large U.S. defense contractor, also revealed it was pulling back its own AI base in China as companies look to other nations such as India. About 300 India-based Chinese workers at FoxConn, Apple's main iPhone producer, were ordered to return home earlier this month by Chinese authorities as Apple looks elsewhere, too, for its business operations. Amazon has been actively retreating from China in recent years, going so far in 2019 to shut down the e-commerce giant's Chinese marketplace. Copyright 2025 UPI News Corporation. All Rights Reserved.

Cancelling a Subscription? Apple Lets Devs Make You an Offer You (Maybe) Can't Refuse
Got some subscriptions on an Apple device you're looking to cancel? You might be in for an extra step in the near future -- or a deal you decide you can't pass up. I don't about you, but often when I'm trying cancel a subscription (like Starz, when Outlander isn't airing), I often get an offer to stick around for a temporarily discounted price. It can be annoying sometimes, but I'd be lying if I said I've never taken them up on the offer. However you feel about that common customer retention practice, you can expect to see it on your Apple devices in the near future, according to findings from 9to5Mac. Spotted in the company's App Store documentation, developers now have a few options for presenting you with a further message whenever you attempt to end a subscription, including messages encouraging you to consider a different price tier, or a message offering you a promotional discount. At that point in the process, you'll still have the standard "Confirm Cancellation" and "Don't Cancel" options available to you, so no need to worry about further complications to cancellation beyond this extra decision. It comes just after the US Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down the Federal Trade Commission's "Click to Cancel" rule, which sought to make cancelling subscriptions as simple as the push of one button. The rule might make a comeback soon, as the ruling was only because the FTC had not taken the necessary regulatory analysis for a move that would have an impact on the US economy greater than $1 million. Apple did not respond to CNET's request for comment prior to publication.
