Oppo Find X9 Ultra camera details leaked, may use two-periscope lenses
Under the hood, the phone is rumoured to be powered by a chipset with the model number SM8850, which is believed to be Qualcomm's next high-end processor — possibly the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2. However, the phone's launch may not happen this year. Reports indicate it could release in early 2026.The Oppo Find X9 series is expected to include four phones: Find X9, Find X9 Plus, Find X9 Pro, and Find X9 Ultra. The first three models could arrive by October, going by Oppo's usual launch timeline. These phones are expected to use MediaTek's upcoming Dimensity 9500 chipset and feature flat displays in different sizes, ranging from 6.3 to 6.78 inches. The company may also use LIPO display tech to reduce bezels and improve screen design.The rest of the series is also tipped to have periscope zoom cameras, but the Ultra model is reportedly being positioned as the most advanced. With the combination of high-resolution sensors and long-range zoom, the Find X9 Ultra could be one of the most camera-focused Android phones when it eventually launches. It will be interesting to see what the upcoming Oppo Find X series will bring to the table.

BYD's July production falls for first time in 17 months as expansion spree slows
BYD 's vehicle production fell 0.9 per cent in July from a year earlier, ending a 16-month growth streak that has catapulted the Chinese automaker into the world's largest electric vehicle maker. BYD made 317,892 electric vehicles and plug-in hybrids (PHEVs) globally last month, while sales edged up 0.6 per cent to 344,296 vehicles, slowing sharply from a 12 per cent increase in June, according to a monthly filing with the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Its EV sales and production still grew in July versus last year, but PHEV sales dropped 22.6 per cent and production shrank 24.6 per cent. The company last saw shrinking production in February 2024, in line with an industry-wide fall due to the timing of China's Lunar New Year holiday, which fell in February versus January in the prior year. Sales contracted in February 2024 as well. BYD, which is the biggest Chinese rival to Tesla, saw both production and sales hit record highs in the fourth quarter of 2024 before trending down this year. With electric car sales accounting for 41 per cent of its more than 4 million vehicle sales last year, BYD has overtaken the US EV specialist as the world's top EV seller. BYD, engaged in a bruising price war in the world's largest auto market, has slowed its production pace in recent months by reducing shifts at some factories in China and delayed plans to add new production lines, Reuters reported in June.

Apple's tariff-fueled iPhone sales surge raises doubts about sustainability
Apple's best revenue growth in three years failed to impress, with shares down about 1% in volatile trading on Friday, as investors questioned whether a tariff-driven surge in iPhone sales would last. A rush to buy iPhones ahead of potential U.S. tariff-driven price increases, along with China subsidies and upbeat demand for the budget 16e model launched in February, fueled a 13.5% jump in the quarterly sales of the device, crushing expectations. That pushed up total revenue by a better-than-expected 10% in the April-June period, and Apple issued an above-estimate sales forecast for the current quarter ending in September. The results came at a precarious time for the company long seen as Big Tech's safest bet. Beyond the tariff threats facing its manufacturing hubs China and India, Apple has been slow to move on artificial intelligence technology that its software and devices rivals have embraced as their next big growth driver. Analysts said the sales rebound in China, where local rivals have moved faster than Apple on AI features, was a positive. The company benefited in the world's largest smartphone market from a state subsidy program meant to prop up device sales. But they also warned the 'pull-in' boost was expected to be temporary, raising doubts about demand for the rest of the year. 'Pull-forward, remember, is not a U.S. issue. It's also a China issue. There, Apple's Pro model iPhones were too expensive to qualify for Chinese government subsidies that were being offered … so they cut prices to qualify, leaning into the volume opportunity. It worked,' MoffettNathanson analysts said. 'But as with the U.S., what does that mean for the rest of the year?' So far this year, Apple stock has underperformed all its 'Magnificent Seven' peers barring Tesla, with a decline of more than 17%. The S&P has risen 7.8% in the period Many of Apple's products are currently exempt from tariffs, and the company has also been rebalancing its supply chain to shield itself from the duties, sourcing iPhones from India and other products such as Macs and Apple Watches from Vietnam. The U.S. is currently negotiating trade deals with both China and India, with U.S. President Donald Trump saying India could face 25% tariffs as early as Friday. Apple said tariffs would raise costs by $1.1 billion in the current quarter after the company said it took an $800 million hit from tariffs in the third quarter. Its AI strategy also remains a concern after Apple delayed the release of an AI-enhanced version of Siri virtual assistant and was slow to launch Apple Intelligence. CEO Tim Cook said on Thursday the company was making good progress on Siri and that Apple is 'significantly growing' its investments in AI. 'Brand loyalty gives Apple time to get the AI transition right, but it needs to start delivering,' said Matt Britzman, senior equity analyst, Hargreaves Lansdown.

US defense bill proposes examination of Apple display supplier
A measure added into a massive U.S. defense spending bill in recent weeks will, if passed, ask the Pentagon to determine whether one of Apple's display suppliers should be listed as a Chinese military company. Being on the list does not block companies from doing business in the U.S. but will in coming years block them from being part of the U.S. military's supply chain. The bill, known as the National Defense Authorization Act, was approved in July by key committees in both houses of the U.S. Congress. The final bill, considered a "must-pass" because it funds the U.S. military, is expected to become law later in the year. When the bill was approved by the U.S. House of Representatives Armed Services Committee, a newly added amendment for the first time asked the U.S. Defense Department to consider whether BOE Technology Group Co, listed on Apple's official suppliers list, should be added to a list of firms that allegedly aid China's military. BOE and Apple did not respond to requests for comment. Craig Singleton, a China expert at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, a Washington think-tank, said Beijing had offered billions of dollars in subsidies, tax breaks and loans to help firms such as BOE dominate global panel production. "This creates a single-source vulnerability that could be easily exploited to disrupt or degrade U.S. military operations, not to mention undermine commercial supply chains, during a conflict or period of heightened bilateral tension with Beijing," Singleton added. A study published last month by New York-based NERA Economic Consulting and commissioned by BOE's U.S. subsidiary found that the display industry, which includes major Korean players such as Samsung Electronics and LG Electronics, remains highly competitive, with no single player capable of significantly affecting global prices. "There is no credible risk of a supply chain disruption by mainland China display manufacturers," the report said.
