US smartphone market sees slow growth as India-made phones surge: Canalys
In response to tariffs, Apple earlier this year sought to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India Reuters The United States smartphone market grew just 1 per cent in the second quarter as vendors front-loaded device inventories amid tariff concerns, while supply chain negotiations between China and the United States boosted shipments of Indian-made phones, research firm Canalys said on Monday. The imposition of US tariffs has prompted smartphone makers to reorganize their supply chains to avoid higher import costs and protect their margins. China, a major hub for electronics manufacturing, has been targeted by significant tariffs, pushing hardware makers to explore other Asian countries to maintain low production costs. In response to tariffs, Apple earlier this year sought to make most of its iPhones sold in the United States at factories in India. However, the move drew criticism from US President Donald Trump, who threatened additional tariffs on the Cupertino-based company if it did not produce domestically. "India became the leading manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US for the very first time in Q2 2025, largely driven by Apple's accelerated supply chain shift to India amid an uncertain trade landscape between the US and China," said Sanyam Chaurasia, Principal Analyst at Canalys. "The market only grew 1 per cent despite vendors front-loading inventory, indicating tepid demand in an increasingly pressured economic environment and a widening gap between sell-in and sell-through," said Runar Bjorhovde, Senior Analyst at Canalys. The share of US smartphone shipments assembled in China fell from 61 per cent in the second quarter of 2024 to 25 per cent in the second quarter of 2025. India picked up most of the decline, with Indian-made smartphone volume growing 240 per cent year-on-year. iPhone shipments declined by 11 per cent while Samsung shipments grew 38 per cent in the second quarter.

Student techie builds AI tool to cheat six-figure-salary job interview, gets suspended but secures over $5 million in seed funding
iStock A Columbia University student, faced suspension for creating Cluely, an AI-powered job hacking tool. Despite the controversy sparked by his Amazon job offer video, Lee secured $5.3 million in seed funding for his startup. (Representational Image: iStock) In a digital age where artificial intelligence is rapidly rewriting the rules of productivity, one student has turned controversy into capital. Chungin 'Roy' Lee, a 21-year-old former Columbia University student, has developed an AI-powered job hacking tool that not only got him suspended but also fetched his startup a jaw-dropping $5.3 million in seed funding. Cluely, as the tool is now known, began its journey under the name Coder. It functions as an in-browser overlay that discreetly helps users answer coding questions during technical job interviews—particularly those common on platforms like LeetCode. 'I thought, why are we wasting time on these arbitrary puzzles?' Lee explained in an interview with TechCrunch, framing Cluely as a natural extension of tech aids like calculators and spell checkers once deemed 'cheating.' Lee's ambitions took a controversial turn when he posted a video using the tool to secure a job offer from Amazon. The video went viral—and not in the way he'd hoped. According to Lee, Amazon was 'extremely upset' and allegedly contacted Columbia University with an ultimatum: suspend the student or risk being blacklisted from Amazon's hiring pool. What followed was a disciplinary hearing and Lee's suspension from Columbia. Speaking to Dr. Phil, Lee expressed disbelief: 'Obviously, I'm upset because Columbia is supposed to be training the future generation of leaders... I thought, as an Ivy League institution, anyone who's going to openly embrace their students using AI for various purposes that had nothing to do with the school, it'd be Columbia.' Despite the backlash, Cluely's success is undeniable. The startup, co-founded with COO Neel Shanmugam, has already crossed a $3 million average annual return in the first half of 2025, according to TechCrunch. Its tagline, 'Cheat on Everything,' has made it both notorious and fascinating. In a promo video bordering on parody, Lee demonstrates how Cluely could eventually integrate into AR glasses, helping users lie their way through social situations—like pretending to appreciate art on a first date. Critics compared the clip to an episode of Black Mirror, while others saw it as tongue-in-cheek genius. Either way, it made headlines. Lee's story throws open a thorny debate: in a world increasingly dominated by algorithms, what does 'cheating' even mean anymore? Is Cluely a symptom of a broken system that values puzzles over potential—or a tech-savvy shortcut that undermines meritocracy?

‘It's really hard to hide sloppy thinking': Why Jeff Bezos makes everyone read memos for 30 minutes before Amazon meetings, and what this approach teaches us
Imagine walking into a meeting, expecting a PowerPoint presentation, only to be handed a six-page document, and then sitting in silence for 30 minutes to read it. According to billionaire businessman Jeff Bezos, this isn't an unusual occurrence. 'Meetings at Amazon … are unusual,' he recently told podcaster Lex Fridman. 'For 30 minutes, we sit there silently together in the meeting and read, take notes in the margins. And then we discuss.' This approach isn't new. Bezos banned PowerPoint presentations in executive meetings as far back as 2004, replacing them with 'well-structured, narrative text.' The reasons? People weren't preparing, PowerPoint leaned too much on persuasion, and shallow thinking could hide behind slides. 'It's better just to carve out the time for people,' Bezos explained. 'So now we're all on the same page.' According to him, memos promote deeper thinking, truth-seeking, and more thoughtful conversation. 'When you have to write in complete sentences with narrative structure, it's really hard to hide sloppy thinking,' he said. Gurleen Baruah, organisational psychologist at That Culture Thing, tells ' Absolutely. Traditional meetings often lack clear agendas or rely on slides with bullet points, which don't require much thought. Many executives end up showing up unprepared simply because they are busy.' A post shared by Jeff Bezos (@jeffbezos) She continues, 'Bezos's approach, starting with a detailed memo, makes everyone slow down, focus, and enter the discussion informed and prepared. Full sentences demand clearer thinking than bullet points. This improves the quality of dialogue and decision-making. It's not just a meeting hack but a cultural shift that values preparation and depth over presentation.' According to Baruah, writing in complete sentences forces the author to think more clearly, connect dots, and structure arguments with logic and coherence. 'Research in cognitive psychology suggests that the act of writing deepens critical thinking and improves memory recall. A memo reveals gaps in reasoning that a flashy slide might gloss over. It invites feedback not just on the 'what' but on the 'why' and 'how.'' From a team dynamics standpoint, this kind of writing encourages intellectual honesty and thoughtful debate, rather than just performance or persuasion. 'Yes, a 'silent start' with written memos can absolutely work for smaller teams or non-corporate setups, sometimes even more effectively than in large organisations. But whether it works depends less on team size and more on cultural alignment. If an organisation values speed over thoughtfulness, or charisma over clarity, this method may feel slow or forced,' notes the expert. For memo-based meetings to succeed, leaders must model depth over performance and prioritise substance over style. Baruah concludes, 'It's not just about reading memos but building a culture where people are given time to think, where preparation is respected, and where the default isn't always 'move fast,' but 'decide well.' As with any change, consistency and clarity around the why is key.'
