Apple iPhone 17 to pack A19 chipset
According to revised supply chain insights from analyst Jeff Pu, Apple iPhone 17 is expected to house an upgraded chipset, likely a successor to Apple's current A-series Bionic chips. Pu said that the iPhone 17 will also pack the A19 chipset just like other models of the lineup. Earlier, Pu speculated that iPhone 17 will pack the same A18 chipset which is present in the iPhone 16 which the company launched last year.
Despite the new chipset, Apple iPhone 17 is said to come with the same 8GB of RAM same as the iPhone 16. All the other three models — iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are said to feature 12GB of RAM. The higher-end variants will also feature faster LPDDR5X memory, enabling smoother multitasking and enhanced support for Apple Intelligence features.
Apart from this, the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is said to come with custom WiFi 7 chip, 6.3-inch OLED display and 48 MP dual rear camera along with an upgraded 24MP selfie shooter.
The iPhone 17 series—including the new iPhone 17 Air—is slated for launch between September 8 and 12, continuing Apple's tradition of early fall unveilings

Tesla Swerves Into India's EV Bylane
The first Tesla showroom in India opened in Mumbai on Tuesday, pushing the world's most valued auto company into a niche market in India. Much hoo-ha has followed since people have gone to window-shop at the Bandra Kurla Complex storefront. The fact is, Tesla is testing the market after talks with GoI over lowering import duties stalled. Additional production in India may not be possible, with the EV-maker facing glut in its plants worldwide. So, Tesla will be competing for the high-end Indian market against luxury carmakers. The mass market for EVs is protected by Indian auto firms that have made inroads into electric mobility. Chinese EV makers, which are piling pressure on Tesla in a bruising price war, are gaining presence here. Market testing is critical for Tesla, whose cars come bundled with bespoke battery charging infra. India also represents a difficult market for autonomous vehicles, on which Elon Musk is placing a big bet. Prospects of a favourable tax dispensation to test Tesla's products in India brightened with Musk's proximity to Donald Trump. But they now are ex-es who didn't part well at all. India is working on a trade deal with the US that should improve market access for US companies. But Tesla is unlikely to receive special treatment, unless it is willing to commit investments in the country. Tesla follows Apple in setting up retail touchpoints in India, but their circumstances are in stark contrast. There is a significant market share for iPhones in India, and Apple has set up a manufacturing export base here. The size of Tesla's addressable market is much smaller, and it has export capacities idling. Tesla has a more diversified manufacturing presence than Apple, which is cutting down on its Chinese concentration. Indian policy designed to attract foreign investment will not be equally effective for the two companies. Some degree of customisation is required to get iconic brands to set up production in the country. Tesla could find itself in a better place in India down the road.

Apple set a new 'iPhone manufacturing record' in India in the first six months of 2025: Trump Tariffs, fears and ...
Apple has reportedly set a new milestone in India in the first six months of 2025. According to a report in Economic Times, the iPhone-maker has reportedly achieved the fastest ramp-up in iPhone production and exports from India in the first half of 2025 ever since it started smartphone assembly in the country in 2017. The move is said to be an attempt on Apple's part to diversify global production amid threat of higher US tariffs on Chinese imports. Quoting market researcher Canalys, the report said that iPhone production in India surged 53% on-year during the January to June period, reaching 23.9 million units. As per research firm Cybermedia Research (CMR), iPhone export volumes touched 22.88 million units in H1 2025, from 15.05 million a year earlier, an increase of 52%. In value terms, Apple exported $22.56 billion worth of iPhones from India in the first half of 2025, compared to $14.71 billion a year earlier as per CMR. "This shift reflects improving yield rates, line maturity, and Apple's growing confidence in India as a core manufacturing base," said Sanyam Chaurasia, analyst, Canalys. Donald Trump's 25% tariff threat to Apple Apple also faces a significant challenge in India as President Trump has warned the company about imposing 25% tariff on imported iPhones if they are not manufactured within US borders. "I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else," Trump wrote on Truth Social in May. "If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the US." by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Freehold Apartments in Dubai Starting from AED 675K Binghatti Developers FZE Explore Undo When Apple 'flew' 5 flights full of iPhones from India in flat 3 days Apple transported five planes full of iPhones and other products from India to the US in just three days during the final week of March. The urgent shipments were made to avoid a new 10% reciprocal tariff imposed by US President Donald Trump's administration that took effect on April 5. Apple's US warehouses are reportedly stocked for several months ahead with 'made-in-India' iPhones. Analyst said that stockpiling was aimed to allow Apple to maintain current pricing temporarily. 'The reserves that arrived at lower duty will temporarily insulate the company from the higher prices that it will need to pay for new shipments under the revised tax rates,' a source explained to TOI. In May, the US government later declared a 90-day pause on imposing reciprocal tariffs for most of its trading partners till July 9, which has since been extended to August 1. For India, the US has proposed a 26% tariff. Biggest iPhone manufacturers in India Foxconn (Hon Hai) and Tata Electronics are the leading manufacturers of iPhones in India. Last year, Tata Electronics took over operations of Wistron and Pegatron plants in the country. Apple iPhone 17 series manufacturing has reportedly started in India Apple is now reportedly planning to undertake simultaneous day-one manufacturing of the upcoming iPhone 17 in China and India. Apple iPhone 17 series is likely set for launch in September. Components for the iPhone 17 are reported to have already started arriving at the Foxconn plant in Tamil Nadu. "While not officially confirmed, the volume and type of these imports make it highly likely that trial production or early-stage assembly has commenced, months ahead of Apple's typical September launch window. This would mark a new benchmark with the earliest ever flagship ramp-up from India," Chaurasia said. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

iPhones to get banned in US for using Chinese displays? Here is what Apple is saying
Amid rising tensions between display makers, a recent case in the United States has raised concerns over whether iPhones using Chinese-made screens could face trouble in the US market. But Apple has stepped forward to clarify that its products are not part of the dispute and will not be impacted in any comes after the US International Trade Commission (ITC) gave a preliminary ruling in a case involving Chinese display manufacturer BOE. The company, which has been supplying OLED panels for iPhones since 2021, has been accused of using Samsung's trade secrets related to display technology. The ITC has reportedly found merit in Samsung's complaint and has proposed restrictions on to the ITC, BOE and its associated firms violated US trade rules by importing or planning to sell OLED display parts in the US that were allegedly based on confidential Samsung tech. The Commission has suggested banning BOE from shipping these panels to the US and also stopping them from selling any leftover stock within the country. Given that BOE is one of the suppliers of Apple's iPhones (alongside Samsung and LG), some reports suggest this could affect Apple's recent and upcoming models, including the iPhone 15, iPhone 16, and possibly even the iPhone 17. However, Apple has issued a clear statement dismissing any such link.'Apple is not a party to this case, and the order has no impact on any Apple products,' the company informed 9To5Mac, addressing speculation that the ITC order could lead to a ban on certain is also important to note that the ruling is not final yet. The ITC's decision is currently at a preliminary stage, and a final verdict is expected later in the year. Once that happens, the US President will have a 60-day window to either approve or reject the reports suggest that BOE has been approved by Apple to supply LTPO OLED panels for Chinese versions of the iPhone 17 Pro series. But these displays reportedly didn't meet Apple's standards for a global rollout. If any changes happen in Apple's supplier strategy going forward, they're likely to be business decisions based on product performance and not because of this legal case.- Ends
