Tensions between the US and China have delayed Apple's AI rollout in China, FT reports
The Financial Times claims that the Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) is delaying the introduction of AI services by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Alibaba in China. A wide view of an Apple store, showing the range of products the company offers. Their February deal to incorporate AI technologies into iPhones in China is on hold due to geopolitical tensions resulting from U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war. Consumer-facing AI technologies need regulatory permission, and the CAC has not yet given its approval to these applications. The business is facing diminishing iPhone sales in China due to increased local competition, particularly from Huawei, which has integrated DeepSeek's AI models into its handsets. The firm is at a disadvantage to its AI-enabled Android rivals due to its lack of sophisticated AI technologies, such as ChatGPT-powered features and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s postponed "Apple Intelligence." More pressure is added by Trump's recent pronouncement of a 25% tariff on iPhones sold in the US that are not produced locally. New software improvements are anticipated during Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL)'s WWDC event, which takes place from June 9–13. While we acknowledge the potential of AAPL as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk. If you are looking for an extremely cheap AI stock that is also a major beneficiary of Trump tariffs and onshoring, see our free report on the best short-term AI stock.

Joann, Rite Aid, JCPenney, and other store closings contribute to a 274% surge in retail layoffs in 2025
Layoff announcements from U.S. employers have increased 80%, to 696,309 job cuts, through May of this year. That's in comparison with the 385,859 cuts announced throughout the first five months of 2024, according to the latest layoffs report from Challenger, Gray & Christmas, a Chicago-based executive outplacement firm. Why you're catching the 'ick' so easily, according to science Uber's new senior mode aims to remove barriers for aging riders Why AI Is Making 1:1 Meetings Irrelevant Federal government agencies have been most impacted by planned job cuts in 2025, with 284,827 job reductions year to date, compared with 36,325 U.S. government job cuts announced during the same period last year. Retail is the second-leading industry in job cuts this year, with 75,802 cuts since the start of 2025. That's a 274% increase in retail job reductions compared with the same period last year, when U.S. companies announced 20,276 layoffs. According to the report, DOGE-related efforts remain the leading reason given for job cut announcements this year. This includes reductions in federal employee and contractor roles, and private nonprofit layoffs resulting from federal funding cuts. Market and economic conditions were the second-most cited explanation for announced U.S. layoffs, followed by store closings. In a news release discussing the layoff report, Andrew Challenger, senior vice president of Challenger, Gray & Christmas, said: 'Tariffs, funding cuts, consumer spending, and overall economic pessimism are putting intense pressure on companies' workforces. Companies are spending less, slowing hiring, and sending layoff notices.' Store closings being among the top reasons cited for U.S. retail layoffs is unsurprising. Fast Company has written extensively about retail store closings throughout the U.S., from companies like Kohl's, Macy's, and JCPenney. While some retailers have chosen to shutter the doors of some locations, others have filed for bankruptcy protection and announced company-wide store closures. In January 2025, Joann filed for bankruptcy for a second time. The fabric and crafts store previously filed for bankruptcy protection in March 2024. Similarly, Rite Aid publicized its decision to file for Chapter 11 bankruptcy on May 5. The retail pharmacy first filed for bankruptcy in October 2023. As for hiring efforts, U.S. companies have announced 79,741 planned hires through May of this year, an increase of 57% from the same period last year. However, planned hiring announcements remain historically low compared with pre-pandemic and early-pandemic years.
