Apple chief Tim Cook snubs Donald Trump, gives another gift to India as tech giant to open...
(File) Amid Donald Trump's recent threat to impose 25% import tariffs on Apple if the tech giant increases its iPhone production in India, the company has announced to open its third retail store in the country. The new Apple Store will be opened in the Phoenix Mall of Asia in Bengaluru, according to a Business Standard report. New Apple Store to open in Bengaluru As per the report, Apple's new retail store, its third in India, is spread across over 8,000 square fee, almost equal to its counterpart in Delhi, but smaller than the company's flagship store in Mumbai, which is spread across a whopping 20,800 square feet. The upcoming Apple Store in Bengaluru will feature all the distinctive and recognizable features associated with the company's retail outlets, including a minimalist design, professional staff dressed in Apple uniforms, and an abundance of glass. Apple has leased the space for 10 years, and will pay 2 percent of its total earnings as rent for the first three, which will increase to 2.5 percent for the remaining lease period, according to the report. The lease period began from November 8, 2024, and rent will start August 8, 2025, which means the store will likely open in next few months, presumably in late July or early August. Apple's India plan Experts believe that the new Apple Store is more than just another retail store, but a part of company's larger plan to strengthen its roots in India as it plans to stay in the country for a long period, despite Donald Trump's tariff threats. Apart from being a giant market for Apple products, India is also emerging as a manufacturing hub for the company, which is evident from its recent assertion that the majority of iPhones that will be sold in the US from June 2025, will carry a 'Made in India' tag, while iPads, MacBooks, Apple Watches and AirPods will be shipped from Vietnam. However, things are expected to become difficult for Apple if it chooses to increase iPhone manufacturing in India, defying Donald Trump's diktat, who has threatened to impose 25% import tariffs on iPhones manufactured outside the United States.

Apple opening its 3rd store in India in Bengaluru, Phoenix Mall is the place
Apple is doubling down on India, and Bengaluru is next in line for the Apple retail experience. The tech giant is set to open its third physical store in the country, this time at the Phoenix Mall of Asia in Hebbal, Bengaluru, according to a Business Standard report. The move is part of Apple's growing love affair with India, even as tensions brew across the Pacific. advertisementSet to occupy a prime 8,000 square foot space on the mall's first floor, the new store will be similar in scale to Apple's Delhi outlet, though still dwarfed by the brand's flagship Mumbai store, which covers a whopping 20,800 square feet. While not the largest, the Bengaluru location is expected to pack the same Apple aura — minimalist interiors, expert staff in black tees, and plenty of glass. The report also stated that Apple has leased the place for 10 years. Apple will cough up 2 per cent of its store revenue for the first three years, with the figure climbing to 2.5 per cent in subsequent years. It added, "The lease period has commenced from November 8, 2024, while the rent commencement date is August 8, 2025." This means that the store may open in just a few months from now. advertisement This store is just one piece of a much larger puzzle. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently confirmed the company's intent to open four more retail outlets in India, with Pune and Delhi-NCR joining Mumbai and Bengaluru on the map. The first two stores, which opened in 2023, were seen as symbolic steps in Apple's India journey, this third opening signals something much more has become central to Apple's global plans, not just as a market for sales, but increasingly as a key manufacturing hub. In fact, Cook told analysts during Apple's Q2 2025 earnings call that, come June, most iPhones sold in the United States will carry a 'Made in India' tag. Meanwhile, Vietnam will be the country of origin for the majority of iPads, Macs, Apple Watches, and AirPods sold while Apple expands its footprint across South and Southeast Asia, the mood in Washington is anything but relaxed. President Donald Trump has issued a warning shot, threatening a 25 per cent tariff on iPhones not made in the United States, in a bid to nudge Apple back toward domestic production. It's the latest twist in the ongoing US-China trade saga, one that now seems to be pulling India and Vietnam into its remains unclear is whether these looming tariffs will force Apple to re-evaluate its overseas bets. But judging by the company's current pace in India, and the ink now dry on a decade-long lease in Bengaluru, it appears Apple has no plans to hit the pause button. With more stores on the way and India playing an increasingly vital role in Apple's global supply chain.

Emory Healthcare reveals full Apple product integration at Hillandale Hospital
Emory Healthcare has announced the implementation of Apple products at its Emory Hillandale Hospital in Lithonia, Georgia, US, which is also integrated with the Epic electronic health record (EHR) system. This digital overhaul is set to enhance the inpatient experience, streamline clinician workflows, reduce burnout and provide patients with secure access to their health information. Through Mac computers, clinicians at the hospital now have access to Epic, while iPhones and Apple Watches keep them connected. iPhones are equipped with Epic's Rover app to support nurses in monitoring vital signs and managing medication. Each patient room features an iMac on a swing arm, aiding clinicians with bedside charting and documentation. Emory Healthcare CEO Joon Lee said: 'Deploying Apple products with Epic apps throughout the hospital offers efficiency and mobility to our clinical teams while saving time, providing patients the undivided attention they deserve.' Patient registration is streamlined with iPad kiosks using the Epic Welcome app for quick and secure check-ins. Bedside iPads in every room enable patients to engage with their care plans, review medical records, order meals, and get in touch with their care teams through Epic's MyChart Bedside app. Essential safety information is displayed on the wall-mounted iPads outside patient rooms, facilitating care team handoffs and enhancing care coordination. Epic research and development executive vice-president Seth Howard said: 'Emory's rollout shows how Epic on Mac can be part of a hospital-wide digital strategy. We're happy to support more flexible, connected, patient-centric care.' Earlier this year, Emory Healthcare partnered with Atropos Health to introduce a decision-making tool that leverages real-world data to support clinicians.
