Apple CEO Tim Cook has dealt with the growing pressure of the commercial dispute between the two countries, which threatens the company’s production chain. As a way of protecting itself, the company anticipated stocks in March, before the announcement of tariffs, and transferred part of the production to India. Still, the most expensive models, such as the Pro and Pro Max iPhone, will continue to be manufactured mostly in China.
Given this scenario, Apple evaluates what it considers “the least worst of options”: raising prices and justifying the measure with new features. According to Bloomberg, one of the news will be linked to Artificial Intelligence (IA). The company founded by Steve Jobs would be preparing an AI -based battery management system for iOS 19 – iPhones operating system update, which should be announced next month and launched in September.
The new function would analyze the individual use of each device to make automatic adjustments focused on energy saving. The technology would be part of the Apple Intelligence platform, the company’s AI.
