June 29: Apple's next iPhone won't include a charger or headphones, top analyst predicts
In an effort to cut costs, Apple may not include a power adapter with its upcoming iPhone models, TF Securities analyst Ming-Chi Kuo said in a note this week.
Kuo predicted in May that the company will not include headphones with the next iPhone, which he refers to as the iPhone 12. Apple's goal is to sell the iPhone at a comparable price to the current iPhone 11 model, the analyst said.
Apple declined to comment.
Apple is likely gearing up to launch a new iPhone in the fall, since the company has launched new iPhones in September or October every year since 2011. In most years, a successful launch of the new devices, which account for over half of Apple's revenue, is critical for the company. The company released a new version of the iPhone SE this spring. Kuo said the next version of the iPhone SE, which is expected in 2021, won't come with headphones or a charger either.
Kuo's analysis usually focuses on companies that sell parts and assembly services to Apple, and he has successfully predicted unreleased Apple products in the past.

June 26: Op-ed: A new Trump executive order on 'no college' jobs that Apple and IBM support
On Friday, President Donald Trump is expected to announce an executive order that could have far-reaching economic implications for Americans without college degrees. For the first time, the federal government (the nation's largest employer) will prioritize a job applicant's skills over where, or whether, they went to college.
Trump's move, while bold, is not entirely novel.
Financial giant J.P. Morgan announced plans to end on-campus recruiting last year, and major tech firms, from Apple to Alphabet, have loosened degree requirements in recent years. Perhaps with good reason: A growing number of employers now question whether college graduates are ready for work, and Americans who attended college often question the relevance of their education in an increasingly dynamic labor market.
Major employers should take note, because research suggests that there may be as many as 71 million Americans who have the skills to thrive in higher wage roles but lack the degrees or other credentials that employers often require.
The elimination of so-called pedigree requirements holds potential to not only get Americans without degrees back to work faster but upend the no-college stigma that holds workers back and contributed to rising economic inequality in the decade that followed the Great Recession, when the top 1% of Americans captured 85% of income growth.
According to Maria Flynn, CEO of workforce nonprofit JFF, Americans without degrees are often the first fired in a downturn, and the last hired during periods of economic recovery. That means that workers without a college education, who have been disproportionately harmed by the pandemic, are likely to be overlooked in favor of the 36% of Americans that already have earned a four-year degree.
Despite conventional wisdom, working Americans without degrees are not low skill.

June 25: Apple will re-close 14 stores in Florida because of rising Covid-19 rates, bringing total re-closings to 32
Apple will re-close 14 stores in Florida as Covid-19 cases rise in the state, the company said on Thursday. The stores will re-close on Friday.
The shutdowns come after Apple re-closed seven retail stores in Texas on Wednesday, and 11 stores across Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arizona last week. Apple has now announced the re-closing of 32 stores in the United States.
An Apple representative said in a statement: "Due to current COVID-19 conditions in some of the communities we serve, we are temporarily closing stores in these areas. We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible."
Apple stores tend to be in important shopping centers and malls, and can be seen as an indicator of how smoothly and where retail operations can re-open in the United States. The Florida closings are spread across six counties: Hillsborough, Orange, Seminole, Palm Beach, Broward and Miami-Dade.
Apple was one of the first companies to shut its stores around the world in March in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, although some stores in the U.S. have re-opened in recent weeks with increased safety measures including mandatory masking, space for social distancing, and temperature checks. Many locations are only open for curbside pickup or service by appointment.

June 25: Apple Watch will soon let doctors remotely monitor patients as they age - here's what experts think
Apple introduced a slew of new features for its Apple Watch this week, ranging from sleep tracking to hand-washing reminders, most of which were targeted to all consumers.
All except for one: An update to its motion sensors that is designed to help the clinicians monitor patients' remotely as they age. Apple shared in a news release that the watch and iPhone can now track low-range cardio fitness, walking speed, double support time, step length and six-minute walk distance, among other metrics. The data will be available in the Health app in the fall.
Apple has described the metrics as "validated" because it compares them in internal studies to the gold standard for measurement.
The company said that, because of these updates, it now has a way to track "functional (aerobic) capacity" through the Apple Watch. That means it can start to assess a patients' mobility in a standardized way.
Most of what Apple does is intended for consumers at large, but these new features are most relevant to those who are aging or experiencing events that impact their ability to move freely because of an injury or procedure.

June 24: Apple buys Fleetsmith, a company making it easier to deploy iPhones and Macs at workplaces
Apple has bought Fleetsmith, a company that makes tools that enable businesses to more easily deploy iPhones and Macs to their workers.
"We're thrilled to join Apple," the company said in a blog post. An Apple spokeswoman confirmed the acquisition. Deal terms were not disclosed.
Although Apple is primarily a consumer company that sells phones and computers to individuals, in recent years it has started to turn more attention to the enterprise market, partnering with companies such as IBM, SAP and Cisco and persuading businesses to buy iPhones and Macs as tools for their workforce. The Fleetsmith acquisition will help offer a wider range of products and services to enterprise clients.
In 2017, Apple CEO Tim Cook said that the enterprise market was the "mother of all opportunities."
Fleetsmith's software makes it easier to remotely configure, wipe and deploy these devices, a kind of product called mobile device management, or MDM, specifically focusing on Apple products.
It launched in 2016 and raised over $40 million in venture capital from investors including Menlo Ventures, according to TechCrunch. It has 75 employees, according to LinkedIn.
In the blog post, Fleetsmith said that it is looking forward "to continuing to deliver Fleetsmith to existing and new customers."

June 24: Apple to re-close seven stores in Houston because of Covid-19 spikes
Apple will re-close seven U.S. retail stores in the Houston, Texas area as Covid-19 cases rise in the state, the company said on Wednesday.
The stores will close on Thursday, according to hours posted on Apple's website.
Apple last week re-closed stores in Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Arizona for similar reasons, saying at the time: "We take this step with an abundance of caution as we closely monitor the situation and we look forward to having our teams and customers back as soon as possible."
Apple Store locations tend to be in important shopping centers and malls, and can be seen as an indicator of how smoothly retail operations can re-open in the United States.
Apple has now re-closed 18 stores in the United States.
Apple was one of the first companies to shut its stores around the world in March in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, and the company says it is closely monitoring the Covid-19 situation on a region-by-region basis to make sure its safe to operate its stores.
Stores in the U.S. started to re-open in recent weeks with increased safety measures including mandatory masking, space for social distancing, and temperature checks. Many locations are only open for curbside pickup or service by appointment.

June 23: Apple
Apple shares jumped 2.1% to a record high as investors cheered a slew of announcements from the tech giant's Worldwide Developers Conference. The company unveiled a new operating system for its flagship product, the iPhone, along with a new OS for its computers. Apple also said it would ditch Intel chips when building its new Mac computers. Several Wall Street analysts praised these announcements, with UBS even hiking its price target on the stock to $400 per share from $325 per share.

June 23: Developer at center of App Store fight says Apple's changes are 'very little'
The developer battling App Store rules told CNBC on Tuesday that changes announced by Apple amounted to "very little."
Apple said Monday it will allow developers to "challenge" its App Store rules. Basecamp CTO David Heinemeier Hansson had said the iPhone maker threatened to remove his company's new email app, Hey, unless it implemented in-app purchases that would gave Apple a 30% cut of revenue. The Google Play tore also charges 30% on in-app purchases.
Hansson's complaints tapped into long-running negative developer sentiment about App Store business practices and inspired scores of other app makers to voice their complaints ahead of Apple's annual developer conference.
Hansson told CNBC's "Squawk Alley" on Tuesday that the changes Apple announced were a good first step toward marketplace reforms, but he was skeptical that they would be enough.
"What they've given out is actually so far very little. Apple has said that you can appeal to Apple if you want Apple to investigate Apple. OK, maybe there's something there, but it hinges on what those verdicts are going to be," Hansson said.
An Apple spokesperson declined to comment.
Apple also announced on Monday it will no longer hold up minor updates geared toward fixing bugs over App Store guideline violations.
"I hope this doesn't mean you just get one freebie, then you get sent to purgatory while Apple figures out what to do with you," Hansson said.
Apple approved a bug-fix update to the Hey app over the weekend, Basecamp previously said, but its major update to comply with Apple's rules, including a new free tier of service, had not been approved.
Hanssen said iPhone users make up a substantial portion of his business, with 80% of Hey customers using Apple platforms. He added that his company can't abandon the Apple platforms for Windows and Android.
"We did not want a fight with Apple whatsoever," Hanssen said.
