Apple loses top phonemaker spot to Samsung as iPhone shipments drop, research company says

nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-loses-top-phonemaker-spot-samsung-iphone-shipments-drop-research-rcna147828

Quick Glance: iPhone sales plummet. Here's why

Apple’s smartphone sales dropped by 10% last quarter, primarily due to a sharp decline in sales in China.

Samsung had been the top smartphone manufacturer for 12 years, but Apple briefly took the top spot last year.

The global smartphone market is showing signs of recovery with a 7.8% increase in smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024.

Despite expectations for Apple and Samsung to maintain their market dominance, the rise of Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi and OPPO/OnePlus may continue.

Quick Glance: Google terminates 28 employees after office occupation due to anti-Israel protests

Google terminated 28 employees on Thursday who had occupied its offices to protest against contracts with the Israeli government, as confirmed by a Google spokesperson.

The protesters were arrested and after refusing to leave the office of Google Cloud CEO Thomas Kurian in Sunnyvale or the workspace in New York City for nearly 10 hours, they were transferred to administrative positions to urge Google to terminate the Project Nimbus contract and cease business with the Israeli government.

No Tech For Apartheid, a project by Jewish Voice for Peace and Linda Sarsour’s MPower Change, described the terminations as an "indiscriminate act of mass retaliation."

The office occupations at Google were accompanied by demonstrations on-site and in Seattle, aiming to compel Google to withdraw from the project to establish cloud-based data centers and transition a significant portion of the Israeli government's IT infrastructure to cloud-based servers.

Quick Glance: Brave Launches Leo AI Assistant on iOS Devices

Brave announced the launch of its AI assistant, Leo, for iPhone and iPad users. Leo allows users to ask questions, summarize pages, create content, and more.

The iOS launch of Leo introduces voice-to-text capability, not available in the Android version. Users can speak out loud and have it converted to text, simplifying interactions with the AI.

In addition to summarizing pages or videos, Leo can answer questions, generate reports, translate or rewrite pages, create transcriptions, and write code. Brave hopes users will prefer Leo over other similar services.

Leo includes access to Mixtral 8x7B, Anthropic’s Claude Instant, and Meta’s Llama 2 13B. Brave offers Leo Premium for higher rate limits at $14.99 per month. Opera also launched an AI assistant called Aria last year.
