Apple faces worst iPhone slump since Covid-19 as China rivals rise
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.

Elon Musk's fight with Brazil exposes his fear of China
Quick Glance: Elon Musk and the Support of Far-Right in Brazil
  • A court in Brazil is planning an investigation against X owner Elon Musk for alleged obstruction of justice, following Musk's reactivation of accounts belonging to far-right individuals that were flagged by the Brazilian government for removal.

  • Under Musk's leadership, X has transformed into a sanctuary for the far right and dissemination of misinformation, resulting in an escalation of hate speech on the platform.

  • Experts caution that Musk is establishing a dangerous precedent by protecting and promoting the far right on his platform, regardless of local regulations or public opinion.

  • Despite Musk's claims of advocating for free speech, the implementation of these principles on the platform has been inconsistent under his direction, especially concerning government requests to deactivate accounts.

Women's NCAA championship garners more viewers than men's final
Quick Glance: Women's NCAA Title Game Shines with Record Viewership
  • South Carolina’s victory of 87-75 over Caitlin Clark and Iowa in the women’s NCAA championship game marks a historic moment. For the first time, the women's game surpassed the men's title game, achieving the second-highest viewership for a non-Olympic women's sporting event on U.S. television.

  • The viewership for the Sunday afternoon game, which awarded the Gamecocks their fourth national title and denied Clark's Hawkeyes their first, peaked at 24.1 million during the final 15 minutes. Nielsen's figures include an estimate of individuals watching outside their homes, a metric not previously accounted for before 2020.

  • The audience for the national title game increased by 90% compared to the previous year when Clark and Iowa faced off against LSU. Moreover, this was the inaugural occurrence since 1995 of the championship being broadcast on network television.

  • During the Final Four, Clark emphasized the positive impact of audience growth on all women's sports, not solely basketball. Fox broadcasted 14 women's games this season, including three in prime time, NBC featured two, and CBS televised the Big Ten tournament championship. ABC presented five regular-season games and nine during the NCAA Tournament.
