Company News
Apple is also working on two new versions of its pricey Vision Pro headset, a kind of stop-gap product to attract users and developers while Apple makes the real AR product.
As Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports, Apple is ramping up efforts to develop lightweight augmented reality (AR) glasses.
Apple may be developing a lightweight 'Vision Air' headset with titanium build.
Apple has released tvOS 15.4.1 for Apple TV devices, focusing on stability and performance.
In January 2025, President Trump issued an executive order requiring federal employees to return to in-person work. This caused several disruptions, including desk shortages, Wi-Fi issues, and even a lack of basic supplies. While the order only affects the public sector, it sure highlights the inefficiencies of traditional office environments and presents a huge opportunity for U.S. companies for hiring in the emerging regions. Amid these domestic challenges, U.S. companies are increasingly investing in emerging markets, such as Latin America, Eastern Europe, and Asia-Pacific, to capitalise on the benefits of remote work and access to a diverse talent pool. In fact, Google announced a $2 billion investment in Malaysia to establish its first data centre and Google Cloud region (Al Jazeera). Similarly, Apple is putting $250 million into expanding its regional hub in Singapore (WSJ)
