A prospective buyer tries the iPhone 17 Pro in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 17 October. A prospective buyer tries the iPhone 17 Pro in Jakarta, Indonesia, on 17 October. Tech company's stock enters positive territory for first time this year after gaining about 13% since new iPhone launches Apple topped $4tn in market value for the first time on Tuesday, the third tech company to hit the milestone, as robust demand for its latest iPhones allayed fears over its slow progress in the AI race. Microsoft reached a $4tn market cap for the second time the same day as the wider US stock market hit record highs. Apple's shares have gained about 13% since the new launches on 9 September, in a remarkable turnaround that pushed the stock into positive territory for the first time this year.

The electric vehicle tax credit is gone, and Tesla's new, more affordable models don't quite close the gap. For nearly two decades, CEO Elon Musk has promised Tesla would make a more affordable electric vehicle, to, as he put it in 2006, "help expedite the move from a mine-and-burn hydrocarbon economy towards a solar electric economy." On Tuesday, Tesla announced a new Model Y and Model 3 Standard, versions of its popular compact SUV and sedan stripped of a few higher-end touches and features to bring the price down to $39,990 and $36,990, respectively. They're both about $5,000 cheaper than the Premium variants, which goes a ways--but not all the way--toward recouping the $7,500 tax credit canceled by the GOP-led Congress this past summer . The price point also puts Tesla's newest models firmly in the "more affordable" EV camp.

The Vision Pro Was an Expensive Misstep. Having reportedly shelved work on a cheaper Vision Pro, Apple is apparently pivoting its focus to smart glasses--and hoping it's not too late. If Apple wants to match the grip Meta has on the smart glasses market, it just might have to simplify its face computers. According to an internal announcement reported in Bloomberg by serial Apple leaker Mark Gurman, Apple has deprioritized efforts to make a lighter, more affordable version of its Vision Pro headset in favor of focusing on AI-enabled smart glasses . Apple now seems to be aiming to launch a pair of Meta-style smart glasses in 2027, with another pair featuring a display on the lens aimed for release in 2028--if not before.

Thinner, smaller gadgets are usually harder to repair due to their constrained space, but surprise, surprise, Apple's 5.6 mm-thin iPhone Air has earned a respectable 7/10 repair score from iFixit . A key factor in this was Apple relocating the logic board to create more space for the battery, making it easier to access.

Having left competitors in the shade by adhering to vital lessons on what works on your face, Mark Zuckerberg has reverted to old habits with Meta Ray-Ban Display--and that's not good. In the early days of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg and his team famously adopted the motto "Move fast and break things." Posters with the phrase reportedly adorned the company's Silicon Valley headquarters, alongside other, similar sentiments like "Done is better than perfect," and "Fail quicker." The focus for the young company was clear: Being first was more important than getting it right first time. As the company grew, Zuckerberg--in an interview with WIRED -- started to distance himself from, or at least temper, those mantras.
