Bloomberg reports Apple will unveil an extra $100 billion push into U.S. manufacturing, lifting its total stateside commitment to roughly $600 billion over the next four years. The package—branded the American Manufacturing Program—prioritizes making more key components domestically (like cover glass and select silicon/RF parts) while full iPhone assembly largely remains abroad for now. Apple frames the move as supply-chain diversification and resilience, with partnerships spanning firms such as Corning, Texas Instruments, Broadcom, and Applied Materials. The announcement, made alongside U.S. officials, follows months of tariff uncertainty and aims to secure critical production capacity inside the U.S. Rollout will be staged, with funding earmarked for facilities, tooling, and workforce development in multiple states. Expect incremental effects on product pricing and availability rather than an immediate switch to “Made in USA” devices. 🔁  Read the full breakdown here

Reports say Apple is actively exploring built-in 5G for MacBooks, with the first cellular model possible as soon as next year—though 2026 remains a safer bet, since the timing depends on Apple’s in-house modem finally being ready. Expect eSIM support, “always-connected” standby, and tighter handoff between Wi-Fi and cellular for travel and hotspot-free work. Engineering hurdles include fitting multi-band antennas into a thin aluminum chassis without hurting signal or battery life—areas Apple has studied in patents and prototypes. If it ships, the first candidate would likely be a MacBook Air–class machine or a new thin MacBook aimed at students and mobile pros, with sub-6GHz 5G at launch and mmWave limited to select regions. In short: the project is real, the benefits are clear, but the exact launch window still hinges on modem readiness. 🔁 Know someone who’d love this? Forward it in 1 tap

Apple CEO Tim Cook is set to appear at the White House as Apple unveils an additional $100 billion U.S. investment—timed amid Washington’s move to raise tariffs on Indian imports to as high as 50% later in August. Despite the hike, reports indicate Apple’s India-based iPhone production bound for the U.S. will be largely unaffected; smartphones are currently exempt from the new duties. 📥 Join 10,000+ tech pros getting tomorrow’s trends today

OpenAI has agreed to provide its services to the U.S. federal government at a symbolic fee of only $1 per year, a move that highlights its commitment to public service over profit in this case. This arrangement is likely aimed at supporting government initiatives in artificial intelligence, enabling agencies to access advanced AI tools such as language models for research, analysis, and operational efficiency. While the fee is minimal, the value of these services could be significant, potentially enhancing decision-making, streamlining processes, and fostering innovation within public sectors. Such collaborations can help governments stay ahead in the rapidly evolving AI landscape, while also raising questions about ethics, transparency, and the potential influence of private AI companies in policymaking. The symbolic pricing also sends a strong message about fostering public trust and promoting responsible AI deployment. ✅ Read the full AI breakdown here

Japan has passed a new law that compels Apple to allow alternative browser engines on iPhones, ending its long-standing restriction to WebKit, the engine powering Safari. Previously, all iOS browsers, including Chrome and Firefox, were required to use WebKit, limiting performance, feature diversity, and competition. This change aims to foster greater innovation, improve browsing experiences, and give users more choice. Developers will now be able to use their own rendering engines, potentially bringing faster, more capable browsers to iOS. The move aligns with global trends toward antitrust regulation targeting major tech companies, following similar actions in the EU’s Digital Markets Act. For Apple, it could mean rethinking its app review and security policies, while for consumers, it promises richer web functionality and potentially better performance. The change could significantly reshape the iOS browsing landscape in Japan and beyond. 🚀 Get Daily Tech Updates – Join Free
