iPhone sales are plunging. Here’s why: Apple’s smartphone sales tumbled 10% last quarter, according to market research firm IDC, as sales in China fell sharply.

cnn.com/2024/04/15/tech/iphone-sales-plunging/

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: Samsung forecasts 10-fold profit surge, marking the end of chip downturn

Samsung expects a 10-fold increase in operating profit in the first quarter as memory chip prices recover strongly after last year's industry downturn.

Revenue rose by 11.4 percent to Won71tn in the first quarter compared to the previous year, while operating profit surged by 931 percent to Won6.6tn.

Analysts predict Samsung's chip division will achieve an operating profit of approximately Won900bn in the first quarter, compared to an operating loss of Won2.2tn in the December quarter.

Samsung's strong earnings have also been driven by robust sales of its latest AI-driven smartphones, allowing the company to regain the top spot in global smartphone sales in February.

India's Biocon developing its own version of Wegovy, clinical trial likely next year

reuters.com/business/healthcare-pharmaceuticals/indias-biocon-developing-its-own-version-wegovy-clinical-trial-likely-next-year-2024-04-18/

Quick Glance: Biocon Developing Own Version of Wegovy, Plans Clinical Trial

Indian pharmaceutical company Biocon is working on developing its own version of Novo Nordisk's popular Wegovy and is likely to conduct a clinical trial next year to enter the growing weight-loss drug market.

Biocon's CEO, Siddharth Mittal, has expressed the company's intention to develop semaglutide, the active ingredient in Wegovy, for the Indian market, even if it requires a clinical trial.

Biocon aims to introduce generic versions of weight-loss drugs in emerging markets such as Brazil, Mexico, and Saudi Arabia before the patent for semaglutide expires in those countries in 2026.

The company is striving to obtain a waiver on clinical trials from Indian regulators and submit bioequivalence studies to demonstrate the effectiveness of their version of semaglutide. Biocon is making significant investments in generics research and development, including peptides for weight-loss drugs.

Researchers unlocked the genome of Arabica coffee species, tracing its origins to a natural mating over 600,000 years ago in Ethiopia.

The study revealed Arabica's low genetic diversity and susceptibility to pests and diseases, limiting its cultivation locations.

The findings could lead to new breeding approaches in coffee to develop varieties with enhanced resistance to diseases and climate changes.

Arabica formed as a natural hybridization between parent species Coffea canephora and Coffea eugenioides, mainly used for global coffee production.
