SpaceX is preparing a Starlink-only smartphone aimed at the premium segment, where Apple earns a large share of its iPhone and Services revenue. Apple agreed to a reverse acqui-hire of audio startup Huxe, licensing its personalization technology and bringing key staff into its Podcasts team. Apple also confirmed that John Ternus is formally succeeding Tim Cook at the top of the company. The article argues the bigger risk is a rival network that could weaken carrier partnerships and bundled offers that support iPhone volumes, not just a rival handset. Near-term signals to watch include how Ternus handles the next iPhone and Apple Intelligence rollout, any changes to the usual fall launch timing, and margin guidance, as memory costs are described as a “100 year flood”.
