Apple’s ‘terrific’ performance in India helps drive its best-ever quarter
Apple CEO Tim Cook spoke about a “terrific quarter in India,” as the country stood out in the iPhone maker’s December-quarter performance, which set a revenue record, fueled by a surge in new user adoption.“We set quarterly revenue records on iPhone and Mac and iPad. And an all-time revenue record on services…We really like what we see there,” Cook said, as Apple rides a wave of demand in what is now the world’s second-largest smartphone market and fourth-largest PC market.Despite that scale, Apple believes it is only scratching the surface. Cook pointed out the company still has a “modest share” in India, even after years of steady growth. “So we think there is a huge opportunity for us there. And we could not be more excited about it,” he said.A key driver of that opportunity is first-time buyers. According to Cook, “the majority of customers that are buying iPhones and Mac and iPad and Watch are all new to that product,” underlining how Apple is expanding its user base rather than merely upgrading existing ones.The company is also deepening its physical presence to support that growth. “We were excited to open our fifth store in India in December,” Cook said,… Read MoreYourStory RSS Feed
Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself: Why Change Starts in the...
In his introductory lecture Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself, Dr Joe Dispenza challenges one of the most comfortable assumptions people live by: that change will somehow arrive on its own. Through neuroscience, lived observation, and a direct appeal to personal responsibility, he makes a clear case that most people are not creating a future at all. They are simply repeating the past.Dispenza begins with a simple but unsettling question. Many people say they believe their thoughts shape their lives. Far fewer wake up each morning and consciously create the day ahead. The reason, he suggests, is not lack of intelligence or ambition, but lack of belief at a deeper level. If people truly believed their thoughts mattered, they would guard them carefully. They would not allow unwanted patterns to slip by unnoticed.Living on autopilotMost days unfold in a predictable loop. People wake up on the same side of the bed, follow the same routines, interact with the same people, and respond in the same emotional ways. These actions feel harmless because they are familiar. Yet Dispenza asks a crucial question: if nothing changes in how the brain is used throughout the day, how can anything new emerge?From a neurological… Read MoreYourStory RSS Feed
