Tim CookLeadershipAI & techAAPLAI read · ▼ New CEO's first test

Apple beats on earnings but new CEO's margin outlook disappoints

The move

Apple reported fiscal fourth-quarter revenue of $114.48 billion, up 12% and above estimates, with EPS of $2.10 versus $1.99 expected; iPhone revenue rose more than 17% to $57.58 billion. It was CEO John Ternus's first earnings call since succeeding Tim Cook, who became executive chairman on Sept. 1. Apple guided next-quarter gross margin to 45% to 46%, below the 46.3% analysts expected, and shares fell about 3% in extended trading. Ternus said Apple "reluctantly" raised prices to offset component costs.

Why it matters

The quarter shows Apple's hardware demand is still strong, but the weaker margin guidance under its new CEO raises the question of whether rising component costs, especially memory, will keep squeezing profits into next year.

The bear case

Revenue and EPS both beat estimates, iPhone sales were strong, and Greater China revenue grew 21%, so the miss was confined to forward margin guidance, not current results.

What to watch

Whether Ternus's AI and Siri plans show up in device upgrades over the holiday quarter.

Mark ZuckerbergProduct launchAI & techMETAAI read · — Rare truce with Apple

Meta and Apple team up to run AI model on Macs

The move

Meta released its Muse Spark Open AI model on Oct. 15 and said it worked with Apple to let the model run locally on two linked Mac Studio computers using Apple's M5 Ultra chips and its MLX software. The model has 816 billion total parameters, 42 billion active at a time, and a 1-million-token context window, aimed at coding and multi-step agent tasks. Apple CEO John Ternus said it's 'amazing to run a model of Muse Spark Open's caliber and scale this efficiently, right from your desk.'

Why it matters

It's an unusual collaboration between two companies with a history of friction over privacy rules, and shows Meta pushing its open model onto more hardware.

The bear case

The 512GB Mac Studio needed to run it hadn't shipped yet, and the setup needs multiple machines that already cost over $10,000 each, not an ordinary single Mac.

What to watch

Whether Apple ships the 512GB Mac Studio this month as planned.

Meta and Apple team up to run Muse AI model on Macs

The move

Meta said its open-weight Muse Spark Open model, with 816 billion total parameters and a 1 million-token context window, has been optimized to run locally on Apple's M5 Ultra Mac Studio using Apple's MLX framework. Two linked Mac Studios can hold the full model without cloud servers. Meta demoed it editing iOS app code and operating video-editing software locally. Zuckerberg credited Apple CEO John Ternus for the collaboration on X.

Why it matters

It signals a thaw between two companies that compete in AI and gives developers a way to run a very large open model without renting cloud GPU capacity.

The bear case

The hardware isn't cheap: a single qualifying Mac Studio starts near $7,800, and two are needed for the full model, so this helps well-funded developers more than everyday users.

What to watch

Whether Meta or Apple extend the arrangement to other hardware or future Muse model versions.

Jensen HuangPolicyOtherNVDA · AAPLAI read · — Optics risk

Nvidia and Apple each gave $25 million to Trump's ballroom

The move

A Washington Post report, based on an internal fundraising spreadsheet, named Nvidia and Apple as the largest donors to the White House ballroom project at $25 million each. The Adelson Family Foundation and Dish Network co-founder Charlie Ergen matched that amount. Cisco gave $5 million. Donations tracked so far total more than $330 million toward a project the administration has said needs about $400 million; Trump himself was not listed as a donor.

Why it matters

It raises questions about the optics of companies with major federal contracts personally funding a presidential project, even though the reporting doesn't tie any donation to a specific government decision.

The bear case

Huang said Nvidia was contributing only 'in a small way,' and the report does not establish that any donor received favorable treatment in return.

What to watch

Whether other large federal contractors disclose similar gifts as the fundraising total nears its goal.
