There are many reasons Apple Inc’s stock hasn’t been so hot lately, but a big one is that investors at large feel the American company [which sparked off the personal computer revolution in the 1980s and then put smartphones in people’s hands two decades later to shift our relationship with hi-tech gadgetry once again] lacks a compelling ‘story’ on artificial intelligence (AI). By that, they mean Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook doesn’t seem as if he has much of a plan. Google, to its credit, does have an AI story.

Apple reported to launch new iPad Air, iPad Pro models on March 26. Everything we know so far In the first warning, issued on March 15, CERT-In said several vulnerabilities had been found in Apple's iOS and iPadOS that “allow an attacker to trigger denial of service condition, execute arbitrary code, sensitive information disclosure and bypass security restriction on the targeted system." The cybersecurity agency said these vulnerabilities exist for a number of reasons, including improper validation in Bluetooth, MediaRemote, Photos, Safari and Webkit components.

It is the time of year when throngs of Western corporate chieftains and big-name investors descend on Beijing to pay homage to China’s leadership. This time, the focus will be just as much on who is there to greet them. Chief executives including Tim Cook of Apple, Cristiano Amon of Qualcomm, Albert Bourla of Pfizer and Stephen Schwarzman of Blackstone, as well as Bridgewater Associates founder Ray Dalio, are expected to attend the annual government-sponsored China Development Forum that starts on Sunday in Beijing, according to people familiar with the matter.

Apple iPad Air and iPad Pro models could be launched in late March or early April, and the Cupertino-based tech giant could also start shipping the devices to customers in April. Meanwhile, a report from Chinese website IT Home claims that Apple could launch the new iPad range on March 26. However, the publication cites several Amazon listings for third-party cases on Amazon as the reason for the launch date.
