Reports that the latest iPhone won't be exclusively fabricated in China but also in India may be a sign that the gap between India and China as tech manufacturing powers may be closing. As Beijing struggles with power shortages, Covid-related shutdowns and geopolitical tensions, Apple seem to be looking for alternatives. We talk to Mike Wuerthele, managing editor for Apple Insider. Around 200 tea gardens in Bangladesh have seen the return of workers after two weeks of strikes. Tens of thousands of tea pickers had walked out over their pay, but now the government has signed a new agreement with union leaders pledging to improve conditions. Philip Gain, a human rights activist based in Dhaka, tells us more. Thousands of farmers in India have descended on the capital once again to protest against the government. They claim promises made last year, when they called off a year-long protest, haven't been fulfilled. We ask Arunoday Mukharji, the BBC's India Business Correspondent, if this could lead to the same disruption seen in 2021. Many residents in the Faroe Islands rely on subsidised helicopter trips between islands, and tunnels under the sea that allow traffic to flow. A new one is under construction,n and it's of the most ambitious tunnelling projects in the world. The BBC's Tim Ecott took a rare journey deep under the sea with Teitur Samuelsen, CEO of developer EST. Ford will cut 3,000 jobs mostly in the United States, and India. The move is deemed to be part of the firm's electrification strategy. Matthias Schmidt, an European Automotive Market Analyst in Germany, tells us why we might be hearing similar announces from more carmakers. Campaigners in Germany are asking for speed limits to be imposed on German motorways, which are famous for not having any. Activists say it will reduce emissions and fuel use at a time when the country needs to reduce its reliance on Russian gas. The BBC's Jenny Hill reports. And we discuss the latest developments in the markets with senior market analyst Fiona Cincotta.
You'd think that everything there was to know about the new 14-inch MacBook Pro and revised 16-inch MacBook Pro was already known, but then you don't have a secret laboratory. The AppleInsider podcast goes in deep on the details, and also examines when you should concentrate on specification details, and when you should not. There's a lot to discuss about just physically getting hold of a MacBook Pro, too, as online preorders keep slipping, yet certain models are tantalizingly in plentiful supply in Apple Stores. It's much the same with the Apple Watch Series 7, too, and we explain just why everything is so hard to find this year. Plus, you may not be all that fussed about the notch in the new MacBook Pro, but Apple knew some people would be very vocal about it. So they already added a workaround to macOS Monterey. Speaking of Apple adding things, it is surely now going to pick up more subscribers to it services. Apple Music is now on the Playstation 5, and Comcast is bringing Apple TV+ to its subscribers. That could just be enough, just about, to mean Apple isn't doomed. What with having only taken in a mere $83.4 billion in the September quarter and beaten all financial records. It's tough being Apple. If you have questions you'd like answered on the show, tweet at Stephen Robles and William Gallagher, or email us here.

Creator of the Kindle Classroom Project Interview starts at 15:29 and ends at 43:19 “I don't think that the Kindle makes reading any more fun, but a lot of students--especially 9th Grade boys who have been turned off of reading, they get a Kindle, and the Number One thing that they do is they bump up that text size, because they don't like it to be so small, so they can really feel like they're achieving as a reader. Even though the book takes the same amount of time to read, they feel they are making more progress through the pages.” News Amazon Device Sale for Prime Members Amazon Key Home Kit on sale for up to $140 off Cities eligible for Amazon Key delivery The Essential W.

Victor and Mike Wuerthele talk about the latest news in 'iPhone 8', iPhone SE rumors, and Qualcomm lawsuits.
It's Monday, so it's time for another episode of the MacNN Podcast! Charles is off and about this week, so hosts Mike Wuerthele and Jordan Anderson take to the microphones like it's 2010 again! Join us for a topic-filled 45 minutes, covering the Error 53 lawsuit filed last week, a possible start of filming for Apple unique programming, Apple executives on a (non-MacNN) podcast, and the normal off-topic meandering!
Forget editor Charles Martin, forget managing editor Mike Wuerthele, he's back: Malcolm Owen returns to One More Thing with a song in his heart – and a bugbear on his mind. It's to do with his enforced month-long absence and you'll hear about that in the Thingies of the Week which for once gets a bit political and a bit musical. It's complicated.
For the first One More Thing podcast of the year, we look forward a bit but unexpectedly look back an awful lot more. This week is 39 years Apple was incorporated and the philosophy it still sticks to was laid out in a memo. Also news has just come out of floppy disks from the 1980s being found in the archives of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and all these things occupy William Gallagher and Mike Wuerthele much more than the news that Samsung is going to make slightly less money this year.
