Tech Across the Globe

Apple's mixed results: Investors cheered Apple's forecast that revenue may reach the mid-single digits in the current quarter, but holiday sales of iPhones and revenue from China fell short of expectations. 

Chip highs: Samsung won approval to supply high-bandwidth memory chips to Nvidia, the leading supplier of processors to power artificial intelligence workloads.

Chip lows: STMicroelectronics, a chipmaker that supplies Apple and Tesla, plunged to its lowest share price since 2020 when it gave a weak sales forecast for the current quarter and said it wouldn't give an outlook for the year.

Revalued

A new funding round has tripled within one year the value of AI startup ElevenLabs to $3.3 billion. The company, which uses AI to replicate voices, raised $180 million in the round, co-led by Andreessen Horowitz and Iconiq Growth.

The White House is opening the doors of its press briefing room to podcasters, social media influencers and other nontraditional journalists, a move cheered by many of the podcasters who backed US President Donald Trump in his election bid, writes Ashley Carmen in this week's Soundbite. A seat in the room serves as something like free marketing for the group, which promotes authenticity above all, she writes. For more from Ashley, subscribe here.
