Apple anticipates 900 million dollars of tariff impact. It is equivalent to the cost of producing almost two million iPhone

by

Apple has released the financial bomb that Wall Street was waiting for: 900 million dollars in extra costs For Trump’s tariffs. The figure, although considerable, is less devastating than feared by analysts, a possible sign of the stealthy preparation that Apple had been executing for months. The backdrop. Apple has exceeded expectations with 95.4 billion dollars in income, but The commercial war Draw a complicated horizon. Actions, in fact, fell 4% after closing. Not because of the present, above the expected, but for what will arrive after June. The market was waiting for clear answers about the future from Apple, but instead received well -calculated evasive. The money trail. Apple has also reduced its sharing repurchase program by 10,000 million compared to the previous year. It is the typical financial movement that goes unnoticed between tariff holders, but betrays a defensive position: Apple is accumulating effective before the commercial storm that is coming. The company that presumed from its treasury now protects it more than ever. Between the lines. “I don’t want to predict the future because I’m not sure what will happen to tariffs,” Cook said in The subsequent call with investors. It is not very common for a CEO to expose its uncertainty, and even less if we talk about Cook, known for its meticulous planning. Perhaps it is a symptom of the real problem: neither an all Apple can foresee the turns of Trump’s tariff policy. Emergency logistics reorganization, diverting iPhone manufacture towards India And from the rest of the products to Vietnam, it is impressive, but improvised: a plan B for which the deadlines have had to be accelerated. At stake. The battle goes beyond 900 million in a quarter: it is for the future of Apple’s business model. It is the sale of premium products with margins far superior to the average of its sector manufactured in Asia. If India is 5% or 8% more expensive than China, as analysts anticipate, it could lead to a blow to profitability. And would go far beyond a quarter. It is the first act of the threat of change for the technological value chain. In Xataka | Apple loses the war against Epic.

Temu already shows the extra cost of the products in the US for tariffs and no, China is not paying as Trump said

by

Donald Trump defended his tariff plan during the presidential campaign with overwhelming phrases that they were among their followers: “It is not a middle class tax. It is a tax to another country” or “it will not cost you, it will cost another country.” The message was clear: Americans would not pay the price of their commercial war. And after his victory and arrival at the White House, that speech remained. Reality, however, is being quite different. The tariff war has already begins to move directly to the prices paid by Americans. And one of the most visible cases is that of Temu. The Chinese electronic commerce platform, which had earned a hole among the most popular applications in the country for its very low prices, has begun to apply “Import positions”Which exceed in some cases 100% of the original value of the product. Pay for the same. A concrete example helps to understand to what extent the situation has changed. According to NBC dataa pack of three sports shorts for men, which was offered for $ 23.61 with free shipping from China, ends up costing $ 56.36 once applied 32.75 dollars of import surcharge. That is, the customer pays more on tariffs than for the product itself. Bloomberg was a step further and analyzed the 14 most popular articles sent from China. The result was clear: in all cases, import taxes applied in the United States were higher than the original price of products. Temu begins to warn. Given this new reality, the platform has incorporated informative messages to alert users before finishing their purchases. “Imported articles to the United States may be subject to import positions. These charges cover all customs processes and costs, including tariffs paid to the authorities in your name,” can be read on their website. The ‘local warehouse’ label wins prominence. In response to the price increase, Temu has begun to boost the products that are already stored within the US territory. The company groups them under a specific category: “Local warehouse”. Although many of these articles are also manufactured in China, the fact that they are physically in the United States exempts them from new customs charges. Of course, this advantage has its nuances. As NBC itself has verified, some of these products marked as premises have higher prices than before, despite not being subject to surcharges. In other words, dodging the tariff does not guarantee finding a bargain. The context has changed, and that is also noticed in the local stock. The domino effect of tariffs. The price increase comes after a series of decisions that have completely changed the rules of the game. At the beginning of the month, the Trump administration raised up to 145% Tariffs at certain imports from China. Besides, has announced That as of May 2 will eliminate the exemption known as “de minimis”, which allowed most packages with less than $ 800 to enter the United States without paying taxes. Temu, between success and uncertainty. Since his arrival in the United States in 2022, Temu has conquered millions of users with a simple formula: ridiculous prices in clothing, technology and household items. Although the shipping times were long, many consumers were willing to wait if that meant paying less. That strategy, however, staggers now that the costs are rising and the tax advantage disappears. Complaints flood forums. Reddit has become one of the thermometers of discontent. Temu users Share screenshots of its shopping baskets to show the new prices, visibly inflated by import positions. Many express their frustration And they question if it will remain worth buying on the platform. Change seems to be caught by many by surprise. One of the shared captures in Reddit An increasingly uncertain commercial future. Today it is not clear how long the current tariff barriers will remain. China has responded by raising its own tariffs on certain American products Up to 125%and has described “joke” the possibility of continuing to climb. The tension not only affects companies, but also consumers who, little by little, see how the cheapest options are exhausted. For now, the products stored locally would be offering some respite. But if the situation continues, stocks could be exhausted and consumers would end up having to resort to more expensive articles, directly affected by new tariffs. The White House points to Amazon. In the midst of this pressure climate, the White House spokeswoman, Karoline Leavitt, accused the giant of electronic commerce to be “hostile and political.” The reason? An article by PunchBowl News suggested that Amazon was exploring the possibility of showing the exact cost of tariffs at the price of their products. The answer soon arrived: Amazon clarified that this idea was only considered for a specific section of its website, Amazon Haul, which competes directly with Temu, and that it was never contemplated for the main page. Showing tariffs can be seen as a challenge. The idea of ​​detailing these costs is not less: it would allow users to clearly see that, contrary to what Trump stated, the economic impact is falling on them. A warning for all players in the sector. The message to Amazon can also be understood as a signal to other electronic commerce companies. Explicit explicitly the impact of tariff policies could be interpreted as an uncomfortable political position for the White House.

The kindness with chatgpt is coming out of OpenAi. The “please” and “thanks” have an absurd cost every month

by

Probably these days, doing Scroll In social networks, you have crossed with one of those memes that say everything with an image: a man about to be eliminated by robots is saved at the last moment because, according to one of them, he “always said thanks.” A minimum, almost automatic gesture, which redeems it to machines in the dystopic future and that starts a smile in the meantime algorithm. Obviously, we do not expect robots to take control of the planet. But it is no accident that this idea has become viral. Cinema and literature have been feeding that imaginary between fascination and fear. The funny thing is that, beyond fiction, there is something real in all this: being educated with artificial intelligence (AI) is not free. Our kindness, however routine, costs money. And not precisely little. The functioning of AI is not exactly cheap. When we use an artificial intelligence chatbot, we rarely think about the consumption of resources that each of our requests implies. Chatgpt and other similar systems work thanks to large language models, also known as LLM, which operate in data centers equipped with high performance hardware, such as NVIDIA H100 GPU. The execution of these models, which is technically called inference, requires enormous processing capacity and, therefore, a considerable amount of electricity. To all this we must add the necessary investment to build and maintain these infrastructure, as well as their environmental impact. We know, for example, that many of these centers consume large volumes of water to cool the systems, since this type of computer generates heat. Very hot. There is no consensus on how much each request costs, and the figures vary according to the company. Even so, Sam Altman has given a track. The amazing cost of kindness. A few days ago, a user asked on social networks how much money Openai would have lost just because people add “please” and “thank you” to interact with their models. CEO’s response did not go unnoticed: “Dozens of millions of dollars well spent.” He did not speak of a single interaction, of course, but about the accumulation of millions of friendly messages over time. Click to see the original message in x It is curious that, despite the high energy and economic cost that this represents, Altman considers that it is a justified expense. Should we be kind to an AI? As in any other area, there are people who prefer to go directly to the point and others who choose to maintain a more careful and educated tone. This difference probably also has to do with the way each one communicates in their day to day. And in this context, kindness is not just a matter of manners. A study entitled “Should We respect LLMS? A Cross-Linguistic Study of Prompt Politeness in Academic Performance”Analyzed the role of courtesy in the indications and left some interesting conclusions. Among them, that unfortunate messages tend to generate a worse performance. Although, yes, excess courtesy does not guarantee better results. What seems clear to those who use this type of chatbots daily, and more now that they are able to learn and remember more precision, they can adapt to the user’s tone. If we want a more respectful, more coherent and a little more human interaction, we should probably start by taking that step.

He will be able to continue selling his H20 GPU for AI in China, although he has cost him a 1 million dinner per diner

by

The GPU for applications of artificial intelligence (AI) H20 is the salvation of Nvidia in China. Since the sanctions package officialized by the administration of Joe Biden entered into force November 16, 2023 This is THE ONLY SOLUTION FOR IA That Jensen Huang’s company can sell to its Chinese clients. And, in addition, during the last months it is being a real success. This chip on paper is much less capable than the most sophisticated GPUs that Nvidia currently sells. In fact, this is the reason why the US Department of Commerce has allowed its sale in China in recent months. Its limitations invited us to initially assume that their reception in this Asian country would be warm, but It has not been so at all. According to Business Intelligence semiconductorsince this chip reached the Chinese market in mid -2024 its sales have grown 50% quarter to quarter, which positions it as the most successful Nvidia product today. However, sales of The H100 GPUwhich is more powerful, “only” grows 25% quarter after quarter. In spite of everything since the end of 2024, the H20 Chip is undergoing the scrutiny of the US Department of Commerce. Jensen Huang has added one of his most unlikely successes Gina Raimondo, the Secretary of Commerce during the mandate of Joe Biden, He made this warning to Nvidia In December 2023: “If redesign a chip so that it can be used for AI, we will control it the next day.” The direct allusion to the Jensen Huang company is evident. The return to the US government of Donald Trump and his collaborators far from appeasing the panorama promised to end once and for all for the sale of the H20 GPU in China. The Nvidia business in China has resentful during the last two years as a result of the sanctions imposed by the US For Nvidia this restriction would be a very hard blow. His business in this Asian country has rented during the last two years as a result of the sanctions imposed by the US, and stop selling the GPU that during the last months He has sustained this company in China I would make a difficult wound to heal. These are the circumstances in which Jensen Huang has met with Donald Trumpand has done so with a firm purpose: to ensure that the government allows Nvidia to continue selling its H20 chip in China. The Trade Department, which under Trump’s mandate is being led by Howard Lutnick, intended According to several filters to prevent this week that this GPU continue to arrive in the country of Xi Jinping. However, against all forecast the US administration has suspended, at least temporarily, its export prohibition of this chip. This conclusion is surprising, but there are even more circumstances in which Jensen Huang has achieved his goal. And it is that the general director of Nvidia has approached this negotiation directly with Donald Trump during a dinner at the restaurant of the Mar-A-Lago tourist complex housed in Palm Beach (Florida), which is owned by the latter. It has transcended that Huang and the other diners They have paid a million dollars each for attending this dinner. But Huang has compensated. Nvidia can continue selling its H20 GPU in China. At least for the moment. Although, yes, he has pledged to invest more money in data centers for the US.

Manufacturing the iPhone 16 Pro of 256 GB in China costs 550 dollars today. With tariffs it will cost $ 850

by

The Donald Trump tariffs They are about to unleash A global commercial warand one of the most obvious consequences is clear: everything will cost more. The question, of course, is how much more, and for that we have a good example of reference: Apple’s iPhone, which takes years Trying to diversify your logistics and manufacturing. Goodbye to the iphone of 999 departure dollars? We have been for almost a decade during which Apple has always maintained the starting price of its best iPhone, which was always at $ 999. There were sections with which the firm played to maintain that bar, such as storage capacity, but That price label was consistent. Now it can stop being. Tariffs in sight. Apple manufactures a good part of the iPhone in China, and there the total tariffs will be 54%, a spectacular figure that threatens notable price increases for iPhone. Other Apple products are manufactured in others Asian countries like India (25% of tariffs), Vietnam (46%), Malaysia (24%), Thailand (37%) or Indonesia (32%). Price increases seem practically inevitable. This is hard to make an iPhone now. A study of The Wall Street Journal He points out how the iPhone 16 Pro of 256 GB has a “material bill” of 550 dollars according to data from the Wayne Lam analyst in Techinsights. If we add the assembly and test costs the cost rises to $ 580. And this is what can cost with tariffs. But if we take into account the tariffs that theoretically apply to products imported from China, the iPhone would leave 54% more expensive, which places that cost of 550 dollars in $ 850. The difference is brutal, and obviously Apple would be forced to break the tradition and raise the starting price of these devices. And there is no easy solution (and less in the short term). Dontald Trump’s apparent obsession with tariffs makes potential negotiations They probably don’t get to anything. Apple could manufacture its iPhone in the US, but you can’t do something like that from morning to night, and the firm will have to adapt its prices worldwide. And manufacturing in the US would also be much more expensive. Migrating production to the US does not guarantee that the problem is solved. According to LAM, labor to assemble the mobile that costs $ 30 could cost $ 300 in the United States. And if each component also rises in price, the final cost of the device could become prohibitive for many people. In fact, the alternative you start talking about is Iphones subscriptions. If you have to upload prices, they will upload them. Apple will not shake your pulse when rising prices. They have done it in the past. It happened in 2022 in Japan when Yen was especially weakFor example. That same year we had some that came out especially expensive for inflation. The first harmed by all these circumstances will undoubtedly use users. The iPhone as a terrifying example of everything else. The example of the iPhone manufacturing price increase is an excellent and terrifying example of what can happen with any consumption product that is manufactured in China and wants to be sold in the US. Although it seems that the problem should only affect them, it actually affects everyone: if Apple or any other firm raises the prices of their products for tariffs, it will do it proportionally in all the countries in which it sells them.

Simply reluctant to you in the following for a cost of 100 euros

by

Traveling by plane is little less than hell. It is, at least, the perception that has been pending in recent years among passengers who have to face long waiting times, exhaustive police controls, inflexible policies with luggage … and start floating the idea that, if you do not reach a flight you will have to accept a fine of 100 euros. A fine that does not exist and that Ryanair does not apply. Hell. There was a day when getting on a plane was beautiful, comfortable and aspirational. Today most already hates it. The head of the article signed last year in Xataka summarizes the discomfort of passengers when flying. The experience of a plane trip has been completely transformed over the years. Something more than half a century has been enough to transform an experience in which you could enjoy the food of “A select chefs group” to give water from the sink to the passengers. According to account MirrorThis is what happened on a Ryanair flight last year. A misunderstood democratization. The good part of the story is that more than 50 years ago, flying was synonymous with elitism, of having enough money to allow a trip in a tremendously expensive device that was within the reach of very few people. Today, our skies have been filled with airplanes but the way of traveling has also been degraded to the inconceivable. On the way we have let companies measure our luggage and play from a position of power with our time. Are you willing to pay more to travel despite Your suitcase meets the regulations? And it is not only a matter of low -cost companies. Financial Times He points out that one in four flights in the United States already arrives late and that losses of the suitcases have multiplied by five. A passenger assures that Ryanair sanctions him with 70 euros because the wheels of his suitcase exceed the maximum allowed in two centimeters Ryanair, in the eye of the hurricane. If a company has become famous for playing in the fine line between legality and the clear abuse of power is Ryanair. The company is one of the most relevant on European flights thanks to its low prices. In return, hand luggage regulations (among other things) are so strict that there are cases such as two German tourists who had to pay more than 200 euros because their suitcase exceeded the allowed size in one centimeter, according to Diario de Mallorca. Small example. The last great controversy has arrived with the conflict between the government and the airline following a fine of the Ministry of Consumer. This considers that the company’s policy to ban the plane with a hand suitcase is illegal and has imposed it A fine of more than 100 million euros. To which Ryanair has answered with the threat of get out of smaller airports of the country, seriously injuring them. But calling the consumer minister to answer the fine has been one of the last controversies of great draft but not the only one. The company has confirmed that this year they plan to delete the physical shipping card and that only the plane can be accessed using the mobile phone. Assures that they will attend to those who have broken the phone but have not responded to Xataka What happens if a passenger goes with the physical card. Facua says that this is illegal. Not everything is a bad praxis. Ryanair’s practices have led the company to be subject to multiple holders in the media. In good part of the cases because they apply demands that do not have other airlines, because their extras are much more expensive than the competition or because they are inflexible in their regulations. But there are also cases such as “Fine of 100 euros that Ryanair will make you if you are late for shipment”. This fine does not exist. It is simply an extra that the company offers to be readmitted on the next flight available. As long as those 100 extra euros are paid. That is, it is an addition to the rate known as “Flight loss charge”. It is available if the passenger arrives with less than 40 minutes to the boarding door and the doors have already been closed. You can also use it up to an hour after the air off. Strangle the language. What has been done in this case by some media and on social networks has been to strangle the language until something supposedly news is achieved. On its websiteRyanair assures that the billing counters “closely closed 40 minutes before the exit of your flight, unless you notify you otherwise before the flight exit. If you do not invoice before that period, it is possible that you will be denied the embarkation without the right to reimbursement.” Those 40 minutes are those that have served as an excuse to talk about an alleged fine that does not exist, it is simply an alternative to buying another plane ticket at the airport. Each company establishes a minimum of minutes before closing the doors. To put some examples: Flexible rates. The supply of flexible rates that allow some type of change in the paths are usual. When flying, Vueling allows a change On the flight up to two hours before the exit as long as you pay the difference with the new journey. They say you can save between 55 and 70 euros. Ryanair herself also has a rate Specific for flight change before closing its shipping doors. And it’s not just a matter of flying. In the railroad, this type of options in which they pay an extra allow the change of day and time of a train is usual until a few minutes before. It is something that offers from the BIRD until Ouigo either Iro. Also when the train has been lost (the equivalent of Ryanair’s option). In Iryo, for example, this change It … Read more

We thought we had seen everything about the futuristic city of Neom. A document has revealed what Saudi Arabia hidden: its cost

by

At the beginning of March Neom He was news again. Satellite images through Google showed that the expansion of its port had experienced a significant transformation as Part of oxagonthe “Pata” futuristic “leg” of Neom. Once again, the hyperbole flooded a project that was born exaggerated and that, perhaps, dies exactly the same. Dreams and chaos. We have treated countless times the project in Saudi Arabia. Neom is An ambitious project destined to transform the country into a global center of technology and businesses, which faces serious problems that have questioned their viability. As we will see below, despite the 50,000 million dollars already invested, uncontrolled costs, mass delays and a management model full of illusions and financial concealment have turned this megaproject into A monumental challenge For the heir prince Mohammed Bin Salman (MBS). A start to trompicones. The spectacular Inauguration event On October on the island of Sindalah, with the presence of celebrities such as Will Smith, Tom Brady and Alicia Keys, today it is seen from another perspective. The reason? One was hidden less glamorous reality: The constructions They were incompletethe budgets had been tripled and the heir prince himself was unexpectedly absent, a gesture interpreted by many as a sign of disapproval. Not just that. Weeks later, the CEO of Neom It ended up being replacedand a new executive team took control in a desperate attempt to straighten the project. Futuristic promises vs reality. No doubt, Neom was conceived as a city of the future with science fiction elements, including in equation A The Linethat pair of skyscrapers 170 km long and 500 meters high (then trimmed in the budget); Trojenathe skiing station in the desert; Oxagona kind of floating business and industrial district; either Sindalaha spectacular luxury resort in the Red Sea. However, reality It has been very different. Delays of more than three years in Sindalah, which still does not open its hotels or golf course, while Neom has to face A cut of your first phasewhich puts at risk attract the necessary population to justify the investment. To this we must add overflowing costs: It is estimated that Neom It will cost 8.8 billion dollars By 2080, more than 25 times the annual budget of the country. Plus: obvious logistics challenges, since construction in the desert lacks the necessary basic infrastructure (labor, roads, ports and electricity). The mega projected port for oxagon The financial disaster is uncovered. And so we arrive at the news of this week that has made the viability of the project jump through the air. An internal report of more than 100 pages, Reviewed by The Wall Street Journalhas revealed that the executives of Neom, with the support of the consultant McKinsey & Co., have been altering financial estimates to justify the increase in costs. In other words: the report found “evidence of deliberate manipulation” of figures to hide the real expense. In trojena, for example, when the cost is shot at 10 billion Of dollars, instead of reducing expenses, income expectations were inflated, artificially raising hotels and luxury camps rates. There are more. For example, the projected rate of a boutique hotel It went from $ 489 to $ 1,866 by night. And luxury “glamping” rose from $ 216 to $ 704 per night. McKinsey, who has charged More than 130 million dollars A year in fees for Neom, he validated these projections after another advisor refused to do so, according to the audit. The role of the prince. We already counted a few weeks ago that the project has started A monumental palace For the man behind the pharaonic project. The heir prince has been directly involved in each key decision, supervising architectural designs and promoting ideas Inspired by video games and science fiction movies. Some of its proposals include a “zero gravity” architecturethat challenges physical laws; or “El Candelabro”, a 30 -story skyscrapers suspended face down from a bridge; either Floating theaters between skyscrapers and a amusement park 300 meters high. When engineers have tried to reduce The Line height to save costs, Bin Salman He rejected the ideainsisting that the 500 meters high should be maintained. In another case, when The Line’s original architect, Thom Mayne, wanted to express concerns about excessive costs, Neom’s executives simply They blocked their access to the prince. Cuts and crisis. It has been the consequence. With the out of control costs, the Saudi government has begun to modify the deadlines and expectations. The initial construction of The Line was reduced from 10 km Just 1.5 km. A 30 km tunnel For trains it was canceled by excessive uprights. Finally, the goal of having the first functional section by 2030 has Delayed at 2034. That said, and despite the measures adopted, the prince and the Saudi Sovereign Fund They are still betting on the projectalthough they have begun to describe it as “a generational investment”, instead of an immediate growth source for Vision 2030. Time, of course, will issue a sentence, but today is approaching an example of quite unrealistic planninguncontrolled expense and lack of financial supervision. The futuristic city of the desert, conceived as the “civilizational revolution” of Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, seems to be trapped in a clash between fantasy and reality, already despite the billions of inverted millions, its success remains, at least, highly uncertain.

The 16E iPhone is the proof of the opportunity cost facing the mobile manufacturers: each millimeter is crucial

by

The renewal of the iPhone economic line has been waiting. The last entrance model that Apple launched was the iPhone Se 2022 And, after 2024 with rumors about a iPhone Se 4Apple launched a few days ago iPhone 16E. Finally names the rest of the range and, in addition, we finally have a design that does not have generations behind it. There are things that do not change, such as maintaining a single camera, and others that yes, such as New Apple C1 Modem. And something interesting is that the iPhone 16E have already undressed and we have been able to discover something that, obviously, is still curious: the enormous amount of space that the cameras steal to the battery. Naked. Apple is usually quite unclear when it talks about some data from its phones. One of the most elusive is the real size of the battery because they usually tell you about “it lasts more than x telephone of the previous generation”, and they remain so wide. That is why it is interesting to see the first ‘Teradown’ or ‘disassembly’ of the iPhone when they reach the market. The protagonist this time has been the Rewa Technology channel, since his work not only allows the drums to be taken, but to other details of the internal composition of the 16E iPhone that allow us to extract very interesting details. Before continuing, here we leave the video: C1. It is not the direct protagonist of our article, but it is evident that the component that can get the most attention of the iPhone 16E is … the modem. The reason is that Apple bought in 2019 the Intel Modems Division for the whopping of 1,000 million dollars. The goal was to break with a Qualcomm that is the one that provided (and continues to do so in the iPhone 16 and 16 pro) The iPhone modems And with which he has maintained a relationship, say, tense. After years waiting to see what the first iPhone with modem made from home was, the premiere has arrived with this 16E iPhone. This chip combines lithography in 4 and 7 nanometers and facilitates somewhat the encapsulation of the modem, leaving free space in the part of the sandwich type motherboard in which it is enclaustrated. The theory. Apart from being able to design its size and benefits, have your own modem It is a license savings for Apple (something that we do not have to notice in the final price of the device) and, above all, a better integration with the rest of the chips. This implies, theoretically, a lower consumption and, therefore, greater autonomy. Apple itself on its website Comment The following: “It reaches 26 hours of video reproduction thanks to the efficiency of iOS and our chip, which includes the modem C1.” And that is very good, but what they do not say is … that the battery has risen from level. On the left, the 16e. On the right, the iPhone 15 Huge battery. In the Rewa video we can compare the 16E iPhone with the iPhone 15 to appreciate the substantial change in the battery size only by eliminating one thing from the equation: the wide angle camera. The main chamber module also seems to have been redesigned, but beyond an interior redesign work, which allows between a larger battery is to have lost a component. Specifically, 4,005 mAh, 444 mAh larger than that of the iPhone 16. According to Apple estimates, while the iPhone 16 could play video for 22 hours, the iPhone 16E endures four more hours. Recycling, which is gerund. For the rest, Apple shows that she is a teacher when it comes to recycling components and Rewa’s video states that, in many ways, the iPhone 16E is a mixture between a iPhone 14 of which he takes screen, part of the plate, notch and the Face ID system, and an iPhone 16 with which he shares the main camera, processor, RAM. In the end, the C1 chip may help achieve greater autonomy, but having a substantially larger battery than that of its direct brothers, definitely, cannot be set aside. These ‘Teardown’ also serve to check details such as that the 16E iPhone battery has the same disassembled technology as their brothers, making it more easy to repair And, as we said, it is curious to see the amount of space that any component takes inside the smartphones, making manufacturers constantly playing the game of commitment between functions to maintain a balance.

Volkswagen already has its first electric car of 20,000 euros ready. The rest of its cost will pay it with discomfort

by

“Mobility for all.” Those are the words that Volkswagen has used to present its Volkswagen ID. Every1the concept and first advance of the cheapest electric car in the company. A utility that has marked the border of 20,000 euros as a red line. We will not see it, yes, until 2027. Before the one we now know as Volkswagen ID. 2allanother car that used a word game to convince us that we are facing cars that should popularize technology. A challenge in itself. It is a challenge because we talk about cars of 20,000 and 25,000 euros … starting. Vehicles that undoubtedly improve the experience in city but almost abandon the idea of ​​being able to leave a radius of action of about 200 kilometers if it is not folding to important discomforts. What can we expect in the coming years? A little context As we have been following in recent months, the European Union is determined to generalize the use of the electric car above any other technology. At the moment, the prohibition of using Combustion engines that are not neutral in carbon from 2035 is still underway. But we must remember that the objectives in matters of Emissions for 2030 They are very ambitious and are largely electrifying the majority of the fleet sold by manufacturers. Before, in 2027, the average emissions sold by the manufacturers between 2025 and that exercise will be forced Do not exceed 93.6 gr/km of CO2. The norm has recently been flexible because it was intended to force (and must still approve its modification) to the manufacturers complying with the aforementioned limit before the end of the year. If they would not have faced a thousand millionaire fines that are now in the air. The European Commission has been folded to MANUFACTURERS REQUIREMENTSYes, but only in part. If in this 2025 a company exceeds the volume of average emissions of 93.6 gr/km of CO2 will have to compensate in the coming years selling all the Electric and plug -in hybrids that can before 2027. And that is where electric cars of between 20,000 and 25,000 euros come into play, the great hope for companies that have pressed everything possible to avoid fines and have received an oxygen ball but will have to face a new red line in the short term again. The big doubt is: is the customer willing to buy these vehicles? Goodbye to the cheap car “for everything” … and “for all” The promise of an electric car of 20,000 euros that is defined as propitious “for anyone” is, in 2025, an ambitious attempt. At least, as we say, with the eyes of 2025 because it is possible that in a few years we have become accustomed to something completely different. It is something that should happen if you want to sell as churros cars like Volkswagen’s. The German company has given few technical details but A 95 hp electric car progresseslimited to 130 km/hy 250 kilometers of autonomy According to WLTP cycle. If those latest data are confirmed, we can expect a road exit to force us to stop every 170-180 kilometers. Of course, they are estimates based on the experience that gives us to try electric vehicles of all kinds. At the moment, as a general rule, at a sustained speed of 120 km/h We can expect a drop of 25-30% in the estimate presented according to the WLTP cycle. We speak, of course, to leave the drums dry. If we estimate 25% less electric autonomy, we talk about traveling 200 kilometers from the pull but If we don’t want shocks We will have to stop in a charger a little earlier. Is that a problem? It depends for those who but, with most of the people with whom I speak, yes. And it is nothing more than a sensation but it seems difficult to sell the benefits of an electric car with an autonomy of 200 kilometers on open road if the potential customer has to spend at least 20,000 euros. Or know very well what is carried or the most normal thing is that it rejects it. Why choose an electric car of 20,000 euros … Although it sounds difficult to believe, a 20,000 euros car with a 250 -kilometer WLTP autonomy can be a large purchase as the only car if the customer knows what he takes. Yes, I am convinced and these are the reasons. The ideal client would be that person who makes more than 40 or 50 kilometers on a day to day And he has a place to load the car. If you usually do not make long trips (one or two a year) you can assume the discomforts of stopping every 180 kilometers when you see the money that has been saved at the end of the month. To give an example, assuming a consumption of 15 kWh/100 km in city and a 10 cents/kWh recharge cost (nothing especially cheap in a home rate) will spend 1.5 euros per 100 kilometers traveled. If 250 kilometers between Monday and Friday, the cost of the week in energy will not reach 4 euros. On the contrary, a hybrid that, on average, makes a consumption of 5 l/100 km in the city, we will be talking about an expense of nine euros per 100 kilometers. Those same 250 kilometers between Monday and Friday increase to 22.5 euros. Every week the driver of an electric car with these figures is saving 18.5 euros. Every month we talk about 74 euros. A year are almost 900 euros. Here We are not counting the cost of maintenance (Change of oils, filters, mobile parts of the combustion engine …), so the expected savings is greater. In addition, we are not contemplating the comfort in comfort that an electric car is in a day -to -day basis. This part is purely subjective but the absence of noise, vibrations and the immediate delivery of the motor torque (although … Read more

Spain has a plan to become the European green hydrogen leader. And it will cost us 1,214 million euros

by

With the corridor of H2Med almost run by A recent conflicthe First Iberian Price Index From established renewable hydrogen and a recent millionaire injection of European funds, Spain has everything to emerge as a leader in this sector. The ambition has come to stay. Injection of funds. The Government of Spain has announced which will allocate 1,214 million euros of the Newgeneu funds to seven projects located in Aragon, Andalusia, Castilla y León, Cataluña and Galicia to develop hydrogen valleys. These European aid will be distributed among green hydrogen production and distribution projects to decarbonize several energy and industrial sectors, under the H2 Valles program. The companies that are behind the projects are Moeve, Enagás, Reolum, Repsol, Ric Energy, Capital Energy, Fertiberia or Ercros, among others. The goal. In a press release, the vice president and minister for ecological transition, Sara Aagesen, He has highlighted that “it is a call for strategic relevance that advances on the decarbonization agenda.” Requirements such as the purchase commitment of at least 60% of production by industrial consumers have been established. The Institute for Diversification and Saving of Energy (IDAE), attached to the miteco, manages this line of incentives to integrate hydrogen into the energy mix and reduce CO2 emissions. Spain is consuming 500,000 tons per year of Gray hydrogen (of fossil origin), so this new form of hydrogen will help change to be dynamic. Hydrogen valleys. The seven selected projects will add 2,278 MW of electrolysis power for the production of renewable hydrogen in 11 facilities, since the bases of the call allow more than one cluster site if the distance between them is less than 100 km. These plants will use renewable energy (solar and wind) to generate green hydrogen, and many will be integrated with ammonia or ammonia facilities fertilizers to reduce industrial emissions. In addition, 90% of electrolyzers will be manufactured in Europe and most promoters They have opted by alkaline electrolysis technology, considered efficient and scalable. Aid distribution. The distribution of European funds is carried out prioritizing projects with greater impact. Starting with the community with the largest renewable cluster: Aragon, which will receive 384 million euros for two hydrogen valleys, one of them shared with Catalonia. They are followed by Andalusia with 304 million, Castilla y León with 259 million, Galicia with 170 million and Catalonia with 98 million. In addition, three of them will be located in municipalities with demographic challenges, such as Andorra in Teruel and Cubillos del Sil and Robla both in the province of León. All this to promote local economic development and job creation in these places where there is less industrial activity. It should be added that the initial budget of 1,200 million, framed on the Repower EU agenda of the recovery, transformation and resilience (PRTR) plan (PRTR) was extended to an additional 10%, reaching the current amount of 1,214 million euros. Horizon 2030. The development of these projects seeks to consolidate an advanced green hydrogen infrastructure so that within five years be integrated into sectors such as industry, aviation and maritime transport. Spain has invested more than 3,100 million euros in the last two years to consolidate its position in the green hydrogen sector in Europe.
