ban octopus farms worldwide

March 11, 2026 by usatoday24

On February 25, Mexico presented a reform of federal law of fishing to prohibit cephalopod farms throughout the national territory. It may seem strange, but when Maki Esther Ortiz Dominguez stood in front of the Senate of the Republic and defended the moratorium on aquaculture farming of octopuses, squid and cuttlefish, what she said made sense. Not only is it that they are a terribly difficult business, it is that there is more than firm evidence (always according to the senator) about the enormous problems of cannibalism and risks to public health that these farms bring. So much so that Mexico is not alone. Chili approved a similar ban in October 2025 and seven US states also have it. And it’s curious because what is being banned, in reality, doesn’t even exist on a commercial scale. The world (also Spain) is trying to prohibit something that is not being done. Which does not mean that it is not being tried. In fact, the Mexican initiative to prohibit “the reproduction, pre-fattening and fattening of cephalopods” in captivity is based on data from the Sisal facilities (Yucatán)the only farm of this type that is operational on the entire American continent. There, with the collaboration of UNAM, they have been trying to make octopus fish farms viable for 12 years. AND the data is terrible: mortality rates higher than 52%, 30% of deaths attributable to cannibalism, extremely inefficient conversion rates (three kilos of fish are needed to produce one kilo of octopus) and systematic mistreatment of these species that, if that were not enough, are considered especially intelligent. Especially intelligent? And ‘sentient’: in recent years, there has been no shortage of statements on the subject (Cambridge, 2012 and New York, 2024); but there is also extensive bibliographical reviews which point out that when we talk about cephalopods, we are talking about animals that are cognitively much closer to us. And that, of course, has generated consequences. In the same way as the publication of ‘Animal Liberation‘ contributed to creating the animal rights movement, all this research on octopuses has led to an unprecedented legislative trend. “Unprecedented” because, perhaps for the first time, the legislation comes before farms are a reality beyond experimental centers. And it’s coming very quickly: this regulatory wave has come together in a couple of years. And who would want farmed octopus? The simple answer is everyone. If the resulting problems are not made visible and affordable cephalopods are available, everyone will eat farmed octopus in a few years. Above all, because they are running out. At least in Spain, there is a whole combination of factors that They have made the octopus migrate north. In Spain, in fact, a proposal in this regard was already presented in the summer of 2025 and the European Parliament discussed the issue in December of the same year. It’s a matter of time, it seems. And, for now, Mexico and Chile are in the lead. Image | Milada Vigerova In Xataka | England is experiencing an unprecedented invasion. The problem is that they are octopuses, and they are devouring everything they can find.

For decades, Spain has been oblivious to the boom of evangelical churches worldwide. Until they arrived in Madrid

September 23, 2025 by usatoday24

They do not run good times for the Catholic Church, which dealt with a Vocations collapse and one clear loss of practitioners. However, others that are going better. As the Latin American community has gained presence In the Madrid region it has also been done by the Evangelical Church, increasingly present in its streets and with greater influence. Both, in fact, that there are those who calculate that they are opening places of worship to A past speed. Your data are of course amazing. What’s happening? That evangelical faith is extending strongly in Spain. And specially for the Community of Madrid, where he has been experiencing a real boom for years that can easily be traced in two areas: hemeroteca, who have been echoing of the trend; And on the streets (and polygons) of certain districts, which have seen how apartments, commercial bass or even old industrial workshops and ships were reconverted in places of worship. Are there data to try it? Yes. The observatory of religious pluralism in Spain leaves two interesting. The first is that, according to the registration available right now on its website, in the Community of Madrid there are 834 places dedicated to evangelical cult. The second is that, with that figure, the evangelists are (from afar) the minority confession with more presence in the region. They monopolize more than 69% of the totalquite above the Muslim, which barely reaches 12%. The Observatory itself points out that its data starts from a directory of places of worship that was last updated in October 2021. To have a more complete photograph it arrives with a look at the local press. In August The newspaper dedicated A wide report to the expansion of the evangelical temples in Madrid that spoke of the religion also passed the 800 centers of worship, which even exceeds the number of Catholic parishes, 702. How does it expand? At a surprising speed. Especially if we take into account that it coincides with a moment of weakness of the Catholic Church, marked by A serious vocations crisis that has forced him to pull imagination to maintain temples operations located in the rural. According to The data published yesterday by The countryover the last five years the Madrid region has seen how places of evangelist worship opened at a record rate: one every four days. The proliferation of this kind of temples is not in any exclusive case of the capital. The Observatory reveals that there are also hundreds and hundreds distributed throughout the rest of the country, especially in Catalonia, Andalusia and the Valencian Community. The Board of Directors of the Agency He attributes themrespectively, 984 and 731 and 495. In all Spain Newtral calculates 4,653 distributed for just over 800 municipalities. What reveals Madrid? Several things. Especially the force with which the cult expands and where it does. Although the number of temples has grown clearly in the region, it has not done so homogeneously. While the most central district brings together 21 temples, in Carabanchel we find almost 90, which has made some practitioners refer to it as the “evangelical gold mile.” The Observatory Board of religious pluralism shows that confession also has A rather relevant community Distributed by Alcalá de Henares, Móstoles, Fuenlabrada, Parla, Torrejón de Ardoz, Leganés or Getafe. Any of these locations has dozens of points of worship. What is the reason? There is not one. But the phenomenon coincides with another clear trend: the increase in the population of Latin American origin in Madrid. Last year the region lived a historical milestone when overcoming the symbolic barrier of the Million residents born in Spanish -speaking countries. The data is relevant because it confirms the exponential increase that the community has experienced in recent years, after successive migratory waves. As a reference, at the beginning of this century they barely went from 81,500. Beyond its evolution, it imports (and much) the weight that Americans have reached within Madrid’s society, already representing one in seven population. Why is it important? Because although Catholicism still has a key weight in Latin America, Protestantism and more specifically evangelism (and the Pentecostal movement) movement) has gained strength On the other side of the Atlantic. Upon arriving in Spain, immigrants not only retain the faith they professed in their countries, but helps them preserve their identity and establish ties. “They bring practices, leaders and networks already consolidated in origin that are reproduced in neighborhoods and municipalities where they settle, and find in the Pentecostal churches a space to maintain the identity community,” reflects the sociologist Paola García in A study On the phenomenon published in 2010. Religion abounds, allows them to “maintain identity continuity and, at the same time, mitigate the loneliness and vulnerability of the migratory process.” Are they just temples? No. They are anchor points. And its function goes beyond religious celebrations. They also serve as a space for socialization and support, which partly explains how temples They have expandedoccupying low, old workshops and even ships that come to rent by thousands of euros. “It is a form of social reconstruction that explains why Pentecostalism has found in Latin American flows a conducive land to grow,” he abounds. In Spain they live 1.5 million of people who declare themselves evangelists: to represent 0.2% of the population in 98 became 2% in 2018. Is there anything more than religion? Yes. Although the places of worship have a valuable social function and it is not an exclusive problem of evangelism, there are those who question the approach of some congregations from Latin America that are implanted in Europe. “It is difficult to know when we are talking about an evangelical church and when of a sect”, duck Luis Santamaría del Río, Ries expert, in an essay on the matter published in 2023 cited by The country. The researcher remember that in Spain the groups meet the same population as on the other side of the Atlantic, but “with a different purchasing power.” … Read more

This map exposes the most popular coffee in each country. Capuchino is the undisputed winner worldwide

September 20, 2025 by usatoday24

On October 1, World Coffee Day will be held. It has no importance for those who already celebrate that ephemeris every day (and more knowing what it is Good for health), but it is the date chosen by the International Coffee Organization to pay tribute to this universal drink (and baptized by Clemente VIII) and value both the situation of coffee growers such as fair trade networks and sustainable practices. Not surprisingly, coffee is the second most consumed drink in the world only behind the water, and something very interesting is to know the coffee tastes of each of the countries. The reason? Although there are two main coffee varieties –The robust and the Arabica-, there are many preparations and machines that give very different results. And this map illustrates it perfectly: Prepared by Coffenessin it we can see what kind of elaboration is most present in the day -to -day life of many of us. Among all, the star is the cappuccinoand by far: according to the map, It is the preferred preparation of 24 countriesamong which is Spain. He is loved in much of Europe, in fact, and a lot of distance from the espresso. This elaboration, stronger and concentrated, is the second most popular. 14 countries, among which are the United States or Germany, prefer this elaboration that causes a sensation for the fascination they generate, on occasion, the necessary machines for their preparation. They are increasingly economical and with more functions -all in one like the Ninja Luxe that we analyzed a few months ago They facilitate things very much- and, although it may shock that of taking an espresso, the truth is that … it is rich. Why can it collide? Because, As Spaniards, an espresso is ‘complicated’ of drinking. The reason is that, if we ask for a coffee alone in a cafeteria that does not have Specialty coffeethe most normal is that We are served a torrefactand it is a tremendously bitter and required coffee, which is why it needs more sugar than it already has naturally with the aim of masking the taste. If specialty coffee is used, although it is still strong, it is much better. The third most popular elaboration is filter coffee, and here I am surprised that it is not the most consumed in the United States, the place of the famous ‘office coffee’ and that of the ‘dinners’. It is popular in 12 countries, including South Africa, United Arab Emirates or Bulgaria. And what about Italy? Well, no matter how much coffee tradition they have, in Italy they don’t have coffee. Not yet, at leastsince tradition comes from the title process and some of the most famous elaborations, being one of them, precisely that of American coffee. Because yes, it was not invented in the United States, but for Italian hoteliers that, during the Second World WarThey reduced the espresso coffee with water to be the taste of American soldiers. According to Coffeness, it is the most popular in Italy, but also in South Korea, Argentina, Costa Rica or Uruguay. In Latin America, basically. Turkish coffee is thick and the most attached to a specific place Then there are peculiarities, such as the Irish coffee that conques Ireland, the Turkish coffee they only want in Türkiye, Where is Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanityor the espresso macchiato, which apart from a Stera of Eurovisionis the favorite in Australia, Honduras or the United Kingdom. Where is China? I ask that too, since China in recent years has become One of the main players in the coffee market worldwide. The drink has gone from insignificant to cause fury, so much that they are opening many coffee shops in large cities And it is something that has even become In a claim so that companies like Huawei attract foreign workers. The problem is where they have taken the data from Coffeness, and it is the reason why, although nice and may be very right, We are not facing a rigorous study or anything like that: They clarify that they are based on a search data analysis on Google, so although far from offering definitive data, they can determine what are the most popular coffee elaborations in many countries. And there is the matter: China and its great blockade They enter the equation, preventing that data can be collected. But well, apart from rigor, the results ‘quad’ with what, in many cases, we could expect. And it does not surprise me a little that the most popular elaboration is my dear capuccino.

direct signal for smartphones worldwide

September 18, 2025 by usatoday24

Spacex closed a few days ago the greatest purchase of its history. It has nothing to do with rockets, or spacecraft, but it paves the way for Starlink not to leave any corner of the earth without coverage. A little context. On September 8, Spacex announced an agreement which shake again the foundations of the satellite industry: the purchase of the entire spectrum of the band S of Echostar in the United States and its global satellite mobile service licenses. The operation, valued at 17,000 million dollars, is astronomical because it does not seek a short -term investment return, but the strategic domain of the market. With this play, Spacex acquires the necessary lane for its Direct To Cell Cell Call Service, but also eliminates its main power competitor from a strokewhich was the echostar. Charlie Ergen’s company had been accumulating this valuable spectrum for decades without displaying its own network, and now becomes the fuel of Elon Musk’s plans. A giant jump. The current constellation Starlink Direct to Cell satellites has more than 600 satellites in orbit that offer 4G coverage. The Spacex plan is to use its frequencies newly acquired to move to the next level. The next generation of Direct To Cell satellites promises to multiply the current capacity by 100 thanks to the new spectrum and 5G protocols. In practice, this should translate into the total elimination of dead areas: provided you can see the sky you will have coverage, either from your land operator or Starlink. Buy spectrum to eliminate competition. According to an analysis by the specialized consultant TMF Associates, the purchase is designed To corner other competitors such as Ast Spacemobile or the alliance between Apple and Globalstar, forcing them to join Spacex or be left behind. In a characteristic turn of the character, Elon Musk responded to the analysis stating that “almost everything in this article is wrong”, which leaves a cloud of uncertainty about the finest details of the strategy, but not on its impact. Starship, the piece that was missing in the puzzle. Having the best spectrum in the world does not serve to offer global coverage to millions of customers if you can’t launch many Satellites And this is where the second key piece comes in: Starship. After a series of failed test flights, the tenth launch of the world’s largest rocket managed to display a load for the first time. August 26, Starship not only reached space and survived an infernal reentrybut he fulfilled a key mission for the future of Starlink: he successfully displayed a payload. Using a mechanism that Spacex compares with fish candy dispensers, the ship released eight Starlink satellite simulators, which shows that it is already ready to self -financing in the short term. This milestone is crucial. Starship will be the vehicle in charge of launching the new generation Starlink V3 satellites, and the difference in capacity with the Falcon 9 is abysmal: while a Falcon 9 rocket can put into orbit about 22 satellites V2 mini, Starship is expected to deploy much larger batches. Not only more satellites, but much better. The last key of the plan is the technological evolution of Starlink satellites themselves. Starship will not only allow more satellites, but much larger and more capable satellites. According to Spacex herself, a single starship launch with satellites V3 will add 60 tbps capacity to the networkmore than 20 times which achieves a Falcon 9 today. The Starlink V3 also involve an engineering leap, especially because of their navigability. They incorporate new generation hall argon propellers such as the one seen in the header image. According to A SPACEX managerThey destroy the specifications of the already impressive current thrusters and allow more efficient orbital maneuvers. A constellation to dominate them all. Spacex’s strategy is built on a practically unattainable basis by competition. The Starlink Broadband Network has More than 8,300 satellites in orbitmore than all other constellations together. Broadband Internet service offers discharge speeds of 200 Mbps and latencies of 25 milliseconds in the United States, with a total capacity of almost 450 Tbps. And although third generation satellites (V3) will not reach until 2026the Spacex production machine does not stop. The future of Spacex. But the vision of the future goes even further. Spacex recently revealed A new “25 Gbps” mini-raser that will be integrated into its satellites. This technology not only serves for Starlink to communicate with each other creating a mesh in space, but will allow other ships, satellites or space stations to connect directly to the Starlink network as if it were an orbital internet provider. With the purchase of the ideal spectrum, a heavy launching vehicle and a satellite technology that advances at a dizzying pace, Starlink’s goal of eradicating dead the dead coverage areas on Earth has ceased to be a chimera to become an engineering plan in full execution. The world is about to become much smaller. Image | Spacex

Microsoft 365 will have cheaper versions worldwide. It is the result of the antitrust pressure of the European Commission

September 13, 2025 by usatoday24

Soon, many Microsoft Office customers worldwide can access cheaper subscriptions. It is not a promotion or isolated commercial gesture, but the result of years of Brussels. Microsoft has accepted change your strategy to close an antitrust investigation I could cost him expensive. With this agreement, the company dodges a possible fine and the European Commission reinforces its image as guardian of the rules that govern the digital market. The European Commission confirmed that Microsoft must maintain versions of Office 365 and Microsoft 365 without Teamsyour communication tool, at a clearly lower price compared to the editions that include it. These conditions will be in force for at least seven years and will be complemented with interoperability and data portability commitments for a decade. The American company has indicated that it will implement changes globally. Microsoft undertakes to lower prices and open its ecosystem The origin of this pulse dates back to July 2020, When Slack denounced Microsoft to the European Commission For packaging Teams within Office, claiming that it made it difficult for users to choose alternatives. Three years later, Brussels opened a formal investigation To evaluate whether this practice was abuse of dominant position in the collaborative software market. The case focused on the impact of Teams integration on competitors such as Slack and other business communication platforms. To reduce the pressure, Microsoft began taking action before a resolution arrived. In October 2023 he disaggregated Teams of his suites for commercial clients in the European and Switzerland Economic Space, with lower prices for those who chose not to include the tool. In April 2024 he extended this policy to the rest of the world, withdrawing for new business clients the traditional editions with Teams and introducing “without teams” plans along with an independent license. These steps sought to show good regulatory will and simplify the catalog for multinational companies, but did not suffice to close the file. With the agreement announced this month, the measures become mandatory and more ambitious. Microsoft must guarantee a significant price difference and allow customers to migrate to versions without teams without penalties. It should be noted that to benefit from these sales, organizations must hire the new plans or make the change to renew subscriptions; There will be no automatic discounts for those who maintain current contracts. It also undertakes to facilitate that rival services integrate Office applications into their platforms and that users export Teams data to other tools, reducing change barriers. This valued the measure, Teresa Ribera, executive vice president of the European Commission for the clean, fair and competitive transition: “With today’s decision, we make binding for seven years or more Microsoft’s commitments to end their linking practices that could be preventing their competitors effectively competing with Teams. Therefore, today’s decision opens the competition in this crucial market and guarantees that companies can freely choose the communication and collaboration product that best suits their needs.” Microsoft published concrete examples of prices that will enter vigor in November this year: In Enterprise plans, the difference will be up to 8 euros per user per month; In the Business Standard and Premium plans, it will be around 3 euros. Of course, domestic users and students will not see changes: their subscriptions of Microsoft 365 Personal or family did not include payment teams and are not affected by the new framework. In any case, this episode arrives at a time where the commission has intensified its scrutiny about large technological in recent years, with multimillionaire sanctions to companies such as Google, which recently imposed a fine of 2,950 million euros. However, Brussels face a diplomatic challenge: the US president Donald Trump has criticized these measuresthreatening to activate section 301 of the Commerce Law as a response.

The industrial paradox that has put worldwide trade to the limit

August 3, 2025 by usatoday24

In Europe, steel costs less than a bottle of water. In the United States, it costs almost double if it comes from abroad. And in China, it produces so much that the world no longer knows what to do with it. According to estimates by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), The excess world capacity will reach 721 million tons within two years. And no one is willing to stop. Steel that is left over. The steel industry lives a perfect storm: global overproduction, state subsidies, fall in internal demand in China and protectionist policies. In a report for the New York Times They have explained it through the Tata Steel plant in Ijmuiden (Netherlands), one of the most advanced in Europe. It manufactures steel on commission for high precision applications. Even so, the company announced 1,600 layoffs this spring, while 18,000 jobs were cut throughout the European Union and nine million tons of capacity were closed in 2024. The background reason, As explained by the same mediumis the avalanche of cheap steel from China, which manufactures more than the rest of the combined world. This overproduction, fueled by government support and lower environmental standards, has flooded global markets, forcing traditionally non -exporting countries such as South Korea and Japan to seek buyers desperately. A scale problem. Steel is much more than an industrial product. As He remembered for the New York environment Atlantic Council researcher Elisabeth Braw, steel is one of the few goods that every country wishes to have “in any circumstance.” Its use ranges from food cans and forks to war tanks and combat planes. However, there is another aspect to take into account: steel pollutes. As We have already explained in Xatakaeach ton produced emits two tons of CO₂, which is equivalent to 7% of global emissions. This makes steel an obstacle to achieving climatic objectives. The paradox is clear: the world needs less steel, but nobody wants to be the first to close ovens. The industry is too big to abandon it, but too inefficient to sustain it as it is. This generates a vicious circle between price drop, minimum margins, lack of investment in clean technologies and greater pollution. The King of Steel. China is not only the largest world producer of steel, but also exerts a disproportionate influence on the global market. It produces more than the rest of the combined planet, largely thanks to a more lax state and environmental regulations system than in the West. According to data from the National Statistics Office cited by BloombergChinese production registered in June the greatest fall in ten months, due to adjustments in the capacity and government pressure to contain internal competition. Even so, more than 60 % of Chinese gatherings are already profitable, a notable leap compared to 30 % of just a year ago, driven by the rebound in demand in sectors such as automotive, machinery and, above all, exports. These exports have continued to grow despite international tariffs and commercial tensions, flooding markets in Europe, Asia and Africa with steel at dumping prices. This dynamic has reduced the margins of Western steel and left them without sufficient resources to invest in low carbon technologies, a problem that the OECD considers a critical obstacle to achieve the climatic objectives. With an still weak internal consumption for the real estate crisis, Beijing seems to bet more and more to export its excess steel as an economic influence tool, which multiplies clashes with the United States and Europe. Another power wants to face. The United States also wants to regain control of its industry. In January 2025, then President Joe Biden blocked the purchase of Us Steel by the Japanese Nippon Steel, claiming national security motifs. The decision, backed even by Donald Trump and by the unions in the sector, generated diplomatic discomfort in Tokyo and tensed the relationship with one of its main strategic allies. Six months later, that same logic translates into terrain conversions. In an article for The Washington Post They have detailed as in Weircon (Western Virginia), a city forged by the steel, the company Form Energy has occupied part of the vacuum left by the closure of the local steelter, hiring more than 400 workers – many of them extrabajadores of the steel – to manufacture energy storage batteries. Although initially driven by federal subsidies, the initiative has even survived the cuts of the Trump administration, and represents an attempt to reindustrialize without fully renouncing the steel legacy. The message is clear: the United States does not want to let your steel, your industrial narrative, fall into foreign hands. And Europe is trapped. In all this triangle, Europe loses ground, trapped Between the Chinese dumping and Tariff hostility of his Atlantic ally. And now, in addition, committed to buying massive amounts of fossil fuels to avoid major sanctions. Being more concrete, Europe has some of the most advanced gaits in the world, such as the Tata Steel plant in Ijmuiden, the Netherlands, which manufactures specialized steel for batteries and high -end cars. However, he is facing a perfect storm: high energy costs, strict environmental standards, unfair competition and political pressure. Despite attempts to modernize – like Tata’s plan to go to hydrogen – the necessary investment is counted in billions. In addition, American tariffs have hindered European exports, just when block countries need income to finance ecological transition. As for the United Kingdom, the government has had to intervene high ovens and subsidize plants to avoid massive closures. And in Germany, European industrial bastion, the approaches face the largest decline in decades, with a 11.6 % drop in production during the first half of 2025, According to The New York Times. Where does steel go? The steel faces a crossroads: between the industrialization of the twentieth century and the ecological demands of the 21st century. The only sustainable output seems to be green steel. Companies such as Swedish SSAB have already begun to produce it through … Read more

Apple led the wearables worldwide. Now is third after two Chinese manufacturers

June 30, 2025 by usatoday24

Chinese manufacturers have achieved what seemed impossible: to dethrone Apple in a category that they did not invent, but they did define. He Apple Watch The physical standard to be followed by the rest has been and still largely, but it is no longer the first in market share after many moons being … and neither the second. After the stage in which Xiaomi advanced him in quota, now he has also done so The new huawei, which does not compete but creates its parallel reality After the sanctions that forced him to reinvent himself. He is going well. Why is it important. Huawei leads the global market of Wearable In the first quarter of 2025 with 10 million units sold, followed by Xiaomi with 8.7 million. Apple is relegated to third place with 7 million sales, according to data from IDC. The loss of leadership – from 1 to 2 and 2 to 3 – marks a turning point for a company that dominates this segment from The launch of Apple Watch in 2014. For years, Apple not only sold more smart watches, but also staying with most of the benefits of the sector. Now that last continues, but the unitary majority no longer has … … While it is true that this is not usually Apple’s game: as with mobile phones, prioritizes capillarity benefits. The context. The secret of Chinese success is based on a devastating price strategy. While the Apple Watch becomes more basic It costs about 250 euros, Xiaomi sells its Smart Band 10 For less than 50 euros and Huawei has models from 50 euros. This price difference is not accidental. Chinese manufacturers have opted to democratize technology Wearablecarrying basic health monitoring and fitness functions to population segments that would never be considered to spend 300 euros on a clock. In figures. Huawei controls 21.9% of the global body of body devices, rising from 17% of the previous year. Xiaomi reaches 19% compared to 14.7% of 2024. Apple stays at 15.5%, although it has grown since 12.5% last year. The growth of the sector has been 10.5% year -on -year, with 45.6 million units sold worldwide in the first quarter. China represents 17.6 million of these sales, a spectacular growth of 37.6%. Yes, but. Apple maintains important advantages that sales figures do not reflect. Keep dominating in profitability, keeping most of the benefits of the sector despite selling fewer units. In addition, Apple Watch works exclusively with iPhone, which limits its potential market but guarantees a closed and very profitable ecosystem. Apple Watch users They are usually more likely to spend money In accessories and applications. After all, they are the same as they do from the iPhone. The threat. For Apple, this loss of quota represents more than a change of position. Chinese manufacturers have shown that they can offer 80% of the functionality for 20% of the price, an irresistible equation for many customers. The Chinese strategy is not limited to being cheap. Huawei has launched premium models like the Watch Ultimatewhich exceeds 1,000 euros, competing directly with Apple’s most expensive versions. Xiaomi, meanwhile, has reasonably improved design and benefits of its basic models. And now what. If Apple prioritizes recovering fee, you can try to compete in fee, risking your margin. But that is not Apple’s own. Its most common movement is to worry only about its own needle and whether the segment grows or not. If sales grow, it will hardly worry that other manufacturers sell more devices at a much lower price. If sales fall, their concerns will focus on what they can do to alleviate it. Including check where these sales go, if other manufacturers, to traditional watches or simply a longer update cycle. In Xataka | After almost a decade with the Apple Watch I have spent a Garmin.
