It was a volatile morning for Apple’s stock, which quickly had a $17 swing during intraday trading.

Apple shares opened at $177.24 today, as the company’s stock price has continued to drop since U.S. President Donald Trump last week announced steep new tariffs. The tariffs will significantly impact Apple, which still assembles the majority of iPhones and many other devices in China, which is facing a 54% tariff starting April 9.

About an hour into the trading session, however, Apple’s stock briefly surged to as high as $194.14, following reports that the Trump administration was considering a 90-day pause on tariffs, in all countries except China. A spokesperson for the Trump administration later described that claim as “fake news,” resulting in Apple’s stock plunging below $180 again. As of writing, shares are trading around the $181 mark.

Many stocks have plummeted since Trump’s announcement, amid fears of a prolonged trade war and economic downturn. Apple’s stock price has dropped nearly 20% since closing at $223.89 last Wednesday. Trump threatened China with even higher tariffs today, adding to the uncertainty that has sent shockwaves through global markets.

Apple has yet to publicly comment on the tariffs, as customers fear that the price of iPhones and other devices may eventually increase.

Poco already launched the F7 Pro and F7 Ultra, and you may have been wondering whether they will be joined by a ‘vanilla’ F7 model. The answer is now a very clear yes, as the F7 has just been certified for sale in India by BIS. As you’d expect from the naming convention, this will be lower-end than both the Pro and the Ultra. The F7 is rumored to be a rebranded Redmi Turbo 4 Pro, which should become official in China either this month or in May. That device is expected to feature a 6.83-inch flat OLED LTPS screen with “1.5K” resolution and 120 Hz refresh rate, the Snapdragon 8s Gen…

Honor is launching a new range of mid-range smartphones called Power. The Power range will complement the high-end Magic line. This has been rumored for a while now, and today the brand has officially unveiled the announcement date for the first Honor Power device(s): April 15. The first Honor Power smartphone has been rumored to sport an insane 8,000 mAh battery, though some of the more recent rumors claim we should “only” expect 7,800 mAh, as if that isn’t humongous compared to any other smartphone anyway. The Power will apparently be powered by a Snapdragon 7 series chipset,…

Apple today released a new app for managing immersive videos on a Mac.

Apple Immersive Videos are 3D videos recorded in 8K resolution, with a 180-degree field of view and Spatial Audio. For example, recent performances by singer The Weeknd and heavy metal band Metallica are available in the format.

The new Apple Immersive Video Utility app allows you to import, organize, package, and review Apple Immersive Video files on a Mac. Then, you can connect one or more Vision Pro devices and review the immersive videos. For larger groups, Apple says there is a synchronized playback option for multi-device viewing sessions.

Apple Immersive Video Utility is available for free in the App Store for both macOS and visionOS, but it is currently limited to U.S. English.

Here is the complete App Store description for the app:

Apple Immersive Video Utility for macOS allows you to import, organize, package, and review Apple Immersive Video media on your Mac. Combined with Apple Immersive Video Utility for visionOS, you can connect and review Apple Immersive Video on Apple Vision Pro.

Import and Manage Immersive Video Files

Create playlists to sort, organize, and search the Apple Immersive Video files in your library.

Share Your Apple Immersive Videos

Share your Immersive Videos with Vision Pro users with file types that are simple to download and import.

The images above are for illustrative purposes. You can view Experience Immersive, Prehistoric Planet Immersive, Adventure, Wild Life, and other Apple Immersive Video movies and series where Apple Vision Pro is available.

Apple Immersive Video Utility is available in U.S. English.

Apple Immersive Video Utility est disponible en anglais (États-Unis).

Following the Trump administration’s “Liberation Day” tariffs, OEMs like Apple are looking into initiatives to lessen the blow to consumers with the inevitable price hikes. China, where the bulk of iPhones are assembled, is hit with a combined 54% tariff, India faces a 26% levy, while all goods from Vietnam will get a 46% import fee upon entering the U.S. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Cupertino has been stockpiling inventory of iPhones, Macs, and other products in the U.S. for months in anticipation of the new tariffs. The newly announced levies which go into effect on April 9 will…
