Tech Shockwaves: Apple’s “iPhone Air” Tease, SpaceX’s $17B Spectrum Deal & More (Sept 8–9, 2025)

Date: September 8, 2025 · Source: Reuters reuters.comSummary: On the eve of Apple’s fall product launch, analysts tempered expectations for any groundbreaking iPhone features, noting Apple’s rivals have leapfrogged in AI features reuters.com.

Aside from the Air, Apple is expected to announce modest camera and chip upgrades for the iPhone 17 series, and possibly new Apple Watch models, as it contends with competition embedding AI smarts into devices reuters.com reuters.com.

The result is the new TH-Carbonspring oscillator, developed over 10+ years by the TAG Heuer Lab.
