India's New Import Licensing Requirement Hits Apple and Samsung's Laptop and Tablet Sales

India has announced that it will require a licensing requirement for the import of laptops, tablets, and personal computers, a move that could impact companies like Apple, Dell, and Samsung and push them to increase local manufacturing. The new rule, similar to restrictions imposed on TV shipments in 2020, will result in prolonged wait times for new models and comes ahead of the festive season when sales typically surge. The Indian government has been promoting local manufacturing under the "Make in India" plan, and the move is seen as an effort to substitute heavily imported goods. The restriction is also aimed at curbing supplies from China due to security concerns, with India seeking to import such hardware only from "trusted partners."

"Intel's Influence on Apple's 15-inch MacBook Air: A Missed Opportunity"

Apple product marketing executives have revealed in an interview that they had initially wanted to create a 15-inch MacBook Air during the Intel era but found it infeasible due to design constraints. However, with the introduction of Apple Silicon chips, they were able to bring the larger display, battery life, and performance that users expect from a MacBook Air. The 15-inch PC laptop market is significant, and Apple recognized the demand for more screen real estate without the need for additional capabilities and performance found in the MacBook Pro. The enterprise market, in particular, has shown interest in the larger screen size offered by the MacBook Air, thanks to the capabilities of Apple Silicon.
