SpaceX separately said it had reached an agreement to acquire a nationwide portfolio of low-band spectrum assets. Apple is expected to hold a product launch around Oct. 27, with a touchscreen Mac and a new iPad mini reportedly in the pipeline, while Nikkei said weak demand has led the company to cut iPhone 18 Pro orders. In chips, Nvidia may adopt Intel’s Foveros packaging technology and is also said to be investing in rival D-Matrix. CoreWeave is in talks with South Korea over data center cooperation. Another report said Firmus, a data center company backed by Nvidia, is seeking $3 billion in financing after shelving its IPO plan. Separately, Netflix is reportedly undergoing a restructuring that could affect about 5% of staff, with an announcement possibly coming as early as next week.
