How Apple Prevailed in Trade Tensions, Chinese Online Retailers Cut iPhone Pricing, The Netflix of Podcasts

Today's Above Avalon daily update includes the following topics: 

  • How Apple Prevailed in Trade Tensions

  • Chinese Online Retailers Cut iPhone Pricing

  • The Netflix of Podcasts

We kick off today’s email with Politico’s recent article about Tim Cook successfully navigating Apple through U.S. / China trade tensions. We discuss why writers from political circles approach Apple and U.S. / China trade tensions quite differently than writers from the tech industry. The email then turns to Apple pushing another round of iPhone price cuts in China. We conclude with my thoughts on Luminary, a podcasts start-up that just came out of stealth mode, and the broader changes unfolding in podcasts land.
