Elon Musk on Thursday fielded questions from Twitter employees, who reportedly queried the billionaire over how his proposed $44 billion acquisition of the social media service could affect everything from content moderation to remote work.
Musk told the company's more than 7,500 employees that he is committed to both a diverse workplace and a diverse user base, according to The New York Times. Musk, who also runs electric car maker Tesla and rocket maker SpaceX, expressed hopes the company's user base can reach at least 1 billion people, which he reportedly said would be the "most explicit definition of inclusiveness." Twitter had roughly 230 million daily users, according to its most recent earnings report.
He also suggested a laissez-faire approach to content moderation.
"We should allow people to say what they want," he reportedly told Twitter employees.
The remarks come amid widespread speculation that Musk is trying to renegotiate or cancel the deal he struck in April to buy Twitter for $54.20 a share. The price constituted a 38% premium to Twitter's closing stock price on April 1, when Musk revealed he had built up a more than 9% stake in the publicly traded company. Musk plans to take Twitter private. Since Twitter announced the deal, however, the company's shares have fallen amid concerns about the deal and a broader market selloff.
On Thursday, Twitter shares rose 1.1% to $38.40 in early afternoon trading.
Neither Twitter nor Musk's lawyer responded to requests for comment.
Musk has said he wants to purchase Twitter to safeguard free speech, a term he uses vaguely.
The First Amendment to the US Constitution protects speech only from government censorship. Private companies such as Twitter can make their own rules about what is permitted on their services. In May, Musk said he would lift Twitter's ban on former US President Donald Trump, but the politician has said he doesn't plan to rejoin the social network. Twitter permanently suspended Trump for violating Twitter's rules against glorifying violence after the Jan. 6 Capitol Hill riot.
The deal has periodically appeared to be on the rocks as Musk has repeatedly taken issue with Twitter's assessment of bots on the service. Last week, Musk lawyer Mike Ringler sent a letter to Twitter, accusing the social network of refusing to provide Musk with more information about spam and fake accounts. The Washington Post, citing a person familiar with the company's thinking, reported that Twitter planned to provide Musk with a trove of data.
Twitter's shareholders still need to approve the deal in a special meeting that's expected to take place by early August.
Musk has said that a lower price isn't out of the question. Twitter has signaled that it plans to move forward with the current deal.
The uncertainty about Twitter's deal with Musk has prompted plenty of questions about the social media site's future. Internally, Twitter employees have said they don't think Musk fully grasps the challenges around content moderation, Bloomberg reported, citing an internal discussion between employees before Twitter announced the deal with Musk.
While Musk has vowed to "authenticate all humans," he told Twitter employees he doesn't plan to make people use their real names on the platform, The New York Times reported. He also reportedly praised Chinese social media apps WeChat and TikTok during Thursday's call. Twitter could integrate payments into its app so people could send money, Musk reportedly told Twitter employees.
At one point, he told Twitter employees that he hadn't seen any evidence of alien life, according to multiple reports. The comment reportedly perplexed many attendees of the call.
Musk reportedly told employees that he wanted to be involved in Twitter's product and expected them to "listen to me in this regard." However, he shared no thoughts on what his title might be if the deal is completed.
He also appeared to indicate to employees that he preferred them to be in the office rather than working remotely, reportedly telling them it is "much better if you are on location physically." Despite reportedly pointing out his worries about remote work, Musk also said there are differences between working at a carmaker like Tesla and at a social media site, noting that people who are "exceptional at their jobs" can work remotely.

How to run both Chrome OS and Ubuntu on a Chromebook
How to run both Chrome OS and Ubuntu on a Chromebook
You've probably heard a lot about Chromebooks. These affordable computers are manufactured by companies like HP, Acer, Toshiba, and Samsung, among others, and run Google's cloud-based operating system known as Chrome OS, which relies on an Internet connection to run most apps.
The big appeal for these computers are their price tags, with most models retailing for under $400 and some even dipping as low as $179. Many people aren't aware, however, that Chromebooks are capable of doing more than just running Web apps. In fact, you can run both Chrome OS and Ubuntu, a popular Linux operating system, on a Chromebook. Here's what you need to know.
Choosing the right model
Any Chromebook is capable of installing Ubuntu, however I recommend using a model that is equipped with an Intel processor. Chromebooks that include an ARM processor will not be compatible with a majority of Linux programs. You will have a more enjoyable experience if you use a newer model with better internal hardware.
It will also help to use some sort of external storage such as a flash drive or an SD card for more space to install any additional programs.
The process
The first thing you must do is enable the Chromebook's Developer Mode, but be aware that this will erase anything you may have saved to the device's internal storage. Press and hold the Esc and Refresh keys, and then press the power button. The Chromebook will reboot into Recovery Mode.
Dan Graziano/CNET
A yellow exclamation point will appear on the screen with a warning message, press the Ctrl and D keys simultaneously to continue to the next screen. Press the keyboard's Enter key to turn OS verification off and confirm the decision to turn on the Chromebook's Developer Mode. A red exclamation point and a warning that OS verification has been turned off will be displayed on the screen, followed by two loud beeps, this is normal.
Sit back and wait as this process could take up to 10 minutes to complete. Don't panic if you see a red exclamation point after Developer Mode has been enabled, the system will reboot back into Chrome OS shortly.
Dan Graziano/CNET
You will be required to input your network credentials and login information after the Chromebooks reboots. After doing so, you must download a tool known as Crouton, which will allow Ubuntu to run on top of Chrome OS. Save the file to your download folder and then open the Chromebook's terminal by pressing the Ctrl, ALT, and T keys together.
Type "shell" in the command line and hit the Enter key. Next, type "sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t unity" and wait for Crouton to install. If your Chromebook has a touch screen use the command "sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -t touch,unity" instead.

You will be asked to enter a username and password once the installation process is complete. This is separate from your Chrome OS login and will be used inside of the Ubuntu operating system. To enter Ubuntu type the command "sudo startunity" into the terminal.
Click on the first icon on the left-hand side of the screen and search for the terminal. Once inside of it, type "sudo apt-get update" in the command line to update the operating system. When that's complete, type "sudo apt-get install software-center," this will allow you to easily install a wide variety of Linux programs. You can open the software center and search for the specific program you want, or you can download programs from the Web and install them through the software center.
Tips
To get back to Chrome OS from Ubuntu, press the Ctrl, Alt, and Back keys together. Moving from Chrome OS to Ubuntu can be done by pressing Ctrl, Alt, Forward, followed by Ctrl, Alt, and Refresh. On a model with an ARM processor, use Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Back, and Ctrl, Alt, Shift, Forward to move back and forth between both operating systems.
You can also open the Chrome OS terminal and type "shell" in the command line, followed by "sudo startunity," either method works. One thing you will notice is that it now takes longer for the Chromebook to power on. When you see the yellow exclamation point, simply press the Ctrl and D keys to speed up this process.
Uninstalling Ubuntu
The best part about this how-to is that it's completely worry-free. Whether you are unhappy with Ubuntu, running out of space, or want to return your Chromebook back to its original factory state, it takes only a couple of seconds to undo the entire process.
Dan Graziano/CNET
Restart the computer and press the spacebar when you see the red exclamation point. Press the Enter key to turn OS verification back on; this will once again erase anything stored on the device's internal storage. The system will reboot back into Chrome OS; enter your network credentials and log in to your Google account to begin using your Chromebook again.

Snapchat Brings 'House of the Dragon' to Cities Across the World via AR
Snap and HBO Max have partnered on a new Game of Thrones: House of the Dragon feature for Snapchat users. From Sunday, if you're in the right place you'll see Snapchat's new "Landmarker Lenses" starring dragons.
You'll have to be in certain cities and locations to unlock the full AR experience.
Here are the locations revealed so far for the special AR dragons on Snapchat:
Los Angeles: Venice Beach Grand Canals
Rio De Janeiro: Princess Isabel Statue
London: Tower Bridge
Chennai: Sankagiri Fort
Mumbai: CST Station (IE Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus)
Prague: Charles Bridge
You'll see dragon markers on your Snap Map when you get close to their locations. There will be 20 lenses released during the season as more dragons are introduced to the show. Each AR lens was built by a different Snap lens creator.
There's also a filter all users can access that turns your face into a fire-breathing dragon, or, if you face the camera out, a dragon will fly across the screen.
House of the Dragon is set to premiere on Aug. 21 .

Asus Reveals First 500Hz Nvidia G-Sync Gaming Display
Asus on Tuesday unveiled the ROG Swift 500Hz, the world's first 500Hz Nvidia G-Sync display. The 24-inch gaming monitor's ultrafast refresh rate is designed with competitive gaming at 1080p in mind.
It didn't reveal the price or release date for ROG Swift 500Hz.
"The ROG Swift 500Hz draws frames more than eight times faster than typical 60Hz displays in a single second, which means you have that much more time to get a leg up on your opponent in esports titles like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Valorant, Overwatch, and Rainbow Six Siege," the company said in a release.
Included in the monitor are Nvidia's Reflex Analyzer to track latency and G-Sync to maintain clarity. It pushes refresh rates using TN (twisted nematic) panel the company has dubbed "E-TN" (esports TN), which prioritizes speed over color.
It's quite a jump from the 360Hz game display Asus and Nvidia debuted at CES 2020. We saw a prototype 500Hz panel earlier this year, from BOE.

Top Reasons the IRS Could Flag Your Tax Return
Top Reasons the IRS Could Flag Your Tax Return
This story is part of Taxes 2022, CNET's coverage of the best tax software and everything else you need to get your return filed quickly, accurately and on-time.
According to the IRS website, an audit is simply a review of accounts and financial information "to ensure information is reported correctly according to the tax laws and to verify the reported amount of tax is correct."
But many taxpayers live in fear of being audited or receiving any sort of feedback from the IRS other than a confirmation (or refund). Audits can be triggered at random, but certain kinds of taxpayers -- and certain behaviors -- are more likely to raise red flags with the agency.
Below, we've spoken with tax experts about the chief mistakes people make that generate more scrutiny from the IRS. We'll also explain what you can do to avoid making errors and how far back into your records the agency will look.
1. You have missing or mismatched paperwork
"There's no one single thing that automatically triggers an audit," said Jo Willetts, director of tax resources at Jackson Hewitt, "but mismatched documentation is the most common reason why you'll get a letter from the IRS."
It can be as simple as a missing form, she said, "and often it happens to people who rush around at the last minute."
Last year the federal government offered a variety of financial support programs to offset the economic effects of the pandemic, notably the child tax credit, the earned income tax credit, a third stimulus check and the American opportunity tax credit, which allows you to claim up to $2,500 in education expenses.
But you have to show you legitimately qualified for these benefits, Willetts told CNET.
"If, last year, you claimed no child tax credit and this year you claimed three kids and they're not babies, it's going to trigger a letter from the IRS," she said.
That doesn't mean you're always in the wrong: You might have had a child in May 2021, and the IRS is working off information it has on you from 2020.
While the EITC is aimed at lower-income households, taxpayers who claim it are among the most likely to be audited, accounting for nearly 31% of all audits over the past 10 years, according to a 2021 report from the US Treasury Department (PDF).
That's because fraud is so rampant, according to the IRS: Some $16 billion, or 23.5% of EITC payments, were improperly paid in fiscal year 2020.
2. You made a mistake with the math or data entry
While simple math errors won't usually trigger a full-blown examination by the IRS, they will garner an extra look and slow down the completion of your return, even if the error is in the IRS' favor.
So can entering your Social Security number wrong, transposing the numbers on your address and other boneheaded blunders.
Filing electronically cuts down on these foul-ups by pulling a lot of information from previous returns and letting you load your W-2s or 1099s directly into the system.
Using a professional tax preparer is also a good bulwark against mistakes and miscalculations.
3. You're self-employed
"If you work for yourself and have legitimate business expenses, you should feel empowered to take them," said Lisa Greene-Lewis, a TurboTax tax expert. "Just make sure you have receipts and documentation to back it up."
If you claim the home-office deduction, it has to be a space used "exclusively and regularly for your trade or business" -- not the dining-room table.
If you claim transportation expenses, you'll need documentation of the mileage used for work: If you deduct 100% of your personal vehicle as a business expense, it's going to raise a flag.
The largest percentage of Americans who are audited make over $1 million.

Being diligent is especially true when deducting business meals, Greene-Lewis added.
In the past, they were only 50% deductible -- now you can now claim 100% of the cost of a business meal, "but you have to document who you are with, what the purpose of the meeting was, the date of the meal, and so on," Greene-Lewis said.
"And of course, keep your receipts," she added.

4. You make a lot of money, or no money at all
Higher-income taxpayers are more likely to be reviewed, said Willetts, "but we're talking less than 1% of the total population."
According to the IRS, 2.53% of those earning between $1 million and $10 million were audited in 2015, and 8.1% of Americans who made $10 million or more were.
That compares to less than 1% for all the income brackets under $1 million that year.
The one exception was those declaring "no positive income," 4.47% of whom were audited. A negative income could be the result of capital losses or declared business expenses, which the IRS will want to scrutinize.
You're in the safest position if your total household income is between $25,000 and $200,000, according to the agency. Those taxpayers were audited the least.
5. You claim too many business expenses or losses
You are required to file a Schedule C form if you have business income, but it complicates your return and can make you more likely to be contacted by the IRS.
Greene-Lewis encourages taxpayers to claim every deduction they're legitimately entitled to. But, she adds, you have to be extremely diligent in justifying those deductions, providing details and supporting paperwork.
The IRS' computer system is looking for deductions that are outside the norm for people in your profession.
Angela Lang/CNET
By and large, the IRS algorithm is looking for deductions that are outside the norm for people in your profession: If you're a patent attorney but your travel expenses are three times what other patent attorneys claim, it could lead to closer inspection.
And If you've taken a loss on your business for several years in a row, the IRS might want to make sure your business is above board.
According to Thomas Scott, a tax partner at Aprio, small business owners who keep sloppy records often make "frivolous business deductions."
"When the business owner makes up expenses and deductions, they tend to stick out," Scott told CNET. "Under an audit, the IRS will require support and proof of deductions and if not provided these deductions will be disallowed."
On a similar note, Scott added, "businesses that try to take incentives and credits that they don't qualify for may cause a red flag."
6. Your charitable deductions are outsized
If you itemize your deductions, you can claim cash donations to recognized charities -- as well as the value of a donated car, clothes or other property. But the IRS notices if these donations "seem out of whack with your income," says Greene-Lewis. The agency's computer system, called Discriminant Information Function, continuously scans tax returns for anomalies.
"If you say your salary was $50,000 last year, but you claimed a charitable deduction that's, like, half your income, it's going to catch their eye," Greene-Lewis told CNET.
For the 2021 tax year, the IRS actually suspended the typical limits on charitable contributions: Individuals are allowed to deduct charitable contributions worth up to 100% of their adjusted gross income.
But doing so is likely to draw scrutiny, so you better have all your paperwork in order.
7. You have undeclared income
This is the big one: Employers are required to file a W-2 with the IRS that reflects your earnings, or 1099s in the case of freelancers and contractors who earn more than $600.
The agency's computer automatically checks to see that your reported income matches up to what your boss submitted.
It also gets notified of interest or earnings from savings accounts, investments and stock trades, too -- as well as large gambling wins, inheritances and almost any other kind of income. If you fail to report capital gains on cryptocurrency trades, it could trigger an audit.
Even if you work in a cash business -- say, as a waiter or babysitter -- unclaimed income can catch up to you.
"If someone is bringing their child to you to care for, they're probably claiming your service on their taxes. So you need to make sure it all aligns," says Willetts. "Even a small business like a house painter will require you to be bonded. That will eventually cross the IRS's desk."
For instance, if you declare $20,000 in income on your tax return, but when you apply for a home loan backed by the Federal Housing Administration, you put down $80,000. "These departments talk to each other and eventually it's going to get you caught," Willetts added.
According to Aprio's Thomas Scott, small-business owners who don't keep good records also tend to underreport -- a major audit risk.
"Because the business owner hasn't kept up with their income for the entire year, when it's time to file their taxes they tend to estimate," Scott says. "The problem with this approach shows up because most of the income earned has been reported to the IRS on a Form 1099. The IRS can match the income reported on the owner's return to the income reported on Form 1099s."
The IRS also accepts tips from concerned citizens: Your disgruntled co-worker or aggrieved in-law may be only too happy to report you for tax fraud, especially since the agency's 2006 Whistleblower Program increased incentives to potentially between 15% and 30% of the proceeds the IRS collects.
The three kinds of 'audits'
Typically, the IRS sends three different kinds of notifications: Adjustment letters, correspondent audits and examination audits.
Adjustment letters simply let taxpayers know they owe additional money or that there is a change in their refund amount, typically because of a miscalculation.
"People get a letter from the IRS and they automatically freak out and think it's an audit, but it's really just an adjustment letter," said Greene-Lewis.
A correspondence audit is a bit more involved: It lets the taxpayer know additional documentation is needed to complete their return. The IRS might ask for receipts, bills, employment documents, canceled checks, legal papers, loan agreements, shareholder reports or even ticket stubs.
An examination audit is what people are really scared of, but less than 1% of Americans are audited in a given tax year, said Willetts. "Generally the IRS says 'If you have the documents, send them to us.'"
If you do receive a letter indicating the IRS is conducting an examination audit, you might want to solicit a professional, she added.
The process may be conducted through the mail, or more rarely, in person. (In March 2020, the IRS suspended face-to-face examinations because of the COVID-19 pandemic.)
When the audit is completed, your IRS auditor will determine what's required to rectify the situation. If you disagree, there is an appeals process.
Some of the things that get flagged by the agency are no big deal, Willetts said, "and the IRS is not always right -- or not fully right." In 2018, 30,000 of the million or so audits conducted resulted in taxpayers getting additional money back.
"It's always a pleasure to resolve an issue with the IRS when it's the taxpayer's favor," said Willetts.
How far back can the IRS go to audit a return?
Generally, the IRS will include returns filed within the last three years in an audit, with most audits of returns from the last two.
"If we identify a substantial error, we may add additional years," according to the agency's website, which adds it doesn't usually don't go back more than the last six years.
If an audit is not resolved, the IRS may request extending the statute of limitations for assessing additional taxes and fees, which is usually three years after a return was due or was filed, whichever is later.
The auditee doesn't have to agree to the extension of the statute of limitations date, according to the IRS. "However if you don't agree, the auditor will be forced to make a determination based upon the information provided."
How long should you hold onto your old tax records?
Since the IRS typically looks at returns from the past three years, it's a good rule of thumb to hold onto your records for at least that long.
Six or seven years is fine if you really want to cover your bases. The agency itself says it won't go back further than that.

Did you know that you can edit video within Adobe's image-editing program? There is no need to learn the ins and outs of Premiere or Final Cut when Photoshop does just fine for some simple edits and transformations.
Video editing has been part and parcel of Photoshop since CS3 Extended. If you are running an older version of Photoshop, here is our tutorial on how to cut video using CS5 Extended.
Photoshop CC and CS6 are mostly the same when it comes to video features. Photoshop can read the following major file formats and more:
.264
AVI
MPEG-4
MOV (QuickTime)
MTS
A full list of supported file formats is available on this Adobe support page.
Getting started
Open up Photoshop and head to the Window menu. Make sure that Timeline is selected, which will bring up the video toolbar at the bottom of the screen. Alternatively, head to Window > Workspace > Motion to bring up the entire suite of video controls.
Now it is time to import the video file. Either drag a supported video into the Photoshop main window or click the filmstrip icon in the timeline and select "Add Media."
Alternatively, for more precise control over the file when it comes to exporting, go to File > New. Select Film & Video from the drop-down menu and change to the appropriate values. Once the new document has been created, import the video file itself by going to Layer > Video Layers > New Video Layer from File.
Screenshot by Lexy Savvides/CNET
The video will now be available for editing in the timeline. Like any traditional video editor, Photoshop lets you scrub through the footage and gives you some basic controls over audio. Note that if you playback the file within the edit window, Photoshop may drop the frame rate to keep displaying the footage in real time.
The next thing you may want to do before launching into the edit is to turn the video layer into a Smart Object. This will allow you to apply filters to the entire video image in one particular layer -- even if there are cuts or transitions.
Choose the correct layer name and then select Layer > Smart Objects > Convert to Smart Object.
A purple clip means that the layer has been converted to a Smart Object. Screenshot by Lexy Savvides/CNET
Once this has been done, any adjustments you make through filters will be reflected in all frames on that particular layer.
Making edits
Editing video using Photoshop uses many of the same principles you may be familiar with when working with still images.
Depending on the camera and lens combination used to shoot your video, you may want to apply a lens-correction filter. Photoshop may be able to automatically detect what camera the video was filmed with. Head to Filter > Lens Correction, and Photoshop should autodetect the camera.
Note that Photoshop may not detect it if the video was created using a smartphone. If this is the case, you can apply corrections to the video image using the Custom tab in the Lens Correction window.
The controls are quite comprehensive, including the ability to add or remove a vignette, make adjustments for chromatic aberrations, or adjust perspective.
Add some custom lens corrections in this window. Screenshot by Lexy Savvides/CNET
Videos can be split by selecting the scissor tool on the Timeline. This will cut the video in two at the position of the playhead. Like any other video editor, in Photoshop you can move clips back and forth to other layers on the Timeline.
The adjustments palette. Screenshot by Lexy Savvides/CNET
Add in any extra audio files using the dedicated Audio Track layer. Click the musical-note icon to import music or other sounds. To make adjustments to the audio recorded with the video file, right-click on the appropriate clip, and then select the musical-note icon to adjust the volume or mute it.
Some basic filters will be accessible via the Adjustments layer palette in the workspace.
Options available include black-and-white, photo filter, curves, exposure, and brightness/contrast adjustments.
Photoshop will include these filters as a separate, nondestructive layer that you can toggle on or off using the regular layers palette.

Transitions
Photoshop has some common transitions built in, such as fades and crossfades. These can be found in the Timeline toolbar, denoted by the split-square transitions icon.
Select a transition from the menu, then drag it on to the appropriate layer on the Timeline. Transitions can be extended or shortened by dragging the duration slider just underneath the video image on the Timeline. Alternatively, right-click on the transition itself to change the duration with more precise control.

To change the speed of a clip, right-click on the appropriate layer. Select "Speed" to increase or decrease playback speed using the slider or a percentage value. To slow down motion, choose a speed such as 50 percent.
Transitions can also be applied to audio. Again, to work with audio recorded with a video, right-click on the appropriate clip, and go to the musical-note icon. Apply fade-in or -out transitions where desired.
Text and objects
Photoshop lets you add text to videos using the same method as still images. First you will want to create a new video group so you can adjust the position of the text and placement over the clip. Do this by selecting the filmstrip icon in the timeline and selecting "New Video Group."
Screenshot by Lexy Savvides/CNET
Select the text tool from the side toolbar, place the cursor on the image, and start typing. Photoshop places the text on a new layer so you can move it to the desired place in the timeline.
To add a transition to text, simply use the same method outlined above for the video image -- just drag the transition over the text layer instead.
Adobe has detailed information on working with more complex motion on its website.
Exporting
When your masterpiece is ready to go, head to File > Export > Render Video. Make any adjustments to Output File Type, or select one of the many Adobe presets to make a YouTube or Vimeo-ready short film. Make sure that "Adobe Media Encoder" is selected rather than "Photoshop Image Sequence", or you will end up with a series of still JPEG images rather than a video.
When you are satisfied with the export settings, press Render, and let Photoshop make your movie.

Apple's iPad and M1 Mac Sales May Tell Us Whether the Chip Shortage Is Finally Ending
Apple's iPad and M1 Mac Sales May Tell Us Whether the Chip Shortage Is Finally Ending
Two years ago, Apple was one of the first companies to warn that the COVID-19 pandemic was impacting global manufacturing. Now the tech giant may offer the first signs that things are improving.
Apple will announce its earnings for its second fiscal quarter after market close Thursday. Usually, Apple executives who discuss the results with analysts on a public conference call like to talk about how popular its products are and how exciting the next ones will be. But over the past year, they've also increasingly warned that they're struggling to build enough iPads and Macs to meet demand, missing out on billions of dollars in potential sales.
Though Apple isn't providing forward-looking guidance during the pandemic, analysts on average expect the company to report $1.43 in profit per share on $93.9 billion in sales for the three months ended in March, according to surveys published by Yahoo Finance. That would amount to a 2% increase in profit per share from the same time a year ago and roughly 4% increase in sales.
Assuming Apple meets or beats those expectations, analysts say it's likely the iPhone and its associated accessories made the biggest difference. And that's even though demand for its Mac computers and iPad tablets has risen to record levels.
"We believe demand for the iPhone 13 held up better than expected through the end of the March quarter," Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty wrote in a note to investors last week. "iPhone data points out of China were notably strong in the face of broader market weakness."
The chip shortage has impacted a lot of companies, ranging from car makers to appliance manufacturers.
Scott Stein/CNET
Whatever Apple says will likely be seen as a bellwether for the tech industry, which has struggled with supply shortages, particularly as demand for computers, tablets and cameras and other technology jumped amid the pandemic.
The ongoing supply shortages have rippled throughout the global economy, slowing production of everything from cars to medical equipment. The constrained supplies have also pushed prices higher, contributing to inflation.
Apple and other tech companies have vowed to increase production in the US to help offset slowdowns in international shipping and manufacturing, but many of those projects are still years from completion. In the meantime, some supplies of chips have improved.
Analysts will likely be listening for any further signs from Apple on Thursday, particularly as the world struggles war started by Russia invading Ukraine. Lockdowns from another wave of rising COVID infections in China have shuttered ports In Shanghai and others cities, further contributing to shipping delays.
Bernstein analyst Toni Sacconaghi said in a note to investors Monday that consumers appear to be slowing their spending binge that was a hallmark of the pandemic. "With slowing growth, high inflation and geopolitical uncertainty tied to the Russia-Ukraine conflict," he wrote, "consumer sentiment appears to be waning."
There are also signs that the manufacturing slowdowns may still impact financial results for the summer, particularly as Evercore ISI analyst Amit Daryanani noted that factories that make about 20% of iPhones were shut down this month amid rising health concerns.
