CEO Tim Cook’s letter to investors attempts to explain problems and quell fears.

The beginning of 2019 isn't proving to be as fruitful as Apple anticipated. CEO Tim Cook released a letter to investors yesterday that revised the company's guidance for its Q1 2019 performance. Apple now expects a minimum of $84 billion in revenue, down from the $89 billion it projected at the end of the last fiscal year. In response to the news, Apple's stock fell eight percent in after-hours trading yesterday and remains down since the markets opened today.
So what happened? Cook cites a number of factors, including the timing of the newest iPhone launches and supply constraints across some product categories. The new iPhone XS, XS Max, and XR began shipping in Q4 2018, leading to fewer sales to be counted in the first quarter of 2019. As for supply issues, the letter claims that sales of the Apple Watch Series 4, iPad Pro, AirPods, and the MacBook Air were all constrained during "much or all" of the quarter.
But the biggest problems came from lackluster sales in China and equally disappointing iPhone upgrades. Cook states that the "magnitude of the economic deceleration" in Greater China took Apple by surprise, resulting in much of its revenue decline. "In fact, most of our revenue shortfall to our guidance, and over 100 percent of our year-over-year worldwide revenue decline, occurred in Greater China across iPhone, Mac and iPad," Cook writes in the letter.

Ein System, das Sprachlosen die Möglichkeit zu kommunizieren gibt, indem es Gedanken erfasst und als Sprache ausgibt - so weit ist die Forschung noch nicht. Aber Ansätze dafür gibt es: Drei Forschergruppen ist es gelungen, mit Hilfe von KI Hirnströme zu analysieren und daraus zuvor geäußerte oder gehörte Sprache zu rekonstruieren.

Declaring that it has opened a new chapter in lunar exploration, the China National Space Administration announced late Monday night that its Chang'e-4 lander had safely set down on the far side of the Moon. No spacecraft has ever made a soft landing there.
According to state media, a Beijing-based control center commanded the spacecraft to begin the landing procedure at 9:15pm ET Monday (10:15am, Tuesday, local time), from an altitude of 15km above the lunar surface. During an 11-minute descent, Chang'e-4 slowed its speed from 1.7 km/s to nearly zero before it landed in the Von Karman Crater in the South Pole-Aitken Basin. This is in the mid-southern latitudes of the Moon on its far side; it should offer important scientific information about Earth and the early Solar System.
The 1.2-ton lander is made from backup components of the Chang’e-3 mission, which China's space program landed on Mare Imbrium on the near side of the Moon five years ago. Shortly after landing, Chang'e-4 returned a photo of the lunar surface by way a relay satellite in lunar orbit, named Queqiao, meaning Magpie Bridge.
