  • Apple Seeks Samsung Help to Boost Base iPhone AI and RAM Ahead of Galaxy S Rival
    October 27, 2025, 9:24 PM EDT. Apple is accelerating its push into mobile AI, hoping Samsung can help close the gap with Galaxy AI. While Apple has progressed with Apple Intelligence, rivals-especially Samsung-have led in features. The plan targets the base iPhone lineup, aiming to boost on-device AI performance by increasing RAM. The iPhone 17 Pro/Pro Max already ship with 12GB of RAM; the base iPhone 18 is rumored to rise from 8GB to 12GB next year. Apple reportedly asked Samsung to increase LPDDR5X memory supply for the next generation, aligning with Galaxy S-series RAM at 12GB. Timing may shift, with the base iPhone 18 launching in spring to better counter Samsung's flagship cycle.
  • Amazon plans up to 30,000 corporate job cuts as it pares back pandemic overhire
    October 27, 2025, 9:16 PM EDT. Amazon is preparing to lay off as many as 30,000 corporate employees, a move aimed at trimming costs after a pandemic-era hiring spree. The cuts would affect roughly 10% of Amazon's corporate staff and touch divisions from HR to devices, services and operations. The layoffs follow CEO Andy Jassy's warning that artificial intelligence and generative AI tools could reduce the need for human workers in some areas. While the total headcount remains large, the scale marks the biggest downsizing in the firm's history and mirrors similar cuts at Microsoft, Meta, and Alphabet. Reuters and WSJ reported the plan, with notifications expected to begin this week. The move underscores ongoing cost-cutting and automation trends in the tech industry.
  • Amazon to announce sweeping corporate job cuts starting Tuesday
    October 27, 2025, 9:12 PM EDT. Amazon is set to announce a new round of corporate layoffs starting Tuesday, potentially eliminating as many as 30,000 roles-the largest in the company's history. The cuts would span nearly every business and follow a pattern of rolling layoffs since 2022 that have shaved more than 27,000 positions. Informing staff via email Tuesday morning, the company has not publicly commented. Amazon employs roughly 1.54 million people worldwide, with about 350,000 corporate employees; the rest are primarily warehouse workers. If confirmed, the layoffs would mark the biggest wave in the tech sector since 2020, amid broader industry cost-cutting and rising emphasis on AI adoption. The move fits CEO Andy Jassy's push to streamline the corporate structure and curb expenses.
