The Trump administration has pushed a sweeping policy agenda intended to hinder immigration. This has included a move in September to increase the fees on H-1B visa applications to $100,000 apiece, a staggering tenfold hike, along with other changes that have made the program less desirable to employers. Foreign-born residents are facing increasing hostility from Washington, regardless of their legal status. For many, the long-term viability of a career in Silicon Valley seems less certain than ever. 

India is trying to attract skilled professionals to return home with policies like Bharat-Talent and Bharat-Return, and some foreign-born tech workers are already pivoting to the world's most populous country, where the tech industry is maturing and offering new opportunities. Saritha Rai details these developments in a Bloomberg Businessweek magazine, and speaks with Carol Massar and Tim Stenovec on Bloomberg Businessweek Daily.

Apple Inc.’s revenue in the holiday quarter trounced Wall Street estimates, driven by strong demand for the new iPhone 17, growth in services and a rebound in China.


Revenue jumped 16% to $143.8 billion in the period that ended Dec. 27, setting a record, the company said in a statement Thursday. Analysts had estimated $138.4 billion on average, according to data compiled by Bloomberg. Apple’s own projections were for an increase 10% to 12%.


“IPhone had its best-ever quarter driven by unprecedented demand, with all-time records across every geographic segment,” Chief Executive Officer Tim Cook said in the statement.


The results reflect the success of Apple’s latest iPhone, a product line that accounts for roughly half its revenue. Higher-end versions of the device have been especially popular, helping further fuel sales and profit for the company.


Apple’s renewed growth should help ease concerns about its artificial intelligence push, which is getting an overhaul this year after recent stumbles. The performance also suggests that the company is coping with tariffs, which Apple previously said would create a $1.4 billion headwind in the quarter.

Bloomberg News Managing Editor for Global Consumer Tech Mark Gurman on Apple’s last financial numbers

Tom Narayan, Lead Equity Analyst, Global Autos at RBC Capital Markets, on Tesla earnings and the broader car market
