Apple under CEO Tim Cook has been judged to have expanded its ecosystem through a wide range of products and services rather than a single breakthrough like the iPhone. On April 21, IT outlet NineToFiveMac grouped major launches since Cook took over into “best” and “disappointing” cases, citing AirPods, Apple Watch and the Apple Silicon transition as standout successes. It pointed to Vision Pro’s high price and the limited Apple Card as shortcomings, and said Apple Intelligence remains incomplete.

Samsung Electronics has raised U.S. prices for several Galaxy smartphone and tablet models, with the increases applying broadly across the Galaxy Tab lineup. Prices rose on some higher-storage phone variants such as the Galaxy Z Flip7 and Galaxy S25 Edge, while the Galaxy S26 series was excluded. The Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra saw wider hikes across multiple storage options. Some models are being discounted even as list prices rise.
