The technology sector, despite the buzz around artificial intelligence (AI), is experiencing a broad weakness, with many companies still struggling with the recession that started in 2022, according to investors and recent financial reports.
What Happened: AI-focused companies like Nvidia Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/NVDA#NASDAQ">NVDA</a>) and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/MSFT#NASDAQ">MSFT</a>) have seen significant increases in their share prices. However, analysts expressed that many tech firms not primarily focused on AI have struggled to recover, Financial Times <a href="https://www.ft.com/content/0b14d871-2d19-46f1-9660-5466301e8066">reported</a> on Monday. 
&#8220;When you look at technology outside of AI, there&#8217;s not that much happening,&#8221; stated Tony Kim, head of technology investing at BlackRock&#8217;s fundamental equities division.
Traditional tech areas such as software, IT consulting, and electronic equipment production for sectors like manufacturing and the auto industry have faced challenges, including weak demand and the aftermath of overexpansion and overstocking during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Facebook co-founder and current Asana CEO, Dustin Moskovitz, recently described the situation as an &#8220;unwinding of the over-hiring and overspending&#8221; seen at the start of the pandemic. Recent financial reports reveal that a majority of large tech firms have been growing more slowly, while many smaller ones are actively shrinking.

Investor enthusiasm for AI-focused companies has waned since early summer, leading to predictions of a prolonged shift of investor attention from Big Tech stocks to sectors like financial services and industrials.
Why It Matters: The AI sector has been a hot topic in recent months. In August, some investors and analysts warned that the AI sector could be a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/exclusives/24/08/40403663/exclusive-ai-bubble-fears-could-be-overdone-56-of-benzinga-readers-see-potential-pick-palantir-stock"> bubble set to burst </a>in the future. However, Goldman Sachs analysts stated in early September that despite the significant growth and investor interest in AI stocks, the sector is <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40741279/ai-tech-sector-is-not-in-a-bubble-but-diversification-out-of-magnificent-7-is-key-g">not in a speculative bubble</a>, unlike previous technology booms such as the late 1990s internet bubble.

Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO Elon Musk on Sunday <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40764724/elon-musks-xai-eyes-share-of-future-tesla-revenue-in-potential-deal">denied reports</a> of his artificial intelligence startup xAI discussing a deal with his EV company for a share of its revenue in return for providing the carmaker access to the AI startup&#8217;s technology and resources. 
What Happened: &#8220;Tesla has learned a lot from discussions with engineers at xAI that have helped accelerate achieving unsupervised FSD, but there is no need to license anything from xAI,&#8221; Musk wrote on X.
xAI&#8217;s artificial intelligence models are &#8220;gigantic&#8221; and couldn&#8217;t possibly run on the Tesla&#8217;s in-vehicle inference computer, the CEO added.

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

Why It Matters: The Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday that xAI&nbsp;is discussing a potential deal with Tesla. The deal would involve Tesla licensing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/social-media/24/09/40760039/elon-musk-less-influential-to-artificial-intelligence-than-scarlett-johansson-time-magazine-">AI models from xAI </a>for its Full Self-Driving (FSD) driver assistance software, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter.
WSJ reported that the proposed deal would entail Tesla sharing a portion of its revenue with xAI. xAI would also contribute to the development of additional features for Tesla, such as a voice assistant similar to Siri and software for Tesla's humanoid robot, Optimus, the report said. 
The specifics of the revenue-sharing agreement would be contingent on the extent to which Tesla utilizes xAI's technology in comparison to its own, WSJ added.

As Apple Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) prepares to unveil its highly anticipated iPhone 16 lineup tomorrow, prominent Wall Street analyst Dan Ives of Wedbush Securities is forecasting a potential watershed moment for the tech giant. 
What Happened: In a research note released on Sunday, Wedbush claims that the iPhone 16 launch could kick off &#8220;Cupertino&#8217;s biggest upgrade cycle in its history.&#8221;
Ives, known for his bullish stance on Apple, cites the integration of artificial intelligence as a key driver for this predicted supercycle. 
&#8220;This iPhone 16 release is all about Apple Intelligence and the unleashing of the consumer AI Revolution through Cupertino,&#8221; Ives writes. He estimates that approximately 20% of consumers worldwide will ultimately access and interact with generative AI apps through the Apple ecosystem in the coming years.
The Wedbush analyst&#8217;s optimism is further bolstered by his supply chain checks, which indicate stronger-than-expected initial shipments for the iPhone 16. Ives projects shipments closer to 90 million units, surpassing earlier Street expectations of 80 to 84 million. This represents a double-digit year-over-year increase.
Looking ahead, Ives believes Apple could sell north of 240 million iPhone units in fiscal year 2025 as the AI-driven upgrade cycle takes hold. He maintains an outperform rating on Apple stock with a price target of $285.
Ives also highlights the strategic importance of Apple&#8217;s AI push, suggesting that the company will become &#8220;the gatekeeper of the consumer AI Revolution.&#8221; He expects developers to create hundreds of generative AI-driven apps for the Apple ecosystem within the next 6 to 12 months.
As for the iPhone 16 itself, Ives anticipates larger displays for the Pro models, the introduction of the A18 chip (with an A18 Pro variant for higher-end models), enhanced battery life, and improved camera technology. He expects Apple to maintain similar price points to the iPhone 15 to encourage widespread adoption of AI-enhanced devices.
With the launch event set for tomorrow at Apple Park, all eyes will be on CEO Tim Cook and his team to see if they can deliver on the lofty expectations set by analysts like Ives. If his predictions hold true, we may indeed be witnessing the dawn of what Ives calls &#8220;the next leg of the Apple growth story.&#8221;

Why It Matters: The iPhone 16 launch, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40713896/apples-glowtime-event-will-the-iphone-16-shine-or-fizzle">dubbed the &#8220;Glowtime&#8221; event</a>, has been a focal point for tech enthusiasts. The event, is expected to unveil the iPhone 16 series alongside potential updates to Apple Watches and AirPods.


Moreover, the new iPhone <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40766753/iphone-16-to-feature-arms-next-gen-ai-chip-technology-what-you-should-know-about-apples-move">series will be powered</a> by ARM Holdings&#8216; next-gen AI chip technology, enhancing its AI capabilities. 


In addition, Apple may discontinue all three models of EarPods, including USB-C, as hinted by a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40766000/apple-may-discontinue-all-three-earpods-models-including-usb-c-researcher-hints-at-target-listing-cl">researcher</a> on Sunday. This move could further streamline Apple&#8217;s product lineup, focusing consumer attention on the new iPhone 16 and <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40766000/apple-may-discontinue-all-three-earpods-models-including-usb-c-researcher-hints-at-target-listing-cl">its advanced features</a>.

Top Wall Street Forecasters Revamp Academy Sports and Outdoors Price Expectations Ahead Of Q2 Earnings

Elon Musk‘s spacecraft manufacturing company&nbsp;SpaceX&nbsp;said on Sunday that it is now looking to launch its all-civilian <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40644887/polaris-dawns-all-civilian-crew-continues-in-quarantine-as-spacex-delays-launch-space-exploration-de">Polaris Dawn mission</a> after multiple delays on Sept. 10. 
What Happened: SpaceX is now planning to launch the mission to space from Florida on Tuesday at 3:38 a.m. ET. There are two additional launch opportunities at 5:23 a.m. ET and 7:09 a.m. on the same day, the company said.
&#8220;Weather is currently 40% favorable for liftoff, and conditions at the possible splashdown sites for Dragon's return to Earth remain a watch item,&#8221; SpaceX said on Sunday, hinting that the mission might be delayed yet again if the weather conditions are deemed not favorable. 
The Polaris Dawn mission was initially&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40501311/spacex-delays-launch-of-private-human-spaceflight-mission-polaris-dawn-program-founder-jared-isaacma" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">slated to launch in late August</a>&nbsp;but has been postponed multiple times since owing to a<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40569255/spacex-postpones-landmark-polaris-dawn-mission-launch-to-wednesday-after-identifying-helium-leak-elo" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">&nbsp;helium leak</a>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40592730/spacexs-first-commercial-spacewalk-delayed-by-unfavorable-weather-elon-musk-led-company-has-no-new-d" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">unfavorable weather forecast.</a>&nbsp;SpaceX is prioritizing crew safety given the increased risk associated with the mission, Musk previously explained.
Why It Matters:&nbsp;Polaris Dawn is the first of up to three human spaceflight missions planned under the Polaris program founded by Shift4 Payments&nbsp;CEO&nbsp;Jared Isaacman.
SpaceX's Dragon spacecraft and the all-civilian Polaris Crew composed of four including its mission commander&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/sec/insider-trades/0001805608/jared-isaacman" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Isaacman</a>, Kidd Poteet, Sarah Gillis, and Anna Menon will spend up to five days in orbit. While Isaacman and Poteet work together at Shift4, Gillis and Menon are SpaceX engineers.
The key objective of the mission is to&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/08/40437487/elon-musk-says-polaris-dawn-mission-will-be-epic-as-spacex-gears-up-for-its-first-spacewalk" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">conduct a spacewalk</a>&nbsp;nearly 435 miles above the Earth — marking the first-ever spacewalk by a commercial company. While space agency NASA routinely conducts extravehicular activities, no private player has attempted it before, making this a landmark mission for SpaceX and commercial spaceflight companies.

SpaceX Set To Launch All-Civilian Polaris Dawn Mission On September 10 After Multiple Delays

Top analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/08/40645921/apple-intelligence-will-play-starring-role-in-iphone-16-launch-says-analyst-no-pric">shared production data</a>&nbsp;for Apple Inc.&#8217;s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) iPhone 16 series, providing details on shipment plans for the third and fourth quarters of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.
What Happened: In a blog post shared on Monday, Kuo revealed that the&nbsp;2024 shipment forecast for the&nbsp;iPhone 16 series has been slightly raised&nbsp;from 87–88 million units to&nbsp;88–89 million units, primarily due to increased demand for the standard iPhone 16.
The iPhone 16 series, comprising the&nbsp;standard version, iPhone 16 Plus,&nbsp;iPhone 16 Pro, and iPhone&nbsp;16 Pro Max, is projected to&nbsp;account for approximately 26%, 6%,&nbsp;30%, and 38% of iPhone&nbsp;16 series shipments in 2024,&nbsp;respectively.
Shipments&nbsp;for August and September are&nbsp;expected to be&nbsp;around 9 million and 16&nbsp;million units, respectively. Kuo estimates that&nbsp;Apple is preparing&nbsp;15–17 million units for iPhone&nbsp;16 pre-orders.

Meanwhile, in the third quarter of 2024 iPhone 16 series shipments&nbsp;are expected to grow about&nbsp;10% YoY compared to the same period last year with&nbsp;iPhone 15 series. 
However, for the fourth-quarter 2024&nbsp;iPhone 16 series shipments are&nbsp;projected to decline by 5–7% YoY&nbsp;compared to the same time last year iPhone 15&nbsp;series.
In the first quarter of 2025,&nbsp;iPhone 16 series shipments are&nbsp;expected to decline significantly by&nbsp;53–55% QoQ, primarily due to&nbsp;seasonality and the potential cannibalization&nbsp;impact of the new iPhone&nbsp;SE4.
Kuo also revealed that&nbsp;the only iPhone EMS providers&nbsp;are now Foxconn and Luxshare&nbsp;ICT,&nbsp;responsible for 55–60% and 40–45%&nbsp;of iPhone 16 series shipments, respectively.

Why It Matters: Before the iPhone 16 launch, experts had mixed views. Gene Munster, a tech expert, suggested that the iPhone 16 launch could be a&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40696588/exclusive-apples-iphone-16-launch-will-be-disappointment-before-the-excitement-gene">&#8220;disappointment before the excitement,&#8221;</a> as much of the anticipation was already factored into the stock.
However, he believed the new phone would boost the stock over the next year. &#8220;I think it's conservative to say 10% because there's a group that's just going upgrade this year because it's time. Their phone is five years old they're just gonna get a new phone.&#8221;
On the other hand, Bloomberg columnist Mark Gurman cautioned consumers not to believe the hype about an iPhone 16 super cycle, stating that the&nbsp;<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40764465/dont-believe-the-hype-about-an-iphone-16-super-cycle-gurman-says-consumers-will-have-to-wait-for-the">&#8220;best AI features&#8221;</a>&nbsp;would require a wait.
Meanwhile, just days before the iPhone 16 launch, Huawei&#8217;s new tri-fold smartphone, the Mate XT, received <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/24/09/40765746/apples-iphone-16-launch-parade-on-monday-gets-rained-on-by-huawei-chinese-companys-tri-fold-phone-ge">over a million orders in just seven hours</a>, potentially raining on Apple&#8217;s parade.

iPhone 16 Series Production Data Unveiled By Top Apple Analyst: 9M To 16M Units Shipments For August And September Expected

CNBC&#8217;s &#8220;Mad Money&#8221; host Jim Cramer called Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) the &#8220;most vulnerable&#8221; among the Magnificent 7 stocks.
What Happened: Cramer has identified Apple as the most susceptible stock among the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; ahead of the iPhone 16 launch, CNBC <a href="https://www.cnbc.com/2024/09/08/jim-cramer-says-apple-aapl-is-vulnerable-ahead-of-iphone-16-launch.html">reported</a> on Monday.
In a note on Sunday, Cramer expressed concerns about the valuation of the top seven tech companies, including Apple, which he believes has become overvalued despite recent sell-offs.
Cramer emphasized that investors have stopped considering the price at which they buy these stocks, leading to inflated valuations. He noted that Apple&#8217;s upcoming iPhone 16 launch could be a critical event for the company&#8217;s stock performance.
He also pointed out that Apple&#8217;s partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into its devices, announced in June, has created high expectations. However, Cramer remains cautious about the stock&#8217;s future amid these developments.

She Gets To Set The Rules&#8217;</a>
Why It Matters: The upcoming iPhone 16 launch, dubbed the &#8220;Glowtime&#8221; event, is highly anticipated. Apple has been at the center of tech news, with the event expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40763490/apples-glowtime-iphone-16-launch-oled-display-upgrades-and-huaweis-countermove-this-week-in-applever">showcase significant upgrades</a>, including OLED displays. However, competition is heating up, with<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/09/40763490/apples-glowtime-iphone-16-launch-oled-display-upgrades-and-huaweis-countermove-this-week-in-applever"> Huawei making unexpected moves</a> that could impact Apple&#8217;s market share.
Analysts have mixed opinions on Apple&#8217;s stock performance post-event. While some believe the iPhone 16 launch could drive the stock higher, others, like Cramer, are cautious. An analyst recently noted that the iPhone 16 event might not be a &#8220;sell the news&#8221; moment, suggesting that Apple&#8217;s <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/24/09/40737548/apple-iphone-16-event-not-sell-the-news-analyst-says-shares-could-move-higher">shares could move higher</a>.
Additionally, a recent poll revealed that investors are considering other options within the &#8220;Magnificent 7&#8221; for retirement investments, with Amazon.com emerging as a <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/top-stories/24/08/40602271/ready-to-retire-on-a-single-magnificent-7-stock-poll-reveals-top-pick-and-its-not-apple">top pick over Apple</a>. This indicates a shift in investor sentiment, potentially impacting Apple&#8217;s stock performance.
