Apple's India supply chain expansion held back by Chinese tensions
India only assembles phones while China produces a high fraction of critical parts. That will not change in the foreseeable future if ever, so Apple faces a tough road ahead. The difficulties other companies have faced manufacturing in India suggest Apple will eventually look elsewhere. Inane talk, Chinese and Vietnamese work.

Sherlocked by Sequoia: What apps Apple may have killed in macOS and iOS 18
Grammerly has the advantage of being web based and cross platform, and in the Pro version it has a lot of sophisticated tools for structured documents as well as plagiarism checking. It is unlikely Apple will develop it to this extent so users of these features will probably stay put for now. Casual users of the free version will probably switch to the Apple native app, this will not be a big loss for Gramerly in revenue terms except as a demonstration tool ie whatever revenue they derive from the user data/activity. I’ll use both. -
USB-C on iPhone is good - but not as an excuse for a bad law

Tested: Thermal conditions in the 2018 i9 MacBook Pro dramatically hampering performance
This is not a new or unexpected problem.
The top top end processor for MBP or similar thin form factor notebooks is seldom the optimum performance solution in real terms due to thermal throttling and power consumption.
Typically, these processors only provide short-term burst-mode performance advantages before they overheat and throttle
Usually the best overall performance will be obtained with the middle processor choice combined with maximum memory.
You can test the above to validate.
