Snapchat Tumbles Down In The Stock Market

Snap Inc., which is the parent company of popular photo sharing app Snapchat, has reported stalling user numbers and tumbling profits in its second quarter results. The social media company has had a very difficult ride in the stock market losing up to 14% in trading in a single day.

The company priced its Initial Public Offering (IPO) at $ 17 and then reached heights of $ 27. But since then, it has fallen to half of that, closing at $ 11.83 on Friday. While the company announced their audience grew by over 20% since last year to reach 173 million daily active users, they lost close to $ 443 million in the June quarter.

The CEO of Snap, Evan Spiegel has always defended the company’s decision to not make user growth it’s primary mission but the success of Instagram Stories has halted the growth of Snapchat. According to media reports, the Stories feature on Instagram already has 250 million daily users which is over 75 million more than Snapchat.

As per Snap’s second quarter filings, the company brought in $ 181.7 million in revenue which is a 153% increase since last year. But the company missed the analysts expectations who were expecting a revenue of more than $ 186 million.

Snapchat popularized disappearing messages and came up with the idea for stories along with the clever use of AI enhanced face filters. But Facebook has proven to be a fierce competitor as it understands how to get more and more people to sign up and keep using their services. In an attempt to get more users involved with the app on a daily basis, Snapchat also encouraged the daily use of Snapstreak. But Snapstreak, which calls out the streaks in which two friends send snaps to each other at least once for more than three consecutive days, isn’t working too well, as daily users haven’t grown much. In order to survive in the industry, Snapchat and the team will have to come up with something that can’t be so easily replicated by other social media giants.

Apple to Shift Entire US iPhone Assembly to India by 2026

Apple - StartupStories

Apple is set to relocate all assembly of iPhones destined for the US market from China to India by the end of 2026, marking its biggest manufacturing shift in decades. The move is driven by escalating US-China trade tensions and steep tariffs—up to 145% on Chinese imports—making Chinese assembly increasingly costly for Apple. Although some smartphone imports are temporarily exempt, a 20% duty still applies to Chinese-made iPhones entering the US.

 

India, in contrast, offers a more favorable trade environment, with a paused 26% reciprocal tariff and ongoing negotiations for a bilateral trade deal with the US that could shield Indian exports from future levies. Apple plans to more than double its current iPhone output in India, aiming to assemble over 60 million units annually for the US market. The company already produces about 25% of its global iPhones in India, working with partners like Foxconn, Tata Electronics, and Pegatron.

 

This shift is part of Apple’s broader strategy to diversify its supply chain and reduce reliance on China amid geopolitical risks. However, the transition’s success will depend on how quickly India can scale up its manufacturing capabilities and the outcome of ongoing trade negotiations.

PhonePe

PhonePe’s PINCODE app has launched a 24×7 online medicine delivery service in Bangalore, Mumbai, and Pune, promising delivery of both prescription and over-the-counter medicines within 10 minutes from nearby local medical shops. Unlike conventional e-pharmacies that use dark stores, PINCODE partners exclusively with neighborhood pharmacies, enabling faster deliveries and supporting local businesses in the digital economy.

Customers without prescriptions can select a “no prescription” option when ordering; a qualified doctor then provides a free teleconsultation and issues a digital prescription compliant with telemedicine guidelines, ensuring seamless access to medicines. The app offers competitive pricing by passing discounts from local pharmacies directly to customers and charges no delivery fees.

PINCODE’s hyperlocal model enhances healthcare accessibility and convenience while empowering local pharmacies, helping them remain integral to their communities and stimulating local economic growth. Launched in 2023, the app focuses on quick commerce with an emphasis on speed, reliability, and supporting local sellers.

In summary, PhonePe’s PINCODE app is transforming medicine delivery in major Indian cities by combining ultra-fast 10-minute delivery, free doctor consultations, and a hyperlocal sourcing model that benefits both consumers and neighborhood pharmacies.
