Bill Gates shared the news of the demise of his father William H. Gates Sr., in a blog post.  Bill Gates announced the news in a blog post saying his father passed away peacefully on Monday at their family residence in Washington.  William Gates was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease and is the most likely cause of his death.  

William Gates Sr.,was a well known civic leader, attorney and philanthropist and is also one of the key figures in the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.  In an obituary the family credited the patriarch with a “deep commitment to social and economic equity,” noting that he was responsible for the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation’s first efforts to improve global health as well as his advocacy for progressive taxation, especially unsuccessful efforts to pass a state income tax on the wealthy in Washington.

Bill Gates mentioned in his blog that his father always had the knack for taking a step back and looking at the bigger picture.  Bill Gates also mentions how his father’s legal advice has helped him a lot and other famous personalities which include Howard Schultz of Starbucks.

Bill said his father wrote him a letter and one of the excerpts from it was “I have cautioned you and others about the overuse of the adjective ‘incredible’ to apply to facts that were short of meeting its high standard. This is a word with huge meaning to be used only in extraordinary settings. What I want to say, here, is simply that the experience of being your father has been… incredible (sic.)”

Bill Gates summed up William H. Gates’ life in the best way possible in his blog post.  Bill said “I know he would not want me to overuse the word, but there is no danger of doing that now.  The experience of being the son of Bill Gates was incredible.  People used to ask my dad if he was the real Bill Gates.  The truth is, he was everything I try to be.  I will miss him every day (sic.)”

We at Startup Stories extend our deepest condolences to the Gates family as they mourn the death of William H. Gates Sr.

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.
