The Survival Strategies of Generation Z in the Workplace: Keyboard Tapping and the Strategy of Pretending to be Busy in Meetings

5 April, 2025

As the COVID-19 pandemic gradually recedes, many businesses are beginning to require employees to return to the office. However, young workers from Generation Z face a challenge of how to "fake being busy" to meet their bosses' expectations.

Rising tariffs lead to soaring iPhone prices; experts point out that Apple faces a dilemma.

5 April, 2025

The United States has announced a 10% tariff on all countries, which could lead to a significant increase in iPhone prices. Experts point out that the saturated smartphone market and intensified competition limit the price increase potential for the iPhone, and suppliers are gradually withdrawing from Apple's supply chain in search of products with higher profits. According to estimates, if costs are passed on to consumers, the retail price of high-end iPhones could approach $2,300 (approximately NT$76,000). Analysts indicate that Apple needs to diversify its supply chain to cope with tariffs, but long-term challenges remain, and the new tariff policy has a significant impact on overall gross margins. Apple can mitigate the impact of price increases on consumers by collaborating with telecommunications companies to enhance subsidies and other measures.
