Affordable EVs are on a lot of people’s minds these days, but one name is missing from the conversation. Volkswagen launched its ID family of EVs seven years ago with the promise of electric mobility for “the millions, not millionaires,” but in the United States at least, the promise remains just that. The VW Group has lavished resources on its luxury brands Audi and Porsche, and even created the new Scout brand to challenge Rivian, but it’s let its namesake brand stagnate.

A new report now adds weight to that claim, indicating that Apple plans to prioritize its premium models this year. Sources familiar with Apple’s plans told Nikkei Asia that the company is aiming to launch three premium models in the second half of the year, including the…

Dubbed as FLEXI, the chip could allow future wearables to run artificial intelligence independently, without constantly offloading data to a phone or the cloud.
