Tech media AppleInsider reported that JPMorgan Chase refuted rumors that Apple had cut orders due to weak demand in iPhone 2018, and raised Apple's target stock price from $340 to $360. The bank believes that the adjustments are part of Apple's annual routine production changes. At the same time, it lowered its forecast for Apple's performance in the December quarter, but stated that demand in iPhone 2018 is higher than in iPhone 2017.

On October 13th, according to a report from technology media AppleInsider, the same day (October 12th), it was reported that JPMorgan Chase refuted reports suggesting weak Pro demand and reduced orders. JPMorgan raised its target stock price for Apple (AAPL) from $340 to $360, an increase of $20.

In an investor report released on October 12, JPMorgan Chase refuted reports that Apple had cut orders due to weak demand for iPhone and Pro, and advised investors to focus on the longer-term fundamentals.

JPMorgan Chase had previously lowered its target price for Apple to $340 in July 2026 (Note from IT: The current exchange rate is approximately 2,278 yuan) due to concerns about limited supply. In response to recent rumors of order cuts, analysts at the bank stated that these changes are within the scope of Apple's annual routine production adjustments.

It also lowered Apple's quarterly performance forecast for December, but attributed the reason to the iPhone release schedule in 2026 being split into two parts. Analysts expect that potential buyers of the basic or entry-level iPhone model will wait for the new models to be released at the beginning of 2027, thus creating a temporary sales gap.

JPMorgan Chase believes that although the growth rate is limited, the current demand for iPhone 18 Pro is higher than that for iPhone 17 Pro. Analysts expect that the phased listing strategy will drive an increase in sales of the Pro model. The iPhone Duo is expected to be launched at the end of October, and its sales are expected to fully make up for the gap caused by the absence of the basic models.

JPMorgan Chase predicts that Apple's quarterly earnings in September will only slightly exceed industry expectations, with supply constraints remaining a factor affecting performance. For the December quarter, the bank expects iPhone Duo sales to be around 8.5 million units; due to the shortage of non-Pro models, iPhone revenue is expected to decline by about 2% year-on-year.

Samsung Wallet prepares to integrate with USDC: Solana enters the mobile phone ecosystem, but its launch is still scheduled for the end of the month.
Stablecoin companies have always wanted to move from trading platforms to become a part of everyday payment tools for ordinary people, and this time it's mobile wallets that are set to be the entry point. Samsung USA and the official representatives of Solana have disclosed that Samsung Wallet plans to offer stablecoin functionality to eligible US Galaxy users in the last week of October. The initial rollout will focus on USDC, with Solana being one of the related transfer infrastructures. What can be confirmed today is the window for cooperation and reservation; it's not appropriate to claim that the feature, which has not yet been released, is already available to all mobile users. Samsung has also listed other infrastructure partners, so the statement that “Samsung Wallet only uses Solana” is also not accurate.

British banks say financing volumes are increasing, but deposits and costs are not moving in the same direction.
Also on October 8th, the Bank of England released another report that can easily be confused with credit surveys: the 'Bank Lending Survey' for the third quarter of 2026. This report examines where banks obtain funds, what costs they incur, and whether they are able to continue raising capital, rather than whether residents or businesses can obtain loans. The surveyed banks indicated that overall financing volumes increased in the third quarter and expect this trend to continue into the fourth quarter; however, retail deposits, corporate deposits, and other sources of financing did not all move in the same direction. When discussing a bank's lending capacity, it is often more relevant to look at the liability side first than to focus solely on loan interest rates, as this provides a closer approximation of the actual constraints faced by banks.

UK credit survey sends two signals: household borrowing is tighter, but banks expect a slight easing by the end of the year
The Bank of England's "Credit Conditions Survey" for the third quarter of 2026, released on October 8th, does not present a simple story of "easing" or "tightening." Loan institutions surveyed reported that in the just-passed quarter, the availability of both mortgaged and unsecured loans to households declined; they also expect that by the fourth quarter, these two types of credit supply will improve slightly. These two statements are not contradictory, as the former describes a period that has already occurred, while the latter is merely the institutions' forecast for the next phase. If one were to interpret these forecasts as having already materialized, it would be premature to draw conclusions about the market.

Microsoft Announces Maia 300 Route: Chips Not Yet Mass-Produced, but the Calculation of Computing Power Has Already Begun to Be Rewritten
On October 12, Microsoft disclosed its deployment plan for the new generation of Azure Maia 300. The most eye-catching term in the headline is “terawatts,” but the timeline is even more important: the production and deployment of Maia 300 are expected to begin in 2027, with plans to scale up to terawatt levels following that. The current generation, Maia 200, has already been put into production and is used for Copilot related tasks; Microsoft also stated that the use of GitHub Copilot and Foundry will follow later this year. If these stages are mixed together, it’s possible to mistakenly describe a future expansion plan as a fact that has already been implemented today.

Meta Pushes Muse Wonder to Developers: The Real Test Has Just Begun with the New Model
Meta This time, they didn't just release a single model demonstration video. On October 12th, the company launched the Muse Wonder series, and integrated Wonder with Meta Model API and Muse Code; the more capable Wonder Full is first available to subscribers of Muse Code. For readers accustomed to following rankings, this is where confusion often arises: the debut of models and the availability of some products are not the same as the full opening of the entire ecosystem. Meta also mentioned plans to expand the reach of Muse in the future, but that is still a planned action for the future and cannot be considered as an achievement completed on that day.
