Hi all,

Here’s your Monday round-up of data driving conversations this week — all in less than 250 words.


  1. Costly tariffs. The iPhone 16 Pro is projected to be 54% more expensive to manufacture under Trump’s tariffs.

  2. Moore’s law lives. Chinese scientists create the world’s smallest transistor gate at 0.34 nanometers — roughly the width of a single carbon atom.

  3. AI codes. Gumroad reports the AI software engineer ‘Devin’ handled 41% of the company’s recent public releases.

  4. AI optimism gap. Pew Research finds AI experts far more positive about AI’s future than the US general public.
