A report from CICC suggests that core third-generation compound semiconductor devices like SiC and GaN are poised to benefit from upgrades in data center power systems, driven by the increasing demand for AI computing power. The report anticipates 2026 as a pivotal year for the widespread adoption of high-voltage architectures in data centers, with SiC expected to dominate in the "gray area" (server room side) and GaN to see significant penetration in the "white area" (within cabinets). Separately, a ransomware attack on Apple's Indian supplier, Tata Electronics, has led to the leak of sensitive component and supplier lists, including details about the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro, potentially impacting Apple's supply chain and relationships.
