Building iPhones in India, Siri's Advantage, SoundCloud Is in Trouble

Today's Above Avalon email includes the following stories: 

  • Building iPhones in India
  • Siri's Advantage
  • SoundCloud Is in Trouble

We kick off today's email with a closer look at Apple's plans for bringing iPhone production to India. In recent weeks, we have gotten a better view of how Apple is thinking about its emerging markets opportunity. The email then turns to how Siri "learns" new languages. We go over my thoughts and observations on the process, including where I think Siri stands today. The discussion concludes with an update as to SoundCloud's long-term prospects. We go over the Recode article saying SoundCloud is running out of cash. We then discuss why I think SoundCloud is having trouble finding a buyer.
