Appleβs Starlink Update Sparks Huge Earning Opportunity
Apple just secretly added Starlink satellite support to iPhones through iOS 18.3.
One of the biggest potential winners? Mode Mobile.
Modeβs EarnPhone already reaches 490M+ users that have earned over $1B, and thatβs before global satellite coverage. With SpaceX eliminating "dead zones," Mode's earning technology can now reach billions more in unbanked and rural populations worldwide.
Their global expansion is perfectly timed, and investors like you still have a chance to invest in their pre-IPO offering at $0.52/share.
With their recent 32,481% revenue growth and newly reserved Nasdaq ticker, Mode is one step closer to a potential IPO.
Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com. This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobileβs Regulation A+ Offering.
Mode Mobile recently received their ticker reservation with Nasdaq ($MODE), indicating an intent to IPO in the next 24 months. An intent to IPO is no guarantee that an actual IPO will occur.
The Deloitte rankings are based on submitted applications and public company database research, with winners selected based on their fiscal-year revenue growth percentage over a three-year period.

π MACRO BACKDROP β THE BIG PICTURE
Wednesday, July 1, 2026 opens the second half of the year with a market at the crossroads of two massive macro forces. The Dow just posted its best first half in five years, jumping over 100 points to close out the best first half in 5 years, and the Nasdaq posted its best quarter since 2020 β but pre-market futures are fractionally lower as traders hold their breath ahead of the ADP number and Fed Chair Kevin Warsh's 9 AM ET remarks. CNBC
The dominant macro narrative for H2 2026 is the unwinding of the Iran War supply shock. Crude oil fell toward $70 per barrel on Tuesday, paring gains from the previous session as investors turned their focus to the resumption of US-Iran peace talks in Doha, while mixed signals from both sides continued to cloud the outlook. The Strait of Hormuz is normalizing, which is slamming energy prices but unleashing a relief rally across consumer discretionary, transportation, and tech sectors that depend on input cost stability. TRADING ECONOMICS
Simultaneously, global disinflation is accelerating. Eurozone CPI missed to the downside (2.8% vs 3.0% expected), Challenger layoffs hit their lowest since December 2025, and Eurozone ECB officials remain hawkish but divided. The Fed's Kevin Warsh speaks at 9 AM ET β his first major public appearance as Fed Chair β and markets will dissect every syllable for rate-cut signals heading into Q3 2026. Fed Chair Kevin Warsh noted that central bank officials view the job market as steady or slightly strengthening, with the jobless rate staying at 4.3% for three months in a row. IndexBox

π₯ HOT SECTOR #1: π€ TECHNOLOGY / AI β MSFT RESTRUCTURING TRADE
Microsoft Corp. is reportedly preparing to announce another round of layoffs next week, with thousands of employees across sales, consulting, and its Xbox gaming business expected to be affected. Microsoft's shares closed 1.21% higher at $373.02 on Tuesday and gained an additional 0.68% to $375.55 in after-hours trading. The market is reading this as classic AI-transition cost discipline β the same playbook that sent META up 200% in 2023 after its "Year of Efficiency." July 1 is the start of MSFT's new fiscal year, historically their restructuring announcement window. Benzinga
MSFT shares fell 23% in the first six months of the year, marking their worst half-year performance since 2000 and the weakest showing among the Magnificent Seven stocks in H1 2026, coming under pressure from a broader selloff in software stocks, hefty capital spending plans, and intensifying AI competition. With the GF Score at 92/100 and the stock currently ~33% undervalued per GuruFocus, a fiscal year catalyst + layoff efficiency read = compelling bounce setup. Stocktwits
