Apple’s foldable iPhone could be closer than ever. Creative Strategies founder Tim Bajarin joins the SmartTechCheck Podcast to discuss Apple’s rumored announcement, the media frenzy over iPods with cameras, and how AI is changing the work of technology analysts.

✅ What Apple’s foldable iPhone could mean for the smartphone market

✅ Why camera-equipped iPod rumors sparked such a strong media reaction

✅ How AI is changing technology research and analyst work

✅ Tim Bajarin’s take on Apple’s next moves

AI’s power problem is not just about generating more electricity. The bigger challenge is delivering dramatically more power inside the data center — all the way to increasingly dense AI racks.

In this new SmartTechCheck EduSeries episode on AI data center power, we examine “The Watt Ceiling” — why today’s low-voltage, AC-centric power architecture becomes increasingly difficult to scale as AI racks move from hundreds of kilowatts toward 1 megawatt of power per rack.

You’ll learn:

✅ Why AI is concentrating far more compute — and power — into the same physical space

✅ Why higher rack power creates an enormous current problem at low voltage

✅ How current drives more copper, heat and electrical losses

✅ Why multiple power-conversion stages matter more as rack density increases

✅ Why simply expanding today’s architecture becomes increasingly impractical

✅ Why the industry is moving toward higher-voltage power distribution — setting the stage for 800V DC

The key issue is no longer just: Can we generate enough electricity for AI?

It is also: Can the data center efficiently deliver that electricity to the hardware that needs it?
