Ohio's recreational marijuana industry is gaining momentum, with sales reaching $76.3 million as of the end of September. When recreational cannabis shops <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40172821/its-official-ohio-begins-recreational-cannabis-sales-on-tuesday-heres-where-and-how-you-know-the">officially opened their doors </a>this past Aug. 6, sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/08/40492614/smoke-much-weed-ohio-38-5m-in-first-two-weeks-of-adult-use-sales-including-medical-marijuana">zoomed to over $22.5 million</a> in the first 12 days with medical marijuana contributing an additional $16 million.
In under two months, Ohio's legal weed market has moved over 8,813 pounds of plant materials and 1.2 million units of manufactured products through the state's 124 dual-use dispensaries that cater to both medical and recreational customers.
<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Neighboring Michigan: A Well-Established Competitor</h1>
Though Ohio's market is moving right along after last <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/23/11/35664155/ohio-legalizes-cannabis-and-overwhelmingly-approves-abortion-rights">November's legalization vote</a>, Michigan's industry is chugging ahead even faster. Recreational marijuana sales, which began there in 2019 have continued to rise despite Ohio's legalization. In August, for example, Michigan's total cannabis sales <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/cannabis/24/09/40831750/cannabis-sales-in-michigan-soar-to-295-4m-for-a-recording-breaking-august">hit a record-breaking $295.4 million</a> essentially indicating that weed vendors are retaining customers despite new competition from Ohio.
Why? "Frankly, it is still worth it for me to drive to Michigan to buy cannabis," one Ohioan from a Cleveland suburb told Benzinga. "Marijuana prices here [in Ohio] are still much higher than in Michigan. So it&#8217;s cheaper even after I pay for gas to drive both ways. "
Zach Gergich, a representative from Nectar, a dispensary in the college town of Bowling Green, Ohio, expressed optimism about Ohio's potential.
"We're five-to-10 times busier here depending on the day," Gergich <a href="https://www.13abc.com/2024/09/25/recreational-marijuana-sales-increasing-michigan-ohio/">told</a> 23ABC. "We've been crushing it up here."
Sales numbers, however, show that Ohio weed shops are not exactly crushing their competitors on the other side of the state line.

<h1 class="wp-block-heading">Plenty Of Weed Money To Go Around In Both States</h1>
While Ohio's fledgling market is showing promise, Michigan's resilience suggests it won't be easy for the Buckeye State to overtake its northern neighbor anytime soon. Although for now, both states seem to have plenty of demand to meet.
"I think it's only going to get more competitive. We'll see, you know, more licenses pop up for growers and processors and stuff like that," Gergich said. "So obviously more there, more of them, you know, prices should start we hopefully should see them fall a little bit and kind of get more competitive in that range."

As the curtain rises on the iPhone 16 Series, Apple enthusiasts are buzzing with anticipation. However, JPMorgan analyst Samik Chatterjee suggests that while the hype is palpable, the initial momentum for high-end models appears muted compared <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/quote/AAPL/news">to past launches</a>. 
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">iPhone 16: &#8216;Launch Lacking Early Momentum&#8217;</h2>
Chatterjee highlights that the rollout has faced a slight hiccup, primarily due to the unavailability of AI capabilities, which seems to be causing a pause among potential buyers.
In Chatterjee&#8217;s latest insights, he points out, "Early signs are indicating a robust product cycle; albeit, with the launch lacking early momentum for the high-end models." This may prompt consumers to hold off on their purchases until they can fully grasp the AI value proposition. 
As a result, JPMorgan has adjusted its near-term iPhone unit forecast, now estimating about 126 million iPhones sold in the second half of 2024, down from 130 million previously.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Medium-Term Prospects Are Bullish, Says Apple Analyst</h2>
Despite these short-term adjustments, Chatterjee maintains a bullish outlook on the medium-term prospects for Apple. He asserts, "We continue to forecast aggregate volumes for the 16 Series over the next four quarters to track ahead of both the 15 and 14 Series," indicating a confidence that consumer appetite for AI-integrated features will ramp up once they become widely available.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Upside Is Evident</h2>
The analyst's enthusiasm for the long-term potential is underpinned by expectations of a robust AI upgrade cycle. "We see upside in several aspects of the business&#8230; transformation of the company to Services, growth in the installed base, technology leadership, and optionality around capital deployment," he said
With this optimism, JPMorgan reiterates its price target for Apple at $265 by December 2025.
Investors might feel a pinch in the near term, as the excitement around AI upgrades may not translate into immediate sales.
But, as Chatterjee aptly puts it, "The slower start to the AI cycle than originally anticipated" is just a temporary roadblock to growth. The real treasure, he believes, lies just beyond the horizon as Apple continues to evolve and innovate.
While the iPhone 16 Series may not be breaking records just yet, the groundwork for a significant AI upgrade cycle is being laid, promising a future where Apple once again dazzles its fans and investors alike.

Apple Analyst Signals 'Slower Start To The AI Cycle' As iPhone 16 Demand Softens

Consumer Reports recently reviewed the Tesla Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) Cybertruck and shared its likes and dislikes about the electric pickup truck that began consumer deliveries <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/analyst-ratings/analyst-color/23/11/36032944/cybertruck-delivery-event-elon-musk-highlights-teslas-best-product-says-finally-the">in November 2023.</a>
What Happened: Known for its unique design, the Cybertruck has<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/03/37852639/tesla-cybertruck-the-new-celebrity-fashion-accessory-steve-aoki-big-sean-latest-to-own-ev"> attracted demand from celebrities</a> and fans of Tesla vehicles and CEO Elon Musk.
The vehicle has also sold well compared to other electric pickup trucks on the market, even though it has a higher price point than some.
In its review <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q49hsOZKKxU" target="_blank" rel="noopener">video</a>, Consumer Reports reviewer Alex Knizek points to steering as one of the features he liked the least about the Cybertruck. Knizek also said he disliked engaging the turn signal, which removed the rearview camera and replaced it with a blind spot camera.
The reviewer said one of his favorite parts is the giant windshield wiper. Knizek also highlighted that driving the Cybertruck was met with peace signs and thumbs up from nearby people, and the vehicle generated strong reactions that were mostly positive.
The Cybertruck&#8217;s review on the Consumer Reports <a href="https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/tesla/cybertruck/2024/road-test-report/#pagestop" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website </a>includes sections on power and braking, ride and handling, front visibility, comfort, and bed storage.
Speaking of the six-foot bed in the review video, Knizek said the Cybertruck is "even a pretty decent pickup truck."
The website review highlights several drawbacks of the Cybertruck, including limited visibility aside from the front, steering issues, camera performance, difficulty with cleaning, challenges in the delivery process, the price point, and the "usual Tesla shenanigans."

</ul>
Why It's Important: Most of the Cybertruck reviews to date have come from Tesla fans and influencers who waited a long time to get their hands on the vehicle. Many of these reviewers may already be fans of Tesla vehicles and slightly biased.
Consumer Reports is well-known for its reviews, and its mixed reviews of the Cybertruck may come off as positive for the Tesla electric pickup truck.
The review highlighted several features,, including Tesla&#8217;s technological advancements and how the Cybertruck still holds its own as a pickup truck despite what some consider a look that is anything but a truck.
TSLA Price Action: Tesla shares were down 3.4% to $249.02 on Wednesday, versus a 52-week trading range of $138.80 to $271.00. Tesla stock is trading nearly flat year-to-date in 2024.

As Rockstar Games&#8216; next installment in the Grand Theft Auto series gets closer to its anticipated release window, excitement around the title is as high as it&#8217;s ever been — <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/entertainment/24/06/39555552/rockstar-games-co-founder-reveals-why-gta-movie-never-made-sense">for most</a>.
What To Know: Fans of the series appear to have gotten another sneak peek at what&#8217;s coming in Grand Theft Auto VI (GTA 6).
According to a GamingBible<a href="https://www.gamingbible.com/news/gta-6-leaked-gameplay-screenshot-033212-20241002"> report</a>, X account &#8220;GTA 6 Countdown&#8221; recently shared a series of leaks, including an AI-generated image that sent fans into a frenzy.
Rockstar Games has a long history of leaks, so the latest reveal shouldn&#8217;t come as a surprise. But this particular leak is getting a lot of attention: Rockstar Games parent company Take-Two Interactive Software Inc (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TTWO#NASDAQ">TTWO</a>) sent a Digital Millennium Copyright Act notice to the X creator on Tuesday, forcing the user to take down the image.
Several GTA 6 fans speculated that the image might have been an actual screenshot of the gameplay given Take-Two&#8217;s response to the post before one X user noticed it was an enhanced version of an earlier gameplay screenshot released in 2022.
Another fan suggested that the image was a concept created with <a href="http://benzinga.com/topic/ai">AI</a> and that Take-Two&#8217;s system likely mistook the image for a leaked screenshot.

<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-width="500" data-dnt="true">This leak has been pretty much confirmed, as we just received a DMCA takedown from Rockstar's parent company, Take-Two. <a href="https://t.co/sxrlKzPT0w">https://t.co/sxrlKzPT0w</a>

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></div>

All of the excitement surrounding potential leaks comes as Rockstar Games gears up to release the second trailer for GTA 6 on Oct. 4. 
The game itself is expected to be released in the fall of 2025, as announced in the<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/12/36119465/gta-6-trailer-breaks-records-surpasses-108-million-views-in-less-than-48-hours-outshining-predeces"> first trailer</a> for the highly-anticipated game. 
The original trailer set a 24-hour viewership record for YouTube video game reveals and had more than 100 million views within 48 hours. Interestingly enough, the first trailer leaked a day ahead of its planned release.

GTA 6 may very well be the most anticipated video game release of all time, but not for X owner Elon Musk.
In an X post from late 2023 shortly after the first GTA 6 trailer was released, Musk noted that he once tried to play the game, but &#8220;didn&#8217;t like doing crime.&#8221;
&#8220;GTA5 required shooting police officers in the opening scene. Just couldn't do it,&#8221; Musk said in the <a href="https://x.com/elonmusk/status/1731894072300699768?lang=en">post</a>.

The Grand Theft Auto series is known for violence and plot lines focused on organized crime. Rockstar Games has sold more than <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/24/05/38900608/gta-5-surpasses-200-million-copies-sold-only-two-games-have-outsold-it#">200 million copies</a> of Grand Theft Auto V since it was released in 2013. 
Although Musk isn&#8217;t a fan of the game, he&#8217;s no stranger to gaming. The eccentric billionaire <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/general/gaming/23/08/33610477/elon-musk-lover-of-video-games-has-praise-for-this-record-breaking-title-and-its-not-elden-ring">made several posts</a> in 2022 on X, then-Twitter, about popular game&nbsp;Elden Ring. He also praised the creators of Diablo IV last year, calling it a &#8220;great&#8221; game.
Musk has made a push to get more gamers to livestream on X over the past year and recently began sponsoring gamers on the X platform through <a href="https://x.com/XGaming">X Gaming</a>. 
X Gaming made a <a href="https://x.com/XGaming/status/1834412970811728126">post</a> last month highlighting a new deal with some of the world&#8217;s top streamers.
