Gear News of the Week: iPhone 17 May Be a Month Away, and Sonos to Raise Prices

If rumors are correct, Apple's annual iPhone event will take place exactly a month from today, on September 9. That's according to a German website citing internal documents from German mobile phone providers, but the date was also previously suggested by Bloomberg's Apple whisperer, Mark Gurman. Leaks about Apple's upcoming smartphone lineup have heated up in recent weeks. Apple is expected to debut four iPhones as usual, with one key distinction.

Truth Social’s New AI Chatbot Is Donald Trump’s Media Diet Incarnate

wired.com Guthrie Scrimgeour 2026-01-15 15:20:48

When I ask the new Truth Social AI chatbot about navigating bias in the media ecosystem, it gives what I view as pretty reasonable advice. “Diversify your sources,” it responds. “Rely on news outlets across the political spectrum, including those from both left-leaning and right-leaning perspectives.” This is advice that the AI itself may not be taking to heart. For instance, to come to the above answer it cites five sources, four of which are Fox News articles. The fifth, inexplicably, is a 4

Apple taught an LLM to predict tokens up to 5x faster in math and coding tasks

A new research paper from Apple details a technique that speeds up large language model responses, while preserving output quality. Here are the details. The nerdy bits Traditionally, LLMs generate text one token at a time. This is slow because each step depends on all the previous ones to keep the output coherent and accurate.

So when I saw rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro could arrive in colors such as orange, I started dreaming about a world where Apple's best phones exude a sense of fun like their siblings.

On the latest dev beta, Apple has added a toggle to revert the behavior to the original.
