The star of Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event was undeniably the iPhone Air, a slim, much-rumored version of its new iPhone 17. It's only 5.6mm thick -- thinner than three stacked credit cards -- if you ignore the huge camera bump. But does anyone actually want a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro chip. It's also got a 48-megapixel fusion camera and a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera.

At a hearing Monday, US District Judge William Alsup blasted a proposed $1.5 billion settlement over Anthropic's rampant piracy of books to train AI. The proposed settlement comes in a case where Anthropic could have owed more than $1 trillion in damages after Alsup certified a class that included up to 7 million claimants whose works were illegally downloaded by the AI company. Instead, critics fear Anthropic will get off cheaply, striking a deal with authors suing that covers less than 500,0
