Apple launched a slate of new iPhones on Tuesday loaded with the company's new A19 and A19 Pro chips. Along with an ultra-thin iPhone Air and other redesigns, the new phones come with a less flashy upgrade that could turn out to be the true killer feature. A security improvement called “Memory Integrity Enforcement” combines always-on chip-level protections with software defenses in an effort to harden iPhones against the most common—and commonly exploited—software vulnerabilities.

Texas joins six other US states and the country of Italy in banning these products. These legal challenges are adding barriers to an industry that’s still in its infancy and already faces plenty of challenges before it can reach consumers in a meaningful way. The agriculture sector makes up a hefty chunk of global greenhouse-gas emissions, with livestock alone accounting for somewhere between 10% and 20% of climate pollution.
