Apple puts its products through a lot of tests during the development process, intended to ensure they have a long and reliable life even in challenging conditions. The company tests at least 10,000 iPhones prior to launch in an attempt to cover all the bases. It’s not often the iPhone maker lets outsiders into its labs, but Apple invited some of those attending WWDC 2025 to visit one to see for themselves the conditions it expects its gadgets to survive … To be clear, it’s not the first time

It lives in a crystalline space between intention and execution, where every word is precisely chosen, every brushstroke deliberate, every note inevitable, but only in your mind. In this prelapsarian state, the work is flawless because it is nothing: a ghost of pure potential that haunts the creator with its impossible beauty. This is the moment we learn to love too much.

James Gunn sure loves animals. We see this every week on social media as the DC Studios president posts photos of his pets but also in his filmmaking. It was famously the idea of bringing a raccoon to life that gave Gunn the confidence to tackle Guardians of the Galaxy for Marvel. And, with his upcoming film Superman, he found inspiration in a very similar way. “It was just difficult to figure out where I was going to come from with Superman,” Gunn said speaking to io9 in Los Angeles last week.
