cnet.com See Full Bio 2026-02-14 11:02:00

The rumored iPhone 17 is likely to cost more than the iPhone 16. Let's just get that out of the way up front. But why it may cost more -- and how much more -- is still in question. President Donald Trump's self-imposed deadline of July 9 for the "reciprocal tariff" pause could finally cap his months-long trade roller coaster, which has resulted so far in tentative trade deals with Vietnam, the UK and China. However, there's still plenty up in the air, including how tariffs could impact a new iP

Apple's AI Research Has Failed So Spectacularly That It's Considering Just Letting OpenAI Power Siri

For the past few months, Apple has been mired in a tangled legal web of its own making. When the tech giant released the iPhone 16 back in September of 2024, it promised customers a suite of shiny new "Apple Intelligence" features, which would "roll out later this year and in the months following." At the crux of the sales pitch was a commitment to release an AI-powered version of Siri — in other words, a large language model (LLM) upgrade to Siri's ancient algorithm — which the company said co
