Apple Intelligence on iPhone is now $200 cheaper — with just two small trade-offs

Netflix's content briefly showed up in the Apple TV app

Breaking: Someone made an oopsie. On Thursday, word spread online that some of Netflix's content began appearing in the Apple TV app. The lack of an official announcement (and extremely buggy nature) of the integration was enough to cast doubt on the news. But that didn't stop users from rejoicing and sharing "FINALLY!" GIFs on social media. Unfortunately, your triumphant festivities weren't warranted, as the company has said it was unintentional. A Netflix spokesperson told The Verge on Friday

Multiple Russia-aligned threat groups are actively targeting the Signal Messenger application of individuals likely to exchange sensitive military and government communications related to the country's war with Ukraine. For now, the activity appears limited to persons of interest to Russia's intelligence services, according to researchers at Google's Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG), who spotted it recently.

Malaysia is betting on data centers to boost its economy

JOHOR BAHRU, Malaysia (AP) — Winson Lau has always had contingency plans. But he wasn’t prepared for data centers.

Economic considerations aside, the iPhone 16E represent

Yesterday, the cheapest iPhone cost $429 if you wanted to buy directly from Apple. Today? It's $599.

The overhaul is so big that the iPhone 16e is essentially a new class of device in Apple's smartphone lineup, hence the name change. (Apple didn't say what the “e” stands for.)

The problem was that it wasn’t really clear what the AI Pin would do to justify its $700 asking price (plus a $24/month subscription). It didn’t take long for things to spiral out of control. The AI Pin was released in
