The next iPhone may have this design feature after all

Rock and dust samples retrieved by NASA from the asteroid Bennu exhibit some of the chemical building blocks of life, according to research that provides some of the best evidence to date that such space rocks may have seeded early Earth with the raw ingredients that fostered the emergence of living organisms. The U.S. space agency's robotic OSIRIS-REx spacecraft in 2020 collected the samples from the near-Earth asteroid, a rocky remnant of a larger celestial body that had formed near the dawn of the solar system roughly 4.5 billion years ago. The samples were delivered to Earth in 2023 by parachute inside a capsule released by OSIRIS-REx that landed in the Utah desert.

Two-thirds of animal and plant populations are declining in genetic diversity, which makes it harder to adapt to environmental changes, according to research published Wednesday. Long before a species goes extinct, the population becomes smaller and more fragmented, shrinking the number of potential mates and therefore genetic mixing. “A surprisingly trend was that we saw genetic diversity declining even among" many species that aren't considered at risk, said co-author Catherine Grueber, a conservation biologist at the University of Sydney.

There is a little bit of a catch, however.

Three major changes to know for iOS 18.3 update for Apple iPhones

Semiconductor giant Intel (NASDAQ: INTC) is in the middle of an existential crisis. The company lacks a permanent CEO, its foundry-centric strategy is up in the air, market share losses are stressing financials, and its artificial intelligence (AI) chip efforts have largely floundered. While a lot is going wrong for Intel, the server CPU business is one area where the company has made legitimate progress.

Nvidia is coming for AMD's turf in AI and PCs, and analysts say the damage could be worse than expected.

The latest OS update is available now for Apple's iPhone and iPad devices, bringing a few enhancements and one big change for Apple Intelligence.

T-Mobile and Elon Musk's SpaceX are currently testing the Starlink cell network on a trial basis after receiving approval from the Federal Communications Commission in November last year. The trial offers 'text via satellite', while voice and data features will be added in the future, according to the T-Mobile website. T-Mobile initially only listed a few Android smartphones as eligible devices to test the network, but has now added iPhone devices with the latest iOS 18.3 software update.

Starbucks' new CEO, Brian Niccol, has a vision to make Starbucks into a classic coffeehouse, but he has to contend with an unusual challenge: the company's mobile orders are as disruptive as they are popular. "They come in flooding faster than our customer can get there," Niccol said in a call with investors on Tuesday. Niccol called out mobile ordering as a bottleneck five times during the call, and said the company -- which on Tuesday posted a smaller-than-expected drop in comparable sales -- would work toward sequencing mobile orders with the help of an algorithm to improve efficiency behind the counter.

DeepSeek's $6M AI breakthrough sent shockwaves through the market, but Gelsinger says investors are getting it all wrong.

Nvidia (NVDA) is falling 4% after Alibaba (BABA) reported today that its new AI model performs better than DeepSeek’s offering. The latter Chinese start-up’s model, which reportedly performed better than OpenAI’s product in a number of areas, cost only about $5.6 million to train, according to DeepSeek. BABA’s news may be renewing fears, first ignited […]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Federal Communications Commission Chair Brendan Carr said Monday the agency will drop a proposed Biden administration plan to ban broadband internet "bulk billing" for residents of apartments, condominiums and public housing. The plan promised to prohibit a requirement for tenants to pay for broadband, cable, and satellite service provided by a specific communications provider even if they did not wish to take the service. Carr, who took over as chair last week after being named by President Donald Trump, said the proposal "could have raised the price of internet service for Americans living in apartments by as much as 50%."

"A future where you’re just surrounded by robots is for certain," Huang says. Is this something to look forward to, or something to be wary of?

Quantum computing remains something of a holy grail in the world of technology: It promises a huge leap in computing power, but only if someone can figure out how to square away the fault rates that prevent any scaling of the tech. Now, one of the more promising quantum startups in Europe is announcing a big round of funding to help it work toward a solution. Alice & Bob, a Paris-based startup that is a pioneer in the area of cat qubit quantum architecture, has raised €100 million ($104 million).

Apple stock jumped Monday, proving itself resilient to the widespread AI stock sell-off Monday prompted by the release of Chinese firm DeepSeek’s new cost-effective artificial intelligence model.

The need for AI compute power will not go anywhere and Nvidia will thrive, says Pat Gelsinger.

Apple released new software updates on Monday, including iOS 18.3, which automatically opts users into Apple Intelligence, at least for newer devices. Unlike what the tech industry seems to think, or wants to believe, not everyone wants generative AI features enabled by default on their devices. You may want to switch off the new AI features because you are concerned about the AI industry’s impact on the environment or some of the political views of the industry’s top players, or you just don’t think it works very well right now — something that has so far been proven true with Apple Intelligence, so much so that there’s an entire subreddit dedicated to its fails.

(Reuters) -T-Mobile said on Wednesday it expected its wireless subscriber growth this year to exceed Wall Street estimates by more than double, due to strong demand for its premium 5G plans, sending its shares up more than 7% in early trading. The forecast followed a strong fourth quarter in which the U.S. telecom major posted industry-leading postpaid phone net additions of 903,000, which easily surpassed FactSet estimates of 858,500. T-Mobile's Go5G Next and Go5G Plus plans have resonated with customers as they bundle high-speed internet with popular services such as Netflix and Apple TV+.

Apple released the latest updates for its iPhone, iPad, and Mac operating systems on Monday, which included switching on Apple Intelligence by default for newer devices. As part of this batch of software updates, Apple also released several patches fixing security bugs, including a zero-day bug that “may have been actively exploited” — meaning hackers were using it to compromise devices — against users with iPhones running software older than iOS 17.2, which was released in December 2023. The bug was found in Core Media, the media engine that powers a range of Apple devices, and is now fixed across its product line, including iPhones, iPads, Macs, Apple TVs, Apple Watches, and its mixed-reality headset, Vision Pro.

The arrival of Chinese startup DeepSeek's artificial intelligence (AI) model is shaking up the US tech sector, with a particular impact on software. Brent Thill, senior analyst at Jefferies, joins Julie Hyman on Market Domination to discuss the recent development, suggesting it could be a positive shift. “It's really positive for software ... effectively, as AI costs drop on infrastructure, it helps democratize and brings it to the software layer," Thill explains. Thill emphasizes the importance of AI infrastructure, stating, "You don't have artwork without walls; you can't have AI apps without infrastructure," he says. "We're building all this infrastructure to then hang all the AI apps on top, and so what's happening now is we're getting proof that we're getting more efficient, we're effectively adding new capabilities to software, and that's going to help bring more opportunities to monetize on the software layer." Despite some initial skepticism, Thill believes the long-term shift from infrastructure to software will unlock new opportunities for growth and monetization in the industry.
