Apple is developing seven virtual and augmented reality devices at once.

A 13-year-old student named Dylan found a critical vulnerability in Microsoft Teams, and was hired by the company for this.

The Bug Bounty team changed the program's conditions to allow Dylan to participate from the age of 13. He was also offered to collaborate with Microsoft's Security Response Team (MSRC).

Dylan is now the youngest and most productive member of the group. Last summer, he found 20 different vulnerabilities, and recently placed 3rd in the Zero Day Quest hacking championship.

The entire iPhone 17 lineup has been leaked online, and the new devices will look like this:

About the innovations and changes:

• This year, Apple has discontinued the Plus model;
• The basic iPhone 17 is almost identical to the iPhone 16;
• The Pro and Pro Max models have a lower placement of the Apple logo due to the larger camera module;
• The iPhone 17 Air model will also be included in the series, and it will be almost half the thickness of its counterparts, with a unique camera module.

The iPhone 17 Pro will be liquid—Apple's flagship may get a Liquid Glass color
Chinese insiders write that Cupertino is preparing a new iridescent shade of the case, which visually resembles white, but plays different shades under the light.

Such a variant was allegedly made specifically for the redesign of the interface in iOS 26. Whether this is true, we will find out in September.

Elon Musk announced that Tesla has signed a $16.5 billion contract with Samsung to supply chips for electric vehicles.

OpenAI has suddenly made two models available to the public for the first time in six years. They are almost as good as GPT o3 and o4-mini.

Features:
— They can be run on a home computer or smartphone without any subscriptions;
— They outperform all available free models, even the most advanced Chinese ones;
— They can have long conversations without losing the thread;
— They support tools such as searching the internet, writing code, and more.
— Models automatically use tools to solve multi-step problems. They can both analyze someone else's code and create their own from scratch.

By the way, GPT-5, potentially the most powerful neural network in the world, could be unveiled on August 7. Unless, of course, something changes.

Rumors: The iPhone 17e will feature a new design, a Dynamic Island, the A19 chip, and more, and will be released next year.

The MacBook Pro M5 announcement could happen as early as tomorrow.

The teaser has already been released, so we're waiting, Tim Cook.

Apple is preparing for a major deal with SpaceX. According to rumors, the iPhone 18 Pro will be able to connect to Starlink satellite internet directly next year.

Currently, iPhones can send SOS messages through satellites, but this only works for emergencies and does not provide full internet access.

If the partnership with SpaceX is confirmed, users will be able to access the internet from anywhere in the world, whether in the mountains or in the ocean.

Google showed the first advertisement made entirely by artificial intelligence. In short, here not only the video sequence was made by AI, but also the idea, voice acting, and positioning.

Robert Wong, co-founder of Google Creative Lab, said in an interview with The Wall Street Journal that they do not plan to use tools like Veo 3 in each campaign.

Well, we can say that Veo 3 can really kill a few small productions that are engaged in advertising. But can AI replace human creativity in general? Of course not. So far, such campaigns are rare, and their success can only be described as anecdotal evidence, but those who fail to prepare and master the new tool will be left behind.

The sands of time have crumbled
Ubisoft has canceled the remake of Prince of Persia, which was promised to be released this year. Along with Prince of Persia, five other games have been cut, and the company itself is facing restructuring, which will be followed by more layoffs.

Ubisoft will now be divided into five genre-specific divisions to focus on its top hits, such as Assassin's Creed and Far Cry.
