Apple Foldable iPhone Delay
Apple’s rumored foldable iPhone is facing unexpected issues in early testing, potentially delaying its release, according to Nikkei and other reports.

Google AI Overviews Accuracy Concerns
Google’s AI Overviews—AI-generated summaries that appear at the top of search results—are raising serious concerns about accuracy and reliability. Even a disputed analysis suggesting 90% accuracy would still imply tens of millions of errors annually. A key issue is that over half of the “accurate” responses are considered ungrounded, meaning the cited sources don’t fully support the claims. Experts warn that users should verify information, as AI outputs can be influenced by false or misleading online content.

Microsoft Copilot Terms Criticism
Microsoft faced criticism for “legacy language” in its Copilot terms of use, last updated in October 2025, which warned users that the tool was “for entertainment purposes only” and could make mistakes. The company responded to the criticism by stating that the disclaimer no longer reflects how Copilot is used today and plans to update the language in a future revision to better align with the product’s evolution.
Intel Partners with Musk’s Terafab Project
Intel has partnered with Elon Musk’s Terafab AI chip initiative, which includes SpaceX and Tesla, to manufacture processors for robotics and data center applications. The collaboration aims to help achieve an ambitious goal of producing one terawatt of compute annually, with plans to build two advanced chip factories in Austin, Texas. Following the announcement, Intel’s shares rose by nearly 3%.
