Apple’s iPhone SE 4 Is Dropping This Week

Apple is gearing up to announce the new iPhone SE this week, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. No flashy event - just a classic Apple press release drop.

What to expect:

• Bigger & better – A 6.1-inch OLED display (goodbye, chunky bezels).

• Face ID upgrade – Finally ditching the Touch ID home button.

• New ports, new power – USB-C, a 48MP camera, and the first Apple-designed 5G modem.

• AI-ready – With an A18 chip and 8GB RAM, it should support Apple Intelligence.

• Price bump incoming? – The current $429 price might jump to $499.

The current iPhone SE still looks like an iPhone 8 relic, so this refresh is long overdue. Will it still be the budget king, or is Apple creeping up the price ladder? We’ll find out soon.

Sam Altman’s AI Crystal Ball

Sam Altman just dropped a blog post that reads like a trailer for the future of AI—except this one isn’t sci-fi, it’s a roadmap. He lays out three big takeaways: AI gets smarter as you throw more money at it, the cost of using AI is plummeting (think 10x cheaper every 12 months), and the economic impact of smarter AI will be supercharged.

Here’s the breakdown:

• AI scales with cash: The more money spent on compute and training, the smarter it gets.

• Cost is dropping fast: GPT-4o’s per-token price is 150x cheaper than GPT-4 was in early 2023.

• Exponential impact: AI’s intelligence grows linearly, but its economic impact snowballs.

What does that mean for us? AI isn’t going to replace humans overnight, but Altman envisions a future where AI agents - think virtual coworkers - handle complex knowledge tasks across industries. The transistor revolutionized computing; AI could do the same for intelligence.

But here’s the kicker: while AI might make life cheaper and more efficient, power dynamics between capital and labor could get dicey. Altman suggests radical ideas like universal access to AI’s computational power. One thing’s for sure - AGI is coming, and it’s going to change everything.

Watch Kendrick Lamar’s Apple Music Halftime Show

Missed the Apple Music Halftime Show during Super Bowl LIX? No worries—you can now watch Kendrick Lamar’s full performance on the NFL’s official YouTube channel.

The highlights:

• Kendrick Lamar headlined the show with his signature high-energy performance.

• Special guests included SZA, DJ Mustard, Serena Williams, and even Samuel L. Jackson (yes, really).

• No embeds allowed – The NFL isn’t letting sites host the video, so you’ll need to hit up YouTube directly.

Lamar’s halftime show marked another hip-hop-driven spectacle for the NFL, following last year’s Usher-led performance. The mix of music, sports, and pop culture is exactly why people tune in—well, that and the commercials.

T-Mobile Starlink: Satellite Service for Everyone (Yes, Even Verizon Users)

T-Mobile made waves during the Super Bowl by announcing its T-Mobile Starlink service—but here’s the twist: you don’t even need to be a T-Mobile customer to use it.

The key details:

• Free until July – The public beta is open now, and testing won’t cost a dime.

• Not just for T-Mobile users – Verizon and AT&T customers can sign up too.

• Pricing after beta – Included free with Go5G Next plans, $15/month for other T-Mobile plans, and $20/month for non-T-Mobile users.

• Satellite-powered connection – Ideal for dead zones, but only supports texting for now (voice and data coming later).

T-Mobile Starlink, developed in partnership with SpaceX, beams text messages from low-orbit satellites moving at 17,000 mph—covering 500,000 square miles of the U.S. that traditional cell towers can’t reach.

It’s a fascinating move: T-Mobile is extending satellite connectivity to everyone, even competitors’ customers. The real question? Whether people will pay for occasional emergency coverage in remote areas - or just stick to Wi-Fi and good old-fashioned carrier networks.
