Apple’s upcoming iOS 26 update introduces a new feature designed to make iPhone batteries last longer—not just between charges, but across the entire lifespan of the device. The feature, called ‘Adaptive Battery Health’, uses on-device machine learning to monitor charging patterns, ambient temperature, and usage intensity, dynamically adjusting how power is delivered to the phone’s battery. HOW ADAPTIVE BATTERY HEALTH WORKS Unlike Apple’s existing “Optimized Battery Charging,” which slows charging overnight to reduce wear, the new system takes a more holistic approach. Adaptive Battery Health learns from each user’s daily behavior and adjusts charging voltage and current in real time, while also limiting maximum charge under certain conditions. If the iPhone detects that it’s exposed to heat—for example, charging in a hot car—it will automatically slow charging or stop before…

For decades, Silicon Valley has lived with the cycles of economic shocks, trade wars, and regulatory battles. Tariffs on electronics, supply-chain disruptions, and even antitrust crackdowns have all been framed as existential moments for the tech industry. But ask executives today what keeps them up at night, and the answer is strikingly consistent: the fear of falling behind in artificial intelligence. While trade disputes with China and shifting tariff policies may raise costs and complicate global operations, leaders across the Valley increasingly see those challenges as manageable. What they worry about is missing the AI wave—a once-in-a-generation platform shift that could reorder the hierarchy of global tech companies and redefine which nations set the pace of innovation. WHY TARIFFS ARE NO LONGER THE BIGGEST HEADACHE Tariffs undeniably create friction. When…

Apple is reportedly weighing the addition of built-in 5G connectivity to future MacBooks, a move that could transform how users think about laptops and mobile work.

Apple is continuing its steady rollout of digital identification, with the Apple Wallet now supporting driver’s licenses and state IDs in an eleventh U.S. state. The expansion marks another milestone in Apple’s push to make the iPhone and Apple Watch central to how users carry and present identity, while also testing how quickly governments and regulators are willing to adopt digital-first credentials. HOW APPLE WALLET IDS WORK The feature allows users to add their driver’s license or state-issued ID directly into the Wallet app, in much the same way boarding passes and credit cards are stored. Once verified, the digital ID can be used at participating TSA checkpoints in select airports, with users simply tapping their iPhone or Apple Watch against an identity reader. Instead of handing over a physical…

Google is deepening its clean energy commitments in the U.S. with a new deal that will see electricity from an advanced nuclear facility supply its massive data centers in Tennessee and Alabama. The agreement, announced this week by the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) and Google, marks a significant milestone in both the deployment of next-generation nuclear technology and the tech giant’s quest to achieve round-the-clock carbon-free energy by 2030. THE DEAL AT A GLANCE The TVA confirmed it will purchase power from a forthcoming small modular reactor (SMR) project, with portions of that electricity earmarked specifically for Google’s regional data centers. These sprawling facilities—critical to powering Google Search, YouTube, and its expanding artificial intelligence services—require immense amounts of electricity. Nuclear energy, with its ability to generate steady, carbon-free power, offers…

Apple is stepping up its fight against expanding government demands for access to private user data, clashing with lawmakers in the United Kingdom while simultaneously facing mounting scrutiny in the United States. The company this week pushed back against proposals in the UK that critics say could weaken encryption and undermine core privacy protections, while U.S. politicians raise parallel concerns about the power of Big Tech to shield—or expose—sensitive user information. THE UK’S CONTROVERSIAL SURVEILLANCE PUSH In London, legislators have been weighing amendments to the Investigatory Powers Act (IPA), a sweeping surveillance law originally passed in 2016. The proposed changes would give the Home Office expanded oversight over how tech companies implement new security features, effectively requiring companies like Apple to notify the government before rolling out encryption updates or…
