The push reportedly threatens future US and UK tech agreements, with some American leaders viewing it as a red line. Apple publicly opposed the demand earlier this year, citing user privacy and security concerns. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports in his latest Power on newsletter that iOS27 will prioritize features tailored to Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone that's expected in 2026. Gurman says Apple wants to address common foldable shortcomings like display creases and hinge durability.

T Mobile is the first US carrier to roll out L4S that stands for low latency, low loss, scalable throughput on its 5G advanced network meant to cut lag in video calls, cloud gaming and other real time apps, T Mobile CTO John Saw told the Verge the upgrade helps devices adjust to network congestion in real time with no special plans or hardware needed, and adding that the feature is already live in several cities and expanding, but without much more detail.

Meta is switching from a WinUI native experience to one built on Microsoft's Edge with WebView 2 tech, which simplifies development but also results in more basic UI, different notifications and higher RAM usage. The new app adds support for channels, status and communities. A new study from Common Sense Media found that 73% of U.S. teens that are polled have used AI chatbots like Character, AI Replica or Nomi for entertainment support or even roleplay. The majority of teens say they still prefer human interaction, but around a third reported discussing serious matters with AI or finding chatbots as satisfying as human ones. The report raises concerns from some about addiction, data privacy and emotional development, recommending that teens in some cases avoid AI companions altogether.

Polygon says if you're a gamer and you're missing out on Donkey Kong bonanza because you don't have a switch to maybe revisit Super Mario Odyssey, a 2017 classic from the same dev team, with Polygon noting its inventive platforming, possession mechanics and retro inspired levels still make it one of the Switch's best.
