Show Notes
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports Apple’s foldable iPhone remains on track for a September launch after all, contrary to a report from Nikkei Asia on Tuesday. The Tuesday article stated the likely delay was due to issues in testing and possible part procurement. Gurman’s sources shared the foldable is scheduled to debut in September alongside the introduction of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max, but production has not yet ramped up, meaning this info is not final. An Apple spokesperson declined to comment.

The government of Greece announced children under 15 years old will be banned from accessing social media platforms beginning January 1st, 2027. The legal framework is expected to be unveiled this summer. Greece’s Prime Minister announced the upcoming ban in a video posted to TikTok, in order to inform teens directly. The ban will not have exemptions for under-15s even with parental consent, with enforcement expected to be handled by a state-mandated application installed on all personal devices. The legislation will also include protections from alcohol and tobacco promotion, explicit content, and online gambling.

Valve says this version of Steam Link can stream up to 4K resolutions and dynamically adjust the display curve for panoramic mode.
