Apple’s upcoming iPhone will feature Arm’s next-generation chip technology designed for AI.

Apple's iPhone 16 is set to debut on Monday, featuring a next-generation chip based on Arm's latest design architecture. This marks a significant move by the Cupertino tech giant to integrate generative artificial intelligence into its smartphones. At the event, Apple will unveil the A18 chip, which utilizes SoftBank-owned Arm’s V9 chip design, according to sources familiar with the Financial Times. The adoption of the V9 architecture in the iPhone, which generates nearly half of Apple’s revenue, is a win for Arm, which has a long-term licensing agreement with Apple. Arm CEO Rene Haas has noted that V9 architecture earns double the royalties compared to its predecessor, V8. Arm’s chip architecture outlines a set of instructions that serve as the foundation for the chip’s design. T...

AI-powered coding secures nearly $1 billion in funding, positioning itself as a potential ‘killer app.’

AI-driven coding assistants have attracted nearly $1 billion in funding since the beginning of last year, signaling that software engineering may be emerging as the first "killer app" for generative artificial intelligence. Companies like Replit, Anysphere, Magic, Augment, Supermaven, and Poolside AI have raised $433 million this year alone, bringing the total to $906 million since January 2023, according to Dealroom data. This surge in investment highlights that computer programming is likely the first profession to be significantly transformed by the latest advancements in AI technology. "Today, software engineering and coding are the most impacted areas by AI," said Hadi Partovi, CEO of the education non-profit Code.org and a seasoned Silicon Valley investor who has advised ...

Elon Musk announces that X will cease operations in Brazil due to ‘censorship orders.’

Elon Musk announced on Saturday that the social media platform X will shut down its operations in Brazil "effective immediately."

UK Military Satellite Launches to Enhance Space Capability

The UK military has successfully launched its first dedicated Earth-imaging satellite. Named Tyche, this satellite, roughly the size of a washing machine, is equipped with high-resolution capabilities to monitor battlefield troop movements and vehicles. Tyche serves as a prototype, paving the way for a future constellation of satellites planned for this decade. These upcoming satellites will feature advanced sensors, with some designed to penetrate cloud cover and intercept radio communications. Tyche was launched aboard a SpaceX Falcon rocket from California, with lift-off occurring at 11:56 local time (19:56 BST). The satellite will orbit the Earth at an altitude of approximately 500 kilometers and is expected to function for at least five years. Historically, UK forces have ...
