Apple unveiled a wave of new hardware including the MacBook Air M5, refreshed MacBook Pro models with next-gen chips, two brand-new Studio Display monitors, the iPhone 17e, and the iPad Air M4 — with major spec upgrades across the board and some notable price changes. But the tech world's attention is also fixed on a explosive showdown between the US government and AI companies over national security, surveillance, and constitutional rights, with OpenAI's Sam Altman making a stunning public statement.

In gaming, Nintendo's Switch 2 is getting a celebrated indie hit, and Call of Duty is reviving a fan-favorite mode. Plus, a landmark Supreme Court decision on AI-generated art has just set a major precedent for the creative industry.
