Apple executives say iPhone Duo design was leaked, enabling competitor copycats

Apple CEO John Ternus and marketing chief Greg Joswiak addressed similarities between the iPhone Duo and rival folding phones in a recent interview with TechRadar and Tom's Guide. Joswiak acknowledged that leaks had revealed Apple was developing a foldable device, including details about its aspect ratio. Apple and its competitors share many of the same global suppliers, making it difficult to keep product development fully confidential. Despite not being the first to announce a passport-shaped folding phone this year, Apple believes its design was replicated based on leaked information rather than coincidence.

Daily Laptop Use Causes Rare 'Toasted Skin' Condition in Boy

The condition, medically termed erythema ab igne, is caused by prolonged exposure to moderate heat from the device's underside. While laptops typically do not reach temperatures high enough to cause burns, sustained low-level heat can still damage skin over time. The case highlights an underappreciated health risk associated with everyday laptop use, particularly when the device is placed directly on the body.

AI Companies Mirror Big Tech's Classroom Playbook, Says Education Reporter

AI firms are pitching schools with free resources and curricula, framing their tools as essential for students' future careers. According to New York Times education technology reporter Natasha Singer, this strategy closely mirrors how Big Tech built its influence in classrooms over the past 15 years.

The pattern suggests a deliberate long-term effort by the technology industry to shape education policy and embed its products in learning environments.
