GM clarifies Apple CarPlay was never removed from its gas-powered trucks

General Motors announced a refreshed software experience for upcoming Chevy Silverado and GMC Sierra trucks, including an updated Apple CarPlay and Android Auto interface. The announcement caused widespread confusion, with several outlets reporting it as GM reversing its decision to drop CarPlay. However, GM had only removed CarPlay and Android Auto from its electric vehicles in 2023, not its gas-powered lineup. The feature was therefore never absent from the trucks now receiving the updated interface. The confusion highlights how GM's earlier EV decision colored public perception of its broader in-car software strategy.

Paramount Settles State Lawsuit, Clearing Path for $110B Warner Bros. Merger

Paramount has reached a settlement with California and 11 other states that had sued to block its proposed $110 billion acquisition of Warner Bros. Discovery. The agreement removes a significant legal obstacle to what would be one of the largest media mergers in history. Under the proposed consent decree, Paramount must release a minimum number of theatrical films over the next five years, starting with 30 releases annually in years one and two, rising to 32 thereafter. The deal also requires the combined company to spend at least $300 million more on U.S. production than the two companies collectively spent in 2025.

Google has confirmed that its experimental Gemini AI models were involved in cyberattacks against three companies in May 2026.

Oura Files for $2.2B IPO, with Most Proceeds Going to Existing Investors

This means the bulk of the IPO proceeds will flow to existing shareholders rather than into the company itself. Such secondary-heavy offerings are common when early investors seek to cash out after years of backing a startup.

John Ternus leads Apple into AI era with iPhone Duo debut as new CEO

John Ternus made his first major product launch as Apple's CEO at the company's annual iPhone event, having taken over from Tim Cook less than two weeks earlier. The event marked the debut of the iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable smartphone, a milestone Apple insiders say was deliberately timed to coincide with the leadership transition. Bloomberg's chief Apple correspondent Mark Gurman, who reported virtually every detail of the event in advance, discussed the significance of the moment in a recent interview. Gurman noted that Apple's hardware events are carefully crafted narratives, and this year's story reflects broader shifts in leadership and company culture under Cook's final year. The changes signal Ternus's ambition to steer Apple from what observers are calling the iPhone era into a new phase defined by artificial intelligence.
