Hand-picked News

Elon Musk just sued Apple and OpenAI, claiming their cozy ChatGPT deal is killing competition—and Grok is the one getting buried.

  • xAI says Apple’s exclusive ChatGPT integration makes it ā€œimpossibleā€ for rivals to top App Store charts

  • Musk argues Apple would’ve featured Grok if not for its ā€œmonopoly partnershipā€ with OpenAI

  • This lawsuit follows Musk’s separate legal attack on OpenAI’s shift to a for-profit model

Apple recently embedded ChatGPT across iPhones, iPads, and Macs—giving OpenAI prime real estate while Grok and others get sidelined.

āš ļø If Musk cracks Apple’s walled garden, it could reshape how AI apps compete and open doors for indie models and alt assistants.

šŸ‘€ Creators: Watch this space. If Grok gets a fair shot, it might be your next favorite AI sidekick.

Apple’s prepping a major design glow-up for its 20th anniversary iPhone—and it’s not just a facelift, it’s a statement.

  • The 2027 iPhone could feature curved glass edges all around, embracing a sleek ā€œLiquid Glassā€ aesthetic

  • Apple’s first foldable iPhone is expected in 2026, with new screen tech that hides creases better

  • The curved design may sync with a revamped iOS look, making hardware and software feel more fluid

Apple made waves with the notch in 2017—now it’s aiming for a full visual reboot to mark two decades of iPhone dominance.

āœ… This signals Apple’s push to redefine premium phone design as foldables and futuristic form factors go mainstream. It’s not just about looks—it’s about staying ahead of the curve.

šŸ‘€ Creators: If you’re designing mobile-first experiences, start imagining how curved screens and foldables could reshape UI and storytelling.

Robomart just dropped a delivery robot that could flip the entire on-demand game—and it’s gunning straight for Uber Eats and DoorDash.

  • The new RM5 bot carries up to 500 lbs and handles batch orders with 10 smart lockers

  • Customers pay a flat $3 fee—no tips, no hidden markups, no surprise surcharges

  • Retailers can launch storefronts on Robomart’s app, creating an autonomous marketplace

Robomart’s CEO says this model slashes delivery costs by up to 70%, thanks to full automation and no human drivers. It’s launching first in Austin, TX later this year.

āœ… If this works, it could finally make on-demand delivery profitable—and way more affordable for users. āš ļø Big apps should be nervous.

šŸ‘€ Founders: If you’re building in local commerce or logistics, this is your signal to rethink how you move goods.
