iPhone 17: Possible price increases — what to expect Independent of colors and trims, one of the most-discussed questions ahead of Apple’s iPhone event is whether prices will rise. Recent industry reports suggest Apple may increase prices for some iPhone 17 models — especially the Pro variants — while the base iPhone 17 could remain at $799. Key points iPhone 17 (base): Expected to keep the $799 starting price with 128GB. iPhone 17 Pro: Likely to start at a higher price because the base storage may double to 256GB (reports estimate an effective $100–$200 increase vs. last year). iPhone 17 Air / Plus: Could see moderate increases as well, depending on configuration changes. Why the increases? Analysts point to a mix of shifting SKU/storage strategies and higher import costs —…

Warner Bros. Discovery Sues Midjourney Over Copyrighted Characters Warner Bros. Discovery has filed a lawsuit against AI image generator Midjourney, alleging the company trained its models on copyrighted works and now allows users to produce images and video stills of WB characters — including Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Scooby-Doo, Bugs Bunny and other Looney Tunes characters. Key points WB alleges Midjourney first blocked some generation of its properties when it launched video features but recently removed those protections, leading to more user-generated outputs depicting WB characters. The studio claims Midjourney’s commercial subscriptions profit from these outputs and that the company acted willfully, seeking statutory damages of up to $150,000 per infringed work. Warner Bros. Discovery included side-by-side comparisons of Midjourney outputs and actual promotional materials in the complaint. Midjourney is…

Meta revives the Facebook "Poke" — what's new? Meta has quietly brought back the old Facebook "poke" feature, making it easier to find on user profiles and centralizing poke activity at facebook.com/pokes. The relaunch includes gamified elements such as emoji "streaks" that change based on how many pokes have been exchanged — a mechanic clearly aimed at younger users who value features like Snap streaks. What changed Pokes are now surfaced again in the Facebook app on profiles and via search, increasing visibility. A dedicated poke page (facebook.com/pokes) lets users track pokes, dismiss them, and see poke counts with friends. Emoji "streaks" and badges appear next to friends as poke activity increases, gamifying the interaction. Why it matters Once a novelty (and sometimes seen as creepy or flirty), poking never…
