Apple's Foldable iPhone Duo Debuts Amid China's Price-Sensitive Foldables Arena

Apple rolls out its first foldable, the iPhone Duo, in China at 15,999 yuan ($2,230), placing it in a crowded field with rivals like Huawei’s Mate XT2 and Xiaomi’s 18 Fold. Early reactions in Chinese social media focus on price and the device’s lack of a physical SIM slot, with some buyers saying they’ll wait for a second generation. China is a key growth region for Apple (about 17% of revenue). Huawei led China’s smartphone market in Q1–Q2, while globally Samsung leads foldables with roughly 32% share, ahead of Apple (~25%) and Huawei (~24%). Pre-orders begin Oct. 16 and sales on Oct. 23.

Cardiologist's One Rule for a Heart-Healthy Diet: Ditch White Foods

A cardiologist says his No. 1 rule for heart health is to avoid white, refined foods such as sugar, white bread, rice, flour and pasta, and to eat mostly fruits, nuts, proteins and vegetables with water, black coffee, or unsweetened tea. He warns that added sugar and refined carbs raise risks for high blood pressure and heart disease, while dietary guidelines emphasize fiber-rich whole grains and minimally processed foods. Start by filling your plate with colorful, whole foods and cutting back on white starches to improve heart health.

NJ budget sails with bigger surplus and hundreds of targeted additions

Lawmakers unveiled a revised FY2027 New Jersey budget of $60.743 billion, only $15 million above Gov. Mikie Sherrill’s proposal, aided by stronger-than-expected tax collections that lift the year-end surplus to about $6.49 billion. The plan preserves a large opening balance and funds hundreds of targeted programs and local grants—spanning mental health, housing, re-entry initiatives, food security, and more—while making department-level increases (DCA, State, Children and Families, Health, Transportation) and offsetting reductions in Human Services and Education. Revenue gains from income, business, and insurance taxes counterbalance slower sales tax and investment earnings.”,

EU aims to ban AI nudification tools after Grok scandal

EU plans to outlaw AI systems that can generate non-consensual sexualized images, videos, or audio of real people, prompted by the Grok scandal on X; the measure could take effect as early as this summer after approvals by EU ambassadors and the Parliament, with safety-safeguard exemptions for platforms that have effective mitigations and ongoing scrutiny of Grok’s handling.

Soonicorn Surge: VC-Fueled Startups Redefine Private Valuations

Venture-capital funding is fueling a surge of soonicorns—private startups valued at $500 million to $999 million—with more than 2,000 such firms in the United States by the end of last year. The AI boom is lowering funding barriers and speeding growth, pushing many firms toward or beyond the soonicorn threshold. However, being a soonicorn is a snapshot of current status, not a predictor of future unicorn status: some may later become unicorns, others may remain under that mark, and some could fail. Mega-startups like Anthropic, OpenAI, and SpaceX are reportedly considering public listings in 2026, underscoring a broader shift in the private-to-public market dynamics.
