The second generation of the iPhone SE was initially launched in 2020, but it still manages to keep up with the needs of many phone users today. It utilizes the body of the Apple iPhone 8, which means it will have a home button and fingerprint ID instead of the Face ID technology in current iPhone models. That’s not much to give up, however, as the second generation iPhone SE still has a great display, a 12-megapixel camera with the ability to shoot 4K video, and wireless charging capability.

Apple wants you to verify your identity before you get Education discount on products

Apple moving the US Education Store off the honor system also seems about making a globally consistent verification infrastructure that could eventually support more aggressive Education Store expansion.

Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Getting an Apple Education discount in the United States used to be as simple as claiming you’re a student or a teacher; it didn’t need a formal verification. That era is officially over.

Starting May 8, 2026, Apple now requires formal identity verification for all Education Store purchases in the US, ending the informal honor system that was in place for years (via MacRumors).

Whoop’s response to Fitbit Air and Google Health is real doctors, not just an AI chatbot.

In the race to own your health data, Google chose an AI, and Whoop chose a doctor. That single decision may define which fitness tracker serious health users reach for in 2026 and beyond.

Recently, Google launched the Fitbit Air as a direct rival to the Whoop screenless fitness band, rebranded the Fitbit app to Google Health, and released a Gemini-powered AI coach. Exactly one day later, Whoop has responded with on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians for US users.

The contrast is hard to ignore. While Google is betting on AI as your general health advisor, Whoop is doubling down on real, licensed doctors, and making the case that they can serve its fitness-focused users considerably better (via CNBC).

Samsung is reportedly building the holographic display, with a tentative 2030 target.

Holograms on your iPhone sound like science fiction. But according to a fresh leak, Apple may actually be working on it. A leaker on X known as "Schrödinger" claims Apple is developing a "Spatial iPhone" with a holographic display, reportedly being built by Samsung.

The display is codenamed "MH1" (Mobile Holographic 1), and the details being floated are quite wild. You should take all of this with appropriate skepticism, though, as none of it is officially confirmed.
