Good evening!

Have you all checked on the Swifties in your life?

Here are the 7 things you missed today:

Apple is officially sending out save-the-dates for September 9, 2025, confirming its much-anticipated annual fall event. To no one’s surprise, the tech giant’s iPhone 17 unveiling will be front and center, which will likely include the iPhone 17, two 17 Pros, and maybe even a sleek, ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. Rumors of reverse wireless charging debuting in Pro models are going around, though new Macs or AirPods Max successors probably won’t show up this time. (TechCrunch)

The other day, I was telling a buddy about OnlineJobs.ph, because he was so stressed out about not having any work/life balance.

Hiring a Virtual Assistant was a game-changer for me. I suddenly had so much more time in my day because I no longer had to focus on those remedial tasks, like inbox management and admin work. And, OnlineJobs.ph has a database full of top talent from the Philippines who are ready to go and can seamlessly integrate into your workflow.

Robomart is shaking up food and item delivery with its new autonomous vehicle, the RM5. This self-driving robot contains an impressive 10 individual lockers, can carry up to 500 lbs, and deliver multiple orders in one run. But the best part? A transparent flat $3 delivery fee. The startup aims to undercut giants like DoorDash and Uber Eats by offering both convenience and cost savings. (Tech Crunch)

If you ordered a bikini from Australia, you might want to ask for a refund. As of today, multiple countries, including France, Italy, Spain, India, Thailand, South Korea, Singapore, New Zealand, and Australia, have paused shipments bound for the U.S. The culprit is the impending expiration of the “de minimis” exemption on August 29, which previously allowed ‘low-value’ parcels to enter duty-free.

Anthropic is leaning into education with two new initiatives: a Higher Education Advisory Board and three AI Fluency courses. The board, chaired by former Yale president and Coursera stalwart Rick Levin, will steer Claude’s role in learning while preserving academic integrity and critical thinking. The AI Fluency courses (co-created with educators) aim to equip teachers and students with responsible, practical AI skills. (Anthropic)

Waymo received New York City’s green light to test up to eight autonomous vehicles in Manhattan and Downtown Brooklyn through late September, provided a trained specialist remains at the wheel. The move marks a major expansion into one of the world’s most complex urban environments. But taxi drivers aren’t thrilled. Hundreds rallied in protest, warning that driverless cars pose a direct threat to the livelihoods of over 200,000 drivers. (Engadget)
