Apple Inc. has reached the late stages of development for new AirPods with built-in cameras, a significant milestone for what will likely be its first wearable device designed for the artificial intelligence era. The project has entered a phase where prototypes feature a near-final design and capabilities, according to people with knowledge of the matter. The earbuds, which rely on cameras to see the space surrounding a user and provide information, are in advanced testing, said the people, who asked not to be identified because the work is still under wraps. Apple is betting that the new device can capitalize on the success of AirPods while also vaulting it into AI-enhanced hardware — an area where it’s facing competition from OpenAI, Meta Platforms Inc. and others. The cameras essentially act as eyes for the Siri digital assistant and aren’t designed to take photos or video. These components — located in both the right and left earbuds — allow the device to capture visual information in low resolution. Other than longer stems to accommodate the cameras, the product will resemble the AirPods Pro 3. Apple had planned for the earbuds to go on sale as early as the first half of this year, but the launch was postponed after delays to a revamped version of Siri. The new Siri is now on track for September after Apple upgraded its underlying models using Alphabet Inc. ’s Gemini technology. Testers inside Apple are actively using prototypes of the new AirPods that are at a stage known as DVT, or design validation testing. That’s the final major development stage before PVT, or production validation test, which involves making early mass-production units. While the hardware is nearly ready, concerns about the AI elements could further hold back a launch if Apple isn’t pleased with the quality of the visual intelligence features, the people said. A spokesperson for Cupertino, California-based Apple declined to comment. Read More: Apple Ramps Up Work on Glasses, Pendant, and ...

XRP (CRYPTO: XRP) and Ethereum (CRYPTO: ETH) have gone in opposite directions over the past 12 months. XRP has declined 35%, while Ether has risen 27%. Let's see why these two popular altcoins diverged -- and if Ether will continue to outperform XRP over the long term. Image source: Getty Images. XRP, the native token of the XRP Ledger, is primarily used as a bridge currency for cross-border fiat currency transactions on Ripple, a blockchain-based payment platform. Ripple's founders pre-minted its entire supply of 100 billion tokens before its launch, so it can't be valued by its scarcity. The XRP Ledger also doesn't natively support smart contracts, which are used to develop decentralized apps, so it can't be valued by the growth of its developer ecosystem. Continue reading

Half cash, half sock Sure, sure, sure : GameStop Corp. Chief Executive Officer Ryan Cohen said his eBay Inc. account was suspended following a publicity stunt in which he listed a raft of personal items — including a pair of socks — to fund his $56 billion bid for the online marketplace. Cohen shared a screenshot of a notice from eBay saying his account had been suspended. He previously said he was raising money on the platform to help pay for the deal. His account racked up scores of bids totaling tens of thousands of dollars for a hodgepodge of items. … Earlier this week, GameStop offered $125 per share in cash and stock for eBay. GameStop secured an initial, non-binding “highly confident letter” from TD Bank to provide about $20 billion of debt financing for the deal, but Cohen has still been peppered with questions about how he’ll manage to pay for a deal. ... Beyond the socks offered on Cohen’s eBay account, other sought after items include a pair of GameStop signs and what appears to be a life-sized Halo 2 statue, both of which are going for more than $10,000. Among the other goods for sale are vintage baseball cards including Willie Mays and an unopened package of Windows 2000 software. Sure! One thing that I sometimes think about is that there is a continuum between “real” takeover offers and “fake” ones. Quite a lot of very real takeovers — including most private-equity buyouts and also Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter Inc. — begin with an acquirer who doesn’t have the money. A private equity firm, or Elon Musk, will approach the target and say “hey we’d like to discuss acquiring you for $10 billion,” and the target will say “okay do you have $10 billion,” and the buyer will say “no, of course not, we don’t just keep $10 billion lying around in the bank, but if our discussions go well and we decide to move forward, we’ll easily be able to raise the money.” In the private equity case, the firm might have a fund with more than $10 billion, but it will expect t...

Appliance giant slashes earnings forecast and hikes prices by 10% with another 4% spike planned With the war in Iran and economic concerns putting pressure on consumers and how they spend their money, Whirlpool is having to adjust to Americans delaying big-ticket purchases while also raising prices to help stabilize its North American business. The company known for brands such as KitchenAid, Maytag and its namesake, said that the Iran war led to a “recession-level industry decline” in America as consumer confidence collapsed in late February and March. Revenue dropped nearly 10% in the quarter as sales of major appliances in North America declined more than 7%. Continue reading...

Shares of leading pet and livestock healthcare specialist Zoetis (NYSE: ZTS) are down 20% as of 1:30 p.m. ET on Thursday after the company delivered substandard earnings. The company's Q1 sales inched up 3% to meet analysts' expectations, but adjusted earnings per share rose 9%, well short of Wall Street's expectations. Worse yet, management's guidance for "organic operational" revenue and adjusted earnings-per-share growth of 3.5% and 4% at the midpoint in 2026 also fell short of the market's consensus. Long viewed as a "recession-proof" investment by many -- including me, with Zoetis as a core holding -- the company's Q1 results suggest that petcare spending in the U.S. may be more sensitive to macroeconomic financial pressures than previously thought. Chief Executive Officer Kristen Peck touched on this topic, explaining, "Pet owners demonstrated increased price sensitivity with softer demand for premium products in preventative and chronic care, where Zoetis leads amid a more cautious spending environment." Said another way, this premium positioning is not a selling point for pet owners with stretched budgets, given the wide array of macroeconomic pressures they face. Continue reading
