This week, we’re diving into a whirlwind of tech revelations, corporate gambles, and futuristic innovations. Buckle up as we unbox the latest and greatest in the tech universe—where the only thing port less is our patience for bad design choices.Topics Covered: 1. Apple’s Zero-Port iPhone 17 Air Apple is reportedly testing the waters with its boldest design yet—a completely port less iPhone 17 Air. This futuristic device ditches physical charging ports in favor of wireless charging and cloud-based data syncing. While it’s a sleek move, it’s also stirring debates about practicality, especially for users reliant on wired CarPlay and efficient charging. 2. Microsoft’s New Features for Notepad, Paint, and Snipping Tool Microsoft is rolling out AI-powered upgrades for its classic apps—Notepad, Paint, and Snipping Tool—to all Windows Insider channels.

EU’s New Orders for Google and Apple The European Union is cracking down on Big Tech with fresh directives under the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Apple is being pushed to open its ecosystem for better third-party integration, while Google faces scrutiny for favoring its own services. The EU’s proactive stance highlights its commitment to fair competition in digital markets. 5. Microsoft Teases New Xbox UI with Steam Support A leaked mockup of Microsoft’s new Xbox UI has sparked excitement, showing a potential Steam integration. This feature could allow gamers to access their Steam library directly on Xbox consoles, blurring the lines between PC and console gaming. 6.
