In a report about Chinese display maker BOE securing orders for the model's display, The Elec says that the iPhone 17e OLED is expected to reuse the same specification 6.1-inch OLED panel from the iPhone 16e. However, Apple will also be "thinning the bezel" on the component at the same time.

US lawmakers want more age checks applying to the App Store. There's already a lot of protections in place.

Lawmakers have been particularly keen to protect children from online dangers, and have repeatedly demanded big tech companies like Apple and Google do more to help. In the latest attempt to make big tech bend to its demands, the U.S. government is going after the App Store.

The App Store Accountability Act (ASA) was introduced in May as a way for parents to get more tools to protect their children online. In late November, the ASA was brought up in Congress as part of a raft of measures to keep kids safe online, led by the Kids Online Safety Act (KOSA).

The recently released Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON) aims to be a schema-aware alternative to JSON that significantly reduces token consumption at a similar level of accuracy. While the existence and importance of token saved depend on the data shape, some benchmarks show TOON may use in some cases 40% fewer tokens than JSON, possibly resulting in LLM and inference cost savings.
