A new survey suggests most U.S. smartphone owners are not motivated to upgrade by foldable phone designs or AI features, a potential challenge for Apple as it prepares to launch both the rumored "iPhone Ultra" and an expanded suite of Apple Intelligence features this fall. The survey, commissioned by CNET and conducted by YouGov across 2,407 U.S. smartphone owners between April 29 and May 1, found that only 13% of respondents would consider upgrading for a phone concept such as a foldable or flip phone, while just 12% cited AI integrations as an upgrade motivator. Among iPhone owners specifically, interest in foldable designs was slightly higher at 14%. Apple is widely expected to launch its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro this fall, with a starting price of around $2,000. While a 13% interest statistic in foldable designs has been characterized as evidence of limited appeal, it may actually represent a larger addressable market than anticipated for a product most con

- Human-like robot voices boost customer support after mistakes, five experiments show
When service robots make mistakes, it is not only important whether customers receive compensation. The robot's voice can also shape how the situation is perceived. A human-like voice can make customers feel more supported after a service failure. This is the finding of a study by the Chair of Value Based Marketing at the University of Augsburg, published in the Journal of Business Research. The findings are relevant for companies that use service robots and similar AI-based systems.

There is a massive and clear opportunity for the telecom industry to capture the next wave of growth from artificial intelligence (AI-)driven services to private 5G and the internet of things (IoT), enabled by new capabilities. However, despite confidence in the industry that it can provide compelling AI and 5G use cases, most communication service providers (CSPs) are yet to begin implementing the capabilities required to deliver it. That is according to Ericsson’s Breaking the cycle of missed opportunities global study, which was based on the opinion of 455 senior telecom executives and looked at how AI-driven applications place new demands on network performance and flexibility. Ericsson noted that over recent decades, telecoms leaders have repeatedly identified promising new growth opportunities, only to fall short of turning that promise into sustained commercial impact. It stressed that value has been left on the table “again and again”, with others managing to react faster. The

Chris Lehane, OpenAI's chief global affairs officer, fears the rising risk of unpopular AI and told us the solution might be a reorg of government and business. He offered two megapoints in a conversation Tuesday at OpenAI's new office in Washington: The AI companies and government are so interdependent — the companies need light regs, contracts; government needs AI systems — that it might require a new public-private hybrid to manage them. The AI companies could get crushed by bad politics if they don't find ways to share any wealth they create, much like Alaska shares oil & gas revenue with its residents. "People need to feel like they're gonna have a piece of this and participate in it ," Lehane said. "You can't talk beyond people or above people. You need to talk with people and involve them in the conversation." More broadly, Lehane says we're entering a new chapter of AI, where it becomes an "infrastructure technology … a utility for intelligence." With electricity, he said, "peo

- The LangChain Ecosystem in 2026: Why Three Frameworks Exist (And When to Use Each)
You call create_agent() every day. Do you know what graph it builds internally? Most developers don't. You have probably seen the tutorials. Paste some imports, call create_agent()Watch the chatbot respond, feel good about it. Then two weeks later, when your agent starts hallucinating tool arguments, loses conversation history after a restart, or burns through your token budget in a single session, you open the LangChain docs and realize you have no idea what is actually running underneath your code. That gap is not a skill problem. It is a mental model problem. And it is the one thing most tutorials never fix. This blog is not a tutorial. It is an explanation of the engineering decisions that produced the current LangChain ecosystem - what problem each layer was built to solve, how the layers relate to each other, and when you should use each one. By the end, you should be able to draw this stack on a whiteboard and explain, from memory, why it exists. The code comes later. The mental
