Apple's sports app now shows tennis scores
Apple Sports, the company's sports app for iPhone, now shows scores for tennis matches. 'Tennis fans can access live scores for Grand Slam and 1000-level tournaments, and can track every point across all men's and women's singles matches, beginning with Wimbledon,' Apple says in a press release.
The company is also adding a 'brand-new home experience' to the app. 'Events and matchups are now grouped by league, with intuitive controls for fans to set their preferred order, ensuring their top leagues appear first,' Apple says. Your favorite teams will 'always appear at the top.'
Apple launched the Apple Sports app in February 2024. Since then, it's introduced a number of updates to the app, including support for Live Activities, football-focused improvements, and the ability to see where games are being broadcast nationally in the US. The app is part of an increasing interest in sports from Apple, which also has a soccer streaming deal with the MLS.

Is the Fed Ready for an AI Economy?
Federal Reserve presidents have been clear about their concerns regarding artificial intelligence's possible effects on productivity, banking customer service, and upheaval in the labor market. But the Fed may be ignoring another AI issue that could turn out to dwarf all others: AI's coming ability to create money and credit—and thereby determine the money supply in our economy.

Motorola Razr Ultra deal: Get a free upgrade to 1TB of storage
Ryan Haines / Android Authority Samsung will likely release new foldable phones next month at its upcoming Galaxy Unpacked event. We're not sure what we'll see then, but until we find out more, the current hottest foldable flip phone is the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025. While there are no discounts on it right now, you can pretty much get a free upgrade to 1TB of storage, which is a nice incentive for those already looking to get the device. This translates to $200 in savings. Buy the Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 with 1TB for $1,299.99 ($200 off) This offer is available directly from Motorola's website. The sale applies to all color versions available: Pantone Scarab, Pantone Mountain Trail, Pantone Cabaret, and Pantone Rio Red. Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (1TB) Motorola Razr Ultra 2025 (1TB) High-end processing power in a folding shell Adding Ultra to the name, the Motorola Razr Ultra is the first folding phone from Moto with a top-tier processor. The 7-inch folding display is paired with a half-size front display to give you both a premium experience, and a compact and portable communication device. See price at Motorola Save $200.00 The Motorola Razr Ultra takes foldable flip phones to a whole other level. As we mentioned in our Razr Ultra review, you might as well stop waiting for the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 7 and get this instead. Why? There are many reasons. For starters, it is very capable in terms of performance. You'll get a Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite processor and 16GB of RAM. These specs put it up there with all the best Android phones available right now. The build hasn't changed much since last year. The device features an aluminum frame and a stainless steel hinge, along with an IP48 rating. That said, the design got a really nice upgrade this time around. Mostly in the back, as Motorola introduced really fun leather-like materials there. In fact, the wooden look made a comeback this year. These look amazing, and they feel soft to the touch. Ryan Haines / Android Authority We also really like the vibrant display. It has a 7.0-inch LTPO AMOLED panel with a 1,224 x 2,912. Even more astonishing is the smooth 165Hz refresh rate. This beats nearly all other phones out there. Even the 4.0-inch external display keeps the same panel technology and refresh rate, but the resolution is obviously reduced. That 1,272 x 1,080 resolution is still great for such a small display. We were also impressed by the battery life. Our tests show that the 4,700mAh battery can last nearly 25 hours playing 4K content. And when it's time to recharge, you can do so at 68W wired or 30W wirelessly. As of today, this is the best flip phone you can get, and we're not sure if Samsung will beat it. A penny under $1,300 is still quite expensive, but this is a premium device that competes against the best out there, which is rare for a flip phone. Take advantage of this offer while you can!

US senators reintroduce bill to open Apple and Google's app stores
Senators Marsha Blacburn (R-Tenn.), Mike Blumenthal (D-Conn.), Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) and Mike Lee (R-Utah) have reintroduced a bill that would force app store owners like Apple and Google to allow third-party payment systems and sideloading apps, among a collection of other developer-friendly changes. The bill, called the Open App Markets App, was originally introduced in 2021, but it never came up for a vote after passing through the Senate Judiciary Committee in 2022. The Open App Markets Act applies its changes to app stores with 50,000 monthly users or more, most obviously applicable to the Apple App Store and the Google Play Store. Like the original bill, the reintroduced Open App Markets Act wants covered companies to allow things like sideloading, third-party app stores and alternative payments systems, while protecting developers ability to "tell consumers about lower prices and offer competitive pricing." It would also prevent app store operators from privileging their own apps and services in app store search results. While the aims of the new bill are largely the same as the original one, the legal environment is meaningfully different. Apple has been forced to allow third-party app stores and alternative payment systems in the European Union following the introduction of the Digital Markets Act in 2022. Thanks to its failure to make good on the small concession Epic won via its lawsuit, Apple has also been forced to allow developers to direct customers to pay for things outside of the App Store and its in-app payments system. The Open App Markets Act would make these kinds of changes the law in the US. It seems possible the bill could pass, too. Regulatory pressure on tech companies has only increased since 2021. For example, Utah recently passed an age-verification law that would require app stores to only allow users 18 and up to make an account.
