Apple Launches New, Cheaper iPhone 16e
Apple has unveiled the iPhone 16e, its new entry-level model replacing the iPhone SE. It borrows the iPhone 14’s design, featuring a 6.1-inch display, Face ID, and a notch instead of Dynamic Island. At $599, it’s the cheapest AI-equipped iPhone, powered by the A18 chip and Apple’s in-house C1 modem.
The 16e gets a 48MP "2-in-1" camera with 2x zoom, a USB-C port, and the Action button from the iPhone 15 Pro. However, it skips MagSafe, sticking to basic Qi charging. While missing some premium features, it makes Apple Intelligence more accessible.

Lead single “Mantra” debuted in October 2024, setting high expectations.
Along with “Love Hangover” featuring Dominic Fike, RUBY introduces fresh tracks like “Intro: JANE,” “Like JENNIE,” and “Seoul City.” Fans get a sneak peek with “ExtraL” featuring Doechii on February 21 before the album drops March 7.

BUSINESS
KFC Leaves Kentucky Home for Texas
KFC is packing up and leaving Kentucky—but not without stirring up debate. The fast-food giant is moving its U.S. headquarters from Louisville to Plano, Texas, leaving some fans wondering if a name change is in order. Given its deep roots in Kentucky, the move feels like the end of an era.
Despite the relocation, KFC isn’t cutting ties completely. The company will keep corporate offices in Louisville and open a new flagship store there. While Governor Andy Beshear expressed disappointment, KFC insists the move is about future growth. For now, the brand remains Kentucky Fried Chicken—just with a Texas address.
STREAMING
Twitch CEO Faces Backlash Over Platform Issues
Twitch CEO Dan Clancy is facing criticism for joining streamers on broadcasts while key platform features are still malfunctioning. Despite Twitch’s dominance in livestreaming, recent changes—like the mobile app overhaul—have frustrated fans and streamers alike.
Streamer Squeex called out Clancy for focusing on appearances rather than fixing basic issues, like broken mobile features and desktop clip sound problems. “It’s a bad look” when the CEO is active on streams while these fundamental issues remain unresolved, Squeex said.
