The ad is designed to represent all of the things the device can do, but celebrities including Hugh Grant and Handmaid’s Tale director Reed Morano have criticised the commercial. Grant called it a “destruction of human experience,” and in a post on X, Morano told Apple CEO Tim Cook to “read the room”.
Brazil's annual inflation continued to trend down but slightly less than expected in April, official data showed on Friday, in the first consumer price readings after the nation's central bank voted to reduce the pace of its interest rate cuts. Inflation in Latin America's largest economy hit 3.69% in the 12 months through April, statistics agency IBGE said, slowing from 3.93% in the previous month, but a tad above the 3.66% expected by economists polled by Reuters. Earlier this week, Brazil's central bank cut rates by 25 basis points to 10.5%, slowing its ongoing easing cycle after six straight 50-basis-point cuts.

A U.S. judge dismissed a lawsuit in which Elon Musk's X Corp accused an Israeli data-scraping company of illegally copying and selling content, and selling tools that let others copy and sell content, from the social media platform. U.S. District Judge William Alsup in San Francisco ruled on Thursday that X, formerly Twitter, failed to plausibly allege that Bright Data Ltd violated its user agreement by allowing the scraping and evading X's own anti-scraping technology. Alsup said using scraping tools is not inherently fraudulent, and giving social media companies free rein to decide how public data are used "risks the possible creation of information monopolies that would disserve the public interest."

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. consumer sentiment fell sharply in May to the lowest level in six months as Americans cited stubbornly high inflation and interest rates, as well as fears that unemployment could rise.
