$85 CASHCAT Play Turns Into $2 Million Surprise on Robinhood Chain

CASHCAT, a Robinhood Chain memecoin with a cat theme, pulled back Thursday morning after speculative buying earlier this week sent some early holders’ wallets into the millions. CASHCAT traded near $0.0896 on DEX Screener, down roughly 27% in the past 24 hours. The token had a market cap around $88.8 million with close to $5.8 million in liquidity on its main Uniswap V3 pool on Robinhood Chain. Liquidity refers to the tokens and cash available in the pool for trading—low liquidity can make it hard for holders to sell fast.

The Chip ETF Rebound Is Hiding A $2 Trillion Surprise

The VanEck Semiconductor ETF rebounded on Wednesday, but the move did not settle the sharper question hanging over the chip trade: what investors actually own when they buy a semiconductor fund. SMH last traded at about $593, up roughly 2%, a day after selling pressure pushed the fund below its 50-day moving average, a trend line that tracks the average price over the past 50 sessions and is watched by traders as a momentum gauge. Seeking Alpha said market analyst Mike Zaccardi had flagged the break as the fund headed for its weakest close since late May.

Trump digital tax warning clouds $263 billion in goods

Trump’s warning of 100% tariffs on countries with digital taxes brings a $262.8 billion annual goods-import flow from six targeted nations into play. The U.S. digital-tax review already has those countries on its list, and the trade talks now have a much larger number on the table than just the digital-tax bills faced by U.S. tech firms. France, Austria, Italy, Spain, Turkey and the UK exported $262.8 billion in goods to the U.S. in 2025 and $85.9 billion for the first four months of 2026, according to U.S. Census Bureau data. The White House told the U.S. Trade Representative in 2025 to look at renewing Section 301 probes into digital services taxes in the same countries.

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro Plan Just Got Clearer: Split Launch, Satellite 5G And A Camera Bet

Apple is gearing up for a staggered iPhone release: the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone are slated to arrive in September, while the standard iPhone 18 and the iPhone 18e won’t debut until spring 2027. If that timing holds, this fall’s event will lean harder into high-end models than Apple typically does in September. Timing is key here. With WWDC just weeks away, Apple is about to outline the next iPhone’s software—and in just a few months, a major leadership shift hits. Tim Cook moves to executive chairman, John Ternus steps in as CEO on Sept. 1, the company confirmed. If the iPhone does launch in September, it lands right in Ternus’s lap as

Apple’s iOS 26.5 Just Changed iPhone-Android Texting — But There’s a Catch

CUPERTINO, Calif., May 11, 2026, 11:03 PDT Apple on Monday pushed out iOS 26.5, flipping the switch on beta end-to-end encryption for Rich Communication Services chats between iPhone and Android users. The move closes a persistent privacy gap in those green-bubble threads. According to Apple, the feature stays on by default and will gradually activate for both new and existing RCS conversations, but you’ll need iOS 26.5, a supported carrier, and the current version of Google Messages on your Android device.

AMD Stock Rally Hits a New Intel Problem After Apple Chip Deal Report

Advanced Micro Devices’ strong run is hitting a fresh snag tied to Intel. Now, investors have to juggle AMD’s AI server gains with a reported Apple manufacturing agreement that might boost faith in Intel’s foundry—or contract chipmaking—operations. The clock’s ticking. AMD delivered upbeat results and bumped up its outlook for AI-fueled server sales. Intel, meanwhile, jumped Friday, buoyed by a Wall Street Journal story flagging a tentative chipmaking agreement with Apple. With U.S. markets shuttered Sunday morning, traders are left waiting for the next move once trading kicks back in. AMD finished at $455.19, a gain of 11.4%. Intel closed at $124.92, up 13.9%.

Vivo X300 Ultra Launch: ₹1.6 Lakh ZEISS Camera Phone Takes On iPhone, Samsung In India

Vivo on Wednesday unveiled its X300 Ultra and X300 FE in India, slotting the ₹1,59,999 X300 Ultra at the very top of its local lineup and sharpening the competition in high-end Android phones. For buyers looking for something less eye-watering, the X300 FE lands at ₹79,999 but still leans on ZEISS-branded camera features to woo the photography crowd. India’s phone market is tilting higher-end, even as total demand remains sluggish. According to Counterpoint Research Director Tarun Pathak, devices above ₹30,000 “emerged as the fastest-growing in 2025,” with the premium segment up 11% year-on-year, now accounting for 22% of all shipments.

Mobile Technology News Today: Memory Crunch Hits Phones as Apple Gains and Foldables Race Ahead

Memory costs keep climbing, and that’s turning up the heat for mobile tech players. Now, Omdia projects AMOLED smartphone display shipments will dip to 778 million units in 2026—a 7% slide from the year before. AMOLED, found in a wide range of mid-tier and premium devices, isn’t escaping the crunch. Phone makers are pulling back on product launches and scaling down component orders as they grapple with tighter budgets. Timing is key here, with the smartphone market already on the back foot. Earlier this month, Reuters noted a 6% drop in global smartphone shipments for the first quarter—even as Apple claimed the top spot in Q1 for the first time, boosted by robust supply chains and solid demand out of

Apple’s iPhone Keyboard Bug: How One Missing Accent Can Lock Users Out

Apple’s scrambling to patch a lock-screen keyboard glitch that’s locked some iPhone owners out of their devices after a recent iOS update, according to The Register. At the heart of the mess: the Czech háček, or caron—the ˇ diacritic. This issue isn’t just a minor annoyance—it can lock people out of their entire device over something as simple as a keyboard tweak. If photos or files haven’t been backed up, the typical fix forces users into a reset that wipes the phone clean. Apple’s own support page lays it out: if you forget the passcode, a reset is the only way back in, and that means everything on the iPhone gets erased.

Oppo Find N6 launches in Japan at ¥318,000, taking on Apple before any foldable iPhone

Oppo kicked off sales of the Find N6 in Japan on Wednesday, marking the debut of its foldable phone in the market at a price of 318,000 yen. The 16GB/512GB version is being offered via KDDI’s au +1 collection, IIJmio, AEON Mobile, major electronics retailers, and online outlets such as Amazon. Timing’s key here. Japan is still dominated by iPhones—Apple grabbed 60.58% of mobile vendor web usage in March, according to Statcounter. Oppo’s jumping in now, ahead of any foldable iPhone hitting stores. This launch lands just as vendors ramp up focus on premium handsets: Counterpoint reported a 6% drop in global smartphone shipments for the first quarter, blaming memory shortages, while IDC flagged rising component costs nudging brands upmarket.
