$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.

Turn Your iPhone Off And On Again? iOS 26.2 Security Warning Triggers Fresh Calls to Update

Security researchers and consumer tech sites are again urging iPhone users to update to iOS 26.2 and restart their devices, warning that Apple has already patched WebKit bugs used in targeted attacks. The renewed push comes as many users resist iOS 26’s “Liquid Glass” design, a slowdown that has left older software in wide use. Apple’s security notes for iOS 26.2 and iPadOS 26.2 said processing “maliciously crafted web content” could lead to arbitrary code execution or memory corruption. Apple said it was aware of reports the issues “may have been exploited in an extremely sophisticated attack against specific targeted individuals” running versions of iOS before iOS 26.

Edge AI is Here: The New On-Device AI Gadgets That Could Make Your Smartphone Feel Old

Austin, Texas, January 19, 2026, 04:15 AI is creeping out of the cloud and into devices as the industry shifts focus from training models to inference — using them to make predictions in real time — a new InfoWorld analysis said on Monday. “The global edge AI market is on a steep upward trajectory,” said Joshua David, senior director of edge project management at Red Hat, as the report cited projections of a $143 billion market by 2034. “Privacy is one powerful driver,” the report quoted Johann Schleier-Smith, an AI tech lead at Temporal Technologies, and it pointed to on-device accelerators such as Apple’s Neural Engine, Google’s Edge TPU and Nvidia’s Jetson platforms.

iOS 26 Photos’ “ticket” icon can pull concert set lists and sports scores from your pictures

Apple’s Photos app in iOS 26 can now recognize when an iPhone user has been to a concert or sporting event and pull up event details — including set lists and scoreboards — alongside the images, Apple-focused site 9to5Mac reported on Sunday. The feature adds a ticket-style button to matching photos and can label Apple’s auto-generated “Memories” after the specific event, the report said. The change underscores a shift in where Apple is putting its software effort. Photos is no longer just a place to store pictures — it is becoming a hub that connects images to music, sports, and event information already sitting in Apple’s services ecosystem.

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro leak hints at under-screen Face ID as iPhone Fold specs take shape

A leaked video showing what it claims are iPhone 18 Pro renders points to Apple shrinking the front cutout to a single hole and moving some Face ID sensors under the display, according to a Financial Express report that cited tech commentator Jon Prosser of Front Page Tech. The talk matters because Apple has stuck with a visible sensor cutout for years, and even small changes ripple through case makers, carriers and app developers. It is also the kind of feature Apple has tended to hold back until it can ship at scale.

iPhone Fold leak points to September 2026 debut as Apple eyes split iPhone 18 launch vs Galaxy S26

Apple plans to launch just the iPhone 18 Pro models in fall 2026, while the regular iPhone 18 might arrive in spring 2027, according to Tom’s Guide on Sunday. This delay could hand Samsung an early advantage with its Galaxy S26 series, targeting flagship buyers before Apple’s full lineup hits the market. If Apple breaks up the schedule, it reshapes what “iPhone season” means for carriers and competitors who time their launches accordingly. This shift would also emphasize premium models, just as manufacturers push prices higher to counteract slower unit sales.

Apple cuts iPhone trade-in payouts again — iPhone 16 Pro Max now tops out at $650Cupertino, California, Jan 18

Apple has reduced the top trade-in credit available in the U.S. for iPhones, including the iPhone 16 series. The highest offer for an iPhone 16 Pro Max has dropped to $650, down from $670, according to a recent report. https://www.phonearena.com/news/your-iphone-16-or-older-model-is-now-worth-less-as-apple-cuts-trade-in-values_id177425 Trade-in credits are crucial since they offer a straightforward way for many buyers to lower the cost of a new phone at checkout. Even minor adjustments can have a big impact on upgrade calculations, particularly for those upgrading storage or purchasing multiple devices for family members.

Apple’s “Restart Now” iPhone Alert: Why the iOS 26.2 Security Update Suddenly Matters

Apple is urging iPhone users to update and restart their devices after it disclosed fixes for two WebKit vulnerabilities that it said may have been exploited in an “extremely sophisticated” attack against specific targeted individuals on iOS versions before iOS 26. The flaws sit in WebKit, the browser engine that powers Safari and handles much of the web content rendered on iPhones. One of the bugs could allow “arbitrary code execution” via maliciously crafted web content — in plain terms, an attacker could potentially run code on a device after a user loads hostile web material.

Apple’s decision to base a revamped Siri on Google’s Gemini is renewing questions about how far two longtime partners can deepen ties, with privacy lawyers and analysts pointing to possible regulatory blowback. The move lands as U.S. antitrust enforcers look harder at Google’s distribution agreements and as Apple tries to show its own AI push can turn into something users notice, not just a promise on a launch-stage.

According to industry reports released Friday, Oppo and Vivo might advance the launch of at least one next-generation flagship smartphone to September, driven by MediaTek speeding up the release of its Dimensity 9600 chip. September is crucial since it marks the peak season for premium phone launches. Apple usually debuts its latest iPhones then, while Chinese manufacturers rush to capture domestic market share with rapid hardware updates and competitive pricing.

iOS 26.3 Could Finally Encrypt iPhone-to-Android Texts — What Apple’s Beta Reveals

Apple’s iOS 26.3 beta reveals a new carrier-specific setting hinting at end-to-end encryption for RCS messages — the updated SMS standard that many iPhone-to-Android texts rely on, according to a report analyzing the beta files. The code apparently enables this feature for just four French carriers, and it’s currently disabled. The timing is crucial since RCS now serves as the default messaging option for iPhone users texting Android devices without switching apps. Yet, these RCS conversations on iPhones still don’t offer end-to-end encryption, creating a vulnerability for anyone who equates “modern messaging” with privacy.

iOS 26 adoption scare: StatCounter flags Safari bug as Liquid Glass backlash simmersSAN FRANCISCO, Jan 16, 2026

On Thursday, web analytics company StatCounter reported that Apple devices running iOS 26 are being misidentified as older iOS 18 versions in Safari. This glitch has skewed popular narratives about the slow uptake of the new OS. “Apple are incorrectly declaring iOS 26 as 18.7 and 18.6 in their safari browser on iOS. We’re working on a fix for this,” the firm noted on its iOS version market share page. The reason this matters is straightforward: iOS adoption rates offer one of the clearest public insights into how fast iPhone users upgrade to new software. When adoption slows significantly, it means more devices stay stuck on older versions. That, in turn, forces app developers to maintain support for a wider

Apple’s iOS 26.3 beta hints at encrypted iPhone-to-Android texts — and carriers may hold the switch

Apple is edging closer to offering end-to-end encryption for Rich Communication Services texts between iPhones and Android phones, after new references surfaced in carrier bundles tied to iOS 26.3 beta 2, according to a Yahoo Tech report. That matters because RCS — a modern replacement for SMS that adds features like read receipts and better photo sharing — has been available on iPhones since iOS 18, but cross-platform chats have largely lacked end-to-end encryption, meaning phone companies and other intermediaries could potentially see message content as it moves across networks.

iOS 26 iPhone users may finally get encrypted Android texts — but carriers can still hold the switch

Apple is preparing for end-to-end encryption in RCS messages with iOS 26.3 beta 2, the texting protocol used when iPhones communicate with Android devices, according to Android Authority. The new carrier settings show up exclusively for four French carriers, but none have activated the feature so far. This is important because RCS now serves as the default “bridge” for everyday messaging between iPhones and Android phones, yet it doesn’t offer the same privacy safeguards as iMessage. Unlike RCS, iMessage uses end-to-end encryption, ensuring only the sender and recipient can read the messages—not the carrier or the platform handling the data.

iPhone 18 leaks tease under-display Face ID and 120Hz screens — plus a possible split launch

A fresh iPhone 18 leak claims Apple’s next Pro iPhones could hide Face ID under the display—finally. The same tip keeps the iPhone 18 Pro at around 6.3 inches and the iPhone 18 Pro Max at around 6.9, while the standard iPhone 18 is still expected to keep a Dynamic Island-style cutout. This matters because Face ID isn’t just “a camera.” It’s a full sensor system, and pushing it behind the OLED panel is the kind of change you feel every time you unlock your phone.

iPhone 18 leaks collide with Galaxy S26 rumors: under‑screen Face ID, Qi2 magnets, and a bigger shake‑up than expected

Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro leak mill just got louder: a Weibo account known for supply‑chain scoops claims the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will add under‑screen Face ID. If that happens, the front camera could shift to a small punch‑hole, and the regular iPhone 18 could reportedly slip to around March 2027. Why this matters now is simple: Apple hasn’t meaningfully changed the iPhone’s front silhouette in years, and Face ID is the one feature it can’t afford to weaken. Even among leakers, reports are split on whether the Dynamic Island disappears entirely or just shrinks, with analyst Ross Young and The Information’s Wayne Ma pointing to different outcomes.

Apple closed out 2025 as the leading smartphone brand worldwide, capturing a 20% slice of the global market, according to data from Counterpoint Research. Their latest figures reveal the smartphone market itself expanded by 2% compared to the previous year. It’s not a breakout year, but a 2% increase carries weight. That figure might seem modest until you consider how closely the phone market depends on component availability, carrier deals, and current consumer spending power.
