Late last week, United Airlines announced that it signed an agreement with Elon Musk's SpaceX to bring its Starlink internet service to its entire fleet and — for the first time — offer free Wi-Fi to all passengers. To dig a bit deeper into why United went with Starlink, what that rollout will look like and what it means for passengers and crew, we talked to United's Chief Customer Officer Linda Jojo. "If I could have done this change earlier, I certainly would have, because we're proud of a lot of things, but we do think that our customers deserve a better Wi-Fi experience than the one they have today," Jojo told me when I asked why the company is changing providers now.
Shares of Apple fell nearly 3% on Monday after some analysts said delivery times for the new iPhone 16 Pro models indicated weaker-than-expected demand, possibly due to the delayed rollout of key artificial intelligence features. Apple last week unveiled its long-awaited iPhone 16 series designed around its AI software, Apple Intelligence. Early pre-order data from BofA Global Research revealed shorter global shipping times for the iPhone 16 Pro models compared with last year's 15 Pro models, as of Monday, three days after Apple started taking pre-orders.

Intel lost out on a contract to design and fabricate Sony’s PlayStation 6 chip in 2022, which dealt a significant blow to its effort to build its fledgling contract manufacturing business, according to three sources with knowledge of the events. The effort by Intel to win out over Advanced Micro Devices in a competitive bidding process to supply the design for the forthcoming PlayStation 6 chip and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Co as the contract manufacturer would have amounted to billions of dollars of revenue and fabricating thousands of silicon wafers a month, two sources said. Intel and AMD were the final two contenders in the bidding process for the contract.

Shares of Apple (AAPL) are under pressure amid reports of weak iPhone 16 demand. First-weekend preorder sales for the iPhone 16 series are estimated to be about 13% lower than the iPhone 15. Maxim Group managing director and senior consumer internet analyst Tom Forte joins Market Domination to discuss the news and whether Apple will see a significant upgrade cycle. "I think the challenge for Apple, as reflected in those reports, is that they're trying to get a consumer to buy new hardware, which is coming out in the month of September. But the best-selling point for that hardware, especially for consumers in the US — Apple Intelligence, the AI-related features — those aren't coming out until beta next month," Forte tells Yahoo Finance. "And then it's more challenging for sales in Europe and China, where the AI-related features are coming next year, perhaps later. So I think that I'm not surprised that you're seeing a slow start for the 16 lineup on this gap between the hardware and the software." He argues that the iPhone 16 will have an upgrade cycle for AI, but it will likely be half the size of the upgrade cycle for 5G. While millions of consumers have iPhones that are at least three years old, Forte notes that a lot of the hardware updates, like processor speed and camera improvements, haven't "necessarily pushed the needle on an incremental amount of consumers upgrading their Apple device." He believes that the AI upgrade cycle will "take time," and adds, "it isn't helping the company that there's this gap between the hardware and the software." However, he does see consumer interest in AI-enabled smartphones. For more expert insight and the latest market action, click here to watch this full episode of Market Domination.

Research Team Creates Robotic Leg With Human-Like Muscles. Robots may be the technology of the future - but did you know they rely on technology that's 200 years old to power them? Even the most advanced walking robots are driven by motors rather than muscles, which explains why they lack the agility seen in humans and animals. However, researchers at ETH Zurich and the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems (MPI-IS) have developed a revolutionary muscle-powered robotic leg. It may not look like much now, but the robotic leg could pave the way for far more advanced human-like robots than we have today like those seen in The Terminator films, or Steven Spielberg's A.I. Artificial Intelligence. That's because the new leg, designed by the Max Planck ETH Centre for Learning Systems (CLS), is more energy-efficient than conventional motor-powered legs and capable of performing high jumps, fast movements, and adapting to obstacles without the need for complex sensors. The research team, led by Robert Katzschmann from ETH Zurich's Soft Robotics Lab and Christoph Keplinger from MPI-IS, has modelled the robotic leg on the human musculoskeletal system. Their animal-inspired design uses electro-hydraulic actuators, known as HASELs, which mimic the flexor and extensor muscles in living organisms. These actuators are oil-filled plastic bags, with conductive electrodes that are drawn together when a voltage is applied, creating a shortening effect similar to muscle contraction. This technology allows the robotic leg to contract and extend just like natural muscles, with paired movements that give it remarkable agility. The greater efficiency of the new musculoskeletal leg also removes another problem conventional motors have - cooling. As with living creatures, the robotic leg's flexibility allows it to navigate uneven surfaces, making it an exciting advancement in the field of robotics.
