Trump/Harris debate?

CNN: Trump won’t commit to debating Harris until she’s officially the nominee.

Pete Buttigieg says Trump is scared. He agreed to a date and time and now he’s backing out.

Maggie Haberman: He’s buying for time, he’s worried.

CNN reports Trump’s campaign says he will debate eventually, and more than once -- and ABC is “full steam ahead” with the planned debate for now.

A foldable iPhone

Ars Technica says Apple is working on a foldable iPhone, due to arrive in 2026 at the earliest. The device may have a clamshell design like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip.

A Star Op: Seems like Apple's getting serious about a folding phone. The move makes sense -- foldables are already popular in China.

Wired agrees: Apple's entering the foldable market at the perfect time. It could offer a boost in sales, too.

But CNET was less excited: Apple's folding iPhone plans risk making the feature into a generic novelty.
