The Lego Group and The Pokémon Company International have finally unveiled the first-ever Lego Pokémon sets ahead of their launch on February 27. The sets range in price and size, from the smaller standalone Eevee set, to the more expensive Pikachu with a Poké Ball set, to the giant trio stand set that included Blastoise, Charizard, and Venusaur (with a big price tag to match). These sets launch this year as part of The Pokémon Company International's wider celebration of the franchise's 30th anniversary. Anyone who purchases the Lego Pokémon Venusaur, Charizard, and Blastoise set between February 27 and March 3 will receive a Lego Pokémon Kanto Region Badge Collection as a gift. However, you must purchase the trio Pokémon via Lego's official website or official Lego stores. Lego Pokémon Eevee "Celebrate Eevee's irresistible charm with Lego Pokémon Eevee, a 587-piece set that brings the cherished Pokémon to life in dynamic detail," a press release reads.

iOS 26.3 will likely be released to the public later this month, but it appears that Apple is preparing to push out another software update in the interim. Apple's software engineers have started testing iOS 26.2.1, according to the MacRumors visitor logs, which have been a reliable indicator for upcoming iOS versions. The update will likely be released at some point this week or next week. iOS 26.2.1 should be a minor update with bug fixes and/or security patches. iOS 26.3 is expected to follow in late January, with key new features in that update so far including a new iPhone-to-Android transfer tool, Notification Forwarding for third-party smartwatches in the EU, and more.

In a statement shared with CNBC today, Apple confirmed that Google Gemini will power the next-generation version of Siri that is slated to launch later this year . "After careful evaluation, we determined that Google's technology provides the most capable foundation for Apple Foundation Models and we're excited about the innovative new experiences it will unlock for our users," the statement said. The report explicitly mentioned that Google Gemini will power Siri, as was expected . Apple's decision to lean on Google's artificial intelligence technology should result in the revamped Siri being more capable and advanced than it otherwise would have been, as Gemini's large language model is significantly larger than Apple's own model. The next-generation version of Siri is expected to be introduced with iOS 26.4 , which will likely be released to the general public in March or April. Apple first announced the personalized Siri features during its WWDC 2024 keynote, but last year it announced that they were delayed . The new capabilities will include better understanding of a user's personal context, on-screen awareness, and deeper per-app controls. For example, Apple showed an iPhone user asking Siri about their mother's flight and lunch reservation plans based on info from the Mail and Messages apps.

A detailed new report from SemiAnalysis argues that while Apple's partnership with TSMC created the modern leading-edge foundry model, the rapid rise of AI computing is changing who pays for new chip technologies and how much influence Apple holds over each new manufacturing node. The report traces how Apple became the single most important customer in the global semiconductor industry by committing early and at scale to new manufacturing processes at TSMC, beginning with the A8 chip in 2014. It argues that Apple's willingness to absorb early costs, fund yield improvements, and align its annual product cycle with TSMC's roadmap allowed the foundry to outpace rivals and cement its dominance at the leading edge. Apple's annual spending at TSMC grew from roughly $2 billion in 2014 to about $24 billion in 2025, while Apple's share of TSMC revenue rose from single digits to as much as 25% at its peak. For much of the past decade, Apple accounted for more than half of initial production at each new node, and in some cases nearly all of it, effectively underwriting the financing of advanced manufacturing when no other customer could do so at scale. However, the rise of AI accelerators has created a second class of customers, such as NVIDIA, who are capable of consuming large amounts of advanced manufacturing capacity. TSMC's revenue mix has shifted significantly as a result. Smartphones once represented nearly half of TSMC's revenue, but that share has fallen as high-performance computing demands, including AI, have grown to become the largest segment. This means Apple is no longer the only customer capable of funding new capacity, even though it remains the largest single customer by revenue. This change is said to already be visible with upcoming manufacturing nodes. Apple's share of early production for TSMC's N2 and A16 nodes is expected to be lower than previous generations, the latter of which is designed for high-performance computing workloads rather than mobile devices. Under SemiAnalysis 's modeling, Apple's position strengthens again at later nodes such as A14, which are being designed from the start to support both mobile and high-performance products. In that scenario, Apple's share of early capacity rises again as its iPhone and Mac chips return to being the primary drivers of volume. While Apple continues to rely on TSMC for its most advanced chips, SemiAnalysis says the company is exploring alternatives for lower-risk components and certain categories to diversify its supply chain. Intel's upcoming 18A-P process is a potential option for some Apple silicon without disrupting flagship products. See SemiAnalysis 's full report for more information.
