The iPhone 16e has generated mixed reviews ahead of its launch this Friday. While some reviewers praise the device's power-efficient C1 modem and improved battery life, others are disappointed by the lack of MagSafe and certain features found in higher-end models.

The reduced price point may be enough to attract budget-conscious buyers, but those seeking more advanced features may want to consider the regular iPhone 16. Apple's decision to move away from Qualcomm modems is seen as a step towards greater control over hardware and performance, but its impact on the user experience is still unclear.

U.S. President Donald Trump has called on Apple to scrap its diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) policies, citing potential litigation and financial risks.

This comes after a shareholder meeting where Apple recommended against abolishing its DEI goals, stating it would micromanage the company's operations. Trump believes Apple should get rid of the policies, while CEO Tim Cook emphasized the importance of creating a culture of belonging.

The move has sparked debate on the impact of DEI programs on companies and their employees. Trump's stance has been criticized by some, who argue it undermines efforts to promote diversity and inclusivity.

Apple has removed its Advanced Data Protection (ADP) feature from iCloud in the UK, effective immediately.

It also highlights the tension between government demands for law enforcement and individual rights to privacy and security.
