Greetings! Your latest quick tech update is here:

☀️ On this day: On May 15, 2001, Steve Jobs unveiled Apple's plan to open 25 retail stores across the U.S., hosting a press event inside the not-yet-open Tysons Corner location in Virginia. The company framed the stores as a way for customers to experience what a computer can actually do, rather than just hear about specs. Most analysts predicted the stores would fail; they reached $1 billion in annual sales by 2004, the fastest any retailer had ever hit that mark.

Hand-picked news:

💔 OpenAI explores legal action against Apple ↗️LINK

  • OpenAI hired a law firm to explore breach-of-contract options against Apple, whose 2024 ChatGPT-Siri integration failed to deliver the billions in paid signups OpenAI had projected from the deal.

  • Apple is opening Siri to rival AI providers including Claude and Gemini in iOS 27, while also reportedly angering OpenAI by poaching from its hardware teams and competing via the Jony Ive device deal.

  • The ChatGPT-Siri integration joins a growing list of Apple Intelligence features that underwhelmed, and OpenAI may be positioning itself as a hardware rival by 2027 regardless of how this lawsuit plays out.

🏆 Anthropic beats OpenAI in B2B adoption ↗️LINK

  • Ramp's AI Index shows Anthropic reached 34.4 percent of paying business customers in April 2026, edging past OpenAI at 32.3 percent, after quadrupling its penetration over the past year while OpenAI grew just 0.3 percent.

  • The index tracks how many companies pay each provider through Ramp's corporate card and invoice system, not actual usage or spend volume, making it an indirect signal skewed toward US businesses.

  • Anthropic's lead may be fragile: the company faces complaints about outages and quality dips, its Opus 4.7 model triples image processing costs, and Uber's CTO already said Claude Code blew through the company's entire 2026 AI budget.

🎬 Netflix launches AI studio ↗️LINK

  • Netflix launched INKubator, an internal studio focused on generative AI animated content, with job listings pointing to short-form animated shorts and specials as the first output, with longer-form ambitions stated explicitly.

  • The studio is still hiring key roles including a head of technology, so content is likely far off, but Netflix has already been using AI in ads and acquired Ben Affleck's AI startup InterPositive earlier this year.

  • Netflix's new vertical video mobile format looks like a natural home for INKubator's output, which may be the real reason to watch this: not the studio itself, but where its content ends up showing up.

📱 OpenAI brings Codex to iPhone ↗️LINK

  • OpenAI launched Codex in preview on the ChatGPT iOS app across all plans, letting developers monitor live threads, review code changes, approve actions, and start new tasks from their phones.

  • Codex still runs on a laptop or remote host, but a secure relay layer syncs it to mobile without exposing the computer to the internet, keeping long-running tasks alive without a tethered device.

  • OpenAI's blog took a subtle shot at Anthropic, whose Remote Control and Dispatch features it appears to be matching directly, suggesting the coding agent wars have a new front: your pocket.

📦 Google cuts free Gmail storage to 5GB ↗️LINK

  • Google is testing a new policy for new Gmail accounts in select regions that drops free storage from 15GB to 5GB unless users add a phone number, according to a Reddit screenshot and confirmed by Google.

  • Google framed the test as an incentive to improve account security and data recovery, though users on Reddit were quick to flag the obvious upside for Google: more phone numbers in its user database.

  • Google says existing accounts without phone numbers keep their 15GB, so this only stings new signups, but it sets a precedent for tying free tier benefits to personal data disclosure.
