Intel Laying Off Tens of Thousands of Employees: CEO Memo
Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan stated that the layoffs followed a "systematic review" of the company's headcount and spending. At the end of 2024, Intel had 108,900 employees. Now the chipmaking giant is planning to cut over 33,000 jobs to cut the workforce to 75,000 employees by the end of the year. Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan, 65, said in a memo to staff on Thursday that Intel is implementing a plan to reduce its workforce by 15%. The layoffs are in addition to the approximately 21,000 roles (about 20% of Intel's workforce) the company let go from April to June, which mainly focused on cutting down layers of middle management. Intel previously announced in August that it was laying off 15% of its workforce, or over 15,000 employees, last year. Related: Intel Requires Employees to Work From the Office More Often: 'This Action Is Necessary' In its second-quarter earnings report released on Thursday, Intel reported a sixth consecutive quarterly loss of $2.9 billion, nearly double its $1.6 billion loss at the same time a year earlier. The increased loss was mainly due to restructuring costs of $1.9 billion due to job cuts. Tan stated in a conference call with analysts and investors following the report that over the past three months, he had completed "a systematic review" of Intel's headcount and spending. "Our goal is to reduce inefficiencies and redundancies and increase accountability at every level of the company," Tan stated on the call. "We need to right-size and scale back the company." Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan. Photographer: Annabelle Chih/Bloomberg via Getty Images Tan, who was previously CEO of chip software company Cadence Design Systems from 2009 to 2021, is now tasked with turning Intel around after three years of declining revenue. He became Intel's CEO on March 18, replacing former CEO Pat Gelsinger. Intel faces competition from rival companies like Nvidia, which captured a greater share of the AI chip market. Nvidia had between 70% and 95% of the market share for AI chips last year, compared to Intel's less than 1%, per CNBC.

The company plans to launch more efficient chips later this year to better compete with Nvidia and other rivals, per The Wall Street Journal. Intel stock was down over 7% this past month, but up nearly 2% year-to-date.

Liquid Glass, Live Translation, and All the Other Important New iOS26 Features Coming to Your iPhone
While we still don't know what new hardware the iPhone 17 models might be packing, we have seen the big changes coming to iPhone software with iOS26. Liquid Glass delivers a significant design refresh, and that's just where Apple is starting. The Photos app is getting a functional redesign, while Messages and Phone apps are putting power back in your hands by delivering features around hold, and screening calls. Apple Intelligence is still contributing as well, even if Siri has been delayed. The next version of the operating system is due to ship in September or October (likely with new iPhone 17 models), but developer betas are available now, with a public beta expected this month. Watch this: Introducing iOS 26 at WWDC25 04:37 Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET Transparent new Liquid glass design After more than a decade of a flat, clean user interface -- an overhaul introduced in iOS 7 when former Apple Chief Design Officer Jony Ive took over the design of software as well as hardware -- the iPhone is getting a new look. The new design extends throughout the Apple product lineup, from iOS to WatchOS, TVOS and iPadOS. The Liquid Glass interface also now enables a third way to view app icons on the iPhone home screen. Not content with Light and Dark modes, iOS 26 now features an All Clear look -- every icon is clear glass with no color. Lock screens can also have an enhanced 3D effect using spatial scenes, which use machine learning to give depth to your background photos. The new All Clear icon look in iOS 26 is part of the Liquid Glass design. Apple/Screenshot by Jeff Carlson/CNET Dynamic and adaptable lock screen Translucency is the defining characteristic of Liquid Glass, behaving like glass in the real world in the way it deals with light and color of objects behind and near controls. But it's not just a glassy look: The "liquid" part of Liquid Glass refers to how controls can merge and adapt -- dynamically morphing, in Apple's words. In the example Apple showed, the glassy time numerals on an iPhone lock screen stretched to accommodate the image of a dog and even shrunk as the image shifted to accommodate incoming notifications. The dock and widgets are now rounded, glassy panels that float above the background. As notifications fill the bottom of the screen, the subject in the background image is pushed up and the time numerals resize to accommodate. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET Watch this: I'm Impressed With iOS 26. Apple Just Made iPhones Better 05:40 Camera and Photos apps go even more minimal The Camera app is getting a new, simplified interface. You could argue that the current Camera app is pretty minimal, designed to make it quick to frame a shot and hit the big shutter button. But the moment you get into the periphery, it becomes a weird mix of hidden controls and unintuitive icons. The Camera app has fewer distractions. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET Now, the Camera app in iOS 26 features a "new, more intuitive design" that takes minimalism to the extreme. The streamlined design shows just two modes: Video or Camera. Swipe left or right to choose additional modes, such as Pano or Cinematic. Swipe up for settings such as aspect ratio and timers, and tap for additional preferences. With the updated Photos app, viewing the pictures you capture should be a better experience -- a welcome change that customers have clamored for since iOS 18's cluttered attempt. Instead of a long, difficult-to-discover scrolling interface, Photos regains a Liquid Glass menu at the bottom of the screen. The Photos app gets a welcome redesign. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET The Phone app gets a revamp The Phone app has kept more closely to the look of its source than others: a sparse interface with large buttons as if you're holding an old-fashioned headset or pre-smartphone cellular phone. iOS 26 finally updates that look not just with the new overall interface but in a unified layout that takes advantage of the larger screen real estate on today's iPhone models. The Phone app's unified layout should make for less switching between screens when dealing with calls. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET It's not just looks that are different, though. The Phone app is trying to be more useful for dealing with actual calls -- the ones you want to take. The Call Screening feature automatically answers calls from unknown numbers, and your phone rings only when the caller shares their name and reason for calling. Or what about all the time wasted on hold? Hold Assist automatically detects hold music and can mute the music but keep the call connected. Once a live agent becomes available, the phone rings and lets the agent know you'll be available shortly. Messages updates The Messages app is probably one of the most used apps on the iPhone, and for iOS 26, Apple is making it a more colorful experience. You can add backgrounds to the chat window, including dynamic backgrounds that show off the new Liquid Glass interface. Enliven your daily chats with backgrounds and more group features. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET In addition to the new look, group texts in Messages can incorporate polls for everyone in the group to reply to -- no more scrolling back to find out which restaurant Brett suggested for lunch that you missed. Other members in the chat can also add their own items to a poll. A more useful feature is a feature to detect spam texts better and screen unknown numbers, so the messages you see in the app are the ones you want to see and not the ones that distract you. Safari gets out of its own way In the Safari app, the Liquid Glass design floats the tab bar above the web page (although that looks right where your thumb is going to be, so it will be interesting to see if you can move the bar to the top of the screen). As you scroll, the tab bar shrinks. Web pages occupy the entire screen and the address bar shrinks to get out of the way. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET FaceTime focuses on calls, not controls FaceTime also gets the minimal look, with controls in the lower-right corner that disappear during the call to get out of the way. On the FaceTime landing page, posters of your contacts, including video clips of previous calls, are designed to make the app more appealing. FaceTime minimizes its controls into one corner. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET New Music app features Do you like the sound of that song your friend is playing but don't understand the language the lyrics are in? The Music app includes a new lyrics translation feature that displays along with the lyrics as the song plays. And for when you want to sing along with one of her favorite K-pop songs, for example, but you don't speak or read Korean, a lyrics pronunciation feature spells out the right way to form the sounds. AutoMix blends songs like a DJ, matching the beat and time-stretching for a seamless transition. And if you find yourself obsessively listening to artists and albums again and again, you can pin them to the top of your music library for quick access. Keep the beat going with intelligence-based song transitions using AutoMix. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET New Games app is a reminder that yes, people game on iPhone The iPhone doesn't get the same kind of gaming affection as Nintendo's Switch or Valve's Steam Deck, but the truth is that the iPhone and Android phones are used extensively for gaming -- Apple says half a billion people play games on iPhone. Trying to capitalize on that, a new Games app acts as a specific portal to Apple Arcade and other games. Yes, you can get to those from the App Store app, but the Games app is designed to remove a layer of friction so you can get right to the gaming action. The new Games hub has a simple control screen to let you navigate all of your Apple games on any device. Apple/Screenshot by CNET Live translation enhances calls and texts Although not specific to iOS, Apple's new live translation feature is ideal on the iPhone when you're communicating with others. It uses Apple Intelligence to dynamically enable you to talk to someone who speaks a different language in near-real time. It's available in the Messages, FaceTime and Phone apps and shows live translated captions during a conversation. Live translation during a voice call Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET Maps gets more personal Updates to the Maps app sometimes involve adding more detail to popular areas or restructuring the way you store locations. Now, the app takes note of routes you travel frequently and can alert you of any delays before you get on the road. A Maps widget shows a frequently-used route. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET It also includes a welcome feature for those of us who get our favorite restaurants mixed up: visited places. The app notes how many times you've been to a place, be that a local business, eatery or tourist destination. It organizes them in categories or other criteria such as by city to make them easier to find the next time. New CarPlay features Liquid Glass also makes its way to CarPlay in your vehicle, with a more compact design when a call comes in that doesn't obscure other items, such as a directional map. In Messages, you can apply tapbacks and pin conversations for easy access. Widgets are now part of the CarPlay experience, so you can focus on just the data you want, like the current weather conditions. And Live Activities appear on the CarPlay screen, so you'll know when that coffee you ordered will be done or when a friend's flight is about to arrive. The new CarPlay interface with Liquid Glass. Screenshot by CNET Wallet improvements The Wallet app is already home for using Apple Card, Apple Pay, electronic car keys and for storing tickets and passes. In iOS 26, you can create a new Digital ID that acts like a passport for age and identity verification (though it does not replace a physical passport) for domestic travel for TSA screening at airports. The app can also let you use rewards and set up installment payments when you purchase items in a store, not just for online orders. And with the help of Apple Intelligence, the Wallet app can help you track product orders, even if you did not use Apple Pay to purchase them. It can pull details such as shipping numbers from emails and texts so that information is all in one place. The Wallet app supports legal state IDs and national IDs for age and identity verification. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET New features powered by Apple Intelligence Although last year's WWDC featured Apple Intelligence features heavily, improvements to the AI tech were less prominent this year, folded into the announcements during the WWDC keynote. As an alternative to creating Genmoji from scratch, you can combine existing emojis -- "like a sloth and a light bulb when you're the last one in the group chat to get the joke," to use Apple's example. You can also change expressions in Genmoji of people you know that you've used to create the image. Combine existing emoji using Apple Intelligence. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET Image Playground adds the ability to tap into ChatGPT's image generation tools to go beyond the app's animation or sketch styles. Visual Intelligence can already use the camera to try to decipher what's in front of the lens. Now the technology works on the content on the iPhone's screen, too. It does this by taking a screenshot (press the sleep and volume up buttons) and then including a new Image Search option in that interface to find results across the web or in other apps such as Etsy. Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET This is also a way to add event details from images you come across, like posters for concerts or large gatherings. (Perhaps this could work for QR codes as well?) In the screenshot interface, Visual Intelligence can parse the text and create an event in the Calendar app. Some iOS 26 updates Apple didn't mention Not everything fits into a keynote presentation -- even, or maybe especially, when it's all pre-recorded -- but some of the more interesting new features in iOS 26 went unremarked during the big reveal. For instance: If you have AirPods or AirPods Pro with the H2 chip, you can use AirPods Camera Remote to start recording video on your iPhone by pressing and holding one of the AirPods. You can choose your own snooze duration of between 1 and 15 minutes for alarms. Audio recording options have expanded, enabling high-quality recording during conference calls and high-definition recording in the Camera app with AirPods and AirPods Pro that contain the H2 chip. Accessibility features include an "all-new experience designed with Braille users in mind," more options for the Vehicle Motion Cues feature to avoid motion sickness and "a more customizable reading experience." Reminders uses Apple Intelligence to "suggest tasks, grocery items and follow-ups based on emails or other text on your device." The Journal app supports multiple journals, inline images and a map view that tracks where journal entries were made. Parental controls have been updated in unspecified ways, including "enhancements across Communication Limits, Communication Safety and the App Store." Apple/Screenshot by Joe Maldonado/CNET iOS 26 availability The finished version of iOS 26 will be released in September or October with new iPhone 17 models. In the meantime, developers can install the first developer betas now, with an initial public beta arriving this month. (Don't forget to go into any beta software with open eyes and clear expectations.) Follow the WWDC 2025 live blog for details about Apple's other announcements. iPhone models compatible with iOS 26 iOS 26 will run on the iPhone 11 and later models, including the iPhone SE (2nd generation and later).

Everything to know about Tea, the viral and controversial app that lets women mark men as red flags
BY Not too long ago, it used to take trial and error and a girls' night to find out that your date is a walking red flag. Now, there's an app for that. The Tea Dating Advice app—which allows women to anonymously leave feedback on men—has quickly captured the attention of social media. Founded and self-funded by former product manager Sean Cook, the app quietly launched in 2023, but it has just recently gained momentum. Beating out ChatGPT, the app this week became the No. 1 most downloaded app on Apple's App Store. It has over 4 million users, the company claims. Cook first started the company after 'witnessing his mother's terrifying experience with online dating—not only being catfished but unknowingly engaging with men who had criminal records,' the company website reads. Fast Company reached out to Tea for comment on this article. A press representative declined. The idea behind Tea is not new. Similarly themed forums have existed for years online. For instance, in the popular 'Are We Dating the Same Guy' Facebook group, women share photos and information about their partners to find out if they were cheating, while also offering support networks to spot red flags. And while such groups do routinely get taken down due to privacy concerns, apps mimicking the model have also popped up, with one even taking the group's name. Still, as the Tea app continues to gain traction, it has also garnered criticism and raised concerns about privacy, particularly among male groups. How does Tea work? Serving as a sort of 'Yelp for men,' Tea lets women leave feedback on men they have previously dated, marking them as a green or red flag. Marketing itself as an app that revolutionizes safety in dating for women, the app also has a built-in sex-offender map and a chat section for women to discuss advice. Additionally, a premium paid version of the app offers more advanced safety tools, including an AI -powered reverse image search to spot catfishing, a background check tool, and criminal record and court document searches. The paid version of the app currently costs $14.99 a month, with 10% of the profits going to the National Domestic Violence Hotline, according to an annual giving statement published on the app's website. Fast Company reached out to the National Domestic Violence Hotline to confirm, but did not receive a comment at the time of publishing. To access Tea, women have to verify their gender by submitting a selfie, which is then verified by the app's team. Once accepted, users can post a photo of their partners, comment on perceived toxic behavior, add design elements like green or red flags, or generally ask the community if they know any 'tea' on them. However, there is no verification process to certify that all claims are truthful. Fast Company gained access to the Tea app and used some of its features, which were prone to glitches during a review of the UX on Friday. Screenshots of the app are disabled. Men are not happy about it While Tea as a concept might seem useful for women in today's complex dating world, men online are alarmed by the app. In one popular Reddit group, r/MensRights, a megathread about the Tea app was started on July 24, following several posts of men criticizing the app and asking how to get posts about them taken down. On TikTok, several posts denouncing the app have also gone viral. 'This is a disaster of epic proportions,' one user shared on TikTok. 'You don't even have to prove you went on a date with this person.' Additionally, claims of a 'male version' of the app circulated on social media, with users claiming that it was quickly taken down due to inappropriate content, although its existence is not yet verified. It's unclear if Tea's sudden popularity will land it on the radar of Apple or Google, both of which have lengthy guidelines that prohibit apps with harmful or objectionable content on their app stores. Fast Company reached out to Apple and Google for comment. Growing concerns as user base skyrockets It's not just men who have expressed concerns or even outright complaints about Tea. 'It's so oversaturated. I was scrolling, and there is a bunch of men with no comments, no anything,' one female user shared on TikTok. 'I feel like that defeats the purpose.' Concerns over user safety have also circulated, with some worried that women with access to the app might be sharing the posts with their male friends, which could potentially put the anonymous users in harm's way. Meanwhile, the news website 404 Media recently reported on a data breach in which personal information from Tea users—including drivers' licenses and selfies—were allegedly leaked on 4chan. Tea acknowledged the breach after the story was published via a post on the app, saying the leaked dataset included 72,000 images, of which 13,000 were selfies and other types of photo identification. Tea's privacy policy claims that photos are 'securely processed and stored only temporarily and will be deleted immediately following the completion of the verification process.' However, the leaked dataset was from 'over two years ago,' the post says, contradicting the company's own privacy policy. As Tea continues to spark debates around privacy, toxic dating cultures, and potential ways that the app could be abused, many users across social media are merely highlighting the deeper meaning behind the app itself. 'While everyone's laughing at the stuff posted on that app, I'm honestly disgusted. My heart breaks for every woman who's been cheated on, lied to, mistreated, harassed, or worse,' another user shared on TikTok. 'There is nothing funny about trauma. It's not cute. It's not entertainment.' The super-early-rate deadline for Fast Company's Most Innovative Companies Awards is tonight, July 25, at 11:59 p.m. PT. Apply today.
