In an announcement on Tuesday, the Federal Communications Commission says the ban will include "mobile" robots, such as humanoid and quadruped models - but it is not limited to robots that walk around. Though the FCC says the move isn't targeted at a specific country, it will have a major impact on China as the country ramps up efforts to produce humanoid robots, some of which we've seen in viral videos stumbling to Michael Jackson, partaking in MMA fights, and even appearing … Read the full story at The Verge.

The Phone and FaceTime apps didn't get as many new features as some of Apple's other apps, but there are a handful of capabilities that add utility and convenience.

When you call a company, the Phone app can surface relevant information from the Mail app. If you call an airline, it might show your confirmation code for an upcoming flight, or your reservation code if you're calling a hotel.

Why it matters: This marks Iran's first ballistic missile attack against a U.S. base in the region since President Trump paused strikes against Iran last Friday to give diplomacy another chance. The attack threatens to unravel the fragile pause and could force Trump to decide whether to resume military action against Iran. State of play: CENTCOM said forces from Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps launched the missiles at 5:45 p.m. ET. "U.S. forces remain vigilant and at a high state of readiness," the command said. The big picture: Iran targeted the same country where two U.S. service members were killed in a missile and drone barrage earlier this month, prompting Trump to intensify his 13-night campaign of strikes.
