Amazon expands Prime Air drone delivery to nearly 500 U.S. cities this year, 13 years after the first announcement. Anduril scales toward 1,000 engineers in Seattle. An AirTag reveals Amazon's secret Las Vegas site scanning books for AI training data. These steps advance drone logistics, defense systems, and clean dataset sourcing.

Amazon is expanding its Prime Air drone delivery program to nearly 500 U.S. cities and towns this year, more than a decade after the concept was first unveiled. This week's developments also include Anduril's rapid hiring push in the Seattle area and a reporter's AirTag uncovering a secretive Amazon book-scanning operation.
The tracker followed a shipment of rare books to a site where volumes are cut apart and digitized, reportedly for AI training data free of existing AI-generated content.

Apple raises prices $100 across every remaining previous-generation iPhone

Apple has raised prices by $100 on the iPhone 16, full iPhone 17 lineup and iPhone Air immediately after unveiling the iPhone Duo and iPhone 18 Pro, according to tipster reports. The move means an affordable iPhone now costs more than it did yesterday.

Apple Launches Its C2 Cellular Modem Alongside iPhone Duo

Apple introduced the C2 modem with the iPhone Duo announcement, promising up to 50% faster uploads, 15% lower power consumption, and mmWave support in the US. Fully integrated with the A20 Pro and iOS 27, the platform uses AI algorithms to strengthen connection reliability in weak signal areas.

Windows 10 1607 DHCP Server Hit by CVSS 8.0 Vulnerability

Microsoft disclosed CVE-2026-69412, an 8.0-rated stack-based buffer overflow in Windows DHCP Server that lets an authenticated attacker execute code over an adjacent network, affecting Windows 10 1607. Patches are available while exploitation remains unlikely with no known attacks reported.
