OpenAI launched its AI video‑generation app Sora, but international reports revealed that the operating cost may reach about $15 million per day, or over $5.4 billion annually.Analysis indicates that producing a 10‑second clip may cost around $1.30. Despite the high popularity (~4.5 million downloads early), the company admits that “the economics are currently unsustainable.”
Meanwhile, Mozilla updated its Firefox browser (version 145) with enhanced protections against device fingerprinting.  The update includes adding noise to rendered images, blocking access to locally installed fonts, and standardizing reported system specs such as number of cores and screen resolution. 
As for Apple, it announced the iPhone Pocket, a limited‑edition accessory created in collaboration with ISSEY MIYAKE: a fabric wrist or crossbody pouch designed to hold the iPhone, AirPods and other daily items. Priced from $149.95 to $229.95 depending on strap length, it has sparked widespread debate online about value versus functionality. 
In short, the tech age now extends beyond just speed and buttons — it’s about usage philosophy and experience design, from AI‑generated videos to a fabric accessory that “wears” your phone.
