Anthropic Launches Claude Fable, Its Most Advanced Public Model Yet

Let’s start with the biggest AI news of the day: Anthropic has announced Claude Fable, its new Mythos-level model with similar capabilities for the public.

The model is already live in Claude Code and Claude App for paid subscribers, including Pro and Max subscribers. However, it will be available only for Claude subscribers until June 22, and later it will only be accepted through credit usage. It claims to beat every model currently available in the market, including its own Opus 4.8, GPT 5.5, and Gemini 3.1 Pro.

You can try it now if you are a Claude subscriber, but Anthropic says it consumes 2x tokens compared to Claude Opus 4.8. Anthropic also says they added strict guardrails, and it automatically switches back to Opus 4.8 if it finds the user misusing the model with its cybersecurity capabilities.

Why This Matters:
This marks one of the more meaningful public releases from a major AI lab in recent months. Users can now access stronger performance for writing, coding, and research tasks without needing enterprise plans. Over time, this could push other companies to release more capable models publicly, giving everyday users better tools while raising questions around data privacy and usage limits.

iOS 27 Code Hints at Apple Working on a Foldable iPhone

Apple is going to announce its first-ever foldable iPhone this year. We already know almost everything about the device, including what it’s going to look like, its name (iPhone Ultra).

Many reports point out that it is going to launch alongside the upcoming iPhone 18 series later this year. Although most of these were from reliable sources, this time we got the hint directly from Apple. In the latest iOS 27 and macOS 27, there are code references that mention terms like foldable, hinge, and much more, hinting that we are finally getting Apple’s first foldable phone this year (I hope).

Why This Matters:
While a foldable iPhone is still likely 1–2 years away, these leaks give us early signals about Apple’s approach to the category. Readers planning to buy a new iPhone in the next 12–18 months may want to hold off and see how Apple executes on foldables. We’ve been tracking this closely in our iPhone foldable roundup.

Google Rolls Out Gemini 3.5 with Improved Live Translate

Google launched its new Gemini 3.5 Live Translate audio model, which can translate speeches in real time. It supports up to 70 languages, and the translation will sound very similar to the speaker’s voice, or at least it’s close enough. Google demonstrated its capability by translating Google I/O Sundar Pichai’s speech to Hindi.

Introducing Gemini 3.5 Live Translate

While it translated the audio very accurately without latency, for me, Sundar’s voice sounded different. They have some way to go in matching the speaker’s voice in real-time. This model is coming to other Google products too. For instance, Google Translate supports real-time conversations, where it can translate speech in real time. It is also coming to Google Meet and will be available in the form of an API for developers.

Why This Matters:
Real-time translation has been one of the more practical AI features for many users. The improvements in Gemini 3.5 make it noticeably more reliable for calls, travel, and multilingual conversations. This is the kind of AI update that can actually change how people use their phones day to day, rather than just adding another chatbot.

Instagram Now Lets Users Rearrange Profile Grid

After testing it for more than a year, Instagram is now finally rolling out the ability to rearrange your Instagram profile grid in the way you want. Instagram announced this feature last year and is now rolling it out to everyone on the Instagram app on Android and iOS. You can simply drag and drop the images.

rearrange grid option
This won’t affect the publish date of your posts. It works for all of your posts and will work for all your future posts too. There is a mention of its limitation on how many times you can edit. The good thing is that Instagram made it free for everyone, not just for Plus subscribers, which was launched recently. If you don’t see it yet, wait for some time, and you can watch my detailed guide on how to get this feature now and how to edit your Instagram grid.

Why This Matters:
This is a small but long-requested feature, especially useful for creators, photographers, and businesses who treat their profile like a portfolio. It removes one of the biggest frustrations with Instagram’s rigid grid layout. Here’s how you can rearrange your Instagram profile grid right now.

Apple Expands App Store Subscription Bundles

Soon, you will be able to purchase the app through subscription bundles and save lots of money. Apple WWDC is still happening, and the company is making a couple of more announcements apart from what we got from the main event.

The latest update is that the app store is getting subscription bundle offers, where developers can partner with each other and offer their apps together in a bundle. I am specifically waiting for the days when rival apps in the App Store come together and offer discounts to use their apps. Services like Humble Bundle must be really thrilled with this news.

Why This Matters:
This change could lead to more flexible and affordable subscription options for users. Instead of subscribing to multiple apps individually, people may soon be able to get bundled access at a better price. It also gives developers a new way to increase revenue without raising individual app prices.

Intel Macs Lose Official Support in Latest macOS

Apple intel powered MacBook
Bad news if you own an old Intel-based laptop. macOS Golden Gate, which is the name for Apple’s latest macOS 27, which was announced alongside iOS 27, has dropped support for Intel-powered Macs. Apple also says app developers are not required to make their apps compatible with Intel versions anymore, officially ending support.

Why This Matters:
If you’re still using an Intel Mac, this is an important signal that it’s time to start planning an upgrade. While your current Mac will continue to work, it will stop receiving major OS updates and security improvements. We recommend checking our latest Mac buying guide if you’re considering a replacement.

No Shortage of Privacy Concerns in Meta

Meta is taking another step to invade your privacy. In a blog post (it seems like now it’s removed), the company announced that it is going to use your activity data from a third-party website that uses Meta business services like Meta Pixel to personalize your feed on Facebook and Instagram, and also possible Meta AI services.

Facebook no privacy

This change is currently rolling out globally, excluding these countries for now: the European region, the UK, Brazil, Thailand, South Africa, Turkey, South Korea, Ecuador, Nigeria, and Kenya. Meta Pixel is a tracking code used by my website for analytics. This is very concerning that data from other websites is being collected using seriously nefarious methods at another level. The concept of using third-party data isn’t new; many other platforms, including Google, TikTok, and Snapchat, use it for ads, but Meta is going one step ahead and using it to personalize your feeds, possibly across all Meta apps.

Fortunately, you can turn this feature off from the settings. On Instagram or Facebook, go to settings and use the search bar to search for Off-Meta Activity and turn it off. I am also going to cover it in a dedicated post.

Why This Matters:
These updates give users slightly more visibility and control over how their data is used for advertising. However, the changes remain limited and don’t fundamentally reduce Meta’s data collection practices. It’s worth reviewing your settings if you’re concerned about cross-app tracking.

More Than 20000 Accounts Were Compromised in the Latest Meta AI Support Agent Hijack

If you are unaware, hackers take control of your account by just chatting with the Meta AI. Yes, that’s right, hackers discovered that Meta AI can be tricked into resetting the Instagram password of an Instagram account. Meta rolled out an AI support assistant, which helped users reset passwords, enable two-factor authentication, and much more. Now, using the same Meta AI support, hackers have tricked the system into believing they are the owners of the account.

Meta AI Support Assistant
They then tricked the Meta AI support bot into sending a password reset email to an address the hacker provided. Meta AI confidently sent the password reset email to the hackers, giving them the ability to reset the password and completely access their Instagram accounts.

Fortunately, only accounts with no two-factor authentication were compromised. As per the report, hackers have hijacked more than 20,000 accounts. So, if you haven’t enabled two-factor authentication, we would highly recommend that you do it now.

Why This Matters:
This incident highlights a growing risk: as companies push AI into customer support, attackers are finding new ways to exploit it. If even Meta’s own systems can be manipulated to steal accounts, users need to be extra cautious when interacting with AI chat support on any platform. We strongly recommend enabling two-factor authentication and being extremely careful about sharing any personal or login-related information through AI chatbots.

Those are the eight biggest news stories that happened today. Anthropic previously restricted the Mythos level model, but thanks to an increase in competition, it has now rolled out to everyone with the guardrails. Meta’s approach to privacy is still a nightmare for the users; Google has brought a very handy feature to the service.
