Today, the Linux Foundation launched the Agentic AI Foundation with three founding projects: Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), Block’s goose agent framework, and OpenAI’s AGENTS.md standard. The foundation brings together the companies building the infrastructure layer for agents: Anthropic, Block, OpenAI, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, Cloudflare, and Bloomberg, alongside key tooling and platform companies. Docker is joining as a Gold member. From Open Source to Production The timing reflects how quickly the space has matured. A year ago, MCP launched as an open source project from Anthropic, solving a specific problem: how AI systems connect to tools and data. It’s now running on 10,000+ public servers and adopted across Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, VS Code, and Gemini. Six months ago, companies started deploying agents that take real actions, triggering builds, accessing databases, modifying infrastructure, executing workflows. That shift from prototype to production created new questions around protocols and governance. Today, foundational protocols that helped answer those questions, protocols like MCP, are moving to the Linux Foundation under the same governance structure that stewards Linux and PyTorch. Why Neutral Governance Matters When infrastructure becomes critical, developers won’t build on protocols that could change arbitrarily. And larger teams and enterprises want shared standards. Over the past year we’ve partnered with Anthropic, Block, and other key players in the AI ecosystem to help create and embrace standards like MCP, Goose, and AGENTS.md. The Agentic AI Foundation creates a structure for the industry to unite behind these standards, building an ecosystem of interoperable tools that benefit developers. Docker is excited to join as an active Gold member to drive innovation in developer-first, secure tools across our ecosystem. What Happens Next The protocols exist. Adoption is happening. The foundation ensures these protocols evolve transparently, with input from everyone building on them. Docker helped build that structure for applications. Now we’re doing it for agents.

Google is rolling out a redesigned video editor on iOS devices, providing an updated design that is "faster and easier to use." There's a universal timeline with support for multi-clip editing and storytelling, plus an adaptive canvas that makes editing simpler. Tools that you need to edit photos and videos are easier to access, and Google says "everything you need is right where you expect it to be." When creating videos, users can browse the Photos music library and quickly add a soundtrack to a highlight video. There are also several features that are available on Android devices that could expand to iOS devices in the future. Android users have access to templates with pre-set formats that include built-in music, text, and cuts that are synced to a soundtrack, along with the option to add custom text overlays. Google says that the new features will be available to users starting today.

Apple has ordered 22 million OLED panels from Samsung Display for the first foldable iPhone, signaling a significantly larger production target than the display industry had previously anticipated, ET News reports. In the now-seemingly deleted report, ET News claimed that Samsung plans to mass-produce 11 million inward-folding OLED displays for Apple next year, as well as 11 million accompanying external displays. With Samsung Display serving as the exclusive supplier of these components, the production plan implies that Apple's own target output for the first-generation foldable ‌iPhone‌ is in the range of 10 million finished devices, since suppliers usually produce more components than Apple needs to account for yield and quality variations. This production plan is more than 30% higher than initial industry expectations, which placed early foldable ‌iPhone‌ shipments between six million and eight million units. Those earlier estimates were based on the historical performance of the global foldable smartphone market, which has hovered just above 20 million units annually. The report reiterated that the device is expected to feature a book-style, inward-folding design with a 5.35-inch external display and a 7.58-inch folding internal display. It is believed to contain an advanced hinge design and specialized material properties to minimize the crease in the folding display. Apple reportedly plans to adopt Color Filter on Encapsulation (COE), a method that removes the traditional polarizer layer and integrates its functionality directly into the OLED stack. Eliminating the polarizer can reduce thickness and improve brightness. The device is also rumored to incorporate an Under Display Camera (UDC), allowing the internal display to achieve a more seamless full-screen appearance without a punch hole or visible camera cutout. The first foldable ‌iPhone‌ is expected to launch next year alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and ‌iPhone 18‌ Pro Max.Tags: ETNews, Foldable iPhone, Samsung This article, "Apple to Make More Foldable iPhones Than Expected" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

Klarna is now available as a buy-now, pay-later option when using Apple Pay in France and Italy. This financing option lets you pay for your Apple Pay purchase in monthly installments, with the shortest payment plans being interest free. Eligible customers can split purchases into three monthly installments, or choose to pay up to 30 days later, without paying any interest. For higher-value purchases with longer payment plans, Klarna says it offers competitive interest rates. Klarna was already available via Apple Pay in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Spain, and Sweden, so there are now eight countries supported. Apple discontinued its own buy-now, pay-later service called Apple Pay Later last year, and instead started partnering with third-party providers, including Klarna, Affirm, and Synchrony. Availability of these providers varies by country. When checking out with Apple Pay online and in apps, iPhone and iPad users can select "Other Cards & Pay Later Options" to access installment payment plans from Klarna and other financing partners, where available. Starting with iOS 26, the buy-now, pay-later options are also available for in-store Apple Pay purchases.Related Roundup: Apple PayRelated Forum: Apple Music, Apple Pay/Card, iCloud, Fitness+ This article, "Apple Pay Now Lets You 'Pay Later' With Klarna in Two More Countries" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article
