Apple’s hit comedy ‘The Studio’ is making waves across Hollywood for its incisive and hilarious portrayals of all-too common movie biz scenarios, covering topics like the excessive use of ‘I.P.’, keeping overzealous directors in check, and the efforts execs go to overthink casting choices. As well as funny storylines, the show includes a laundry list of star-studded cameos.

The latest episode, which premiered last night, is all about the frenzy of awards season. Incredibly, The Studio managed to get Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos to appear in a scene, in a talking role. You can watch it now on Apple TV+.

Wario must be proud, because Nintendo is now worth more than $100 billion based on share prices. Nintendo Wire spotted that the house of Mario hit the market-cap milestone (again) and now sits as the seventh-largest Japanese company from the same criteria.

It would seem that the upcoming launch of Switch 2–alongside Mario Kart World–has propelled Nintendo’s market cap for this year so far. For instance, FinanceCharts.com shows that the company had roughly a $76 billion market cap (outstanding shares multiplied by stock price) to start 2025. While we knew Nintendo had a Switch successor in the works, it wasn’t until January 16 that Switch 2 was revealed.

Nintendo has updated its privacy policy to confirm that it may record video and audio from GameChat sessions on Switch 2.

As spotted by Nintendo Soup, the change from Nintendo has been enacted in order to ”provide a safe and secure environment for certain of our services”. The privacy policy also clarifies that consent from the user will need to be provided before Nintendo does this.

Here’s what the privacy policy now states:

”Our services may allow you to create, upload or share content such as text, images, audio, video, your nickname and user icon, or other content that you create or is licensed to you. With your consent, and to enforce our terms, we may also monitor and record your video and audio interactions with other users.”

Amid slowing phone sales, Apple gained ground at the country’s largest carriers by offering both premium and affordable iPhones.

U.S. smartphone sales fell 2% year-over-year in the first quarter of 2025, according to new data from Counterpoint Research. The drop was driven by weaker demand in the premium segment, where devices priced above $800 saw the sharpest slowdown.

The cooling high-end market reflects broader consumer caution amid inflation concerns and delayed upgrade cycles.
