The Morning After: Get ready for Nintendo’s big Switch 2 reveal

The biggest news stories this morning: The Light Phone III doesn’t have apps or internet, but still costs $799, xAI, Elon Musk’s AI company, just purchased X, Elon Musk’s social media company, iOS 18.4 is available now.

I’m sidestepping the desperate attempts at April 1 shenanigans and focusing on the imminent Nintendo Direct broadcast, which is likely to confirm rumors and sink others. It may be the perfect device for folks who brag about giving up smartphones and have the money to experiment with stripped-down phones that are the ultimate step back from modern convenience. The suite of AI features will now also work in several new languages “including French, German, Italian, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish, Japanese, Korean and Chinese (simplified) — as well as localized English for Singapore and India.”
