Two significant developments in the tech and space industries emerged this week: Apple released iOS 26.3, which simplifies the process for iPhone users to switch to Android, and SpaceX removed the Crew Access Arm at Launch Complex 39A in Florida, signaling a shift in operations. Meanwhile, the enterprise AI landscape continues to evolve, with Glean positioning itself as a key player, and xAI experienced departures following its merger with SpaceX. Additionally, details of ICE's planned expansion into numerous office spaces across the United States were revealed.
Apple's iOS 26.3 update, released Wednesday, introduced a "Transfer to Android" feature, allowing users to easily move their data by placing their Android and Apple phones side-by-side, according to The Verge. This update provides a streamlined process for users looking to transition to Android devices.
Simultaneously, SpaceX removed the Crew Access Arm at NASA's Kennedy Space Center in Florida, a move that Ars Technica reported as potentially giving Starship an advantage. The launch complex, which has a rich history of space exploration, is now undergoing modifications. The site, originally constructed over 60 years ago, has been used for various programs, including the Saturn V rockets and the Space Shuttle program. SpaceX now utilizes the site for its Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy rockets.
In the realm of enterprise AI, Glean is aiming to become the central AI layer for businesses. Glean, which began as an enterprise search product, is now an AI work assistant designed to connect to internal systems and manage permissions, according to TechCrunch. The company, valued at $7.2 billion after raising $150 million last year, is competing with tech giants bundling AI solutions. Glean's CEO, Arvind Jain, discussed the company's vision at Web Summit Qatar.
However, xAI, the AI company founded by Elon Musk, has seen changes. Following the merger with SpaceX, which was valued at $1.25 trillion, two co-founders and other employees have left the company, The Verge reported. xAI's future involves four divisions: Grok, Coding, Imagine, and Macrohard.
Finally, Wired published details of ICE's planned expansion into over 150 office spaces across the United States, including 54 specific addresses. The expansion includes plans to occupy existing government spaces and share spaces with medical offices and small businesses. The article highlighted the potential proximity of these offices to daycares, churches, and treatment centers.
