Samsung has unveiled the Galaxy Z Flip 5 Retro<\/a>, a limited-edition foldable that pays homage to the SGH-E700 (AKA the SGH-E715 in the US), which came out 20 years ago in 2003. It has the same indigo blue and silver color combo as the original and a few special widgets, but it\u2019s otherwise the same foldable flip phone from earlier this year. This special edition will go on sale in Korea and several countries in Europe, but not the US.<\/p>\n

The SGH-E700 was Samsung\u2019s first mobile phone with an integrated antenna and became a certified hit, selling more than 10 million units. Weirdly, this isn\u2019t even the first time Samsung has tugged at nostalgia strings with this phone: in 2007, Samsung effectively reissued the same phone with new radios<\/ins><\/a> as a nostalgia play, even though it was only four years old at the time.<\/p>\n

What we got right (and wrong) about Elon Musk\u2019s takeover of Twitter<\/a><\/h2>\n

Exactly one year has passed since Elon Musk, fresh off a months-long legal battle that forced him to buy the company, strolled into Twitter headquarters carrying a sink. We weren\u2019t entirely sure what to expect. But there was no shortage of predictions about just how messy and chaotic Twitter might become under Musk\u2019s leadership. The biggest twist, however, might be Meta making its Twitter rival, Threads, into a viable (if flawed) alternative. Karissa Bell walks through what did (and didn\u2019t) happen when Musk took charge.<\/p>\n

Threads is working on an API for developers<\/a><\/h2>\n

Threads aims to be the place for public conversations online.<\/h3>\n

\n

Threads was missing a lot of features users would expect from a service similar to Twitter (now X) when it launched. But over the past few months, it has added more new features, but as it still doesn\u2019t have an API, third-party developers can\u2019t create features with hooks into their services. For example, local transport agencies can\u2019t automatically post service alerts when a train is delayed.<\/p>\n

According to Instagram chief Adam Mosseri, though, Threads is working on an API for developers \u2014 he just has some reservations. He\u2019s concerned the API\u2019s launch could mean \u201ca lot more publisher content and not much more creator content.\u201d Mosseri may be hinting at the early days of Threads, where people\u2019s feeds were dominated by brands and accounts with (presumably) social media staffers posting up a storm.<\/p>\n

Google\u2019s default search engine status cost it $26 billion in 2021<\/a><\/h2>\n

The figure was revealed in the DOJ\u2019s antitrust trial against the search giant.<\/h3>\n

\n

Google VP Prabhakar Raghavan testified the company paid $26.3 billion in 2021 for maintaining default search engine status and acquiring traffic. Most of that likely went to Apple, in order to remain the default search option on iPhone, iPad and Mac.<\/p>\n

Raghavan, who was testifying as part of the DOJ\u2019s ongoing antitrust suit against the company, said Google\u2019s search advertising made $146.4 billion in revenue in 2021, which puts the $26 billion it paid for default status in perspective. The executive added that default status made up the lion\u2019s share of what it pays to acquire traffic.<\/p>\n
