The Gulf of America is official  

President Trump ordered it to be changed in official government documents on Wednesday, which has prompted Google Maps and Apple Maps to make the change too. 

Google said it made the change in line with its "longstanding policy" of reflecting name changes updated in official US government sources, but, the change is only for US users. It'll still be the Gulf of Mexico in Mexico and the rest of the world will get Gulf of America in brackets.  

Google has had to turn off reviews on that location though, because internet users have bombarded it with one star reviews and comments. 

Microsoft's Bing Maps are yet to update it.  

 

Apple is expected to launch a new low-end phone next week  

CEO Tim Cook teased the launch saying it'll be an opportunity to see the “newest member of the family”. 

It's widely expected to be the new version of the iPhone SE, whose current model is the only remaining iPhone with a physical home button. It's expected to get the A18 chip, which is in the current iPhone 16, and will debut the Apple's new homegrown modem.  

 
  
Meta's laid off thousands of people this week  

They've cut 5% of their workforce, which is up to as many as 3,600 people. They have publicly said they're targeting staff who aren’t meeting expectations, to make way for strong AI talent. This is now the third time they've started the year with layoffs.
