    Is this Twitter’s future CEO?

    The Verge’s friends over at Platformer report that Steve Davis, CEO of The Boring Company, is becoming a key player in Elon Musk’s management of Twitter. Musk says Twitter should be ready for a new CEO by the end of 2023 after users voted for him to step down — perhaps Davis will take that spot.

    Twitter’s Slack is coming back, though with a catch.

    The company’s Slack had been shut down, and now it’s returning, though with all of the old channels archived, according to Platformer’s Zoë Schiffer. The company told employees the old Slack had a whopping 88,188 channels!

    Echo VR fans are taking to the skies to protest Meta’s plan to shut down the game.

    On Wednesday, a plane with the banner reading “ZUCK, DONT KILL VR ESPORTS FIGHTFORECHO.COM” will fly over Silicon Valley. The game is set to shut down on August 1st, and Meta CTO Andrew Bosworth has shared more details about decision, but maybe this air appeal will do something to change Meta’s mind.

    And here’s the iPhone 15 Plus, apparently.

    9to5Mac’s latest renders depict the iPhone 15 Plus, which seems to still be in the works despite reportedly poor sales of the iPhone 14 Plus. The Plus phone looks to also be switching over to a Dynamic Island and USB-C, but if I had to pick an iPhone 15 model based on what we know now, I think I’d go with the rumored Pro red.

    9to5Mac’s renders of the iPhone 15 and 15 Plus.
