    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.

    OpenAI CEO Sam Altman has some thoughts about the future of artificial general intelligence.

    AGI, or artificial intelligence that’s as smart as a human, isn’t here yet — see, uh, everything Bing has done lately. But if it ever does arrive, Altman is (unsurprisingly) quite excited for it, and in his latest OpenAI blog, he talks about how the company is thinking about it.

    “Get up there, Cybertruck!”

    Here’s a video of the long-delayed Tesla Cybertruck “off-roading” over some bushes in front of Tesla’s new engineering HQ in Palo Alto. Check out that giant windshield wiper! (For more on the Cybertruck’s wiper woes, click here.)

    Here’s a 1984 photo of Steve Jobs watching somebody use a then-new Macintosh.

    The photo was shared in an email from The Steve Jobs Archive. Here’s what’s going on, from the archive’s executive director, Leslie Berlin:

    Steve’s friend Jean Pigozzi, who calls himself a “serious amateur photographer,” took the image and told me the story behind it. Although Jean did not work in tech, Steve invited him along to a software conference in New Orleans. One evening after the event, as they were walking down O’Keefe Avenue looking for dinner, Steve—a notoriously fast walker—pulled to a halt. Someone in a store window was working on a Macintosh.

    He had to take a closer look. How was this person using the Mac? Steve is so curious, so lasered in on trying to understand, that he is bent nearly double.

    Also, today is Jobs’ birthday. He would have been 68.
