The Vision Pro is not cheap, though. It costs $3,499 and can go up to $4,600 with accessories. It also has limited apps and battery life. But it offers an unmatched experience of immersive videos and 3D photos that will blow your mind. 🤯
2) Apple reports first sales growth in a year, but faces challenges in China
They finally broke their losing streak and posted their first sales growth in a year! 🎉 They made a lot of money from their App Store and other services, but they also faced some difficulties in China. 😕 They also launched their new product, the Vision Pro headset, which is supposed to be a game-changer in augmented reality. 😎 Do you want to try it out? 🙋♂️
3) Paytm, India's digital payments giant, faces a huge crisis after central bank crackdown
Do you know Paytm? It's a very popular app in India that lets you pay for almost anything with your phone.

Investors are losing faith in its future and customers are worried about their money. 😢
4) Jeff Bezos to sell $8.6 billion worth of Amazon stock
Jeff Bezos, the founder of Amazon and the richest person in the world, is planning to sell up to 50 million shares of his company over the next year. That's a lot of money! 😮 He says he has a trading plan that will end in 2025. Maybe he wants to spend more on his space company or his fashion choices. 🚀👗 Or maybe he just wants to avoid paying taxes in Washington state, where he used to live. 🤑 What do you think?
5) Social media CEOs apologize to families at Senate hearing, but parents demand action
Have you heard about the latest news on social media and online youth safety? 😮 Some parents of children who were harmed or died because of social media platforms confronted the CEOs of Meta, Snap, TikTok, Discord and X at a Senate hearing.
