    Financial Crisis Fears Grow as U.S.-Iran Tensions Drive Inflation and Bond Market Turmoil

    Financial analyst Philip Pilkington warns of a potential severe financial crisis within 3 to 6 months due to structural pressures in global markets, including surging bond yields, high energy prices, and escalating U.S.-Iran tensions. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's attempts to stabilize the situation have so far been unsuccessful, with interventions failing to halt the bond market sell-off. Experts fear a 'doom loop' where the war intensifies inflation, spooks the bond market, and slows the economy, with no end in sight.

    Apple Marks Three MacBook Models as Obsolete

    Apple has added three older MacBook models to its list of obsolete devices: the 2018 Retina MacBook Air, 13-inch 2018 MacBook Pro (four Thunderbolt 3 ports), and 13-inch 2017 MacBook Pro (two Thunderbolt 3 ports). This means standard hardware service and replacement parts will become harder to access through Apple's authorized service network. The change affects only laptops, and battery-only repairs may still be available up to 10 years after the product went off sale, subject to parts availability.
