 Apple offers the iPhone 17 Pro and ?iPhone 17 Pro? Max in just three colors - Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue - but notably there's no black option. Last year was the first time Apple's high-end iPhones have not been available with a black or dark gray color option in any way, but those hoping for the return of black this year for the iPhone 18 Pro should look away now.

SpaceX has reportedly taken the step many onlookers have long expected: filing paperwork to hold an initial public offering (IPO) on the stock market and become a publicly traded company. Rumors had long pointed toward the IPO taking place by July.
The company filed draft IPO registration paperwork with the US Securities and Exchange Commission confidentially, according to Bloomberg. As such, the public won't get a chance to closely scrutinize SpaceX's finances just yet. Taking the confidential approach means SpaceX can obtain feedback from the SEC before making the details public and announcing key factors like the price range and number of shares it's planning to sell at the outset.
SpaceX is said to have designs on holding the largest IPO in history. It's reportedly looking to raise $75 billion in the offering, which would far exceed the current record held by Saudi Aramco, which pulled in $24 billion in its 2019 IPO.
It's expected that SpaceX will seek an IPO valuation of $1.75 trillion. When the Elon Musk-led business swallowed up the Elon Musk-led xAI earlier this year (which means SpaceX is now the parent of X and Grok), the entire company was valued at $1.25 trillion.

 The latest iteration of Meta's smart glasses has arrived and, as rumored, they are more customizable, particularly for people who need prescription lenses. Meta and Ray-Ban parent company EssilorLuxottica revealed two new styles of frames: the Ray-Ban Meta Blayzer Optics and Scriber Optics, which will start at $499 a pair.
The latest glasses are still considered to be part of the "Gen 2" Ray-Ban Meta glasses, but they do come with a few upgrades that make it easier to get a personalized fit. According to EssilorLuxottica, both styles have somewhat slimmer frames, swappable nosepads and adjustable temple tips so wearers can get a better fit. And, as the "optics" branding implies, the new frame styles are also compatible with a wider variety of prescription lenses, including progressive lenses and transition lenses.
The Blayzer style frames are more square, similar to the existing Wayfarer glasses, while the Scriber version is a little more rounded, like the "Headliner" style frames. Both come in a variety of colors including some translucent styles and are available now for pre-order on Meta's website and will be on sale April 14. The "optics" lineup will also be sold at more physical retail stores, including LensCrafters, Sunglass Hut, Salmoiraghi & Viganò, Apollo, Grand Vision Optical, Vision Express and other locations that are part of EssilorLuxottica's distribution network.
