Dollar Surges to New High, Weakening Shekel Amid Global and Local Uncertainty

The U.S. dollar surged to over 3.22 shekels on Friday, its highest point since December 2025, driven by a sharp Wall Street decline and Israeli domestic uncertainties. This impacts Israeli consumers by increasing the cost of dollar-denominated purchases. While exporters may benefit, the overall effect depends on individual financial strategies. Local factors like government formation uncertainty and geopolitical concerns also weigh on the shekel.

Apple's Secret Keyboard List Filters Over 100,000 Words

Apple's iOS keyboard reportedly filters over 100,000 words and phrases, preventing them from being suggested or recognized by swipe-typing. Discovered by security researcher Derek Kaufman, the secret list includes offensive terms and politically sensitive phrases, such as "Dictator Trump" and "occupied territories" in Hebrew. While Apple states users can bypass suggestions and the feature aims to avoid offensive content, digital rights groups criticize the lack of transparency and user control over this subtle censorship.
