Anthropic may have lost out on doing business with the US government, but it's gained enough popularity to earn the number one spot on the App Store's Top Free Apps leaderboard. At the top, Claude beat out both ChatGPT and Google Gemini, which respectively sit at the second and third spots on Apple's free apps charts.
The sudden surge in user downloads isn't random. It follows news that President Trump has barred any federal agency from using Anthropic's Claude or other AI tools after the AI company refused to concede on certain guardrails. After declining to have its AI models be used for mass domestic surveillance and fully autonomous weapons, Anthropic was also threatened with a "supply-chain risk" label by the Department of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Lenovo already has a large roster of gaming handhelds. However, it seems there's always room for another because at MWC the company showed off an ambitious concept device based around a flexible OLED display. And while the whole setup looks ungainly, after getting my hands on it, I'm very intrigued by its adaptability.

That said, the beauty of the Legion Go Fold's screen is that it can be bent in half to create a more appropriately-sized 7.7-inch panel. In this configuration, the system feels a lot less cumbersome while also sporting a more traditional aspect ratio. Then, at a moment's notice, you can extend the display to provide extra room when you need it.
