Last week, The Wall Street Journalreported that the iPhone 17 Air will cost less than the iPhone Pro models, contradicting the long-standing expectation that the new ultra-thin iPhone would be even more expensive than the iPhone Pro Max models. With that being the case, the phone actually makes more sense than ever.

Mahomes, 29, stepped out in a winter-white ensemble of a turtleneck sweater, wide-leg fleece pants and matching boots.
To accommodate the chilly Missouri temperature, Mahomes topped off her look with a long, white peacoat. The jacket featured “15” and an illustrated football play on one shoulder in red thread. The other read, “Sterling,” Bronze” and “Baby Girl” to represent her and husband Patrick Mahomes’ three kids.
Brittany and 29-year-old Patrick, who wears No. 15 on his football jersey, are parents to Sterling, 3, and Bronze, 20 months. They are also currently expecting baby No. 3, another daughter.
Brittany brought both Sterling and Bronze to Patrick’s Saturday afternoon game against the Houston Texans. The Chiefs won 27-19.
“Feeling that Win a little extra today 15 we are proud of you,” Brittany wrote via Instagram on Saturday.

For glam, Brittany wore her signature blonde locks in a wavy ponytail and rocked a pale pink lipstick.
Ahead of the game, Brittany took the kids to the sidelines to give Patrick a trio of good luck hugs and kisses before kickoff. Saturday’s game was the Chiefs last home matchup of the regular season. Next, they play the Pittsburgh Steelers on their Pennsylvania turf on Wednesday, December 25, ahead of the playoffs.
Three-time Super Bowl champ Patrick has had the sideline support of Brittany since they started dating in high school.
“He doesn’t get nervous or stressed at all. That’s just what he likes to do,” Brittany said during an August appearance on the “WHOOP” podcast, noting she gets more anxious about the games. “I think he loves going into a new week having new game plans, having new challenges, having new people that he’s playing.”
Outer Banks is coming to an end, but the fictional world is still growing with a prequel and a spinoff.
The hit Netflix series, which premiered in 2020, introduced the conflict between two groups of teenagers in a coastal North Carolina town. The social divide was focused on the Kooks, a.k.a. the wealthy residents, and the working-class crew known as the Pogues. The search for a lost treasure caused the two squads to be even more at odds, while a found family formed between the friend group at the center of the show.
Outer Banks catapulted stars Chase Stokes, Madelyn Cline, Madison Bailey, Jonathan Daviss, Rudy Pankow, Drew Starkey, Carlacia Grant and Austin North to fame before Netflix confirmed in November 2024 that season 5 would be the show’s last.
“We are excited for season 5, and we’re excited for other stories in this universe down the line,” the executive producers said during an interview with Deadline about the future of Outer Banks. While the trio wouldn’t elaborate on their plans for the fictional universe, the outlet reported that no projects are currently in the works but offshoots are being explored.
Fans already know about The Runarounds, which was ordered by Prime Video but will explore a teen band that originated on Outer Banks. Meanwhile, Netflix will remain in the treasure-hunting game through a potential prequel titled Kildare.

‘Outer Banks’
After premiering in 2020, Outer Banks quickly found its audience and the show continued to break streaming records for Netflix. Outer Banksmade a controversial decision ahead of its final season when Pankow’s fan-favorite character, JJ, died.
‘The Runarounds’
Based on a teleplay from Jonas Pate and David Wilcox, the fictional series will follow the real band of the same name featuring William Lipton, Axel Ellis, Jeremy Yun, Zendé Murdock and Jesse Golliher.
Fans of Outer Banks might recognize The Runarounds after they appeared on an episode of the show in 2023. The Runarounds were seen in the background playing at an anniversary party for the parents of Kiara (Bailey).
Pate confirmed in December 2024 that Prime Video already ordered a second season before the show even premiered.
Pate revealed in December 2024 that he was writing a prequel to Outer Banks titled Kildare. The series is still in the early stages but would feature a whole new set of young actors and focus on the founding of each group in the show’s fictional Figure 8 town.

The Washington Commanders never lost hope and were able to dig out from five turnovers to turn around and stun the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday, 36-33.
Jayden Daniels had five touchdown passes in the game, three of which came in the fourth quarter. The Commanders were down 27-14 as the final quarter started. He threw a 4-yard touchdown pass to Olamide Zaccheaus to inch the team closer.
The Commanders forced the Eagles to punt on their next drive. Daniels then found Zaccheaus for a 49-yard touchdown pass to take the lead. For another six minutes, Washington was in control but back-to-back field goals from Eagles kicker Jake Elliott gave Philadelphia a lead with under two minutes to go.
Daniels then led Washington down the field on nine plays and found wide receiver Jamison Crowder with enough space in the end zone to make the go-ahead grab with six seconds left in the game. The Commanders took the three-point lead and they won the game.
Daniels was 24-of-39 with 258 passing yards. Along with his five touchdown passes, he also threw two interceptions.
Commanders running back Brian Robinson Jr. had two fumbles lost and wide receiver Dyami Brown had one, contributing to the large turnover number.
But Washington ultimately benefited from Philadelphia losing quarterback Jalen Hurts in the first quarter due to a concussion. Kenny Pickett subbed in for him and had 143 passing yards, a touchdown pass, an interception and three sacks.
Eagles running back Saquon Barkley had 150 rushing yards and two touchdowns. But the Eagles’ offense looked a bit anemic after scoring 21 points in the first quarter.
A.J. Brown led the team with eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown.
Washington improved to 10-5. It’s their first 10-win season since 2012. The Eagles fell to 12-3.

Blake Lively filed a legal complaint against her "It Ends with Us" costar, Justin Baldoni.
Taylor Swift and Hailey Bieber appeared in the complaint.
Lively's complaint said Baldoni and his team conspired to damage her reputation.
In a new legal complaint, Blake Lively said that her "It Ends with Us" costar, Justin Baldoni, who also directed and produced the film, conspired to damage her reputation and credibility.
The complaint also mentions Taylor Swift and Hailey Bieber.
Lively named Baldoni and six other defendants in her complaint, including the CEO and cofounder of his production studio, Wayfarer Studios. She also named communications crisis manager Melissa Nathan of The Agency Group PR and Baldoni's publicist, Jennifer Abel.
In the complaint, Lively said Baldoni and his team created a "multi-tiered plan" using "social manipulation" to "destroy" her reputation.
"This plan went well beyond standard crisis PR. What Ms. Nathan proposed included a practice known as 'Astroturfing,' which has been defined as 'the practice of publishing opinions or comments on the internet, in the media, etc. that appear to come from ordinary members of the public but actually come from a particular company or political group,'" according to the complaint.
The complaint says that Baldoni and his team discussed controversies around Swift and Bieber as strategic suggestions while conspiring against Lively.
Bryan Freedman, an attorney for Baldoni and Wayfarer Studios, said Lively's complaint was a "desperate attempt to 'fix' her negative reputation."
Baldoni and his team considered leveraging backlash around Swift and the 'weaponization of feminism,' the complaint says

Nathan's communications company shared a "Scenario Planning" document with Baldoni and others that outlined potential strategies "should [Ms. Lively] and her team make her grievances public," the complaint says.
The complaint includes a copy of that document, which Lively's attorneys obtained through a civil subpoena.
The planning document discussed what Baldoni's team could do if Lively's husband, actor Ryan Reynolds, publicly defended her against critics. It included a reference to Swift, who is a friend of Lively. The pair have attended Kansas City Chiefs football games together and have been photographed by paparazzi while hanging out.
"As part of this, our team can also explore planting stories about the weaponization of feminism and how people in BL's circle, like Taylor Swift, have been accused of utilizing these tactics to 'bully' into getting what they want," the planning document says, according to the complaint.

Lively's complaint also contained screenshots of text message conversations between Baldoni and his team, which were also obtained through a civil subpoena. According to the complaint, Baldoni sent a text message to his publicist, Abel, in early August.
"A few days later, on August 5, 2024, Mr. Baldoni set the narrative for the social media campaign, sending Ms. Abel a screenshot of a thread on X that had accused another female celebrity of bullying women," the complaint said. "Mr. Baldoni stated, 'this is what we would need.'"
The social media post included two pictures of Bieber and insinuated she had bullied other women. That narrative gained traction on social media in 2023 and resulted in widespread backlash against Bieber.
A representative for Lively referred Business Insider to a statement she shared with The New York Times.
"I hope that my legal action helps pull back the curtain on these sinister retaliatory tactics to harm people who speak up about misconduct and helps protect others who may be targeted," she said.
Lively also said neither she nor her representatives planted negative stories about Baldoni or Wayfarer Studios.
Baldoni's attorney said the accusations in Lively's complaint were "completely false, outrageous and intentionally salacious with an intent to publicly hurt and rehash a narrative in the media."
Representatives for Bieber and Swift did not respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.
