A number of measures are being considered as part of President Trump's promise of extreme vetting for foreign visitors that could possibly include forced disclosure of phone contacts, as well as the passwords of their social media accounts.

Apple is talking about its product roadmap in detail. Next year, Apple will release a successor to the Mac Pro, which has been largely unchanged since its release in 2013. A new standalone display will come in 2018 as well.
