*By Bridgette Webb* Step aside, iPhones ー the Apple Watch may be coming for your spot. Christopher Mims, tech columnist for the Wall Street Journal, said Apple's wearables division may be the tech of company's future. "Apple's strength at this point with wearables is creating accessories," Mims said Friday in an interview on Cheddar. "You don't need the AirPods, you don't need the Watch or the glasses, but if you put them together, and you have a wireless connection, it might allow a new kind of computing ー a new way to interact with your environment." Augmented reality, Mims said, is another area of focus for Apple. CEO Tim Cook has expressed enthusiasm for the industry, saying last year that he believes the tech will change the way the public operates forever. But AR technology is still in its infancy, and mass adoption remains a pipe dream for insiders. As of now, Apple's ARKit can only add digital objects through an iPhone's camera. It's a feature that Mims said will continue to pose a challenge for the Silicon Valley giant. "Apple's real challenge is no one knows what AR is for," Mims said. "But we don't know what the killer app for consumers will be. I wouldn't be surprised if it were just some updated version of Pokémon GO," he said. Apple will debut new its products and features on September 12 at an iPhone event in Cupertino, Calif. For full interview [click here](https://cheddar.com/videos/apples-next-act).

Starbucks’ Change Flushes Out a Debate Over Public Restroom Access
Starbucks’ decision to restrict its restrooms to paying customers has flushed out a wider problem: a patchwork of restroom use policies that varies by state and city. Starbucks announced last week a new code of conduct that says people need to make a purchase if they want to hang out or use the restroom. The coffee chain's policy change for bathroom privileges has left Americans confused and divided over who gets to go and when. The American Restroom Association, a public toilet advocacy group, was among the critics. Rules about restroom access in restaurants vary by state, city and county. The National Retail Federation says private businesses have a right to limit restroom use.
Trump Highlights Partnership Investing $500 Billion in AI
President Donald Trump is talking up a joint venture investing up to $500 billion for infrastructure tied to artificial intelligence by a new partnership formed by OpenAI, Oracle and SoftBank. The new entity, Stargate, will start building out data centers and the electricity generation needed for the further development of the fast-evolving AI in Texas, according to the White House. The initial investment is expected to be $100 billion and could reach five times that sum. While Trump has seized on similar announcements to show that his presidency is boosting the economy, there were already expectations of a massive buildout of data centers and electricity plants needed for the development of AI.
