You're tuned in to Tech Beat, your daily scan of what matters in technology.

Anthropic is expanding its Claude Cowork feature to web and mobile for Max subscribers. Previously confined to the laptop, users can now kick off a task at their desk, check in from their phone, and return to the finished output later, even with their computer shut. It's a quiet but meaningful shift toward truly ambient AI assistance.

On the hardware front, Fairphone is taking a pointed jab at Nothing's new Phone four-b, which launched today sporting visible screws that turn out to be purely cosmetic. Fairphone called them out on Instagram, noting that their own Fairphone six has visible screws you can actually use. It's a small design detail that cuts to a much larger debate about whether repairability is a genuine commitment or just an aesthetic.

And in the world of tokenized finance, June was a record month. SpaceX tokens alone accounted for nearly one point two billion dollars in trading volume, driving a total of three point eight six billion dollars in tokenized equities trades for the month. It's a signal that demand for private company exposure, even in synthetic form, is growing faster than traditional markets can accommodate.

That's your update for now. Keep surfing. Tech Beat out.
