This one barely registers at 4.Despite some great starry cameos — Paul McCartney’s is easily the best — “Spinal Tap II” leans into the old favorite…

At yet another splashy event, Apple on Tuesday introduced its latest lineup of iPhones: the iPhone 17, 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, and a new slimmer version dubbed the iPhone Air.
