According to CNBC, Chinese smart-glasses maker Even Realities Technology raised $150 million in a pre-Series B funding round with investors including Meituan and Tencent, valuing the company at $1 billion. The Shenzhen-based startup, founded in 2023 by CEO Will Wang, said Monday it will use the funds to develop its next-generation smart glasses platform, deepen AI integration, scale global operations and accelerate product innovation; Wang previously worked at Apple from 2016 to 2018 and was involved in the development and mass production of Apple Watch and iPhone. CNBC reported that Even Realities launched the Even G2 smart glasses late last year alongside the Even R1 smart ring, and said its G2 glasses do not include a camera or recording hardware, instead offering messaging, navigation and live translation via a heads-up display embedded in the lenses. The company said more than half of its user base is in the U.S., and about 80% of its developers are also in the U.S. IDC data cited by CNBC showed global smart glasses shipments rose 167% year over year in the first quarter to 2.25 million units, with Meta Platforms holding nearly 70% market share; IDC expects global shipments of smart glasses to more than double to 50 million in 2030.

7-Eleven has filed a lawsuit against Nike in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, alleging trademark infringement and unfair competition over Nike’s planned July 11 release of the Air Max 95 “Big Bubble QS 2” (style code IR1944-102), according to Jiemian News. 7-Eleven claims the shoe’s side stripes use a color combination highly similar to its signature horizontal orange, green and red stripes, and alleges Nike intentionally set the launch date on “7-Eleven Day,” the retailer’s annual promotional day, in violation of the U.S. Lanham Act. As of July 6, Nike had not issued an official response. The shoe was reportedly removed from Nike’s SNKRS app in some regions, while resale-market premium rumors circulated.

According to Lianhe Zaobao citing AFP, Russia launched a new wave of large-scale airstrikes on Ukraine ahead of the annual NATO leaders’ summit, which is set to open Tuesday, July 7, in Ankara. A senior US official said President Donald Trump will meet Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Wednesday, July 8, to discuss how to end the war, and also plans to speak with Russian President Vladimir Putin afterward. The report said Kyiv was hit early Monday, July 6, by Russian missiles and drones, killing at least 11 people and injuring 40 in Kyiv and the Bucha area. Ukraine’s air force said Russia fired 68 missiles and 351 drones overnight, and Ukrainian air defenses shot down or suppressed 37 missiles and 326 drones. Ukraine has also expanded long-range drone strikes on targets inside Russia and in Russian-occupied Crimea, including energy infrastructure, ports, and military facilities. After an attack on energy facilities in Sevastopol on Monday, the area experienced a temporary power outage. Russian officials said Ukrainian drone strikes the same day damaged the Baltic port of Vysotsk and Ust-Luga, one of Russia’s largest oil export ports. A Financial Times analysis cited in the report said Russian refineries have been attacked at least 194 times so far this year, about 10 times the level a year earlier, contributing to what it described as Russia’s most severe fuel crisis in decades. The report also cited a source saying Russia is unlikely to enter substantive negotiations before February next year, and that Putin has ordered forces to seize the remaining parts of Ukraine’s Donetsk region by year-end.

According to Lianhe Zaobao citing AFP, a funeral procession for Iran’s late supreme leader Ali Khamenei was held in Tehran on Monday, July 6, drawing millions of mourners as authorities tightened crowd controls to avoid a repeat of the deadly stampede seen at Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini’s 1989 funeral. The ceremony began at 6 a.m., and Khamenei’s coffin—after lying in state for two days at Tehran’s Grand Mosalla Mosque—was escorted through the capital; he was killed at age 86 in an Israeli airstrike on February 28 that the report said was based on US intelligence. Iranian officials erected tall concrete barriers to separate the coffin convoy from the public; in 1989, Khomeini’s funeral drew about 10 million people and resulted in more than 10 deaths and over 10,000 injuries. The report said Khamenei’s son Mojtaba, who was appointed as successor after the attack, has not appeared publicly or attended memorial events, with officials saying he was also injured in the airstrike. It added that newly appointed Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps commander Ahmad Vahidi and Quds Force commander Esmail Qaani appeared at the outdoor funeral, while several former Iranian presidents who had tense relations with Khamenei were not seen. After the Tehran procession, the coffin is set to travel to Qom, Najaf and Karbala, and be buried on Thursday, July 9, in Mashhad.
