Summary

Google might owe you $5,000. This week, the tech giant settled a $5b lawsuit over ‘incognito mode.’ The Boeing 737 Max is once again suffering a quality issue. The company’s best-selling jetliner must now be checked for a ‘possible loose bolt’ before reaching customers. Global energy prices are ending a year of fluctuation, most recently because of shipping interruptions to the fleet originally routed through the Red Sea and Suez Canal. Energy expert Helima Croft explains the oil supply chain and its impact on the American consumer. Reporters at The Wall Street Journal investigated iPhone thefts for a year; what they found was a common scheme to nab both the device and the passcode from their victims, emptying literal pockets and digital wallets and racking up thousands of stolen dollars. WSJ senior personal tech columnist Joanna Stern explains her reporting and her interview with one of the convicted iPhone thieves, including his advice to protect your phone and your assets. Plus, on the last workday of 2023, we’re sharing one of Squawk’s favorite interviews of the year. Andrew Ross Sorkin and Becky Quick speak with NBA All Star and 4-time championship winner Andre Iguodala. After 19 years on the court, he’s officially hanging up his basketball shoes and turning to his venture capital career full time. His advice for athletes looking to follow his lead: be obsessed. Helima Croft - 3:51 Joanna Stern - 15:42 Andre Iguodala - 23:28 In this episode: Joanna Stern, @JoannaStern Andre Iguodala, @andre Helima Croft, @CroftHelima Leslie Picker, @LesliePicker Michael Santoli, @michaelsantoli Brian Sullivan, @SullyCNBC Andrew Ross Sorkin, @andrewrsorkin Becky Quick, @BeckyQuick Cameron Costa, @CameronCostaNY
