News and Updates about Apple

Looking at the tech world's rumor mill these days, you might think Apple was facing some kind of crisis. Not quite. Reports from the Financial Times suggest Apple's board is accelerating succession planning for Tim Cook not because anything's wrong, but because everything's going remarkably right. At 65, Cook has spent more than 14 years turning Apple from a $350 billion company into the world's first $4 trillion tech giant. With the company hitting unprecedented financial milestones, Apple's...

Apple's chip strategy has taken a fascinating turn. Call it a plot twist.

It signals a willingness to trade short-term product neatness for long-term performance leadership.

Japan's regulatory landscape for mobile platforms is shifting fast, and Apple may find the terrain rougher than Europe. The Act on Promotion of Competition for Specified Smartphone Software taking full effect by December 2025 is one of the most comprehensive frameworks aimed at mobile ecosystems to date.

The tech world has been buzzing about Apple's latest quarterly results, and for good reason. Record revenue of $102.5 billion and 8% year-over-year growth (Saxo reports).

We're talking about $102.466 billion (reported as $102.5 billion) in total quarterly revenue, an 8% year-over-year increase driven by the newly launched iPhone 17 lineup and robust Services growth.

Looking at the Apple Card through the lens of someone who has covered tech products for years, I can tell you this is not just another piece of Apple hardware you judge by its specs.

They use MagSafe to create snap-on, stable connections that actually work (Smartphones GadgetHacks).

Apple's decision to eliminate the MLS Season Pass paywall is a sharp pivot in its streaming playbook, one that could reshape how we think about premium sports.

That ends the dual-subscription era, the $14.99 per month or $99 per season add-on fans have paid on top of Apple TV for the past three years.

Big cut, bigger plan.

Tesla's relationship with Apple CarPlay has been one of the most talked-about omissions in the automotive tech world. While nearly every other automaker has embraced smartphone integration, Tesla has consistently resisted adding CarPlay support to its vehicles.

That may be changing, with Tesla now reportedly working on bringing Apple's CarPlay system to...
