And it’s still true that Apple is the less valuable company, and Google’s AI partnership with Apple is perceived as a big part of why. Now, according to Bloomberg’s machine gun of Apple scoops Mark Gurman, Apple is weeks away from demoing the product of that partnership: its revamped version of Siri. For Apple’s sake, it had better not suck. Next month we should expect “demonstrations of the functionality” of Siri…

Following the shutdown of an alternative app store, Apple has accused the European Commission (EC) of using “political delay tactics” as an excuse to probe and fine the company, Bloomberg reported. Apple issued the statement preemptively as commission is reportedly preparing to blame Apple for the shutdown of third-party app store Setapp due to what the developer called “still-evolving and complex business terms.”As part of an EU ruling, Apple was forced to allow third-party marketplaces for apps once the Digital Markets Act (DMA) took effect in 2024.
