During Meta’s antitrust trial today, lawyers representing Apple, Google, and Snap each expressed irritation with Meta over the slides it presented on Monday that The Verge found to contain easy-to-remove redactions. Attorneys for both Apple and Snap called the errors “egregious,” with Apple’s representative indicating that it may not be able to trust Meta with its internal information in the future. Google’s attorney also blamed Meta for jeopardizing the search giant’s data with the mistake.

The screen and camera details of the iPhone Fold have surfaced yet again, with a list of identical specifications making an earlier leaker’s claim seem slightly more likely to be true.
The iPhone Fold is expected to have two screens, with a smaller outer display for general use and a folding internal one that’s much larger. It now seems that the rumor mill has agreed on some of the essential specifications of those components.
In a Naver post, serial leaker ”yeux1122” posted some details about the iPhone Fold’s screens. The key internal one is listed as measuring 7.76 inches diagonally, with a resolution of 2,713 by 1,920 and a theoretical pixel density of 428 pixels per inch.

Despite scaremongering headlines, Trump did not escalate his ”reciprocal” China tariff to 245% on Tuesday night. The figure is a reinstatement of previous tariffs that don’t apply to Apple or big tech at all.
Coming on top of previous escalations and the Apple exemption that Trump says isn’t an exemption, it wouldn’t have been surprising if the China tariff rose again. And the White House itself stoked fear-mongering by how it phrased the tariffs in a fact sheet issued late on Tuesday night, April 15, 2025.
”China now faces up to a 245% tariff on imports to the United States,” says the fact sheet, ”as a result of its retaliatory actions.”
Källa: No, Trump has not raised the China tariff to 245 percent
