Steve Wozniak suggests Tesla, not Apple, will create the next successful tech moonshot
Woz seems to be seduced by the buzz, but the Musk initiatives remain very problematic from a business perspective. Yes exciting, but still problematic.

EU proposes breaking up Google over anti-competition concerns
These regulatory actions almost never get the outcomes they expect or desire. Compound this the apparent focus by EU on US tech companies who have been very successful leads to the conclusion that the decision making is intended to punish these companies in favor of EU companies. EU companies failure to compete is more related to regular story, legal, and investor reward obstacles only weakly related to competition.Note there are similar pressures in US punishing very successful companies, but generally these are not as effective. An example is the US sadly legislative resistance to privacy primarily as a profit/revenue driven lobby efforts as well as legal overreach regarding encryption.

In possible last gasp for iPad mini, Apple increases capacity to 128GB for $399
I really hope Apple updates the mini further, its size is really important to some people who need a light iPad and the largest iPhone is still not a device for reading.
Ideally, a pro version with pencil and perhaps haptic screen like iPhone 7.
Sigh, keep on hoping.

Apple insists Australian payment rule changes shouldn't apply to Wallet
If too onerous or risking security, perhaps Apple needs to eliminate or significantly reduce Services. At some point the foolish efforts to protect existing companies banks etc., from technology competition will stall or even eliminate services in that country. Apple may even have to disable NFC capabilities to protect security. It’s hard to imagine how local country laws can compel capabilities especially if such capabilities become sources for security risks in other countries.I suspect these kind of shenanigans will further delay or even eliminate new capabilities I,wonder if the foolish laws and regulations are part of why Apple Card’s are not available in some countries.

UK's iPhone spying backdoor demand sparks bipartisan US lawmaker anger
As expected every country will demand backdoors or in other words secure anything will disappear. Imagine DOGE/Musk using this as well.

Apple wants to control every image of an apple, says Swiss fruit firm
It’s hard to imagine an actual fruit being confused with a computer. If Swiss only uses logo with fruit and is stipulated to that association I don’t think Apple can complain. However, companies look for loop holes to leverage Apple’s good Rep and so Apple must be vigilant. Also, the Swiss logo at least is clearly inspired by Apple and suggests an intent to mimic and leverage Apple’s Rep.

CVS continues Apple Pay snub, launches barcode-based 'CVS Pay'
Obsession to own the customer data results in 1. Credit Card insecurity and 2. Expansion of number of store apps trying to bypass ApplePay.
Ergo go I shop at Walmart.
