Spotify vs Apple Music: Antitrust allegations are so dumb - BGR

A new report from Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) sheds some interesting light on how popular Apple Music is relative to Spotify. The report specifically focuses on iOS users. The report is especially interesting in light of the DOJ’s recent antitrust lawsuit against Apple for allegedly enjoying an illegal monopoly over the smartphone market. The lawsuit claims, in part, that Apple leverages its monopoly power to the detriment of competitors like Spotify. We’ll get to the DOJ suit…

Ford Mustang Mach-E under investigation over self-driving crashes -...

Today, the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) announced an investigation into reports that certain self-driving vehicles from Ford are prone to crashing into stationary cars. To date, the NHTSA has documented two incidents where Ford Mustang Mach-E vehicles crashed into stationary cars that “were located within the travel lanes of controlled-access highways.” Tragically, both incidents resulted in at least one fatality. In both instances, the crashes occurred at night while F…

Apple posts Q2 earnings: Revenue comes in at $90.8 billion - BGR

Apple today posted its Q2 earnings report and delivered $90.8 billion in revenue while earnings checked in at $1.53 per share. Analysts, meanwhile, were anticipating revenue of $90.3 billion and EPS to fall in the range of $1.50 per share. And as a point of comparison, Apple during the year-ago quarter posted revenue of $94.8 billion and earnings of $1.52 per share. It is worth noting that Apple’s EPS traditionally gets a little boost on account of the company’s ongoing stock buyback program. Wh…

Here's how analysts got everything wrong about iPhone demand - BGR

With the iPhone still accounting for 50% of Apple’s quarterly revenue, it’s no surprise that Apple’s financial health is often gauged by how well the iPhone is doing quarter to quarter. It is, however, important to remember that efforts to measure the vibrancy of iPhone sales on a quarterly basis can sometimes present an inaccurate and misleading picture. A prime example of this trap, which is easy to fall into, was made abundantly clear during Apple’s earnings conference call yesterday. For som…

Microsoft modifies ChatGPT software for US spy agencies

A new report from Bloomberg relays that Microsoft recently introduced a customized version of ChatGPT-4 for US Intelligence agencies. One of the key differentiating features is that the modified software is “entirely divorced from the Internet.” This will allow spy agencies to use it in a manner that protects classified information. Specifically, agencies will not have to worry about their data being hacked or leaked. Additionally, they won’t have to worry about ChatGPT incorporating inputed dat…

Apple apologizing for its iPad Pro ad is absurd and embarrassing

As someone who has been following Apple for decades, I’m used to watching the company get unreasonably critiqued for flimsy reasons. It’s nothing new, and I’ve seen it happen time and time again over the years. But the backlash stemming from a recent iPad Pro commercial is like nothing I’ve ever seen. If anything, it confirms that a good number of tech pundits and observers would have made great background characters in the classic Mike Judge film Idiocracy. And to make matters worse, if not dow…

Amazon wants to turbocharge Alexa so it can compete with ChatGPT - BGR

According to a report from CNBC, Amazon has plans to completely overhaul Alexa, the company’s popular voice assistant. The report notes that the upcoming version of Alexa will be more conversational as to more ably compete with advanced chat software like ChatGPT. The news should come as a nice surprise for heavy Alexa users. While Alexa works perfectly fine for simple tasks like setting…

Apple is working on thinner designs for next-gen iPhone 17, Apple W...

A new report from Bloomberg relays that Apple’s iPhone 17, set for launch in 2025, may be significantly thinner than its predecessors. The report is interesting insofar that Apple, especially since Jony Ive left the company, had somewhat abandoned its obsession with thinness. For many, this was a welcome about-face as some felt that Apple was sacrificing functionality for aesthetics. Indeed, countless surveys over the years have shown that most Apple users prefer a slightly bulkier form factor i…

Why Siri’s ChatGPT integration might drive some iPhone users crazy

For as remarkable as Siri was when it debuted in 2011, Apple’s digital assistant has since been lapped by rival services from Amazon and Google. I myself noticed that the amount of time I spend using Siri has gone down significantly over the years, largely because it has become less helpful to me over time. And that’s hardly a minority opinion, as Apple users have bemoaned Siri’s lack of utility relative to competitors for years. With iOS 18, that is poised to change. Thanks to Apple Intelligenc…
