If a recent leak is accurate, Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone will feature unusually wide dimensions with a wide inner display. Interestingly, Samsung is also said to be working on a similar "wide" foldable to take on Apple. According to a new report, Samsung is working on a foldable with a 7.6-inch OLED inner screen that'll have a 4:3 aspect ratio. The foldable is said to be unveiled next year with a passport-style design.

Indeed, given the company's market capitalization of more than $4 trillion, the directional moves Apple makes over any time frame will likely impact most investors, whether they hold this stock directly or not.

Thus, Apple's performance is a key indicator of the performance of the broader market.

Apple just announced it will be integrating more ads into the App Store because our poor eyeballs must be assaulted at all times. The company plans on littering search results with advertisements beginning next year. Currently, the App Store only has one ad spot. That's at the very top of search results. If you search for something like Instagram it's likely that top spot will be filled with an ad for a rival social media platform. The new ads will appear further down the actual search results.

Apple announced it will allow alternative app stores in Japan and will permit developers to process payments for digital goods and services outside of its own in-app purchase system in iOS. The iPhone maker is not making these changes because it wants to be more open; it's being forced - in this case, to comply with the country's Mobile Software Competition Act (MSCA), which is now going into effect.

Apple has found itself in the crosshairs of the European Commission many times over the past few years, and now it's also being investigated by the Swiss Competition Commission (SCC).

Apple has clawed back a bit of ground in its legal fight with Epic Games that could have wide-reaching consequences for all app developers. Today, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals mostly upheld a previous contempt ruling regarding fees Apple levied on third-party payment systems. However, the judges did decide to reverse the order that Apple cannot charge any commissions on those external payments, which was one of the company's main arguments in this ongoing debate.

They're not called the AI talent wars for nothing. With Big Tech firms scrambling to attract top talent, executives and artificial intelligence researchers have done a lot of job-hopping this year, and Apple employees were no exception. The company has lost over a dozen employees who worked on its AI projects, from executives to scientists to engineers, and even its AI chief, John Giannandrea, who announced this week he was stepping down from the role.

For me, it was the story of how one act of kindness can bring...lots of different people together, and I think that's a nice message,

I am a freelance writer who works from home. I like to make the most of my remote job by traveling, but I work from my desk for at least two weeks a month.

On this episode of The Vergecast, The Verge's Victoria Song and Allison Johnson join David to come up with a definitive ranking of Apple's best gadgets. ( We did this with Google's gadgets a few months ago, in case you missed it.) In this case, "best" is defined quite broadly: it includes a product's inherent quality, the quality of its competition, its cultural and economic relevance, the size of its target market, and many other things. Best is not an exact science.

It's been a long time since we've been this excited about Apple. Last year's Vision Pro is widely considered to be one of the company's biggest flops, and the 10th anniversary of the Apple Watch was marred by the fact that, for most of the year, the Apple Watch did not have blood oxygen sensing due to a patent infringement lawsuit. But this year, Apple is back, baby!

According to Counterpoint Research, Apple is projected to ship over 243 million iPhones in 2025, which would give it an estimated 19.4% share of the global smartphone market. Samsung, which is the current global leader, is expected to ship 235 million units, which would leave it with an 18.7% market share.
