And not only with this Apple seems to have accepted that it will have to make significant changes to some of its software products due to the new EU Digital Markets Act. Apple has reportedly already made the appropriate changes to the Form K-10 document regarding risk factors for 2023.  [caption id="attachment_80882" align="aligncenter" width="600"] Apple[/caption] Apple will have to change literally the deepest rules of iOS. Apple indicates that future changes it will have to make due to the new EU law will affect how the company charges developers to access its platforms, how it manages app distribution outside of the App Store, and "how and to what extent this allows developers to communicate with consumers within the App Store regarding alternative purchasing mechanisms.”  That is, at a minimum, Apple is preparing to launch third-party application stores on iOS, as required by the EU, as well as third-party payment mechanisms.  Let us remind you that the new law may also affect the iMessage messenger. Moreover, Google has already entered the game here, teaming up with the largest European operators.  

The broadcast will start at 3:00 Moscow time This coming night, Apple will hold a presentation that goes under the slogan Scary fast, however, due to the time difference, it will begin not on October 30, as we previously reported, but on October 31 at 03:00 Moscow time.

It’s been a long time since two Apple smartphones were in the top 3 of the global DxOMark rating DxOMark specialists have published the results of the iPhone 15 Pro camera test. Just by the fact that the iPhone 15 Pro Max took the second place, one could think of at least the top 5, but the iPhone 15 Pro was located right behind its “big brother”, without losing a single point to it. [caption id="attachment_65097" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Apple[/caption] Apple created two of the three best camera phones in the world. The iPhone 15 Pro has the best results in shooting indoors and outdoors, but when shooting at night, things are not so smooth: noise appears. The disadvantages also included a slightly limited dynamic range in the photo, artifacts (various ones), and loss of detail in frames with optical zoom. [caption id="attachment_65098" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Apple[/caption] There are more advantages: an effective stabilization system when shooting video, accurate and fast autofocus, excellent detail when shooting in bright light, accurate reproduction of skin tones, etc.

Only the black version of the iPhone 13 mini is available The price of Apple's latest compact flagship, called the iPhone 13 mini, has dropped in Russia to 52,490 rubles. For that kind of money, Megafon offers the phone in a version with 128 GB of flash memory. Only the black version is available to buyers. At the time of the start of sales in Russia, the iPhone 13 mini cost about 70 thousand rubles; at the beginning of this year, the price dropped to about 50 thousand rubles, but after the fall of the ruble exchange rate, prices rose again. Apple no longer produces smartphones like this. [caption id="attachment_64391" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Apple[/caption] iPhone 13 mini became the latest Apple smartphone made in a compact format. There was no longer a mini model in the iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 lines, and Apple has no plans to return to the form factor, which turned out to be the most unpopular. The smartphone is equipped with a 5.4-inch OLED display with a frequency of 60 Hz, a dual camera with a resolution of 12 megapixels, a single-chip Apple A15 Bionic system, and IP68 protection. The disadvantage is the small battery.

It will cost Apple $2 billion a year Apple may reportedly become the exclusive owner of the rights to broadcast Formula 1 races.  [caption id="attachment_62121" align="aligncenter" width="780"] Apple[/caption] Apple wants exclusive rights to broadcast Formula 1 races If the deal is concluded, the broadcasts will only be available to watch on the Apple TV+ service, which will allow the company to attract completely new viewers.  The deal could cost Apple $2 billion a year. At the same time, even if the deal takes place, initially Apple will not have exclusive rights, since the rights of other companies have not yet expired. However, this will gradually happen, and Apple will ultimately remain the only source of broadcasts. This will happen, however, only in 2029. Apple itself is allegedly seeking to sign a seven-year contract. 

Looks like Google's money has won Apple could have bought the Bing search engine several years ago. Bloomberg reports that Apple and Microsoft were in talks on this matter back in 2020. [caption id="attachment_61699" align="alignnone" width="780"] Apple[/caption] Apple could have bought Bing a few years ago and was in talks with Microsoft If the deal were to go through, Bing would come under Apple's wing and become the default search engine on the iPhone and other company products. However, in the end, the deal did not take place. There is no exact data on the reasons, but there may be two main ones. First, Apple management believed that Bing could not compete with Google's search engine. Secondly, Google constantly pays Apple for the fact that its search engine remains a basic solution in Cupertino products. Revenues from this deal amount to billions of dollars a year, and the amounts are constantly growing. Buying Bing would end the deal with Google and lose that source of revenue.

The company has no other choice The company is laying off 830 employees, or about 16% of its workforce. The layoffs come amid Epic's ongoing legal battle with Apple, which began back in 2020. Just this week, Epic Games asked the Supreme Court to hear the case. Epic Games is trying to portray Apple as a monopoly and wants to be able to sell digital skins and other products to Apple customers without having to pay Apple a cut. As a result of the legal dispute, Fortnite has not been available in Apple's app stores for several years now, and those who want to play the game on an iPhone or iPad must look for alternative ways to do so, such as web platforms. [caption id="attachment_61083" align="alignnone" width="600"] Apple[/caption] This is what can happen if you sue Apple for a long time Epic CEO Tim Sweeney said in a memo sent to employees and posted on the company's website that the company is "spending far more money than it makes on Fortnite development" and other cost-cutting efforts have "proven to be far from financially sustainable." Sweeney says layoffs are the only way to stabilize the company's finances. Employees will be provided with severance pay that includes six months of base salary and six months of paid health care. As for the fight against Apple, Sweeney claims that Epic Games is taking steps to reduce legal costs, but will continue legal battles so that "the metaverse can thrive and empower Epic and all other developers."
