The coming week will be the most important of this quarter’s earnings season — even if later weeks beat it on quantity, it will be nearly impossible to top this slate in terms of dollars and attention.

Apple will be the next major target in the United States’ latest crack down on Big Tech, IAC CEO Joey Levin predicted on CNBC on Friday. Levin said on “Squawk Box” that he believes “Apple’s next, and I think Apple is, in many senses, worse” than Google, which was sued this week by a group of state attorneys general. The AGs alleged that the Alphabet unit abused its power over app developers through its Play Store on Android. Apple has “forced companies into the system,” said Levin, whose… Source link

How much a stock’s price changes over time is a significant driver for most investors. Not only can price performance impact your portfolio, but it can help you compare investment results across sectors and industries as well. Another thing that can drive investing is the fear of missing out, or FOMO. This particularly applies to tech giants and popular consumer-facing stocks. What if you’d invested in Apple (AAPL) ten years ago? It may not have been easy to hold on to AAPL for all that time,… Source link

If you use an iPhone or Android phone, chances are the majority of your most-used apps were made by Apple and Google.

The results show that the majority of apps people use on their phones in the US come preinstalled by either Apple or Google. The first-of-its-kind report was commissioned by Facebook, one of… Source link

Before you leave your house in the morning, you probably check your pockets for three things: your phone, keys, and wallet. But if Apple’s (AAPL) plans for its smartwatch pan out, you might just need to make sure you have one thing on you: your Apple Watch. As part of the watchOS 8 software update, available as a public beta in the coming weeks, the Apple Watch will be able to present digital ID cards, which will eventually include licenses, and lock and unlock everything from your front… Source link

In debuting Windows 11 on Thursday, Microsoft revealed not only a new operating system, but also its sharpest attack yet on the business practices of rivals Google and Apple. Why it matters: Microsoft still holds the lion’s share of the personal computer market. However, it is now trailing in the broader, three-way battle to power all the devices we use to access the internet. The big picture: Alongside a significant visual revamp, Windows 11 brings a number of business changes that take… Source link

Northeast Baltimore’s Morgan State University received grants from Apple and Google totaling $6.25 million that aim to create equity in tech by building a STEM pipeline at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), the university announced last week. These initiatives from Apple and Google are designed to curb trends that have led to racial disparities on tech teams.

Since the dawn of the iPhone, many of the smarts in smartphones have come from elsewhere: the corporate computers known as the cloud. Mobile apps sent user data cloudward for useful tasks like transcribing speech or suggesting message replies. Now Apple and Google say smartphones are smart enough to do some crucial and sensitive machine learning tasks like those on their own. At Apple’s WWDC event this month, the company said its virtual assistant Siri will transcribe speech without… Source link

Online platforms underpinning the dominance of Apple and Google will come under scrutiny in the U.K. from a regulator with a record of securing changes from Big Tech.
