Siri channels The Supremes to tease Sept. 14 event

Following what has become something of a tradition, Apple on Tuesday updated Siri’s backend to field questions about the company’s upcoming special event on Sept. 14, and as usual the answers are less than helpful. Tapping a 60s music theme introduced by today’s “California Dreaming” media invitation, Apple’s Siri now spits out a similarly inspired response when asked about next week’s special event. Posing the query, “What will Apple announce on Sept. 14?” will elicit the reply, “You can’t hurry news. No, you’ll just have to wait.” Siri’s answer is a take on the chorus from Motown classic “You

Apple’s plans for a future beyond iPhone sales are slowly beginning to take shape. At an event at its headquarters in California March 25, the company unveiled a range of new services intended to provide it with more stable, recurring revenue sources, including a credit card, a magazine subscription service called News+, a video-game subscription called Arcade, and original video programming debuting in the fall under the banner of Apple TV+.

India may be next in line to mandate changes to Apple’s in-app payment rules – TechCrunch

Summer is still technically in session, but a snowball is slowly developing in the world of apps, and specifically the world of in-app payments. A report in Reuters today says that the Competition Commission of India, the country’s monopoly regulator, will soon be looking at an antitrust suit filed against Apple over how it mandates that app developers use Apple’s own in-app payment system — thereby giving Apple a cut of those payments — when publishers charge users for subscriptions and other items in their apps. The suit, filed by an Indian nonprofit called “Together We Fight Society”, said in

A rumor Thursday claims Apple’s next-generation Apple Watch is incompatible with current bands, a potential problem for upgraders who invested in multiple Watch straps. While a larger chassis is expected to facilitate bigger screens and, potentially, more capacious batteries, the shift could make existing band and strap accessories obsolete, at least for upgraders. “Uncle Pan” believes “old” bands will fit the new models, but a new rumor from leaker Max Weinbach refutes the claim. “ I’ve heard from an Apple store employee that they’re not getting anymore 40/44mm bands in and expect the new

Announced in a post to the company’s blog, “Safety Mode” temporarily blocks accounts determined to be using harmful language or sending repetitive and uninvited replies. The system considers a tweet’s content and the relationship between an author and replier to assess the “likelihood of a negative engagement.” If the tweet or response is deemed to fall outside of Safety Mode’s parameters, the account responsible for the post will be blocked for seven days.

Apple is said to spend more than 3.5 million euros (about $4.1 million) on lobbying European Union institutions as it weathers a barrage of antitrust investigations into various parts of its business.
