  • The law allows local authorities to name “designated providers” of a certain scale – currently only achieved by Apple and Google – and require those providers to do three things:

    • Allow third-party app stores on their devices;
    • Allow application developers to use third-party billing services;
    • Enable users to change default settings with simple procedures, and offer choice screens for tools like browsers;

    And it forbids them doing three more:

    • Engage in any form of preferential treatment of their services over those of competitors in the display of search results without justifiable reason;
    • Use acquired data about competing applications for their own applications;
    • Prevent application developers from using features controlled by the OS with the same level of performance as the one used by Designated Providers.

    This… this is amazing

    Here’s a revised summary without favoring any specific AI model:

    Bloomberg reports Apple is in discussions with Google to license a generative AI model for potential use in iPhones with iOS 18. This could bring advanced AI functionalities to iPhones, though the specific applications remain unclear. The talks suggest a possible collaboration between Apple and Google in the field of AI for smartphones, which could be significant considering their usual competitive nature.
