AppleCare has been revamped to be better, cheaper, and possibly more complicated, while Apple Intelligence is not doomed, and the iPhone Fold display could be in a legal battle.
It’s not very likely that the iPhone Fold could be banned, and Apple has plenty of options to get around the problem if it were. But it was a surprise that Apple would drop its own folding screen design in favor of a Samsung Display one — and Samsung Display is now being sued by China’s BOE.
Speaking of complex legal cases that have now started and may run for years, this week Apple filed suit against Jon Prosser over leaks to do with iOS 26. Apple has lost it tried to use legal means to uncover leakers in the past, but it looks like it now believes it has a strong case.
At some point, Apple is also surely going to have a good case that its Apple Intelligence is the best, or the most reliable, or the least-worst of the AI services. But moves this week to resume its dramatically wrong news summarizing are not as encouraging as they might be.
