This isn’t the first time we’re hearing about third-party integrations, as Apple software SVP Craig Federighi said last year that the company “may look forward to doing integrations with different models like Google Gemini in the future.”Cook also said that Apple is on track to release an AI-upgraded Siri next year, adding that “our intention is to integrate with more people over time.” Apple is “making good progress” on Siri, he added during an earnings call on Thursday, noting that AI acquisitions are still on the table. “We are open to pursuing M&A [mergers and acquisitions] if we think that…

And it’s not really the Disney+ library yet as the entertainment giant is beginning the roll out with 1,000 titles that are part of the Hulu content…

Earlier this year, Apple sued leaker Jon Prosser alongside Michael Ramacciotti, alleging the two had a “coordinated scheme to break into an Apple development iPhone, steal Apple’s trade secrets, and profit from the theft.” However, in a new filing, Ramacciotti “denies that he planned or participated in any conspiracy or coordinated scheme” with Prosser” and that, to the best of his recollection, any payment he received from Prosser “was paid after the fact and was not agreed to in advance of the actions and communications.”Apple’s lawsuit accused Ramacciotti of accessing the development iPhone of former Apple employee Ethan Lipnik after…

Serif’s Affinity suite was already an audacious land-grab. It challenged Adobe’s increasingly spendy Creative Cloud subscription by making pro-grade photo editing and design tools more accessible through affordable and old-school pay-once pricing. The suite started on desktop and later headed to iPad. Those weren’t watered down versions either, but effectively the originals, optimised for touch. All was good for a while. But fans got twitchy last year when Serif was snapped up by Canva, a company rather fond of subscriptions itself. Such concern escalated to full-blown panic this October when Affinity desktop apps vanished from sale, replaced by the cryptic slogan “Creative…
