Meta’s renewed push into AI is throwing the entire market off-balance, and Apple is particularly exposed. With morale arguably at an all-time low inside Cupertino’s AI teams, Zuckerberg’s multimillion-dollar check-cutting spree may have already pulled at least one top researcher out of Apple Park. And there may be more to come.

Apple’s week is off to a rough start. First, Proton filed a class action lawsuit in the U.S. Almost simultaneously, a judge in New Jersey rejected Apple’s attempt to dismiss a federal antitrust case.

Apple is surveying Vision Pro owners, and some of the questions go beyond the device’s comfort or resolution.

MacWhisper has long been one of the best and easiest ways to transcribe anything on a Mac. I’ve relied on it heavily since it launched, and I can’t recommend it enough. Today, it got even better with an update that adds support for Nvidia’s insanely fast Parakeet model. And I mean fast.

It’s been a good week for Apple’s real estate team. Just days after finalizing a $166.9 million deal for the Cupertino Gate office complex, the company has closed another major acquisition, pushing its South Bay real estate tab to over half a billion dollars in a single week.
