  • Apple Class-Action Could Deliver Up to $2B to UK App Store Users
    October 25, 2025, 11:02 AM EDT. A UK Competition Appeals Tribunal ruling suggests Apple could owe up to $2 billion after a case over App Store fees affecting about 36 million iPhone and iPad users. The tribunal found Apple abused its dominant position by charging excessive commissions for iOS app distribution and in-app payments. Claimants argued consumers paid more for apps, subscriptions, and in-app purchases, while developers faced higher commissions. Apple said it would appeal the decision. Dr. Rachael Kent called it a landmark victory for App Store users. A hearing after 3 November 2025 will address costs, potential appeal, and how quantum is calculated. Apple notes the 30% commission applies to paid apps, 85% of apps pay no commission, and a program halves the rate for small businesses.

SpaceX capped a record year with its 135th orbital launch from Vandenberg Space Force Base, lifting off at 10:20 a.m. ET to place 28 Starlink satellites into LEO aboard a Falcon 9 booster.

  • Apple Watch Series 11 Review: Subtle Refresh with Longer Battery Life and Enhanced Durability
    October 25, 2025, 10:32 AM EDT. Apple's Watch Series 11 keeps the familiar silhouette of Series 10, but with meaningful midcycle upgrades. It introduces more recycled materials, including 5% recycled titanium, aligned with Apple's carbon-neutral goal for 2030. The Ion-X glass face, ceramic-coated for enhanced durability, becomes noticeably scratch-resistant while remaining light on the wrist.

Fast charging also shows tangible gains, helping you top up quickly. In short, the Series 11 is a subtle refresh that preserves the look while expanding endurance, durability, and daily usefulness-an appealing upgrade for existing users and a strong entry point for newcomers.
