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.

October 25, 2025, 10:44 AM EDT. Tesla Energy hints at a Solar Roof revival as it begins production of a residential solar panel in Buffalo, NY, with shipments to customers in Q1 2026. The update also shows strong demand for Megapack and Powerwall and introduces Megablock, shipping from Houston in 2026. Executives cite rising interest in AI/data-center applications and a surge in US residential solar driven by policy incentives and a new solar lease. While the Solar Roof struggled since its 2016 debut, Tesla stresses US manufacturing and industry-leading aesthetics as it hints at broader deployment, countering past reports of only ~3,000 installations.

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. The mission marked the year's milestone, with every orbital flight this year completed by Falcon 9. The first stage, booster 1081, returned to a Pacific drone ship, 'Of Course I Still Love You', about 8.5 minutes after liftoff. The upper stage will deploy the satellites roughly an hour later. Earlier this week SpaceX logged the 139th liftoff of the year with Spainsat NG-2, as the company pushes Starship tests this year.

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. A major plus is battery life, boosted to about 24 hours with sleep tracking, thanks to better efficiency and charging improvements. 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.
