Questions answered

What prompted the 10 million euro fine for Apple in Italy and what does it mean for iPhone water resistance claims?
The fine was issued because regulators found Apple’s advertising misrepresented iPhone water resistance, asserting that the advertised depth and duration were based on lab tests that did not reflect real-world usage, and Apple reportedly did not honor water-damage warranties in some cases.
What antitrust developments were highlighted regarding Google and Facebook?
The video notes upcoming antitrust lawsuits in the U.S. that could involve both Google and Facebook, scrutinizing whether Facebook’s acquisitions of WhatsApp and Instagram restrained competition in violation of antitrust laws.
