Apple customers aren’t thrilled they’re getting an ad from the Apple Wallet app promoting the tech giant’s Original Film, “F1 the Movie.” Across social media, iPhone owners are complaining that their Wallet app sent out a push notification offering a $10 discount at Fandango for anyone buying two or more tickets to the film.

OpenAI vs. ioY: Key takeaways from the new legal filings

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-29 02:19:20

Yesterday evening, TechCrunch reported on a series of new legal filings made by OpenAI in the ioY trademark lawsuit that led to the scrubbing of the ‘io’ brand on OpenAI’s website. The documents, filed by OpenAI’s CEO Sam Altman as well as ex-Apple employees Evans Hankey, Tang Tan, and Marwan Rammah (now all at io Products), reveal as much about the company’s ambitions as they do about what it hopes to keep under wraps.

Apple Kicks Off Early Prime Day: Wi-Fi Only iPad 2025 Hits a New All-Time Low Price

gizmodo.com Gizmodo Deals 2025-09-29 04:11:04

Apple is known for rarely offering major discounts, especially on its latest products. Unlike many other brands that jump at every major sales event like Prime Day, Apple often stands on the sidelines, and lets its premium reputation and loyal customer base do the talking. Thus, whenever Apple items, and especially those released within the current year, are discounted, it is always a surprise (and a treat).
