Brazil’s antitrust watchdog says Apple must face penalties over NFC restrictions

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-10-09 22:04:39

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. And on Monday night, things got a little worse: CADE, Brazil’s antitrust watchdog, formally recommended that Apple be sanctioned for restricting access to the iPhone’s NFC chip and forcing developers to use Apple Pay. In its ruling, CADE’s General Superintendence said Apple’s behavior creates “art

A new market intelligence report lists the eight reasons people opt to upgrade Mac or PC, divided into three categories. It also reveals that Mac shipments grew faster than any PC brand in the first quarter of the year, with year–on–year growth of almost 29% … Canalys measures shipments rather than sales. These are often closely related, but there are a number of ways in which they may differ. In this case, the market intelligence firm says that concerns about tariffs have led resellers to im

Addigy’s Prebuilt App Catalog is built to simplify managing macOS apps at scale

9to5mac.com Bradley C 2025-10-09 23:00:00

Most enterprise apps used on macOS don’t come from the Mac App Store, so IT teams are stuck managing them manually. That includes tracking down the latest versions, packaging them up for deployment, setting up the required permissions, and making sure they’re installed and updated properly across every device. It’s a tedious process that doesn’t scale well, and it introduces security risk when apps fall behind on security updates. Addigy aims to solve this by adding a new Prebuilt App Catalog, w
