Apple dismisses Elon Musk’s claims that App Store favors OpenAI over other AI apps

techcrunch.com Dominic-Madori Davis 2025-11-29 22:13:46

In Brief Apple has rejected Elon Musk’s accusations that its App Store is biased against AI apps that compete with OpenAI. “We feature thousands of apps through charts, algorithmic recommendations and curated lists selected by experts using objective criteria,” the BBC quoted Apple as saying. The response comes after Musk threatened to sue Apple via xAI, claiming the iPhone maker was “behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store.

Should we get the option of a round Apple Watch and more? [Poll]

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-11-30 03:42:30

No, I get it: round watches are a very inefficient use of space, and there is likely a reason that the Apple Watch continues to dominate the market. But what a new piece argues for is not to replace the existing Apple Watch design, but instead to offer us a greater range of options … It’s not coincidence that Apple chose a rectangular display for the Apple Watch. This clearly offers the most efficient use of space, allowing some info-dense faces alongside simpler ones. If we ignore the frankl

The Apple Watch Series 11 Should Steal This One Galaxy Watch Feature

The Apple Watch needs to step up if it wants to keep pace with Samsung's new Galaxy Watches, and I'm hoping the Series 11 will be the one to do it. It's still one of our favorite smartwatches, but after a month with the Galaxy Watch 8, I'm finding it hard to go back to Siri. Google's Gemini AI -- which debuted on the Galaxy Watch and is now rolling out to other Android models -- is so genuinely helpful that it's spoiled every other voice assistant for me.
