Unsealed Apple Pay ruling explains Fintiv’s Texas retreat and weakens new Georgia case

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-11-17 11:55:04

A newly unsealed opinion shows why Apple had little patience for Fintiv’s long-running claims in Texas. As it turns out, after seven years of litigation, Fintiv still could not point to any evidence that Apple Pay or Apple Wallet ever used the kind of “widget” described in its patent. That finding explains the company’s abrupt retreat in Texas and bodes poorly for its latest attempt to profit off Apple Pay in Georgia.

In February 2023, a cosmic particle detector housed deep in the Mediterranean Sea recorded the arrival of a neutrino with approximately 20 to 30 times more energy than any other neutrino documented previously. Labelled KM3-230213A, the particle had a calculated energy of 220 petaelectronvolts (PeV), far greater than the 10 PeV of the previously most energetic neutrino. The finding generated a lot of excitement among physicists, but raised also many questions. Neutrinos are the most abundant par
