US court denies Apple’s request to dismiss antitrust case concerning iCloud

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2026-03-18 15:18:20

A California district court on Monday denied a request by Apple to throw out a class action lawsuit that alleges the iPhone maker violates competition laws by forcing users of its devices to back up their critical files and device settings on its cloud storage service, iCloud. The complaint also accuses Apple of not allowing third-party cloud services to access certain files, and preventing them from offering a “full-service” storage that competes with iCloud.

Honda dips its toes in cargo delivery micromobility

techcrunch.com Tim De Chant 2026-03-18 15:30:00

Walk around a big city like New York or Amsterdam long enough and you’re bound to notice something: tiny four-wheeled cargo carriers zipping down bike lanes. These battery-assisted vehicles, often called e-quads, are distinct from cargo e-bikes, which tend to be geared toward households. E-quads are larger and sport enclosed cargo holds, making them a darling of delivery companies, including Amazon and UPS, allowing them to sidestep congestion that bogs down regular box trucks.

Borderlands 4 pre-orders open at $70, avoiding feared $80 price tag

techspot.com Rob Thubron 2026-03-18 23:19:00

What just happened? The situation around Borderlands 4's potential $80 price has seen outcry, outrage, and a very poorly-worded X post from CEO Randy Pitchford. But fear not: the game is now available for pre-order at $70 for the standard version. With more new games costing $80, there were fears that Borderlands 4 would follow this trend. But the game has landed on Steam ahead of its September 12 launch with a $70/£60/€70 price tag. That's for the standard edition. There's also a $100/£90/€10

When AIs bargain, a less advanced agent could cost you

technologyreview.com Caiwei Chen 2026-03-18 21:00:00

This study is part of a growing body of research warning about the risks of deploying AI agents in real-world financial decision-making. Earlier this month, a group of researchers from multiple universities argued that LLM agents should be evaluated primarily on the basis of their risk profiles, not just their peak performance. Current benchmarks, they say, emphasize accuracy and return-based metrics, which measure how well an agent can perform at its best but overlook how safely it can fail. Th

Puerto Rico’s power struggles

technologyreview.com Alexander C. Kaufman 2026-03-18 23:00:00

The plant, owned by the utility giant AES, has long plagued this part of Puerto Rico with air and water pollution. During Hurricane Maria in 2017, powerful winds and rain swept the unsecured pile—towering more than 12 stories high—out into the ocean and the surrounding area. Though the company had moved millions of tons of ash around Puerto Rico to be used in construction and landfill, much of it had stayed in Guayama, according to a 2018 investigation by the Centro de Periodismo Investigativo,
