Apple Seeks Lawsuit Dismissal

/in /tarafından

Apple has asked a U.S. court to dismiss a proposed shareholder lawsuit alleging misleading statements related to Siri’s artificial intelligence development and compliance with app marketplace rules.

The case claims that Apple overstated the readiness of certain AI features and misrepresented its adherence to a prior legal requirement involving payment options for developers.

Apple argued there is no evidence it knowingly misled investors regarding the timeline for integrating new capabilities into its voice assistant. The company noted that development delays are a common part of advancing complex technologies.

It also stated that its compliance procedures were not presented as flawless guarantees.

The lawsuit relates to stock performance during a period when the company faced broader market pressures and evolving regulatory expectations.

The proceedings continue to reflect the growing scrutiny surrounding technology development claims and platform governance.

iPhone Air Owner Reports C1X Modem Malfunction, Says Mobile Diagnostics Indicates Possible Hardware Fault

iPhone 18 Pro tasarımında iki büyük yenilik! - Hardware Plus - HWP

The iPhone Air was introduced last year by the Cupertino-based tech giant alongside the iPhone 17 lineup. Marketed as the thinnest iPhone ever, the device quickly gained attention for its ultra-slim design and premium hardware. It runs on Apple’s flagship A19 Pro chipset, the same processor found in the iPhone 17 Pro models, positioning it as a high-performance smartphone despite its sleek form factor.

One of the most notable upgrades in the iPhone Air was the debut of Apple’s proprietary C1X modem. According to the company, this next-generation network chip delivers faster speeds and improved power efficiency compared to the C1 modem used in the previous iPhone 16e. The integration of Apple’s in-house modem technology marked a significant shift away from third-party suppliers, highlighting the company’s push toward tighter hardware-software integration.

However, a recent post on the r/iPhone subreddit (via Wccftech) suggests that things may not be perfect. Reddit user u/itstheskylion reported that their iPhone Air suddenly showed “no cellular network”, claiming that the C1X modem had “died suddenly.” After running the built-in Mobile Diagnostics tool, the device reportedly detected a potential hardware issue, prompting the user to inspect the phone’s internal components. Notably, the device was running the latest iOS 26.3 update at the time of the incident.

The user further explained that the phone had been kept in a protective case since purchase and showed no physical damage. They were also using two eSIMs from different telecom providers, yet neither connection worked after the modem failure. Attempts at soft resetting and restarting the device did not resolve the issue. It remains unclear whether the affected unit is covered under AppleCare+ or Apple’s standard one-year warranty, leaving questions about whether the reported hardware malfunction will qualify for a free repair or replacement.

iPhone 18 Pro: Apple's C2 Modem to Support 5G Satellite Connectivity - MacRumors

The upcoming iPhone 18 Pro is tipped to introduce a major leap in connectivity, as Apple’s next-generation C2 modem could bring full-fledged 5G satellite support to the device. According to recent leaks, the Cupertino-based tech giant may integrate NR-NTN (New Radio Non-Terrestrial Networks) technology, enabling future iPhones to connect directly to low-Earth orbit (LEO) satellites. If true, this would significantly expand Apple’s satellite capabilities beyond the current emergency-focused features.

At present, Apple’s satellite functionality is largely limited to Emergency SOS and basic messaging in areas without cellular coverage. However, the rumored NR-NTN support could allow users to access broader satellite-based internet connectivity, even in remote or underserved regions. This would mark a substantial shift from limited emergency use to more versatile, everyday communication and data access scenarios.

According to a leak shared on Weibo by tipster Fixed Focus Digital, Apple’s C2 baseband may support both direct-to-satellite communication and satellite-backed carrier expansion. In practical terms, this means iPhones could either connect directly to orbiting satellites or rely on satellites as a network backhaul solution to extend traditional carrier coverage into hard-to-reach locations. Such integration could dramatically improve connectivity reliability during travel, outdoor activities, or natural disasters.

Industry observers believe 2026 could become a turning point for satellite-enabled smartphones, with Apple potentially leading the mainstream push. As more brands explore satellite internet integration, the iPhone 18 Pro’s rumored capabilities may signal the beginning of a broader shift toward hybrid terrestrial and space-based mobile networks, redefining how smartphones stay connected worldwide.
