Google loses appeal in antitrust battle with Fortnite maker
A federal appeals court has upheld a jury verdict condemning Google 's Android app store as an illegal monopoly, clearing the way for a federal judge to enforce a potentially disruptive shakeup that's designed to give consumers more choices. The unanimous ruling issued Thursday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals delivers a double-barreled legal blow for Google, which has been waylaid in three separate antitrust trials that resulted in different pillars of its internet empire being declared as domineering scofflaws monopolies since late 2023. The unsuccessful appeal represents a major victory for video game maker Epic Games, which launched a legal crusade targeting Google's Play Store for Android apps and Apple's iPhone app store nearly five years ago in an attempt to bypass exclusive payment processing systems that charged 15% to 30% commissions on in-app transactions. The jury's December 2023 rebuke of Google's app store for Android-powered smartphones began a cascade of setbacks that includes monopoly judgements against the company's ubiquitous search engine last year and the technology underlying its digital ad network earlier this year. Although not as lucrative as Google's search engine or ad system, the Play Store for Android apps has long been a gold mine that generated billions of dollars in annual revenue by taking a 15% to 30% cut from in-app transactions funneled through the company's own payment processing system. Following a month-long trial, a nine-person jury determined that Google had rigged its system to thwart alternative app stores from offering better deals to consumers and software developers. That verdict resulted in U.S. District Judge James Donato ordering Google to tear down digital walls shielding the Play Store from competition, triggering the company's appeal to overturn the jury's finding and void the judge's mandated shakeup. But a three-judge panel that heard Google's appeal in February rejected its lawyers' contention that Donato erred by allowing the case to be determined by a jury that deviated from the market definition outlined by another federal judge who mostly sided with Apple in Epic's case against the iPhone maker's app store. Epic's lawsuit "was replete with evidence that Google's anticompetitive conduct entrenched its dominance, causing the Play Store to benefit from network effects," the judges wrote in the decision. Unless Google can extend the enforcement delay placed on Donato's order issued last October, the company will have to begin an overhaul that includes making the Play Store's entire library of more than 2 million Android apps available to would-be rivals and also help distribute the alternative options. Google has argued that the required revisions will raise privacy and security risks by exposing consumers to scam artists and hackers masquerading as legitimate app stores. But Epic's lawyers have ridiculed Google's warnings about the changes as scare tactics in a desperate attempt to protect the fortunes of its corporate parent Alphabet Inc. Although Epic fell short in its attempt to have the iPhone's app store declared a monopoly, that case resulted in a judge issuing an order that required Apple to surrender exclusive control over the payment processing of in-app transactions and allow links to alternative systems without collecting a commission. Besides being hit with Donato's order, Google still faces further trouble ahead that could leave an even bigger dent in its finances. As part of the effort to address Google's illegal monopoly in search, a federal judge is weighing a proposal by the U.S. Justice Department that would require the sale of its Chrome web browser and ban the multibillion dollar deals that company has been making with Apple and others to lock-in its search engine as the main gateway to the internet. Google is also facing a proposed breakup of its advertising technology as part of the countermeasures to its monopoly in that business. A trial on that proposal is scheduled to begin in September.

Update your iPhone NOW: Apple releases iOS 18.6 with 29 urgent security fixes - here's how to download it on your device
They are some of the world's most popular smartphones. But if you have an iPhone, be sure to update it as soon as possible to avoid serious security issues. Apple has released the iOS 18.6 update, which includes 29 urgent security fixes. Cybersecurity experts warn that users should update 'as quickly as possible' to avoid exposing their sensitive data to hackers. According to Apple's support page, some may allow your iPhone to leak sensitive information to malicious web pages or allow apps to access your data. Josh Stein, VP of strategy, security at Jamf, says: 'The positive news from Apple is that none of these vulnerabilities have been exploited in the wild. 'However, this should not delay users from updating their devices to iOS 18.6. 'Keeping devices up to date with the latest patches is one of the most effective ways to safeguard against attackers.' All iPhone users have been urged to update their devices as soon as possible, as Apple releases iOS 18.6 with major security updates Apple is currently staying tight-lipped about the specific details of the security vulnerabilities in question. This is standard practice for security updates and is done so that people have time to update their devices before cybercriminals figure out how to exploit the issues. However, Apple says that many of the issues relate to the iPhone's WebKit, the set of tools that allows Safari to present web content. Mr Stein says: 'A significant number of fixes are in WebKit, which is not unusual for an iOS security release. 'The vulnerabilities fixed could allow attackers to access sensitive user information or cause denial of service.' One of the flaws, tracked as CVE-2025-4322, would allow an attacker to extract sensitive information through a fraudulent website. Another set of bugs affects Apple's CoreAudio and CoreMedia frameworks, which are what your iPhone uses to process audio and media data. These play a big role in a wide range of apps and are involved in managing memory, which means they can be a tempting target for cybercriminals. In addition to fixing these security issues, iOS 18.6 also fixes a glitch which sometimes means users are unable to share 'memory movies'. This is an AI-powered feature which allows users to choose a specific set of photos to be stitched together into a short film. However, there is no update on iOS 18's other persistent bugs, which include the Mail app freezing as well as issues with WiFi connectivity and unexpected battery drain. Additionally, Mr Stein points out issues with how the device handles network communications pose 'significant security risks.' Mr Stein adds: 'Given that this update is smaller and largely focused on security enhancements, we recommend users update as quickly as possible.' Alongside iOS 18.6, Apple has also released the iPadOS 17.7.9 security update for older iPads, which can't update to iPadOS 18. Apple has also released updates for its other devices, including Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV, and Apple Vision Pro. With the release of iOS 26 and the iPhone 17 currently expected in Autumn, this is probably going to be the last major update before then. That means it is especially important to update now, particularly if you don't plan on upgrading to iOS 26 immediately after it is released. The update is compatible with all iPhone models that can currently run iOS 18. That means all models from the iPhone XS onwards will be able to install iOS 18.6, including the second and third-generation iPhone SE. To install the update, open the Settings app on your iPhone. If you have automatic downloads enabled, the update will have been installed overnight, provided your iPhone was charging and connected to Wi-Fi. But, if that isn't the case, you should see a notification reading 'Software Update Available' from the Settings homepage. Tapping this notification will bring you to the Software Update page, where you can see any new updates as they are released. If iOS 18.6 is available, simply select 'Install Now' or, if the option reads 'Download and Install', tap it to download the update, enter your passcode, and then tap Install Now.
