Apple in court in Great Britain
According to the latest reports, it looks like all sorts of lawsuits are starting to come against Apple from all over again. One of the most recent was filed in Great Britain, and it concerns Apple not allowing the placement of applications for so-called cloud gaming in its App Store. Another problem is the requirements that Apple places on mobile web browser developers as part of the placement in the App Store. At first glance, it might seem that practically any mobile web browser can find itself in the App Store. But the mentioned lawsuit says that only those browsers that use the WebKit tool are de facto allowed. However, both this condition and the ban on the placement of applications for cloud gaming are contrary to antitrust regulations, and Apple thus puts itself in an indisputably more advantageous situation. At this point, an investigation by the UK's antitrust authority, the CMA, should be launched in order to gather sufficient evidence.

The situation in the factories is complicated by both the repeated occurrence of coronavirus infections and the current demands associated with the approaching Christmas holidays.

Conditions in the factories are still not improving, rather the opposite, and at the moment there are interruptions in production due to employee protests. According to the latest news, although Foxconn has apologized to the striking workers, the improvement of working conditions is still in the stars.
