Apple has agreed to pay some iPhone buyers a collective $250m (£184m) to end a lawsuit accusing the company of misleading people about new artificial intelligence (AI) features and capabilities. In a settlement filed Tuesday in California federal court, Apple did not admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to a deal that will resolve claims in a large consolidated class action lawsuit filed last year. It accused Apple of false advertising around its AI features on the iPhone, which the company called Apple Intelligence, including an enhancement of its Siri voice assistant. Apple will pay between $25 and $95 to people who bought an iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 between June 2024 and March 2025. An Apple spokeswoman said the lawsuit was focused on the availability of two additional features in a lineup of many released as part of its Apple Intelligence rollout.

In 1990, three former Apple employees launched a company that epitomized the Silicon Valley dream. What they invented looked like an iPhone--more than a decade earlier. The device never came to be. Imagine a tech company so visionary that it can take an public. A "concept IPO," they called it. Picture the three founders, all former Apple employees, two of whom--software engineers Andy Hertzfeld and Bill Atkinson--were already Silicon Valley legends for their work creating the Apple Macintosh. Atkinson's prolific inventions included the double click and the drop down menu.

Apple CEO Tim Cook told analysts that AI adoption has happened faster than expected. Apple CEO Tim Cook said on the company's earnings call on Thursday that it could take "several months" to meet skyrocketing demand for the Mac Mini, the company's compact but mighty, screen-free desktop computer. Cook's remarks come after coders determined in recent months that the Mac Mini was the perfect machine for agentic AI tasks. "On the Mac Mini and Mac Studio, both of these are amazing platforms for AI and agentic tools," Cook said on the earnings call, in response to analyst questions. "And customer adoption of that is happening faster than we expected." The news comes amid another record-setting quarter for the company.

After 15 years in the top spot, the CEO will make way for John Ternus, the current head of hardware engineering, who has been at the company for 25 years.

John Ternus ascends the throne - but Cook will stay on to manage tech giant's foreign policy as executive chair Tim Cook becomes Apple's elder statesman Apple announced late on Monday that Tim Cook will step down as CEO but will not leave the iPhone maker. Head of hardware engineering John Ternus will succeed him on 1 September. "I love Apple with all of my being," Cook said in a press release announcing his succession. Cook, 65, who succeeded Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, has been CEO since 2011. With a reputation for operational and supply chain management, he has overseen the global expansion of the company and its steady series of new, updated devices, though he never attained the same visionary status as Jobs.

After 15 years, Tim Cook is stepping down as Apple's top executive. At age 65, he leaves behind a hardware juggernaut that, under his leadership, brought about a global smartphone revolution and transformed Apple into one of the most profitable publicly traded companies in history. With a reputation for logistical management, Cook first joined Apple in 1998, overseeing its worldwide sales and operations. In 2009, he temporarily began running day-to-day operations when the company's legendary co-founder, Steve Jobs, took medical leave due to complications from pancreatic cancer. In 2011, just a few months before Jobs's death, Cook took over as CEO.

After months of anticipation, Apple has finally unveiled its next major iPhone update - iOS 26. The design overhaul, announced at Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC), brings translucent, glass-like effects to app icons, the lock screen, and home screen. Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of Software Engineering, described this so-called'Liquid Glass Design' as'gorgeous'. However, it hasn't gone down well on social media, where users have dubbed the glass-like elements as ugly and difficult to use. 'Liquid Glass Design is the ugliest thing Apple has ever done!' one user vented.

He is best known for being CEO of one of the world's largest companies. But before Tim Cook took the reins at Apple, he started his career in a very surprising place. Speaking on the Table Manners podcast, Mr Cook revealed that he started working when he was just 11 years old. He says: 'A lot of [his upbringing] was centred on work and the belief that hard work was essential for everybody, regardless of your age. 'And so I started working when I was probably 11 or 12 on the paper route.'
