Earnings for what may be Apple’s last quarter without massive tariffs, that saw releases of iPhone 16e, updated Macs, and new iPads will be announced on May 1, followed by a conference call.
Apple’s first quarter isn’t always the most exciting one for the company, as the holiday quarter is tough to follow. However, there may be a mild boost to some categories when compared year-over-year thanks to new product releases.
An Investor Relations post from Apple revealed that the earnings for fiscal quarter two would be shared on April. As always, the earnings call will follow shortly after where executives will discuss the earnings and answer analyst questions — and we’re expecting a huge amount of questions about how Apple will handle the tariff situation.

Google has patched 62 vulnerabilities in Android, including two zero-days that are actively being exploited in attacks, tracked as CVE-2024-53197 and CVE-2024-53150.
CVE-2024-53197 is a privilege escalation flaw found in the USB audio sub-component of the Linux Kernel. Local attackers are able to exploit the bug to access sensitive information on devices without any user interaction.
It does not yet have a CVSS rating, but according to researchers at Malwarebytes Labs, this was the link between two other vulnerabilities — CVE-2024-50302 and CVE-2024-53104 — which enabled law enforcement in Serbia to unlock a student activist’s device using Cellebrite forensic tools, before attempting to install spyware.

The never-ending talk of tariffs has people rushing to buy the best iPhone that they can afford now before it becomes significantly more expensive.
Apple’s stock prices continue to suffer, as President Trump’s ”Liberation Day” tariffs have caused concerns for analysts and casual iPhone users alike.
According to a Bloomberg report, published on Monday, Apple’s US retail locations are as busy as they usually are during holiday seasons. Employees are often asked questions about increases in iPhone pricing, but Apple has reportedly provided no instruction or guidance.

På tisdagskvällen vänder USA-börserna från den tidigare positiva utveckling som rått under dagen. Bakgrunden är det besked som lämnats av Vita huset om Kina. Vid midnatt börjar handelstullar på 104 procent att gälla för varor som importeras från landet till USA.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will receive a Nintendo Switch 2 Edition when the system launches June 5. But the open-world game might feature ”certain improvements such as faster load times” even for players who don’t pay for the enhanced upgrade. That’s because original Switch titles could get performance boosts without spending extra money on Switch 2.
Speaking with GameSpot, Takuhiro Dohta was asked whether it was possible to see a performance boost in Zelda: Breath of the Wild without upgrading to the Switch 2 Edition. ”First I’ll start with what happens when you play a game without applying the update, which is that, and this will depend heavily on how the original game was created and also how it was designed. But I think you can expect certain improvements such as faster load times, maybe improved frame rate. But again, it’ll depend on how that game was built,” explained Dohta, who’s the Switch 2 director and previously served as technical director on Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (another title with a Switch 2 Edition).

In 2018, I spent two days at Facebook’s Menlo Park campus doing back-to-back on-the-record interviews with executives who worked on the company’s content policy teams. This was after we had published article after article exposing the many shortcomings of Facebook’s rules, based on internal guidebooks that were leaked to Joseph. We learned, for example, that Facebook would sometimes bend its rules to comply with takedown requests from governments that were threatening to block the service in their country, that Facebook had drawn an impossible-to-define difference between “white supremacy,” “white nationalism,” and “white separatism” that didn’t stand up to any sort of scrutiny, and that it had incredibly detailed rules about when it was allowable to show a Photoshopped anus on the platform.
