Apple’s 3rd-party app store announcements guarantee the company will end up in court
Apple is allowing a 3rd-party app store on iPhones instead of sideloading to comply with EU DMA laws
But, Apple requires that anyone wanting to make its own App Store on iOS must provide a 1 Million Euro ($1.09 Million) letter of credit
So, FOSS App stores are NOT allowed on iOS since they do not have a Million-Euro business
But remember that Apple is a greedy company!
Thus, Apple is even asking €0.50 (55c) per app install annual fee from app developers of 3rd-party app stores if their app crosses 1 Million downloads
This means that for 8M app installs, developers need to pay $310k monthly OR $3.7 MILLION per year as a FEE to Apple
So if you offer a free app that goes viral, you could be filing for bankruptcy rather than celebrating.
EU has warned Apple that if 3rd-party companies do NOT like the proposal, EU will take an action

EU will force companies to offer 12-month guarantee on product repairs
Source
There is already 2yrs warranty available on devices sold in the EU
The European Council and Parliament have reached a provisional deal on specific right-to-repair legislation.
The legislation will force sellers to offer an additional 12-month guarantee after a product is repaired under warranty.
Also, manufacturers will need to provide details regarding spare parts on their website, while also making these parts available to all repair sector parties at a “reasonable” price.
The agreement also forces manufacturers to make repairs within a reasonable time and for a reasonable price (if the repair wasn’t free)
The EU would also bar manufacturers from preventing the use of second-hand or 3D-printed spare parts by independent repairers.
Finally, the EU plans to offer an online repair platform that would list the different repair services in the EU

Honkai Star Rail adds Vulkan support for Exynos 2400 series
Source
MiHoYo (creator of Genshin Impact) has added Vulkan support for the Exynos 2400 series in one of its most popular games — Honkai Star Rail
Galaxy S24 Ultra and S23 Ultra powered by Snapdragon chips still runs OpenGL by default
Exynos 2100 is still OpenGL "by default" because the Arm Mali-G78 on Exynos 2100 only supports Vulkan 1.1 and 1.2.
Samsung Xclipse 940 GPU on Exynos 2400 supports Vulkan 1.3 series since their respective GPU driver based on ANGLE library is made with Vulkan 1.3.231.
Next: Genshin Impact Vulkan support bydefault ?

Which one could be the REAL Nothing Phone 2a design?
Onleaks Renders showcased a new Phone 2a design with a missing glyph interface
Some people also noted that this render was present in an official video from Nothing in 2022, before Nothing Phone (1)'s launch, thus could be the real design
However, some leakers still go with the fact that the previous Phone 2a renders with the horizontal camera & glyph interface is the real one
Evan Blass also notes that the teaser tagline for Phone 2a, "See the world through fresh eyes," lines up more closely with the old Phone 2a renders
Which one do you think is the real one?
