Apple's lawsuit against OpenAI shows how important AI devices will be for the iPhone maker.
Apple hit an all-time stock high after it filed one of its most aggressive lawsuits in years, and the market barely flinched. That disconnect between price and risk is exactly what most investors are not pricing in right now.
Apple almost never sues, so when Tim Cook personally greenlit a complaint accusing OpenAI of stealing trade secrets and smuggling hardware prototypes out the door, Wall Street and Silicon Valley both took notice. The question now is whether the case disrupts OpenAI's IPO plans before a single share is priced.
‘The bad blood between Apple and OpenAI plays into Google’s hands,’ says Paul Meeks, head of technology research at Freedom Capital Markets.
Public dispute escalates as Apple sues OpenAI and Musk renews criticism while defending SpaceX's AI infrastructure plans.
The lawsuit, which accuses OpenAI of stealing Apple’s hardware and trade secrets, marks a dramatic turn for two companies that were close partners.
The two billionaires exchanged barbs on X over Apple's allegations that OpenAI is stealing operational secrets related to Apple's proprietary hardware.
The lawsuit alleges that two former Apple employees now working at OpenAI stole confidential data including information about unreleased hardware products and technical specifications.
Judges at the European Union's top court dismissed an appeal by Google over a landmark, 4.1 billion euro ($4.5 billion) antitrust fine imposed for throttling competition and reducing consumer choice through the dominance of its mobile Android operating system. The case has been tangled up in courts since the European Commission announced the fine in 2018. “The appeal brought by Google and its parent company Alphabet against the judgment of the General Court is dismissed, thereby confirming the penalty imposed for Google Search’s abuse of a dominant position in the context of the Android operating system,” the Luxembourg-based judges wrote in their ruling.
The U.S. Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to hear Apple's bid to escape being found in contempt in its legal fight with "Fortnite" maker Epic Games after the iPhone maker was deemed in violation of a judicial order mandating sweeping changes to its lucrative App Store in the antitrust litigation. The justices took up Apple's appeal of a lower court's ruling upholding a decision by Oakland, California-based U.S. District Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers finding Apple in contempt in Epic's 2020 lawsuit contesting App Store fees. The Supreme Court is expected to hear the case in its next term, which begins in October.

Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Apple Distribution International Ltd and Apple Italia Srl are facing an investigation by Italy’s Competition Authority over the interoperability of the company’s iOS and iPadOS operating systems with third-party consumer cloud services.
Italy's competition regulator said on Tuesday it had opened an investigation into Apple over compliance with interoperability obligations, under the European Digital Markets Act. Under the rules, Apple must ensure that third-party providers of consumer cloud services can inter-operate effectively and free of charge with hardware and software components controlled through the group's iOS and iPadOS operating systems, and have equal access as Apple's iCloud service.

Apple has agreed to submit the financials of its India business to the country's antitrust body as part of an investigation that found the U.S. firm abused its market position, taking the long-delayed case a step closer to a potential penalty decision, an agency order shows. The case is Apple's most high-profile regulatory headache in India, a key growth market where it has rapidly expanded iPhone production as it diversifies beyond China. A confidential Competition Commission of India (CCI) order, reviewed by Reuters, showed Apple last month agreed to supply its India financials - typically needed by the watchdog for penalty calculations.
Apple asked the U.S. Supreme Court on Thursday to review a lower court ruling that held the iPhone maker in civil contempt over fees it was charging on some outside purchases made by customers of its App Store. The petition to the Supreme Court escalates a years-long legal battle with “Fortnite” video game maker Epic Games, which sued Apple in 2020 seeking to loosen its control over transactions in applications that use the company's iOS operating system and its restrictions on how apps are distributed to consumers. A judge mostly dismissed Epic's lawsuit but issued an injunction in 2021 requiring Apple to let developers include links in their apps directing users to non-Apple payment methods.
