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.

Microsoft will hold its annual software developer conference on Tuesday, where the company is expected to showcase new tools for developers building AI software for PCs and the cloud. In a keynote address in San Francisco, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella is expected to outline how the technology company plans to compete both in the cloud, where it is both an investor and a rival to firms such as OpenAI, and increasingly on PCs.
