On September 24, Apple released a statement highlighting that, in the over one - year period since the enforcement of the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), there has been a marked deterioration in the experience of Apple users within the EU. Apple called upon EU regulatory bodies to conduct a thorough assessment of the act's impact on EU citizens who rely on Apple products on a daily basis.

Apple further asserted that the DMA places EU users at heightened risks when downloading apps and processing payments. Additionally, the act grants other companies the right to request user data, which could potentially result in the leakage of sensitive information. This situation is akin to opening a backdoor for data breaches, as it weakens the security barriers that users have come to expect from Apple's ecosystem. In the cultural context of the EU, where data privacy is highly valued, such concerns are likely to resonate strongly with the public.

In a light - hearted moment, he even gave Pikachu, the beloved Pokémon character, a warm hug. Additionally, he got hands - on experience with Bandai Namco's iOS game Dragon Ball Z: Dokkan Battle.

The Apple iPhone 17 series has officially gone on sale in the Chinese market, but consumers have not seen the iPhone Air model in Apple stores. According to comprehensive media reports and insights from telecommunications industry insiders, the iPhone Air will be sold in October as a contract phone in carrier business offices and may not offer a universal network version. This model adopts a pure eSIM design. To avoid confusion caused by consumers switching carriers while keeping their numbers, initial sales will restrict carriers and require package binding. The first-time activation of the eSIM must be completed in a business office. Changing numbers or going abroad will require unbinding and re-card writing, making the operations relatively cumbersome.
