This week’s stories:

Apple’s upcoming budget laptop has PC makers ‘freaking out’

  • With Apple developing a low-cost laptop to rival Chromebooks and Windows laptops, the PC industry should definitely be worried.

Upgrading Siri with Google Gemini will be $1 billion quick fix

  • The brains behind the upcoming AI-enhanced version of Siri will reportedly be provided by Google, not Apple’s own tech. For a hefty price.

Next iPhone Air could fix its camera problem

  • Want an iPhone Air wide-angle camera? That could come in the second generation, partly addressing a big criticism of the slim handset.

How a battle for your dashboard threatens CarPlay’s future

  • Despite CarPlay's ongoing popularity, its future is under threat. Automakers can't resist the profit they see in providing their own services.
