These are the daily Tech Headlines for Thursday, May 8, 2025. I'm Rob Dunwood. Apple is seeking a partial stay on a recent court ruling requiring it to allow us iOS app developers to direct users to external payment methods to avoid Apple's commissions. This ruling found Apple non compliant with the 2021 order favoring EPIC games mandating Apple permit features for out of app purchases without commission and without scare screens. Apple specifically wants to pause the ban on charging fees for external purchase links and setting conditions on their language or placement, arguing this expands on the original injunction. Apple claims the new order will cause significant financial harm and punishes it for non compliance with an earlier injunction it deems invalid. Despite appealing, Apple has started allowing external payment links with Spotify and Amazon already implementing these changes, the Trump administration intends to revoke and revise a Biden era regulation that restricted the export of advanced AI chips. According to a Commerce Department spokesperson, the Biden rule aimed to limit China's access to sophisticated computing power and maintain USAI leadership through a tiered system of export restrictions. The Trump administration, however, views the existing rule as overly complex and bureaucratic, hindering American innovation and proving unforceable due to its tiered structure. The spokesperson indicated a simpler rule is being developed to promote USAI dominance, though a timeline for its release remains undetermined. While the Biden regulation was scheduled to take effect on May 15, the Ninth Circuit U.S. court of Appeals affirmed a lower court's decision that Microsoft's acquisition of Activism Blizzard did not breach antitrust regulations. Rejecting the Federal Trade Commission's efforts to block the $68.7 billion merger, the court found that the FTC did not sufficiently demonstrate that Microsoft would prevent access to popular games like Call of Duty rival gaming platforms, or that the deal would reduce competition in gaming subscription services and cloud streaming. Judge Daniel P. Collins noted the platform's exclusivity is common practice in the industry, and Microsoft's increasing availability of previously exclusive titles on other hardware suggests the FTC may ultimately accept the completed acquisition, which closed in October 2023 and has faced multiple challenges from the agency. Instacart CEO Fiji Simu is departing to become the CEO of applications at OpenAI. While already serving on OpenAI's board, CEMU will transition from Instacart over the coming months to fully join OpenAI later this year, reporting directly to CEO Sam Altman. Altman stated that CEMU will lead the group responsible for bringing OpenAI's research to the world and will also assist in scaling the company's operations. Prior to leading Instacart and taking it public in 2023, CMU spent over a decade at Meta in various leadership role. She will remain the chair of Instacart's board and her replacement as CEO will be announced soon. Alibaba has partnered with the content platform RedNote to create a direct shopping link between the two apps, formalizing their existing connection and allowing RedNote users to purchase directly from Alibaba's Taobao. The strategic move occurs amidst intense competition among China's e commerce giants who are battling for market share in a climate of weakened consumer confidence and are increasingly focused on the expanding instant retail sector, where Alibaba has been both bolstering its capabilities and facing strong competition from established players like Metuon and JD.com with significant investments being made to subsidize rapid delivery services, Amazon has recently introduced Enhance My Listing, a novel artificial intelligence tool designed to assist sellers in optimizing their product listings. Leveraging Amazon Bedrock, this feature autonomously generates titles, descriptions and supplementary details incorporating current popularity trends presently undergoing pilot testing with select US Sellers. Enhance My Listing expands upon Amazon's existing suite of AI powered listing assistance tools widely adopted by sellers. This development aligns Amazon with other prominent technology and e commerce enterprises in the integration of AI for the enhancement of seller capabilities. Reddit has introduced enhanced profile features for businesses utilizing Reddit Pro, a toolkit designed to aid brands in engaging with Reddit communities. These enhancements include AI generated profile bio suggestions based on a business's website, the ability to showcase community posts and comments on their profiles, and the option to cross post relevant conversations from the Reddit Pro Trends tab. According to Reddit, these tools aim to simplify presence building and enhance credibility for businesses, enriching communities with expert insights while fostering business growth. Google has released a dedicated iPad app for its Gemini AI Assistant, allowing it to run natively on Apple Hardware and utilize iPad's Split View feature. This launch follows the release of a native iPhone Gemini app in November and the introduction of Gemini programs for children and expanded deep research capabilities. As Google I O 2025 approaches, further announcements regarding Gemini's features and integrations are anticipated. This move signifies Google's continued efforts to expand the reach and accessibility of its AI assistant across different platforms and to a wider user base. And finally, Samsung is set to officially launch its Galaxy S25 Edge at a virtual Unpacked event on Monday, May 12 at 8pm confirming earlier teasers about the slim phone, the company explicitly stated the device's name in a blog post, highlighting its potential to revolutionize smartphone capabilities and stimulate growth in a slowing industry. Despite its thin design, the S25 Edge will boast a 200 megapixel main camera similar to the high end Galaxy S25 Ultra, positioning it as a premium device that combines flagship performance with exceptional portability, potentially differing from Apple's rumored Slim iPhone 17 Air, which might feature a single rear camera and a mix of specifications.
