Apple (NASDAQ:AAPL) – The European Court of Justice ruled against Apple in a tax case regarding benefits received in Ireland, potentially leading to the recovery of up to $14.4 billion in back taxes. This decision follows a long dispute beginning in 2014 with an EU investigation. Apple launched the iPhone 16 yesterday, featuring AI and Siri improvements, along with new camera and audio features.
