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. The new iPhone 16 faced criticism in
China for its lack of AI features, especially amid increasing
competition from Huawei. Apple currently lacks an AI partner in
China, with its software available in Chinese only next year,
sparking dissatisfaction on social media. However, analysts believe
short-term sales will remain steady due to customer loyalty. On
Tuesday, Huawei launched its tri-fold Mate XT smartphone in
response to Apple’s iPhone 16. AI features for the iPhone 16 will
be gradually introduced, while Huawei already saw high demand for
its new model. Apple’s shares dropped 1.2% in pre-market trading
