Amazon to be working on a foldable-screen laptop of its own
Yesterday, Huawei unveiled the MateBook Fold Ultimate, which is a laptop with a folding screen. When unfolded, you get 18" of real estate, whereas when folded it has the same footprint as a 13" laptop.
Today, Amazon is rumored to be working on a very similar device of its own. The information comes from Ming-Chi Kuo, a goldmine of supply chain information who usually focuses on Apple. Speaking of which, it's not coincidental that he's talking about this form factor, as Apple itself has been rumored to be working on a similar device too. Huawei MateBook Fold Ultimate
Apple's laptop with a folding screen is now expected to enter mass production in late 2027 or 2028, but Amazon will be quicker it seems, with its interpretation projected to enter mass production in late 2026 or 2027.
There are no other details right now, but it will be interesting to see what OS Amazon will go with - will it be Windows or Fire OS? Likewise for Apple - macOS or iPadOS? We've still got a long time to wait to see any of these products in person, so undoubtedly we'll be hearing more about them over the coming months and years.

Apple appeals EU's Digital Markets Act on privacy basis
Following the Digital Markets Act, Apple argues against the EU's interoperability requirements, citing privacy concerns for its EU users. Apple faces a $570 million fine as it's yet to comply with the new regulation, but in its official appeal the company says the act might be exploited by other firms and expose sensitive user data. Aside from the usual claims that the EU's regulations create an "unreasonably costly" process that "stifles innovation," Apple claims that data-hungry companies are requesting sensitive user information, which Apple should give up as per the EU's DMA. For instance, third-party companies are looking for notification content, full history of every Wi-Fi network stored on the device and even personal data that Apple doesn't have. Moreover, Apple points to Meta as the company that requested the most information from Apple, and that information was often unrelated to Meta's core services. If the appeal fails, Apple will be forced to pay the $570 million fine. The company says it's having difficulties discussing the matter with the EU, and the EU isn't responding to the feedback. Via
