Apple loses top phonemaker spot to Samsung as iPhone shipments drop, research company says

nbcnews.com/business/business-news/apple-loses-top-phonemaker-spot-samsung-iphone-shipments-drop-research-rcna147828

Quick Glance: iPhone sales plummet. Here's why

Apple’s smartphone sales dropped by 10% last quarter, primarily due to a sharp decline in sales in China.

Samsung had been the top smartphone manufacturer for 12 years, but Apple briefly took the top spot last year.

The global smartphone market is showing signs of recovery with a 7.8% increase in smartphone shipments in the first quarter of 2024.

Despite expectations for Apple and Samsung to maintain their market dominance, the rise of Huawei and other Chinese manufacturers like Xiaomi and OPPO/OnePlus may continue.

Quick Glance: Brave Launches Leo AI Assistant on iOS Devices

Brave announced the launch of its AI assistant, Leo, for iPhone and iPad users. Leo allows users to ask questions, summarize pages, create content, and more.

The iOS launch of Leo introduces voice-to-text capability, not available in the Android version. Users can speak out loud and have it converted to text, simplifying interactions with the AI.

In addition to summarizing pages or videos, Leo can answer questions, generate reports, translate or rewrite pages, create transcriptions, and write code. Brave hopes users will prefer Leo over other similar services.

Leo includes access to Mixtral 8x7B, Anthropic’s Claude Instant, and Meta’s Llama 2 13B. Brave offers Leo Premium for higher rate limits at $14.99 per month. Opera also launched an AI assistant called Aria last year.

Quick Glance: Game Boy Emulator Released for iPhone, Allows Downloading ROMs from the Web and Playing

After Apple relaxed its App Store policy to allow the publishing of retro game emulators in its marketplace, iGBA, a free Game Boy emulator, becomes the first emulator available for iPhone and iPad on the App Store.

The developer of the iGBA Game Boy emulator is leveraging this rule change to provide users with the ability to download and enjoy game ROMs. The emulator is built upon a well-known open-source platform but comes with integrated advertisements.

iGBA effectively fulfills its purpose by providing seamless emulation of Game Boy games. Users can access Game Boy Advance or Game Boy Color games from various sources and load them into iGBA for gameplay. It offers a comprehensive set of features such as save states, customization of the virtual controller, haptic feedback settings, and support for AirPlay.

With the official availability of the iGBA emulator, which facilitates the loading and playing of downloaded ROMs, the potential release of the PPSSPP emulator on the App Store may be imminent. To access the iGBA emulator, simply follow the provided link to download it from the App Store.

Alternative App Stores coming soon to iPhones in the EU: Move over Apple's official App Store: Here's what EU users can come to expect.

Quick Glance: Revolutionizing iPhones in the EU with New App Platforms

The introduction of alternative app platforms on the iPhone in the EU is expected to start with AltStore.

The DMA is now in effect in the EU, requiring Big Tech to comply with this new regulation to promote competition on their platforms.

AltStore is likely to be the first alternative marketplace on the iPhone to be approved by Apple.

Apple has introduced a new 'Core Technology Fee' for developers looking to distribute via alternative marketplaces, which is under investigation by the EU.
