| 0:00.0 | Welcome to 995 Mac Daily for a Friday, October 24th, 2025. |
| 0:07.4 | I'm your host, Chance Miller. |
| 0:09.5 | Leading off today, a landmark case in the UK around Apple's App Store practices has been decided, |
| 0:15.2 | and the ruling could see Apple pay more than $2 billion in damages. |
| 0:20.6 | A London court ruled that Apple abused its dominant position by charging app developers unfair commissions. |
| 0:26.8 | This was a class action lawsuit brought on behalf of millions of iPhone and iPad users in the UK. |
| 0:33.1 | The ruling determined that Apple shut out competition in the app distribution market and charged |
| 0:37.7 | excessive and unfair prices as commission to developers. The case has been valued at around |
| 0:43.3 | $2 billion by those who brought it, and a hearing next month will decide how damages are calculated |
| 0:48.9 | and Apple's application for appeal. Apple, of course, has already said it will appeal the ruling, which |
| 0:55.0 | it says takes a flawed view of the thriving and competitive app economy. That $2 billion is |

| 1:16.8 | but a $2 billion loss is one of the most significant that Apple has faced so far. |
| 1:22.4 | Next up today, it's a busy week for leaks around Apple's new A20 chip for next year's iPhone. |
| 1:28.8 | We talked yesterday about how the switch to A20 and the new two nanometer production process could lead to higher |
| 1:34.1 | prices for the iPhone 18 lineup. And now a new report has revealed what phone will get what |
| 1:39.5 | chip. This report says the A20 will come in two versions, a base model plain vanilla A20 and an A20 Pro. |
| 1:47.6 | The A20 is destined for the base model iPhone 18, while the A20 Pro is destined for the Pro, the Pro Max, and the new foldable. |
| 1:56.5 | The report doesn't make mention of an iPhone Air second generation, but if such a product |
| 2:01.7 | is released, it's almost a certain that we'll see it with the A20 Pro, since the current iPhone |
| 2:07.1 | Air uses the A19 Pro. |
