The DOJ alleges that Live Nation holds a monopoly over the ticketing industry. | Image: The Verge / Kenishirotie (via Getty) The US Justice Department and 30 state and district attorneys general have filed an antitrust lawsuit against Ticketmaster and its parent company, Live Nation Entertainment, alleging that it has a monopoly in the live ticketing industry that enables it to illegally suppress competition. “It is time to break up Live Nation-Ticketmaster,” US Attorney General Merrick Garland said in a statement announcing the lawsuit. The DOJ alleges that Live Nation’s dominance — which spans ticket sales, promotion, artist management, and venue ownership — has given the company unfair commercial advantages over rivals. In particular, its alleged ticketing monopoly has reduced consumer choice, resulting in higher prices, according to the government. Live... Continue reading…

Illustration: The Verge In yet another major shift, X, the social platform previously known as Twitter, is taking away the ability to see what posts other users have liked. It’s a change the company’s director of engineering, Haofei Wang, says is meant to protect users’ public image — because “many people feel discouraged” to like “edgy” content. MacRumors first reported that the change is coming after a flag was discovered in the iOS app that removes the Likes tab on all user profiles. “Soon you’ll be able to like without worrying who might see it,” Wang says. It wasn’t initially clear if this would affect seeing who liked your own posts, but X senior software engineer Enrique Barragan chimed in to clarify: - you will be able to see who liked your posts- you...

A Samsung phone, opened up to suggest repair. | Image: Samsung iFixit and Samsung are parting ways. Two years after they teamed up on one of the first direct-to-consumer phone repair programs, iFixit CEO and co-founder Kyle Wiens tells The Verge the two companies have failed to renegotiate a contract — and says Samsung is to blame. “Samsung does not seem interested in enabling repair at scale,” Wiens tells me, even though similar deals are going well with Google, Motorola, and HMD. He believes dropping Samsung shouldn’t actually affect iFixit customers all that much. Instead of being Samsung's partner on genuine parts and approved repair manuals, iFixit will simply go it alone, the same way it's always done with Apple's iPhones. While Wiens wouldn’t say who technically broke up with whom, he says... Continue reading…

Top insider Ming-Chi Kuo predicts a foldable MacBook might launch in 2026 as Apple ramps up this project's development. While this device was previously rumored to be announced in 2027, it seems Cupertino is going all-in with foldable products. More specifically, Apple targets mass production for the panel and assembly in 4Q25 and 1H26. According to the analyst, LG Display will manufacture the exclusive 20.25-inch panel. In addition, Apple is considering a smaller model with an 18.8-inch display. Kuo says that this device, in its folded form factor, would correspond to the design of 14-15" and 13-14" laptops, respectively. To differentiate from competitors, Apple is working on a panel as crease-free as possible. With that, the analyst believes the cost of this display and hinge could be very high. "Current preliminary estimates put the panel and hinge costs at around $600–650 and $200–250, respectively. If production yields improve significantly by the time of mass production, these costs could decrease," notes Kuo. The analyst reiterates that this device will likely be expensive but unlikely Apple Vision Pro, which didn't sell as much as Apple predicted; he believes this foldable MacBook could be a success, with shipments estimated to exceed one million units in 2026. Kuo says Apple might be planning the M5 chip for this foldable MacBook. Current reports expect Apple to focus on the M4 family until mid/late 2025 when an M4 Ultra processor will be released for a Mac Studio and Mac Pro. With that in mind, this foldable MacBook leak makes sense, as Apple would be in the middle of the M5 family cycle by early/mid-2026. However, little is known about the M5 processor as Apple only unveiled the base-model M4 chip, and no M3 Ultra processor is expected. Still, we expect this chip to focus heavily on AI applications. BGR will continue to follow the latest details on this foldable MacBook and other foldable devices, such as iPhones. BGR's Chris Smith notes that the Galaxy Z Fold 6 might pave the way for a breakthrough foldable iPhone, while we have also covered an auto-healing display patent that could be used on a future device.

Texting is probably my top means of communication during daytime hours. I talk to family, friends, and coworkers mainly by text. It's not just iMessage on the iPhone, but also a plethora of chat apps that serve the same purpose across my devices. Messaging has been my primary form of communication for years, even before the iPhone reshaped the mobile industry. And as much as I want to reduce my screen time, I don't see things changing anytime soon. However, there is an inevitable shift to AI happening right now. After the recent ChatGPT and Gemini upgrades, I'm more convinced than ever that I'll be texting and talking to AI more than humans. It's not just me. It'll happen to most people who work on computers all day long. It won't happen overnight, but the shift is coming. Also, it'll happen naturally and won't feel forced in any way. It's not because we're about to mistake AI for human connections or get ourselves an AI-powered significant other like in the movie Her. We'll talk to AI more because it'll help us get things done faster. Continue reading... The post Goodbye, humans: I’ll talk to ChatGPT more than people pretty soon appeared first on BGR.
