Illustration by Nick Barclay / The Verge Meta must face the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust lawsuit that accuses the company of dominating the social media industry through its acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, a DC District Court Judge ruled on Wednesday. The FTC filed a lawsuit against Meta in 2020, alleging the company bought up rivals — Instagram and WhatsApp — in an attempt to stifle competition. Judge James Boasberg initially dismissed the FTC’s lawsuit in 2021, but the agency filed an amended complaint, which he ultimately let proceed. Meta once again asked the court to dismiss the FTC’s case in April. Boasberg has now ruled largely in favor of the FTC, though he dismissed a claim that Meta acted anticompetitively by preventing developers from accessing its... Continue reading…

With the M4 Macs having just been released, Apple is likely done with new products in 2024. The company launched new devices in December in previous years, but rumors don't indicate that Apple plans to upgrade any other products in the coming weeks. That said, there's a lot we could be excited about the products Apple plans to unveil in 2025. This article covers everything that could be coming in the first half of 2025. AirTag 2: Years after the first AirTag, Apple is expected to upgrade this item tracker. It’s unclear if it could be unveiled with new form factors. However, an improved chip and louder speakers are expected to land with this new generation early next year. iPhone SE 4: With an iPhone 14-like design, the new iPhone SE could feature Apple’s custom modem, the A18 chip, and a single main camera. This device is expected to launch in the spring, and it's one of Apple's most anticipated products of 2025. Image source: José Adorno for BGR iPad 11: With the iPhone SE 4, Apple should unveil the new base-model iPad. This fairly minor upgrade is expected to be released early next year, as Cupertino just upgraded the iPad mini and its high-end tablets. It's possible that this tablet gets a major upgrade with 8GB of RAM and Apple Intelligence support. Smart home products: According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple has new smart home products in the works for 2025. The company could release a device with a 6-inch screen that “looks like a square iPad.” It should be about the same size as two iPhones stacked on their side edges. Above the screen is a camera, and the display also ships with a rechargeable battery and internal speakers. When it launches, you’ll be able to order the smart display in black and silver.

This product could have Apple's best battery in a laptop. A 12MP Center Stage camera and Thunderbolt 4 ports are also expected to be available with this device. Mac Studio: Without an M3 Ultra chip, Apple plans to release M4 Max and M4 Ultra Mac Studio options in mid-2025 around the WWDC 2025 keynote. This impressive device could feature new Thunderbolt 5 ports and Apple's best specs ever. There are more Apple products coming in 2025 These are some of the products Apple could release in early 2025. Later on, we'll definitely see new Macs with the M5 chip (at least for the MacBook Pro). There are rumors about an M5 iPad Pro and an Apple Vision Pro with this processor. Of course, we are also expecting new Apple Watch models, the iPhone 17 lineup, and AirPods Pro 3. BGR will keep posting about Apple's possible product announcements as we learn more about them.
