- Business Insider 04:42August 14, 2020Fortnite maker Epic Games just set an antitrust trap for Apple, and Tim Cook walked right into it (AAPL)Epic Games Apple on Thursday removed the popular game Fortnite from its App Store, and in doing so, fell right into the trap set by Fortnite's maker, Epic Games.
Epic set its snare by intentionally breaking one of Apple's rules, offering Fortnite players an alternative way to pay for its virtual currency than through the App Store.
Apple's response of banning Fortnite is likely to help Epic win public relations battle — and served as a case in point for the lawsuit it immediately filed charging the iPhone maker with anticompetitive behavior.
The way Apple runs the App Store has come under increasing scrutiny, but Epic's suit, which lays out a damning case against the company, could be its biggest challenge yet.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Tim Sweeney just led Apple right into an, ahem, epic trap — one that just might cause the iPhone maker some serious harm.
Epic Games, Sweeney's company and the maker of the popular Fortnite game, is accusing Apple of anticompetitive conduct. And on Thursday, Epic showed the world how. By deliberately breaking one of Apple's App Store rules, Epic provoked Apple into flexing its unchecked power, providing Exhibit A in the lawsuit that Epic had ready to go.See the rest of the story at Business InsiderNOW WATCH: A cleaning expert reveals her 3-step method for cleaning your entire home quicklySee Also:All the Easter eggs hidden in 'Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite,' the clever video Epic Games made to taunt Apple amid their heated battle over App Store rulesApple just removed 'Fortnite' from the App Store, and the company behind the game hit back with a scathing video that roasts the iPhone maker's most iconic adThe developer behind 'Fortnite' is suing Apple after the iPhone maker yanked the game from the App StoreSEE ALSO: Big Tech's CEOs wrapped themselves in the flag and warned about China.

Epic also filed a lawsuit against Apple on Thursday, claiming the company engaged in "unfair and anti-competitive actions."
Epic's video said Apple retaliated against Epic for defying "the App Store Monopoly" and urged "Fortnite" players to "join the fight to stop 2020 from becoming '1984.'"
Titled "Nineteen Eighty-Fortnite," the video was a clear reference to Apple's famous "1984" ad, in which a heroine destroys a screen bearing a dictator's face using a sledgehammer.
The war between the two companies stems from a new policy Epic instituted that allows players to make in-game purchases directly through Epic, bypassing Apple and Google play and the 30% cut their app stores take from app purchases.

- Business Insider 20:46August 13, 20206 delivery-only restaurants that customers probably don't realize are owned by massive chains such as Chili's, Chuck E. Cheese, Applebee's, and Dog HausHollis Johnson/Business Insider Virtual restaurants are invisible, but their numbers are growing during the pandemic.
They are delivery-only brands that seem to be local restaurants or separate chains, but are owned by and operated out of the kitchens of giant chains.
Some are more transparent about their true identity and origins than others.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. They're invisible, yet they're all around us. And their numbers are growing.
The pandemic has spawned a new species of restaurant: the virtual restaurant. Unfortunately, we're not referring to nifty 3D virtual reality recreations of the dining out experience, although those exist too.
What we're referring to is the kind of restaurant that only truly exists on delivery platforms, the Pasqually's Pizzas of the world that seem to be friendly neighborhood joints but are really operating out of the kitchens of big chain restaurants.
Some, like Just Salad's "Health Tribes by Just Salad," are clearly labeled for what they are: market-specific digital offshoots of bigger brands designed to game the increasingly competitive delivery landscape by targeting a singular menu item. Others, however, may make their true identities it less immediately clear to the hungry consumer.
These restaurants may not be who they seem.Neighborhood Wings

In May, Applebee's received public backlash after it came to light that a restaurant called "Neighborhood Wings" on Grubhub and other delivery apps was actually run by Applebee's.
Technically, the full name of the venture is "Neighborhood Wings by Applebee's," but in some search results, the "by Applebee's" part doesn't appear. And on some delivery platforms, it's omitted entirely from the restaurant name, making it easy enough to confuse "Neighborhood Wings" for, well, a neighborhood wing joint.
"At Applebee's restaurants, wings are a top selling menu item. We launched Neighborhood Wings by Applebee's on Grubhub to make it even easier for guests to get their wings fix and to give us the opportunity to test out new items made for wing lovers that aren't on our main menu," Applebee's vice president of strategy and development, Scott Gladstone, told TODAY.

Also in May, a Reddit user sparked a wave of outrage after she discovered the pizza she thought she'd ordered from a local pizzeria had actually come from Chuck E. Cheese.
Now, unlike Applebee's, which at least puts the big brand name in the small brand's name, Pasqually's Pizza & Wings makes no mention of Chuck E. Cheese. On delivery platforms like Seamless, there is no sign of Chuck E. Cheese's name or branding. Only the most die-hard Chuck E. Cheese would instantly pick up on the fact that Pasqually is the name of the chef in the Chuck E. Cheese universe.
A Chuck E. Cheese spokesperson previously told Business Insider that Pasqually's pizza is slightly different from Chuck E. Cheese's pizza.
"Pasqually's Pizza & Wings' recipes use fresh, homemade pizza dough, just like Chuck E. Cheese, but it is a different pizza that features a thicker crust, extra sauce and new blends of cheeses and seasonings, giving consumers a more flavorful, more premium pizza experience," the spokesperson said.

The newest addition to the virtual brand family is It's Just Wings, a wings-oriented delivery brand that operates out of the kitchens of — you guessed it — Chili's restaurants. The virtual brand also operates out of some Maggiano's, which is also owned by Chili's parent company, Brinker International.
Brinker did announce the launch of It's Just Wings back in June, but otherwise, the wing brand's only visible affiliation with Chili's and Maggiano's is tucked quietly in the website's "About" section. The restaurant's Doordash page does not mention the affiliation.
And according to Brinker's recent earnings call, fans have been eating It's Just Wings up. Brinker CEO Wyman Roberts said in the earnings call that the brand-new brand was already generating over $3 million in weekly sales.

With the latest iOS update, though, Apple has finally fixed the problem.
The green tint typically appeared for a few seconds after unlocking an iPhone 11 and was uniform across the display. The iPhone 11, 11 Pro, and 11 Pro Max were all susceptible to it, and at the time Apple accepted it was a hardware fault in some cases and chose to replace the display. However, as MacRumors reports, the iOS 13.6.1 update includes a fix for the tint.
Apple doesn't go into much detail as to what caused the green tint to occur, but the 13.6.1 release notes describe it as, "Fixes a thermal management issue that caused some displays to exhibit a green tint." So it sounds as though some components within the latest generation of iPhone were getting a bit toasty and having a short-term impact on the functionality of the display.

The company announced Thursday that players will get a permanent 20% discount on V-Bucks, the in-game currency in "Fortnite," if they pay directly through Epic.
But Epic's new system appears to be in direct violation of Apple's and Google's app store policies. Neither company immediately responded to a request for comment.

- Business Insider 20:11August 12, 2020A history of the 30-year feud between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs, whose love-hate relationship spurred the success of Microsoft and Apple (MSFT, AAPL)Beck Diefenbach/Reuters; Mike Cohen/Getty Images for The New York Times Microsoft cofounder Bill Gates and Apple cofounder Steve Jobs began building their companies right around the same time, and it was a natural catalyst for their rivalry.
While the two founders had periods of civility, at other times, they were at each other's throats.
Jobs insulted Gates' taste and imagination, while Gates once described Jobs as "weirdly flawed as a human being."
But the two execs appeared to get along better later in life, and when Jobs died in 2011, Gates said that they "spurred each other on, even as competitors."
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs never quite got along.
Over the course of 30-plus years, the two went from cautious allies to bitter rivals to something almost approaching friends — sometimes, they were all three at the same time.
It seems unlikely that Apple would be where it is today without Microsoft, or Microsoft without Apple.
Here's the history of the love-hate relationship between Steve Jobs and Bill Gates.Bill Gates and Steve Jobs weren't always enemies — Microsoft made software early on for the mega-popular Apple II PC, and Gates would routinely fly down to Cupertino to see what Apple was working on.

In the early '80s, Jobs flew up to Washington to sell Gates on the possibility of making Microsoft software for the Apple Macintosh computer, with its revolutionary graphical user interface. Gates wasn't particularly impressed with what he saw as a limited platform — or Jobs' attitude.

"It was kind of a weird seduction visit where Steve was saying we don't really need you and we're doing this great thing, and it's under the cover. He's in his Steve Jobs sales mode, but kind of the sales mode that also says, 'I don't need you, but I might let you be involved,'" Gates later said.

- Business Insider 16:13August 12, 2020Apple has an idea that could make future AirPods much smarter about sensing your surroundings (AAPL)Crystal Cox/Business Insider A recently published Apple patent describes a contextual audio system that could enable AirPods to automatically adjust their output depending on your surroundings or current activity.
If you're standing by the side of the road, for example, the system may lower or mute audio in one ear so that you can remain aware of nearby traffic.
Patents shouldn't be interpreted as concrete evidence that a product or feature is in development, but it does provide some indication as to what types of technologies Apple may be experimenting with.
The patent is surfacing after Apple announced it would bring spatial audio to the AirPods Pro with its iOS 14 update.

- Business Insider 00:58August 12, 2020TikTok reportedly violated Google's data collection policies by tracking the individual identifiers of Android users' smartphones (GOOG, GOOGL)Jakub Porzycki/NurPhoto via Getty Images TikTok collected data from Android users for at least a year in apparent violation of Google's policies, The Wall Street Journal reported Tuesday.
The app tracked users' MAC addresses, an identifier unique to every smartphone that would allow TikTok to track users even if they tightened their privacy settings, according to the report.
Google and Apple have both banned apps from collecting MAC addresses, but researchers told The Wall Street Journal that TikTok did so until November last year by exploiting a bug.
TikTok told The Journal that it doesn't currently collect the information, and Google told Business Insider it's "investigating these claims."
The report follows President Donald Trump's executive order last week that aims to ban American companies from doing business with TikTok's parent company, ByteDance, which would effectively halt its US operations.

Apple now has a market value of nearly $2 trillion, per Bloomberg.
Cook's wealth derives from his Apple salary, the number of shares he holds in the company, and the proceeds he's made from share sales. Despite his billionaire status, the native Alabaman doesn't live lavishly.
He reportedly spends most of his time at the office and lives in a Palo Alto home that's worth less than 75% of the town's median home value.
Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories. Apple CEO Tim Cook, 59, leads the first company in the world to become worth $1 trillion.
Apple is now worth nearly $2 trillion and, according to calculations by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index, Cook himself has officially reached billionaire status.
But Cook actually is a lot less wealthy than leaders of other, less revenue-generating corporations. While he's now a billionaire, tech CEOs like Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg and Oracle's Larry Ellison are worth tens of billions — largely because they are the founders of the companies they run.
Cook, who is the son of a shipyard worker and a pharmacy employee, has said he's not motivated by money, and that shows through in what we know about the private CEO's habits.
Here's how Cook made his fortune and what he does with it.Tim Cook has officially joined the ranks of the billionaires, according to calculations by the Bloomberg Billionaires Index.

Cook owns 847,969 shares in Apple — about 0.02% of the company's shares — which have a total value of about $375 million, per Bloomberg. The CEO's share sales, dividends, and other compensation amount to about $650 million.
Since 2005, the Apple CEO has also sat on the board of directors for Nike, where he has $3.4 million in stock options, according to SEC filings. In June 2019, Nike's board re-appointed Cook as its lead independent director for a three-year term.
Cook's actual net worth is likely higher than $1.02 billion — but information on his property, investment portfolio, and cash on hand isn't publicly available.
