Apple is forging a closer partnership with TSMC in hopes of reducing its reliance on Qualcomm with plans to have the Taiwanese chip titan make 5G iPhone modems from 2023.

Apple has always been especially reluctant to compromise control (and things like waterproofing), but now it’s announced a program for anyone to buy a range of parts for self-service repair (it already does this for repair shops). In reality, I think, a tiny number of people will take advantage of this - the real audience is regulators, where Apple is getting ahead of the agenda in a way that it hasn’t done for the App Store.

Twitter’s e-commerce initiatives now include livestream shopping and Walmart will be the first retailer to test the new platform. Over the past year, Walmart has invested in live shopping by hosting events across social platforms like TikTok and YouTube, and soon it will debut Twitter’s first-ever shoppable livestream.

In 2018, the team at Facebook had a puzzle on their hands. Cambodian users accounted for nearly 50% of all global traffic for Messenger’s voice function, but no one at the company knew why, according to documents released by whistleblower Frances Haugen.

The answer, surprisingly, has less to do with Facebook, and more to do with the complexity of the Khmer language, and the way users adapt for a technology that was never designed with them in mind.
