    The EU thinks TikTok broke its ad rules.

    The preliminary finding in an investigation opened last year says TikTok breached the Digital Services Act’s requirements to publish information about the content of ads, which users are targeted, and who paid for them. Now it’s TikTok’s turn to respond and try to avoid a potential fine worth up to 6 percent of its annual turnover, just weeks after it was fined $600 million for breaking the bloc’s GDPR regulations.

    Trump doesn’t want Apple’s Indian iPhones.

    “I had a little problem with Tim Cook yesterday,” the president revealed during a visit to Qatar, after apparently telling the Apple CEO to stop moving its manufacturing to India. Apple has reportedly planned to use its Indian infrastructure to avoid higher tariffs on Chinese goods. Trump claims the company will now be “upping their production in the United States,” but there are many reasons an American iPhone just won’t happen.

    Google Find Hub is turning bounty hunter.

    Alongside a shiny rebrand and airline integration, Google is expanding the range of trackers in its Find Hub network. But not with boring practicalities like better battery or more accurate tracking — no, we get Baby Yoda, thanks to a new set of Disney-themed tags from Pixbee.

    XR at I/O.

    Android XR didn’t get a lot of screen time at today’s Android Show — apart from confirmation that it’s going to get Gemini AI support — but Google promises that there’s more to come at the full Google I/O event next week.

    Android president Sameer Samat even broke out the company’s prototype XR shades to promise some “really cool Android demos” to come. And as you can see, this is a man who knows what’s cool.

    Google adds tracker sharing with airlines.

    You’ll be able to share the location of trackers in its Find Hub network (formerly Find My Device) with airline staff when you need to find lost luggage, just like you already can with Apple’s AirTags. Support won’t arrive until “early next year” though, and only on five airlines — while Apple supports over 15.
