On that note, here were a few of our favorites this week.
Apple Makes Compromises in the EU. Ben has covered the angst surrounding the App Store since the beginning of Stratechery and was focused on Apple’s policies long before it was cool. Now that the company’s finally been forced to compromise in various forums — including a settlement this week with the EU, as well adjustments to its ATT policies in Germany — I thought the most remarkable aspect of Ben’s coverage on Wednesday was how incidental and boring it all seems in the shadow of the possibilities and concerns that exist everywhere else in tech right now. We had a fun conversation about that dynamic at the top of this week’s episode of Sharp Tech before turning to AI cybersecurity, vibe coding epiphanies, and more insight on writing with and without AI. — Andrew Sharp
