The story so far

Epic Games said on October 22 that Fortnite would return to Apple's App Store in Australia the next day, Friday. The announcement followed a ruling by Federal Court Justice Jonathan Beach, who ordered Apple to readmit the game. The judge also ordered that iPhone app distribution and in-app payments be opened to competition. The decision could change how Australian iPhone users get apps and how developers charge for them.

Earlier, on October 20, researchers at the security firm Claroc reported that Muse, Meta's new general-purpose AI agent, can expose sensitive information when users share conversations through web links. Muse is built to act for users by filling out forms, booking appointments, making purchases and creating documents. To do so, it needs access to most of a user's accounts.

Also on October 22, Apple said developers around the world were releasing apps and games optimized for iPhone Duo, its first foldable iPhone. Users can find them starting Friday, October 23. The apps show how developers are using the extra space and the fold.
