Apple and Google are teaming up to make it easier for users to switch between iPhone and Android smartphones, according to 9to5Google. There is a new Android Canary build available today that simplifies data transfer between two smartphones, and Apple is going to implement the functionality in an upcoming iOS 26 beta. Apple already has a Move to iOS app for transferring data from an Android device to an ‌iPhone‌, while Google has an Android Switch app that can migrate data from an ‌iPhone‌ to an Android smartphone. The new method will apparently replace the existing apps, offering a transfer function when setting up a new ‌iPhone‌ or Android device. The collaboration will apparently add "more functionality" and support for transferring data types that are not available to transfer with the current tools. Both Apple and Google are facing regulatory pressure around the world, with multiple countries scrutinizing practices that might keep customers locked into a platform. Making it simpler for users to transition from one platform to another will be beneficial to both companies.Tags: Android, Google This article, "Switching Between iPhone and Android Will Get Easier With New Apple and Google Collaboration" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

Australia's new social media law goes into effect on December 10, 2025, and ahead of that date, Apple is sharing information on developer tools that are designed to help social media apps adhere to the law. Children under the age of 16 will no longer be allowed to use Facebook, TikTok, Instagram, Reddit, YouTube (except for YouTube Kids), Snapchat, X, Twitch, Threads, and Kick in Australia, and those apps have to take "reasonable steps" to remove underage users from their platforms starting Wednesday. Apps will also need to prevent new signups from users under the age of 16, and there is a one-year transition period before penalties will begin. To assist developers, Apple provides the Declared Age Range API, which gives developers access to the age range of users. Other tools available include an option for an age suitability URL that provides more information on the app and its age-related content, app description pages that indicate age restrictions, and tools for setting higher minimum age ranges. Platforms that don't deactivate accounts created by children will face serious fines. Australia may also add more apps to its banned list over time, depending on the apps that kids adopt after not being able to access their current favorites. Australia is the first country to implement a total social media ban for children. More information is available on Apple's developer website.Tags: App Store, Australia This article, "How Apple is Helping Apps Comply With Australia's Social Media Ban for Kids" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article

A procurement team throws a small party. They’ve shaved millions off the supplier budget. The CFO beams. The board applauds. Six months later, a cyber incident or supply disruption wipes out those savings in days. The champagne glow fades. This is not fiction. It happens every year in boardrooms that treat procurement as a hunting ground for savings instead of a safeguard for resilience. When cost reduction becomes the primary focus, resilience pays the price, especially in the case of cyber resilience. You see it everywhere. Organizations optimize procurement to look good on quarterly slides. They negotiate the lowest price, consolidate suppliers and chase global sourcing arbitrage. It works until the unexpected hits. A ransomware attack cripples a vendor. A third-party breach compromises customer data. A geopolitical shock disrupts digital supply chains. Suddenly, losses from a fragile, unprepared ecosystem dwarf the money saved. If you’re on a board leading finance, risk, procurement or security, the message is blunt: procurement strategies built on short-term savings erode resilience. And in an era where cyberattacks exploit every weakness, that fragility is a bet against your survival. Here’s the arc of the problem and what you can do about it. Why procurement prioritizes cost above all Procurement follows the incentives you give it. And most incentives point in one direction: cut costs. Boards demand quick wins. Shareholders watch quarterly margins. Procurement KPIs focus on negotiated savings, supplier discounts and contract efficiency. It’s a one-dimensional scoreboard. Nobody hands out trophies for resilience. Cyber resilience rarely appears on procurement dashboards. A vendor offering cheaper cloud storage will beat a competitor with stronger cyber safeguards, simply because the first is cheaper on paper. The boardroom reinforces this blind spot. Quarterly reporting cycles reward immediate savings, not the unseen cost of risk reduction. Shareholders don’t ask if your supplier encrypts backups or patches vulnerabilities. They ask how much you shaved off the IT contract. Global sourcing makes it worse. Firms outsource development or data processing to low-cost regions with weaker privacy laws and fragile security oversight. On spreadsheets, it looks brilliant. In practice, it’s like building your house on sand. Procurement also operates with blind spots. A buyer can compare unit costs of servers, but rarely the supplier’s incident response maturity. Without cyber expertise at the table, decisions default to the cheapest bidder. Cost wins. Security loses. This is how organizations become penny-wise. And as attacks multiply, it’s also how they become pound-foolish. The hidden trade-offs with resilience Savings don’t erase risk. They shift it. What looks efficient today becomes exposed tomorrow. Cyber resilience is often the first casualty. Supply chain fragility: Cyber threats thrive on concentration. When procurement consolidates digital services into a single provider to save money, a single breach can have a ripple effect across your operations. Consider the numerous businesses tied to a single compromised cloud vendor, which can be cheap until an outage or ransomware campaign brings them all down. Cybersecurity weakness: Vendors are often chosen for cost, not defense-in-depth. The “affordable” software supplier may lack basic monitoring or encryption. When attackers compromise them, your systems become collateral damage. Procurement saved a dollar but opened a door for hackers. Operational rigidity: Cheap IT providers rarely build resilience into contracts. They don’t maintain redundant data centers. They don’t run breach simulations. They don’t guarantee recovery in hours, only in days. When ransomware strikes, you’re paying in downtime what you once saved in cost. Cultural risks: A transactional relationship kills transparency. Vendors under constant price pressure often fail to promptly disclose near-misses. They fear contract termination. That delay costs you valuable hours in containment. Collaboration in crisis requires trust, not just a signed contract. Procurement thinks it saved money. What it really bought was fragility disguised as efficiency. Real-world costs of cheap procurement The myth of cheap procurement collapses under stress. Recent history offers brutal lessons. SolarWinds breach. Thousands of organizations relied on a cost-efficient IT supplier. Attackers slipped malicious code into its updates. Hackers compromised governments and corporations worldwide. The procurement team might have saved millions. The damage bill reached billions. Kaseya ransomware attack. Many mid-sized businesses relied on Kaseya’s remote management tool because it was an affordable option. Attackers hijacked it, spreading ransomware across hundreds of clients. The procurement logic of a single, inexpensive tool became the weapon that attackers scaled. Colonial Pipeline hack. A single compromised VPN account, lacking multifactor authentication, triggered the shutdown of critical infrastructure. Procurement had outsourced key systems with minimal cyber scrutiny. The real cost wasn’t the ransom. It was the systemic disruption and reputational fallout. COVID-19 and digital fragility. Hospitals and governments scrambled to scale remote work with IT services. Many picked low-cost providers. Within months, attackers exploited weak VPNs, unpatched systems and unsecured collaboration tools. The savings turned into a wave of cyber incidents. Automotive chip shortages meet cyber. As chip suppliers consolidated, ransomware attacks on a single manufacturer cascaded across global production. Procurement’s lean sourcing magnified the blast radius. These are not outliers. They are the predictable outcome of ignoring cyber resilience in procurement. Each case reveals the same truth: the resilience premium far exceeds the savings illusion. Revenue loss, regulatory fines, reputational damage, customer churn; the real bill is always larger. How to balance cost and resilience This is not a call to abandon savings. It’s a call to recognize that cost efficiency without cyber resilience is a false economy. Your challenge is to redesign procurement so that cost efficiency and cyber resilience reinforce each other, rather than cancelling each other out. Risk-based procurement Treat procurement like risk management, not bargain hunting. Every supplier is a potential doorway into your systems. Locks, alarms and cameras are used to reinforce some doors. Others are left ajar. If you let procurement chase the lowest price without scoring those risks, you’ve just invited attackers to stroll in. Practical steps: Require cybersecurity due diligence in every RFP. Ask about patching frequency, incident response protocols, SOC 2/ISO 27001 certifications and zero-trust adoption. Classify vendors by risk tier. A stationery supplier doesn’t need the same scrutiny as a cloud services provider. Apply a minimum cyber baseline. If a vendor cannot meet basic security controls, such as MFA, encryption and vulnerability management, they should not even qualify, regardless of price. This is not cost inflation. It’s cost prevention. Resilience metrics If you only measure savings, procurement will only deliver savings. Expand the scoreboard. Resilience KPIs could include: Mean time to detect (MTTD): How quickly does a supplier detect incidents? Mean time to respond (MTTR): How fast do they contain breaches? Recovery time objectives (RTOs): How quickly can systems or services be restored? Patch management cadence: Average time to remediate critical vulnerabilities. Disclosure speed: How fast does a vendor reports breaches or exposures? Imagine reporting these alongside contract savings in quarterly board updates. Suddenly, procurement leaders see resilience as part of their job, not a nuisance. Cross-functional governance Procurement cannot navigate cyber risk alone. You need CFOs, CROs, CIOs and CISOs at the table. The CFO ensures the business case is sound, balancing savings against potential loss exposure. The CRO frames supplier decisions within the context of the enterprise’s risk appetite. The CIO and CISO ensure digital suppliers meet the organization’s cyber and operational resilience standards. Without this alignment, procurement decisions drift into cost myopia. With it, they anchor in strategy. Strategic supplier partnerships Relationships, not transactions, build resilience. If you treat suppliers like commodities, they will act like commodities. In a crisis, they’ll give you the bare minimum required by the contract. An article in Procurement Magazine argues that procurement is shifting from transactional interactions toward deep supplier partnerships that emphasize trust, shared value and resilience. It demonstrates how these relationships enable procurement functions to drive innovation, manage risk and deliver lasting business impact. If you cultivate long-term partnerships, they’ll invest in joint resilience. They’ll disclose incidents quickly. They’ll share threat intelligence. They’ll prioritize your recovery. Concrete actions: Sign resilience-focused SLAs covering uptime, response times and breach notification. Hold quarterly joint security reviews. Run joint red-team or tabletop exercises. Establish escalation channels beyond account managers, allowing CISOs and CTOs to communicate directly during crises. Partnerships cost more upfront. But they pay dividends when disruption strikes. Scenario testing Procurement decisions must survive stress tests. Don’t assume contracts will hold under pressure. Test them. Run simulations: What happens when ransomware hits your cloud provider? How fast does your SaaS partner notify you of an exposure? If your outsourced developer leaks data, how quickly can you shut access down? Can a logistics partner reroute around a cyber disruption at a port? These tests reveal weaknesses early, when you can fix them without incurring significant consequences. They also signal to suppliers that resilience is non-negotiable. Embedding cyber resilience into procurement culture Changing the mindset is the hard part. Procurement has long treated cost as the hero metric. You need to reset the narrative. Celebrate resilience wins in the same breath as cost savings. Highlight how a supplier’s strong security posture avoided disruption. Train procurement professionals to understand cyber basics; what MFA, patch cadence or zero trust mean in practice. Make resilience part of career progression. Reward procurement leaders who achieve sustainable value, not just savings. The cultural shift transforms procurement from bargain hunters into resilience builders. And that is how you make resilience sustainable. The payoff When procurement weaves in cyber resilience, you don’t just avoid losses; you create an advantage. You recover faster than rivals. You protect customer trust. You maintain operations when others stumble. That is not an extra cost. That is an advantage. Resilience is not an extra cost. It’s strategic insurance. It is the reason your savings last instead of evaporating in the next breach. Short-term procurement savings look good in board reports. But when cyber incidents strike, those savings often collapse into losses. You don’t want to be the leader explaining how millions saved turned into billions lost. The takeaway is clear: Cost efficiency and resilience are not enemies. They are allies when appropriately governed. Procurement must evolve from cheapest supplier wins to most sustainable partner wins. As a leader, your call is clear. Redefine procurement’s mandate. Add cyber resilience to the scoreboard. Demand metrics beyond cost. Stress-test decisions. Elevate procurement from bargain hunter to resilience builder. Being penny-wise but pound-foolish is not just careless. It’s existential.

AI browsers including Perplexity Comet and OpenAI’s ChatGPT Atlas present security risks that cannot be adequately mitigated, and enterprises should prevent employees using them, according to Gartner. “Gartner strongly recommends that organizations block all AI browsers for the foreseeable future because of the cybersecurity risks,” analysts Dennis Xu, Evgeny Mirolyubov, and John Watts wrote in a research note last week. They made their recommendation based on risks they had already identified, “and other potential risks that are yet to be discovered, given this is a very nascent technology.” The warning is timely, as AI browsers are already gaining a foothold in the enterprise: 27.7% of organizations already have at least one user with Atlas installed, with some enterprises seeing up to 10% of employees actively using the browser, cybersecurity firm Cyberhaven said in October. It found adoption rates highest in the technology industry (67%), pharmaceuticals (50%), and finance (40%), all sectors with heightened security requirements. ChatGPT Atlas, launched on October 21, saw 62 times more corporate downloads than Perplexity Comet, which was released July 9, according to Cyberhaven. The launch of Atlas also sparked renewed interest in AI browsers overall, with Comet downloads surging sixfold during the same week. But concerns were raised immediately after the launch of ChatGPT Atlas about the threat posed by AI browsers, with analysts pointing to prompt injection vulnerabilities and data security concerns. Sensitive data at risk The reason AI browsers are of concern is that when they send active web content, browsing history, and open tab contents to the cloud for analysis, enterprises lose control of their data. Perplexity’s documentation, for example, warns that “Comet may process some local data using Perplexity’s servers to fulfill your queries. This means Comet reads context on the requested page (such as text and email) in order to accomplish the task requested.” Mirolyubov, senior director analyst at Gartner, said, “The real issue is that the loss of sensitive data to AI services can be irreversible and untraceable. Organizations may never recover lost data.” It’s not just where the browsers send your data for processing that is a concern; it’s what they do as a result : “Erroneous agentic transactions raise accountability concerns in case of expensive errors,” he said. Traditional controls inadequate AI browsers can autonomously navigate websites, fill out forms, and complete transactions while authenticated to web resources. As he and his colleagues wrote in their report, this makes the AI browsers susceptible to new cybersecurity risks, “such as indirect prompt-injection-induced rogue agent actions, inaccurate reasoning-driven erroneous agent actions, and further loss and abuse of credentials if the AI browser is deceived into autonomously navigating to a phishing website.” “Traditional controls are inadequate for the new risks introduced by AI browsers, and solutions are only beginning to emerge,” Mirolyubov said. “A major gap exists in inspecting multi-modal communications with browsers, including voice commands to AI browsers.” Prompt injection remains a particular concern, OpenAI CISO Dane Stuckey acknowledged in a post to X, formerly Twitter, the day after ChatGPT Atlas’s launch: “Prompt injection remains a frontier, unsolved security problem, and our adversaries will spend significant time and resources to find ways to make ChatGPT agents fall for these attacks.” Discovered vulnerabilities highlight immaturity Beyond theoretical risks, concrete security flaws have emerged in both major AI browsers. Days after ChatGPT Atlas launched, researchers discovered it stores OAuth tokens unencrypted with overly permissive file settings on macOS, potentially allowing unauthorized access to user accounts. The vulnerability was documented by security research group Teamwin on October 27. OpenAI had not released a patch as of October 31, when Gartner completed its research. Separately, cybersecurity firm LayerX Security reported in August the discovery of a vulnerability in Comet called “CometJacking” that could potentially exfiltrate user data to attacker-controlled servers. OpenAI and Perplexity did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Years, not months, to mature The discovered vulnerabilities highlight broader concerns about the maturity of AI browser technology. “Security and privacy must become core design principles rather than afterthoughts,” Mirolyubov said. AI browser vendors must incorporate enterprise-grade cybersecurity controls from the outset and provide greater transparency regarding data flows and agentic decisions, he said. Emerging AI usage control solutions will likely take “a matter of years rather than months” to mature, he said. “Eliminating all risks is unlikely — erroneous actions by AI agents will remain a concern. Organizations with low risk tolerance may need to block AI browsers for the longer term.” Organizations with higher risk tolerance that want to experiment should limit pilots to small groups tackling low-risk use cases that are easy to verify and roll back, the Gartner report said. Users must “always closely monitor how the AI browser autonomously navigates when interacting with web resources.” For now, Gartner said, organizations should block AI browser installations using existing network and endpoint security controls and review their AI policies to ensure that broad use of AI browsers is prohibited. “Today, most cybersecurity teams choose to block AI browsers, delaying adoption until risks are better understood and controls are more mature,” Mirolyubov said.

Apple's chipmaking chief Johny Srouji has reportedly indicated that he plans to continue working for the company for the foreseeable future. "I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon," said Srouji, in a memo obtained by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. Here is Srouji's full memo, as shared by Bloomberg:I know you've been reading all kind of rumors and speculations about my future at Apple, and I feel that you need to hear from me directly. I am proud of the amazing Technologies we all build across Displays, Cameras, Sensors, Silicon, Batteries, and a very wide set of technologies, across all of Apple Products. Together we enable the best products in the world. I love my team, and I love my job at Apple, and I don't plan on leaving anytime soon.Last week, Gurman said that Srouji recently told Apple CEO Tim Cook that he was "seriously considering leaving in the near future." Srouji did not explicitly deny the report, but it appears that he has no plans to leave Apple for now. Srouji informed colleagues that he would be interested in working for another company if he did leave Apple, rather than retiring, according to Gurman. Srouji is Apple's Senior Vice President of Hardware Technologies. He joined the company in 2008 to lead development of the iPhone 4's A4 chip, the first Apple-designed system-on-a-chip. He previously held senior positions at Intel and IBM. Apple's chips have achieved many performance records, making Srouji one of the company's most important executives. For example, the A17 Pro chip in the iPhone 17 Pro models offers the world's fastest CPU in any smartphone, while Apple silicon chips in Macs continue to deliver industry-leading performance per watt. Apple is facing turnover among its top ranks. Apple's operations chief Jeff Williams recently retired, and he will soon be followed by the company's AI research chief John Giannandrea, environmental chief Lisa Jackson, and general counsel Kate Adams. In addition, Apple's software design chief Alan Dye is joining Meta's Reality Labs later this month. Finally, Cook is reportedly planning to step down as CEO as early as next year.Tags: Johny Srouji, Mark Gurman This article, "Apple's Chipmaking Chief Johny Srouji Responds to Report About His Career Plans" first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums View the full article
