Apple agreed to a $250 million settlement of a class action over how it marketed Apple Intelligence features on certain iPhones, and the claim window is now open. Owners of certain iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models purchased in 2024 and 2025 may receive up to $95, at $25 per device, with claims accepted through Dec. 21, 2026. The plaintiffs allege Apple promoted AI capabilities that did not yet exist, and Apple later admitted in March 2025 that the functionality was not yet available, though it denies wrongdoing. Payments will not be issued until the court grants final approval on Feb. 24, 2027.

- 6 , 733 AppLovin Corporation $APP Shares Acquired by Yousif Capital Management LLC
Yousif Capital Management LLC raised its AppLovin stake by 27.3% in the third quarter, to 31,359 shares worth $9,108,000 per its latest SEC filing. AppLovin opened at $260.25 on Friday, well below its one-year high of $738.01, with a market cap of $87.09 billion. Law firms have publicized a securities class action against AppLovin and some executives over alleged misleading statements about its AI advertising models between February 12 and August 5, 2026; the allegations have not been proven, and investors have until November 16, 2026 to seek lead plaintiff status. Second-quarter revenue was $1.92 billion, up 52.8% year over year but slightly below the $1.94 billion analyst estimate. Citigroup cut its price target from $600.00 to $500.00, while Oppenheimer lowered its target from $560.00 to $490.00.
- Inuvo's IntentKey Puts Custom Audiences Live on Safari and iPhone Within 24 Hours
Inuvo (NYSE American: INUV) says its managed IntentKey service can put custom audiences live on Safari and iPhone within 24 hours of an approved campaign plan. Since Apple's iOS 27 update further limited how advertisers recognize people in Safari, the company says IntentKey has kept the same share of iPhone impressions with no change in client performance. Unlike cookie-based approaches, IntentKey uses a large language model to read content across the open web and infer interest and intent, with no cookies or personal data attached to profiles. Roughly a third of its iPhone traffic now runs on iOS 27, and Inuvo notes it first offered Safari reach without cookies in 2022 and again in 2023 when Apple tightened tracking in iOS 17.
- What Apple's hand-embroidered product launch reveals about advertising in the age of AI slop
Apple promoted its 'Welcome Home' launch on Oct. 13 with a hand-embroidered version of its 1977 rainbow logo, made by Sydney-based twin sisters Maricor/Maricar and shown in a video of hands stitching the design. An Ipsos and Syracuse University study of 20 ads with 3,000 U.S. consumers found human-made ads scored 14% higher on predicted short-term sales effectiveness and 17% higher on long-term brand health than AI-generated ones. Researchers say visible human effort can signal care and craftsmanship, while an AI-use label can make viewers perceive less effort and engage less with the brand.
- US Appeals Court Overturns Class Action Lawsuit Over Tesla Self-Driving Claims
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower-court order that allowed California Tesla customers to sue as a group over claims they were misled about full self-driving (FSD). The three-judge panel found too many individual questions, including what each buyer saw before purchase and whether all class members saw the website claim that vehicles sold from October 2016 onward had the hardware needed for FSD. The ruling is not on the merits and the false advertising case remains pending; plaintiffs allege customers paid extra for software that does not work, which Tesla denies. The article notes FSD matters to Tesla's business: about 55% of North American deliveries had an FSD subscription enabled at delivery and nearly 1.5 million customers pay for FSD worldwide. Meanwhile, free cash flow was negative last quarter as capital spending more than doubled, and automotive margins excluding credits fell from 19.2% to 16.3%.

The S&P 500 fell 0.5% to 7,541.40 after reaching a 1.1% gain early in the day, while the Nasdaq composite dropped 1.1% to 25,164.32 and the Dow Jones Industrial Average rose 0.4% to 51,983.98.

- Crypto investigators flag suspected $106M theft, $786K Solana bot drain
Blockchain investigator ZachXBT said an unidentified EU entity may have lost more than $106 million from accounts on several crypto exchanges on Sunday, with the funds withdrawn as USDC and USDT and then moved through multiple cryptocurrencies and blockchains. The attacker remains unidentified, and ZachXBT said the fund flows did not point to a link with North Korea's Lazarus Group. Separately, a wallet tied to King, a Solana arbitrage bot, may have lost about $786,000 on Monday, according to Onchain Lens, which said the funds moved through Solana wallets and were transferred to Ethereum via Mayan. King's operator has not confirmed a compromise. These incidents follow the $6.3 billion Binance hack on Oct. 29, which the FBI attributed to North Korean hackers known as TraderTraitor.
- Mystery $106 Million Crypto Theft Hits EU Entity Days After Binance Hack
An unnamed entity in the European Union is suspected of losing more than $106 million from several centralized exchange accounts on Nov. 1, according to ZachXBT, with the funds withdrawn as USDC and USDT. The attacker then swapped stablecoins for ETH, used instant exchanges, converted some funds to Monero and bridged assets across blockchains to obscure their trail. ZachXBT published 11 Ethereum addresses tied to the theft and said with “a high degree of confidence” that the attacker is not Lazarus Group, setting it apart from the $6.4 billion Binance hack, in which stablecoin issuers moved to freeze funds within minutes. It is unclear whether any funds from this case have been frozen.
