SJ144: Apple makes a lotta moves, SprinTMob may happen, the Galaxy Fold returns, Rumor Report, more

Published: July 29, 2019, 1:30 a.m.

Apple releases a basket full of updates (and even some for owners of older equipment), buys Intel's 5G modem business, turns on ECG for Apple Watch owners in Canada, prepares to launch the Apple Card in the US, and poaches a Tesla VP -- that's what we call an Apple (story) a day, cadets! Elsewhere, the DOJ gives the "new T-Mobile" a lifeline, the House passes an anti-robocall bill, LG catches HomeKit fever, and it's rumor season once again -- and that's not all! There's also the behind-the-scenes story of last week's warp-core meltdown (lucky we had backups!), some unusually great news from corporate America, Bloomberg still won't own up to their fabricated "spy chip" story, the Galaxy Fold is threatening to return in September, the Attorney General launches a distraction investigation, Equifax pays out for its data breach, and Amtrak's Wi-Fi amounts to flakes on a train! All this and an Engineering Report on new gear and an overview of the current Desktop Publishing app offerings, cadets, so set the WAYBAC Machine to the early 1990s and strap in for holographic graphic artists debating the merits of Pagemaker versus MS Publisher! Ready, Set, Go!
