Breaking Down the U.S. vs. Microsoft Supreme Court Case
Steven Overly, tech reporter for Politico, discusses the United States' Supreme Court case against Microsoft. The case could have a global impact on email security.
Overly says the question at the heart of the case is whether foreign governments should have access to your email. Tech companies worry the answer will be yes if the U.S. wins this case.
The UK passed legislation in 1986 for mail security but Overly notes the world looked very different back then.
Apple CEO Tim Cook said Thursday that the majority of iPhones sold in the U.S. in the current fiscal quarter will be sourced from India, while iPads and other devices will come from Vietnam as the company works to avoid the impact of President Trump’s tariffs on its business. Apple’s earnings for the first three months of the year topped Wall Street’s expectations thanks to high demand for its iPhones, and the company said tariffs had a limited effect on the fiscal second quarter’s results. Cook added that for the current quarter, assuming things don’t change, Apple expects to see $900 million added to its costs as a result of the tariffs.
