Did Google hide Apple apps from its search engine?
Google's search engine is the most famous in the world, as it accounts for nearly 90% of the searches on the Internet, so the whole world depends on it. It seems that Google decided to use it in advertising for its applications and its war against Apple, as it has recently been noted that it is difficult to find the Apple Store programs through Google search; For example, if you search for the “Feedly” news app or the “Snapchat” application, you will find the results showing the site of the company that owns the application, as well as a link to the application in the Android store, and then articles about the application, but you cannot find its link in the Apple Store. Frankly, Google has not hidden the apps at all. If you add "itunes" next to the search word, the application will appear to you - sometimes it also appears late - meaning that Google has lowered the order of the Apple Store so that it keeps its applications away from the first pages or has done some trick.
It is worth noting that applications not present in the Google Store appear directly in the search engine, such as Tweetbot, without adding the word iTunes next to it. But the applications of which there is a copy in the Google Store, it does not appear on the first pages and only the Android version appears, which contradicts Google's official statement that the reason for the disappearance of the applications is a technical failure in Apple's servers.
What do you think of this behavior from Google? And do you see that it is free in its search engine to use it as it wants?
Steve Jobs supervised an upcoming iPhone
In a meeting between Apple and George Jackson, the Attorney General of the State of San Francisco, Apple revealed to him that there is an iPhone that Steve Jobs has supervised their design and has not yet been raised, and the Attorney General had gone to Apple in a series of meetings with technology companies in order to discuss ways to reduce phone theft. By disabling it completely remotely and not just erasing its content, thus it becomes useless and stops theft or less, and George Jackson commented on the meeting, saying that Apple employees have been trained well to talk a lot, but in the end you find they did not say any new information. What matters to us now is that there are two upcoming phones designed under Steve's supervision. Is this an advantage to what we are used to from Steve Jobs? Or is it a defect, because technology developed rapidly after his death, and perhaps faster than he could have imagined?

The name "iPad mini" is not a trade name for Apple
The US Patent and Trademark Office refused to register the name "iPad" mini as a trademark of Apple. And Apple had submitted to the office a request to register the iPad mini name to be its own trademark and therefore no other company is allowed to use it, but last week it was surprised by the rejection of its request. "Internet" means the tablet that enters the Internet and sends and receives data, and adding the word "Mini" is just a description of the device as a small copy and not a new innovation that deserves to register its name as a trademark of the company. Apple, of course, can complain and take legal measures to register the name.
