They're still out hunting for the best technical talent, particularly in areas like artificial intelligence, but headcount growth is measured. Last year, tech companies were responding to dramatically changing market conditions — soaring inflation, rising interest rates, rotation out of risk — after an extended bull market. Meta slashed over 20,000 jobs in 2023, Amazon laid off more than 27,000 people, And Alphabet cut over 12,000 positions. Other than Nvidia , which had a banner 2023 due to soaring demand for its AI chips, none of the other mega-cap tech companies have been growing at their historic averages. By late this year, analysts are projecting growth at Meta will be back down to the low teens at best.

Gray Television is teaming up with other TV stations to launch a free, local-news streamer, and running Super Bowl ads starring John Stamos to get the word out. Perry's pitch to local stations is that Zeam removes the tech and ad barriers from the process of adapting to streaming. "It's a whole new way for stations to interact with their viewers and reach viewers in other markets," Perry said. At the same time, local TV ad revenue is shifting online. Digital is set to account for 10% of the $23.8 billion local TV ad pie in 2024, or $2.1 billion, per BIA Advisory Services .

Meta founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg speaks during the Meta Connect event at Meta headquarters in Menlo Park, California, on Sept. 27, 2023. Mark Zuckerberg is so pleased with his "year of efficiency" that he's extending it indefinitely. On Thursday's earnings call, after Meta reported fourth-quarter financials that sailed past analysts' estimates, Zuckerberg said he wants to "keep things lean" and has no plans to accelerate hiring. At the time, Meta was facing a tough digital ad market and the lingering effects of Apple's 2021 iOS update. On Thursday, Meta reported fourth-quarter sales growth of 25%, the fastest rate of expansion since mid-2021, to $40.1 billion.

Gergely Kalman, a security researcher, posted a photo of a "Security Research Device," or SRD, a jailbroken iPhone 14 Pro sent to him by Apple, on X (formerly known as Twitter). Apple pre-jailbreaks the devices, allowing third-party researchers to probe for vulnerabilities without worrying about being locked out. "Apple strongly cautions against installing any software that modifies iOS," the iPhone User Guide said.

Temu is owned by PDD Holdings , a Chinese company that moved its principal office to Ireland last year. Meta is expected to report revenue growth of 22% for the quarter to $39.2 billion, according to analysts surveyed by LSEG, formerly Refinitiv. JMP analysts estimated that Temu and Shein spent roughly $600 million and $200 million, respectively, on Facebook and Instagram ads in the third quarter. In December, Temu sued Shein, alleging questionable business practices and a "mafia-style intimidation of suppliers," according to legal documents. Meta isn't the only U.S. internet company effected by the speedy growth from Temu and Shein.

Apple just did something unthinkable: it opened up its App Store. AdvertisementApple's absolute rule over the App Store has just been broken for the first time since its launch in 2008. Developers in the EU could previously only sell apps through Apple's App Store. It means developers can simply bypass the App Store. Did... did Apple just introduce the equivalent of Unity's runtime install fee... but for all iOS app developers in the EU?!

Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek is unhappy about Apple's proposed App Store changes . Spotify chief executive Daniel Ek said in an X post on Friday that Apple's changes represent a "new low, even for them." Under Apple's new changes, apps with over one million downloads will need to pay a "core technology fee" for "each first annual install per year." Apple's App Store change not only falls short of that ideal, but "mocks the spirit of the law and the lawmakers who wrote it," Ek said. AdvertisementThe good news for him is that Apple's new changes aren't set in stone until they pass muster with the EU.

AdvertisementSome of the big ones:Apple will allow developers to create and distribute apps without using the company's App Store. Apple's App Store now will now take a cut of up to 17%, plus another 3% fee, for payments made on apps distributed on its App Store. Those apps — along with apps distributed through Apple's App Store — will pay a fee of 0.50 euros for each download over a million.

CNN —Apple announced sweeping new changes to its handling of apps in Europe on Thursday, including plans to allow third-party app stores on iPhones and iPads for the first time in company history and significant cuts to Apple’s app store fees. The unprecedented updates, which are a response to new European regulations set to take effect in March, reflect some of the most consequential changes to Apple’s app business since the debut of its proprietary app store 15 years ago, which forms the bedrock of its walled garden ecosystem. And for developers, other changes to Apple’s terms may give them more flexibility in how they market themselves to users. Under the changes, Apple said it will allow users to download third-party app stores onto their devices from websites outside of Apple’s own ecosystem. The app stores, Apple said, will exist as standalone apps on an iOS device with the authority to install other apps offered by those third-party marketplaces.

5 huge challenges facing Apple this year

Behind in generative AI. A recent Reuters report noted iPhone sales in China dropped 30% in the first week of the year amid pressure from rival Huawei. Still, Barclays downgraded Apple stock earlier this month citing disappointing iPhone 15 sales in China and softening demand for the latest iPhone. Apple also faces challenges around the upcoming rollout of the Vision Pro headset, which will be its riskiest product launch in years. Tim Cook, chief executive officer of Apple Inc., speaks during a launch event for the new Apple iPhone 15 at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, on September 12, 2023.

Apple announced plans to open up its iPhone App Store in Europe to competitors on Thursday, a move that opens up cracks in the company's famous "walled garden," with which it controls app distribution on its devices. Apple said on Thursday that it believes the new regulation puts its users at risk for scams, fraud and abuse, because apps that don't go through Apple's App Store aren't reviewed for content and could contain malware. Developers in general are likely to celebrate, as many have chafed for years over Apple's fees and rigorous App Review program that frequently rejects app updates. The changes are restricted to Europe and accounts that are registered in the E.U., rather than changes to the way iPhone app distribution works in the U.S. "Developers can now learn about the new tools and terms available for alternative app distribution and alternative payment processing, new capabilities for alternative browser engines and contactless payments, and more," said Apple App Store boss Phil Schiller in a statement.
