Apple vs Corellium legal battle has been going on now for four years. The final case has now been settled out of court, according to a report today. The dispute involved a cybersecurity company that creates virtual copies of both Android smartphones and iPhones. The virtual devices are aimed at security researchers wanting to look for vulnerabilities in both iOS and Android operating systems, and in mobile apps. Apple claimed that the software could be used by black-hat hackers looking for vulnerabilities which could be exploited by malware. Apple lost the case, and sought an injunction against the sale of the software until that appeal was heard. However, those proceedings were later dropped, and it appeared the two sides were close to reaching some kind of settlement.

It doesn’t provide any additional details about which MacBook might be the first to make the switch to OLED. The report also says that Apple has kicked the tires on developing a 20.5-inch foldable notebook of some sort. The company is still in no rush to enter the market with a folding device.

 

Researchers at Stanford University have published a new paper on how Apple Watch can help identify arrhythmia in children and young adults. Of 145 electronic-medical-record identifications of Apple Watch, the study found arrhythmias confirmed in 41 patients, with a mean age of 13.8 ± 3.2 years. Meanwhile, traditional ambulatory cardiac rhythm monitors failed to detect an arrhthymia in 10 (29%) patients.
