On this week’s episode of the AppleInsider Podcast, your regular hosts discuss a change in EU rules for small developers, some Apple ID bugs, iOS 18 leaks — and of course the imminent launch of new iPads.

It doesn’t look as if Apple is going to put its hand up over that one, but it has unexpectedly caved in to the European Union. The EU itself says that the iPad should not come under its Digital Markets Act rules, but it’s going to pretend it does anyway — and Apple has said okay, fine, be like that.
