Broadcom and Apple extend their silicon partnership through 2031. The two companies expanded their long-running custom chip relationship, with Broadcom set to develop and supply a range of custom ASIC products across multiple future generations of Apple devices. It’s a quiet but important signal: Apple continues to lean on Broadcom for specialized silicon rather than bringing every chip category in-house, and a six-year commitment gives Broadcom unusually long revenue visibility from one of its largest customers.

A Los Angeles jury has now done something regulators have been circling for years but never quite landing cleanly: it translated “engagement optimization” into legal negligence. The finding that Meta and YouTube failed to warn users about the risks associated with their platforms isn’t just about content moderation or youth safety in the narrow sense—it cuts directly into the architecture of modern social media. That shift matters, maybe more than the verdict itself.
