Fortnite's endgame: why an Epic fight with Apple and Google could lead to major changes
It didn’t take long after Fortnite tried circumventing the App Store’s 30% cut before Apple yanked the game off its platform, and Google off the Play Store too. But now that looks like it all went according to Epic’s plan: the gaming giant immediately filed lawsuits against both Apple and Google decrying their monopolistic practices and started riling up gamers to complain to the App Store owner. It’s still unclear who’ll win, but this is sure to create ripples.

Xiaomi is celebrating its 10th anniversary this week. To commemorate this, the Mi 10 Ultra and the Redmi K30 Ultra were announced, pushing boundaries at either end of the price spectrum. Don’t get too excited though, as they won’t be making their way out of China… at least for now.

However, users who can’t reply to a tweet will still be able to view, retweet, retweet with a comment, share, and like the tweet.

Wanted to show up on Google Search? It’s easier for Indians now!
