At the end of the inspection, the company was issued a Form 483 with five observations, it added. All the observations are procedural in nature, it said. There was no observation related to data integrity, it added.

Apple AI troubles continue, sued by shareholders over Apple Intelligence and Siri delays; here's what lawsuit claims

Apple is facing a proposed securities fraud class action lawsuit from its shareholders, a report claims. According to a report by the news agency Reuters, the lawsuit claims that the Cupertino-based tech giant understated the time required to integrate advanced artificial intelligence into its Siri voice assistant, which caused a delay in rolling out these features and has allegedly harmed iPhone sales and Apple's stock price. The complaint covers shareholders who experienced significant losses in the year leading up to early June, when Apple introduced new product features but limited AI advancements. The lawsuit, filed in San Francisco federal court, names Apple, CEO Tim Cook , CFO Kevan Parekh, and former CFO Luca Maestri as defendants. What the Apple shareholders' lawsuit against the company claims As per the Reuters report, a group of shareholders led by Eric Tucker has alleged that Apple misled investors during its June 2024 Worldwide Developers Conference by suggesting that AI would be a key selling point for the upcoming iPhone 16, particularly through its Apple Intelligence features aimed at enhancing Siri. However, the lawsuit claims Apple did not have a working prototype of the AI-based Siri upgrades and had no reasonable basis to believe the features would be ready in time for the iPhone 16 launch. Apple shareholders have argued that concerns started to surface in March, when the company postponed some Siri improvements to 2026, the Reuters report notes. The issue continued into Apple's WWDC developer event in June, where the company's update on its AI progress fell short of analyst expectations. Since its peak in December 2024, Apple's share value has dropped by nearly 25%, resulting in an estimated $900 billion decline in the company's market capitalisation, the report adds.

Romania finally gets a prime minister, budget crisis PM Bolojan's first test

Romania's President Nicusor Dan nominated Ilie Bolojan, leader of the National Liberal Party, after weeks of coalition talks. Now, the biggest challenge in the new government's hands will be tackling the budget crisis read more Romania's new pro-Western president, Nicusor Dan, on Friday nominated Ilie Bolojan, leader of the pro-European National Liberal Party (PNL), as the country's next prime minister. AP Romania's new pro-Western President, Nicusor Dan , nominated Ilie Bolojan, leader of the pro-European National Liberal Party (PNL), as the country's next prime minister. The move was announced on Friday, marking an end to the weeks of political uncertainty following the annulled December presidential elections. The 56-year-old centre-right leader was serving the role of Senate president and is known for his reformist approach and administrative discipline. It is pertinent to note that Bolojan had previously served as acting president from February to May, when Dan defeated a hard-right opponent in a heated presidential election rerun . STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The nomination came as Romania, a European Union and NATO member state, is seeking to end a protracted political crisis that has gripped the nation since last year. Bolojan was nominated following a fresh round of talks between Dan and PNL. The biggest challenge facing Bolojan now will be taking care of the budget crisis in the country. The budget crisis: Bolojan's biggest challenge The 56-year-old leader will be tasked with tackling Romania's dire finances and reconciling the divided EU member. The country's budget deficit stood at 9.3 per cent at the end of last year, making it the highest in the European Union, AFP reported. In a press conference last week, Bolojan said Romania was 'in a complicated situation', adding that the incoming government would have to resort to 'unpopular measures' that could include cutting public spending and imposing tax rises. Meanwhile, Political scientist Sergiu Miscoiu told AFP that Bolojan was 'the person best placed to take unpopular measures to tackle the serious budget crisis'. However, analysts also point out that apart from a brief time as interim president, he had 'no experience in national politics'. Apart from this, deep social divisions in the nation were also made clear by the controversies that surrounded the presidential election. According to Cristian Andrei, a Bucharest-based political consultant, the new government will face the challenge of reaching a longer-term consensus over already delayed state reforms. 'There is only a disputed agreement on very short-term measures for the economic and budget crisis,' the political consultant told The Associated Press. 'If the short-term measures come with a social cost, inflation … (and) will not be met by profound changes in policies and institutions, then the political crisis will loom over the next years and (future) elections," he furthered. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD What comes next Bolojan's nomination will now need to be approved by the country's parliament. According to Euro News, his government is expected to be comprised of the leftist Social Democratic Party, or PSD, the PNL, the reformist Save Romania Union party, and the small ethnic Hungarian UDMR party. Ahead of his nomination, the PSD has pushed for a power-sharing agreement that would see a rotation of the prime ministerial post. While speaking after being nominated for the prime ministerial position, Bolojan said he's 'fully aware of the great responsibility' the role will bring and acknowledged it 'will not be an easy undertaking.' 'I will pursue three priorities: to restore order to the country's finances, to work toward good governance that creates conditions for development in Romania, and … to show proper respect to the Romanian people," he furthered. While the far-right parties recently won a third of the parliament seats, they were kept out of the talks to form a new government. Defeated presidential candidate labelled the move as 'a disgrace and an insult'. Meanwhile, the European Union has voiced concerns over the rise of Eurosceptic parties in NATO member Romania that are opposed to sending military aid to Ukraine.
