Key Questions Answered

• •Google-Epic Settlement: Google cuts Play Store developer fees from 30% to as low as 10% on recurring subscriptions, effective June 2026 in the US, UK, and EU. Third parties can now register and launch competing Android app stores by paying a one-time fee to Google.
• •AI Revenue Race: OpenAI hits $25B annualized revenue as of February 2026, up 17% from year-end 2025, while Anthropic closes the gap to roughly $5B behind after tripling its revenue. OpenAI projects $284B in revenue by 2030 but forecasts $665B in server-related spending through decade's end.
• •ChatGPT Health Accuracy: A Nature Medicine study testing 60 medical scenarios found ChatGPT Health under-triaged 51.6% of genuine emergencies, recommending a 24-48 hour doctor visit instead of the ER. It also over-triaged 64.8% of non-urgent cases, flagging routine issues as requiring prompt medical attention.
• •MacBook Nano Market Threat: Apple's new $599 MacBook Nano enters a price bracket previously dominated by Windows OEMs like HP, Dell, and Lenovo. With Windows 11 at low public approval and millions on unsupported Windows 10 hardware, analysts warn Microsoft faces a structural long-term market share erosion.
