2021 might be winding down, but the news just keeps on coming! Apple is having a rough week. Employees are pushing back against NDAs, AirTags are being used to steal cars, iPhone orders are being reduced, and iMessage is one of the more “open” messengers for giving your data to the feds. Also, the FTC is pushing back against NVIDIA buying ARM. We have ANOTHER Google watch rumor, and we can start chatting about the Pixel 6a leaks! Let’s get our tech week started right!
