A rough week for Apple. Italy is fining the company over misleading ads, Brazil is mandating chargers be included with the iPhone, and another incredible exploit was detailed for iOS. Reddit released their daily user figures. Google will offer a credit to help move folks to phones that support VoLTE. And let’s chat about the shiny new SOC that Qualcomm announced! Let’s get our tech week started right!
