Administration to the by administration, and he congratulated president by an vice president terrace. On day last month, trump said that cook called him to complain about apple's ongoing battle with the european and union that is LED to seventeen billion dollars in fines. Trump said that he told cook, quote, i've got to get elected first, but i'm not going to let them take advantage of our companies.

And quote, over the years, cook has repeatedly emphasize that he feels it's Better to be involved in conversations than sit on the sidelines. And this appears to be another example of that being applied in practice. Speaking of the european union, the european commission has announced its latest anti trust investigation and IT could once again have an impact on apple.

The eu pean commission says IT is investigating whether corning, a key apple supplier quote, may have abused its dominant position. The worldwide market for a special type of glass that is used mainly to protect the screens of handheld electronic devices such as mobile phones. In the quote, apple in corning have a long running relationship with the company supplying glass for the iphone out of a factory.

And kentucky, in fact, the partnership extends all the way back to the original iphone. Originally, the first iphone was shown off with a plastic display, but Steve jobs noticed that the prototypes were being easily scratched when in pockets. So within a few months of the iphones being announced, apple lean on corning to mass produce scratch resistance carla glass to be used for the iphone screen instead of a plastic cover.

Apple has utilized corning glass for every iphone model since then. European commissions, however, now wants to know whether anti competitive exclusive supply agreements between corning and mobile phone manufacturers could have affected competition in the industry. The announcement from the eu doesn't specifically mention apple or the iphone, and its worth noting that corning does have relationships with other manufacturer, including samsung, but apple has directly invested in corning multiple times over the years.

The company was the first investment apple made through its advanced manufacturing fund in twenty seventeen, and IT has expanded on that investment twice in twenty, twenty and twenty twenty one following the introduction of the proprietary shield glass on the iphone twelve.

After agreed to new eyes cloud terms and conditions via prompt pop up by the system, the notes APP appears to disconnect from I cloud and instead shows users a screen with zero notes as if all of that users notes have been deleted.

There is a growing amount of reports from affected users on social media who believe that their notes are now gone forever. The bug appears to affect any iphone running versions of I O S A teen, but fortunately there is a fix. You'll know if this bug is affecting you because you'll open the notes APP and suddenly see no content.

Not only will all of your eye cloud notes disappear, but also the notes store recent on your iphone will also be missing. The bug appears to present itself after a user has accepted new eyes cloud terms and conditions. For some people, IT seems to be a temporary glitch that sort itself out, but for others, there's a projective step to take to fix the problem.

Go to the settings APP and tap your name at the top, then tap on eyes cloud and choose notes. You'll wait for the sink this iphone togo to appear and ensure that it's enabled, then wait a few minutes and reopen the note tap, and the note APP should then kick into action and start we downloading all of your notes from I cloud. IT might take a while for all of your notes to come back, but eventually all of your notes should come back and be organized as they were before this bug happened and as right now, IT does appear that there is no risk of permanent data loss, and eventually all of your notes will come back as Normal.
