Mitsubishi has confirmed it will sell the Outlander plug-in hybrid SUV and L200 pick-up truck in the UK when it returns next summer. The two models were key parts of the brand’s line-up before it exited the UK in 2021, and it will surely be hoping to rekindle their success with new generations of each car.

The core of the dispute centers on how penalties for anti-competitive behavior are calculated: based on revenue generated only in India, or on the company’s entire global earnings. Apple has filed a 545-page petition with the Delhi High Court, seeking to have the 2024 amendment to India’s Competition Act declared illegal. The amendment, which came into effect last year, grants the Competition Commission of India (CCI) the authority to use…

This comes after the significant updates in iOS 26, led by the new unified design language, Liquid Glass. This was first reported by Apple insider Mark Gurman, who said the company is not planning to launch any new features beyond improvements…
