Summary

Three huge stories this week are reshaping the mobile and tech landscape.

First, Epic and Google finally settled their long legal battle, meaning Fortnite is returning to Google Play. Even more importantly, Google is cutting store fees and allowing developers to use alternative payment providers.

Second, the AI race just took a strange turn. Claude briefly overtook ChatGPT in US App Store downloads after OpenAI announced a deal with the US Department of Defense.
