Apple / Russia
A new Russian law now obliges the Apple company to show Russian citizens who configure a new iPhone the apps approved by the Russian government. This writes MacRumors. Only these apps that are pre-installed can be effectively activated by the user. This law was introduced so that Russian software makers could compete better with, for example, Google and Apple.
Microsoft
On Wednesday, Microsoft signed a deal with the US military regarding AR headsets. This is a multi-billion dollar agreement in which the tech giant will deliver augmented reality headsets with screens for the next ten years. It would be an amount of 22 billion dollars. The US military wants to use the headsets so that troops get more and better information to make decisions.

Instagram has expanded its "Reels" app with a new feature. Now users can also record new videos in addition to the already existing Reels video. The company reported this on Twitter on Wednesday. This new feature was named 'Remix' and is very similar to TikTok's 'Duet' application. This allows you to use an existing video in your own video.
Discord / Clubhouse
To compete with the audio chat app Clubhouse, Discord added a new feature to their own audio chat app on Wednesday. With that feature, called "Stage Channels", users can now start audio chats with different speakers and also in front of an audience. It is designed to allow only certain people to speak, while other users can only listen to the conversation. The moderators decide who is allowed to speak.
