Apple tightens App Store rules and boosts AI team

Apple has removed the Vibe coding app from its App Store, continuing a stricter enforcement of its marketplace rules. The company also hired a former Google executive to lead its AI marketing, as part of a broader effort to improve its Siri assistant and compete in artificial intelligence.

Separately, Apple is rolling out a feature to hide users' email addresses from apps and websites, though the company notes this privacy tool would not apply to law enforcement requests with a valid warrant.
