Apple vs. Apple Cinemas: Inside the High-Stakes Branding Lawsuit

Apple Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Apple Cinemas, a New England–based theater chain, accusing it of trademark infringement as it expands to 14 locations. According to a Verge report, Apple claims the cinema's name is designed to "capitalize on the highly-regarded Apple brand" and risks confusing consumers.

Apple Cinemas responded that it's a long-established independent chain with no affiliation to Apple Inc., arguing its branding is distinct and consumer confusion is "unfounded."

Facing repeated Face ID failures on your iPhone? You're not alone. From multiple recognition attempts to the dreaded "Face ID is not available" alert, these glitches often stem from simple hardware obstructions or software hiccups.

• Hardware checks: Remove cases or screen protectors that might block the TrueDepth camera and clean the notch with a lint-free cloth.


• Software steps: Update to the latest iOS, restart or force-restart your device, and verify Face ID is enabled under Settings > Face ID & Passcode.
  
  These straightforward fixes can restore seamless unlocking without a Genius Bar visit.

iPhone users may see "SOS Only" in the status bar when their device loses its cellular connection, allowing only emergency calls. Common home remedies include:

• Toggle Airplane Mode on and off via Settings or Control Center.


• Restart the iPhone to force a fresh network handshake.


• Install the latest iOS update under Settings > General > Software Update.

If the issue persists, check for carrier outages on your carrier's site or Downdetector, enable Data Roaming when overseas, and ensure each line on dual-SIM models is active under Settings > Cellular.
