Meta skylights 11% on higher price target as Muse AI climbs the App Store

Meta Platforms stock jumped about 11% after Wells Fargo raised its price target from $640 to $796, with investor optimism fueled by Muse AI downloads topping the Apple App Store and strong AI momentum. The move comes as Meta reshapes its AI strategy under CEO Mark Zuckerberg, including a revamped AI lab led by Alexandr Wang and new Muse models (Spark and assistant). Meta is prepping for the Meta Connect event to outline ongoing AI and wearables initiatives, even as its stock has underperformed peers over the past year but surged about 30% in the last three months.

Meta climbs on AI optimism as Muse AI tops App Store downloads

Meta Platforms’ stock surged more than 10% intraday after Wells Fargo raised its price target to $796, bolstered by AI milestones (Muse Spark, Muse assistant) and Muse AI’s top ranking on Apple’s App Store, as Meta doubles down on its AI strategy ahead of the Meta Connect event, signaling a renewed growth narrative after last year’s AI delays and heavy infrastructure spend.

Fortnite Returns to the App Store as Epic Bets on a Global App-Store Shake-Up

Fortnite has returned to Apple's App Store worldwide (excluding Australia) as Epic Games proclaims the beginning of the end of the Apple Tax in the ongoing Epic v. Apple case, arguing regulators worldwide will force lower fees and fairer terms; Epic’s court victory last year paved the way for the comeback, which mirrors Fortnite’s return to Google Play earlier this year and signals Epic’s continued push to open app stores to more competition.

Apple pressured Grok to curb sexual deepfakes or risk removal from App Store

Apple reportedly told NBC News it contacted X and Grok after complaints about nonconsensual sexual deepfakes and demanded a plan to improve content moderation; while X was deemed largely in compliance, Grok remained out of compliance at the time, prompting a behind‑the‑scenes push that eventually led to Grok’s submission being approved after improvements, though safeguards remained imperfect.

Apple Removes AI Vibe-Coding Tool Anything From App Store

Apple has pulled the AI-driven vibe-coding app Anything from the App Store, saying it violated Guideline 2.5.2 on code execution; Apple had already started blocking updates to vibe-coding apps and has previously targeted Vibecode and Replit. Anything, which lets users generate and preview apps via natural-language prompts, had raised $11 million and was valued at $100 million, but it can no longer operate on iOS under Apple’s enforcement.

"Delta: The Top Nintendo Emulator for iOS Devices"

Delta, an all-in-one emulator supporting various vintage Nintendo platforms, has been approved and is now the top free app on the Apple App Store. Developed by Riley Testut, it offers support for multiple Nintendo platforms and various controllers, as well as features like save states, synching between devices, custom controller skins, and cheat support. While the app is free to download, users need to supply their own game ROMs, and it's recommended to grab a copy sooner rather than later in case of potential shutdown by Nintendo.

"Apple Removes NES and Game Boy Emulators from App Store Due to Violations"

A new NES emulator called Bimmy briefly appeared on the Apple App Store before being taken down by its developer out of fear, despite being described as for homebrew games and supporting ROMs provided by players. The developer emphasized that Bimmy had no ads or tracking, but the recent crackdown on emulators by Nintendo, including legal action against other emulator developers, likely contributed to their decision to pull the app.
