*Apple is making major changes to its EU App Store - What it means for users*

TheStreet's J.D. Durkin brings the latest business headlines from the floor of the New York Stock Exchange as markets close for trading Thursday, January 25.Full Video Transcript Below: J.D. DURKIN: I'm J.D. Durkin, reporting from the New York Stock Exchange. Stocks were in the green to close out today's session. The Dow closed up 243 points, the Nasdaq closed up fractionally, and the S&P closed just over half a percent higher. Investors are reacting to a stronger than expected GDP report – the U.S. economy grew at a 3.3 percent pace during the last few months of 2023, above Wall Street expectations. Investors are looking ahead to Friday’s PCE report. The Personal Consumption Expenditures will give investors a better picture of the state of rising prices in the U.S. In other news, Apple’s "walled garden" finally has a crack in it, as the iPhone maker announced significant changes to its App Store in Europe. For the first time in the company’s history, non-Apple affiliated developers will be able to list and distribute apps in Apple’s App Store. In addition to being able to list their programs, Apple is also slashing the fees it takes from developers. The move comes as European regulators continue to crack down on big tech companies. Europe’s Digital Markets Act, which takes effect in March 2024, is aimed at stopping anti-competitive practices implemented by big tech. It lists several big names, including Apple, Microsoft, Google, and Amazon, as "gatekeepers" - which restrict access to important platform services like advertising and search. Apple, as you might expect, has pushed back on having to conform to the new legislation. The company says the new rules could put users at risk for scams or fraud because apps that don’t go directly through the App Store are not reviewed by Apple itself. Apple declined to say whether or not the changes made in European markets will be introduced elsewhere. That’s it for your daily briefing. From the New York Stock Exchange, I’m J.D. Durkin with TheStreet.

*I think Fox News has really rotted a lot of people's brains.*

I moved to the US when I was a toddler 20 years ago. 6 years old. My Dad is an incredibly smart man. He got a PhD when he was like 24 years old. He's a tenured professor. But as soon as he moved to the US, he started watching Fox News. Now, every single day, my Dad calls me and goes on 20 minutes political rants using Fox News talking points. I just stay silent the entire phone call. Either playing video games or watching something on my computer while he gets everything out of his system. He talks the entire 20 minutes. He doesn't even notice I'm not even talking. I'm not even listening to be honest. Because if I do say something, that 20 minute rant turns into 3 hours. And no, I don't get a word in for those 3 hours. He talks the entire 3 hours. I think there are a lot of older people like this in this country. It's not healthy. submitted by /u/bobbdac7894 to r/GenZ [link] [comments]

*Target adds 1,000 new products shoppers have been begging for*

It's becoming increasingly tougher to be a large retailer these days. For one, almost everyone is held to the same standard as Amazon (AMZN) - Get Free Report, which in many cases offers same-day delivery and millions of products at reasonable prices. Related: Target just quietly released beloved new item (it's selling out fast) Just trying to match that kind of breakneck pace is enough to bankrupt some retailers. But there are other consumer demands unrelated to speed and selection. For instance, nearly every retailer now has a rewards program, and unless yours is compelling enough to join, customers may be hesitant to fork over yet another email address, phone number and slot in their wallet to hold a loyalty card. Target bulks up on popular new items Unless, of course, they shop at you frequently. Such is the case with Target (TGT) - Get Free Report, one of the most popular big box stores in the U.S. With the average shopper making at least 1.6 trips to a store per week, Target stands to gain a lot of this foot traffic as it offers many of life's essentials, from groceries to electronics. A customer walks by a display of holiday cards at a Target store on Dec. 14, 2023 in Daly City, Calif. Justin Sullivan/Getty Images But consumer taste is fickle, and it's not necessarily enough to offer everyday products at competitive prices. Especially at a store like Target, which is prized by shoppers for upselling them on novel items they never knew they needed. And it's clear from its most recent change up that Target is well-aware of its reputation as a haven for discovery. On Wednesday, the major retailer announced it will be adding over 1,000 health and personal care-related products to its inventory in an effort to capitalize on a growing wellness trend. Examples of some of these products include: Supplements or vitaminsHydration enhancersSkincareFunctional (healthier) beveragesColorful fitness outfitsWater bottlesExercise equipmentScentsProtein barsSkin and hair care Before the pandemic in 2019, the wellness industry was valued at approximately $4.9 billion worldwide. Less than five years later, however, that industry has added almost a full billion; wellness is now valued at about $5.6 billion as of late 2023. Some of this may have been popularized by wellness influencers and celebrities. Actress Gwyneth Paltrow has her own line of personal care products called Goop, which routinely makes headlines for its wacky and expensive products like super-powders and at home laser treatments. Kourtney Kardashian also recently released her own line of supplements and vitamins called Lemme. Target will stock items from both of these celebrity brands. "Wellness has been redefined to encompass a more holistic way of living — and it's also different for every person," Target executive vice president Rick Gomez said. "That's why Target is delivering like no other retailer, offering guests the ultimate destination to support their wellness journey, whether that's enjoying a non-alcoholic beverage from Sechey or stocking up on Bloom to get their daily greens. We're making it fun and easy for our guests to discover new products at a great value, with more than 1,000 new wellness products, starting at just $1.99." Another booming industry is beauty and skincare, thanks largely to social media apps like TikTok which are teaching audiences the importance of self-care and presentability at record young ages. In 2023 Target added thousands of beauty products to its shelves to keep up with demand -- most of which were under $10. It also has been opening hundreds of Ulta (ULTA) - Get Free Report beauty shops within its stores. Its ultimate plan is to heave nearly 800 shoppable Ultas within Target.
