Alphabet's Google asked a U.S. appeals court on Wednesday to throw out a jury verdict and a judge's order forcing it to revamp its app store Play.

Google’s mission to make Android more like iPhone continues, at least when it comes to security and privacy, narrowing the gap. Android 15 moves the bar significantly, with a raft of updates including AI-based live detection of malicious apps and even cellular network defense. But there are also huge changes coming to Play Store.

Google has agreed to pay $700 million and to allow for greater competition in its Android app store, although the settlement still requires a judge's final approval.
