This week a decision in Europe means that Uber will be treated as a transport not a technology company by regulators.

We look at what it could mean for the company's future plans, its listing prospects, and for the rights of Uber drivers.

Meanwhile, Apple admits to slowing down processing speed on many iPhone models after users upgrade to the new iOS 11 operating system.

Finally, an overview of the current state of augmented and virtual reality; Magic Leap unveils its new headset the Lightwear amid news of job losses at a local AR/VR pioneer.
