Apple announces new 9/11 documentary
Apple is set to mark the 20th anniversary of 9/11
The tech giant has that it will commemorate the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks with the release of a new documentary in September.
9/11: The President’s War Room will be released in partnership with the BBC and is set to focus on the 12 hours that followed immediately after the first plane hit the World Trade Center.
The new film, directed by Adam Wishart, will feature never-before-heard testimonies with President George W. Bush, Vice President Dick Cheney, Condoleezza Rice (national security advisor), Colin Powell (secretary of state), and many more.
The exclusive, never-seen photos
Apple’s new documentary will also feature nearly 200 never previously published photographs of the aftermath of the attacks.
The special will air in September in commemoration of the 20th anniversary of 9/11, available on the BBC One channel before coming to Apple TV+.
Elsewhere the show will debut on Apple TV+ exclusively
Film and television focused on national tragedies are a grim business, with the promise of offending someone affected hiding around every corner, but they’re not wholly uncharted territory for streaming services. Apple also has its own interest in snatching up glossy, awards-friendly documentaries.

EU launches antitrust probe into Meta over WhatsApp AI policy
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
EU probes Meta’s WhatsApp AI chatbot policy for potential antitrust violations affecting third-party developers and competition.
The European Commission has opened an antitrust investigation into Meta over WhatsApp’s new AI chatbot policy. The inquiry examines whether the policy restricts third-party AI developers from accessing WhatsApp’s business tools, potentially breaching EU competition rules.
Meta updated its terms, effective January 2026, which have already barred new AI providers since October 15. The rules prohibit AI developers from using WhatsApp as their primary service, affecting a number of AI companies looking to integrate with the platform.
The EU’s competition commissioner is considering interim measures to ensure fair competition. If Meta is found in violation, it could face fines of up to 10% of its global annual revenue.
