Last weekend, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman and Drake Bennett published a comprehensive look into what went wrong with Apple Intelligence.

The piece details everything from years-long oversights to a deep misunderstanding of AI’s potential at the company’s highest levels. But more importantly, it also outlines what Apple is doing now to catch up. One of those efforts? A push into synthetic data.

According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will announce at WWDC on June 9 that it will open its Apple Intelligence AI models to third-party developers.

A new software development kit and related frameworks will allow apps to integrate and build upon the same large language models that Apple uses across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

After announcing WWDC 2025 in March, Apple has now provided more details on the schedule for the festivities.

Apple says the week will kick off with an Apple Keynote on June 9 at 10 a.m. PDT. The company has also invited members of the press to attend in person.

BLUETTI’s new Apex 300 rethinks what a portable power station can be, combining grid-level output with the flexibility to go fully off-grid.

Designed for home backup, RV living, and remote energy independence, it offers plug-and-play simplicity with serious capacity and speed. The Apex 300 impressively supports dual 120V and 240V output, ultra-fast solar charging, and a first-of-its-kind 12,000W bypass with 0ms UPS switchover.

It’s efficient enough to stretch runtime far beyond typical units and powerful enough to run everything from powering a fridge to recharging an EV. Whether you’re prepping for outages or planning your next escape, Apex 300 can change the way you think about backup power.

The season finale of the Apple TV+ hit comedy The Studio is set to release tomorrow. It won’t be long, however, until you’re able to fill that Seth Rogen void in your heart.

Apple TV+ has announced that season two of Platonic, its comedy starring Rogen alongside Rose Byrne, will debut on August 6.

Overcast, the hit podcast app developed by Marco Arment, has been updated today with a vastly improved Apple Watch app. This update follows Overcast’s major revamp last summer, which brought an all-new design in celebration of its tenth anniversary.

Customs data reveals that the import of iPhones and other smartphones into the US from China slumped to their lowest level since 2011.

While the more extreme tariffs have been “paused,” a 20% tariff imposed in March remains in place, and that’s believed to be behind a $1.8B fall in the value of smartphones being moved from China to the US …

Apple just announced the first new musical Peanuts special in more than three decades. The new instalment entitled ‘Snoopy Presents: A Summer Musical’ will stream on Apple TV+ on July 18.

The special hails from Apple’s deal with WildBrain, where TV+ is the streaming home of all classic Peanuts specials as well as new originals. A feature-length animated Snoopy movie is also currently in development.

WWDC 2025 is fast approaching, and it looks like iOS will once again be the highlight of the year. While there is some controversy about what exactly the system will look like when Apple unveils what’s purported to be the most significant visual change since iOS 7, a few leaks suggest the update could go well beyond just a new coat of paint.

Here are three iOS 19 features that will actually matter in your day-to-day.

Adobe is giving its Creative Cloud All Apps plan a new name – Creative Cloud Pro – and a hefty bump in pricing. The annual plan will increase to $799.99 while the monthly cost now breaks $100.

The company says users will get some new capabilities in return for the price bump, including unlimited access to some of the AI tools …

We’re not expecting to see Apple’s rumored folding iPad until next year at the earliest, but Huawei’s new MateBook Fold is a good match for reports of the form-factor.

The launch coincides with a new report saying that Amazon is also working on something similar, and that too is expected to launch ahead of the foldable iPad …

When Samsung unveiled the Galaxy 25 Edge, I noted that it was remarkably similar to what we’re expecting to see from the iPhone 17 Air.

I suggested that reviews of Samsung’s ultra-slim phone might provide clues to the likely reception of Apple’s ultra-slim phone – so how are things looking so far … ?

Today, the Google Translate app for iPhone and iPad was updated with support for the recent introduction of Translation as a customizable setting in iOS. Here’s how to set it as your default translation app.

There are two types of portable MagSafe batteries: ones designed for a weekend camping trip and ones designed to get you through a heavy single day. I recently picked up the BENKS ArmorGo, and it’s a great option for your everyday carry (EDC) kit. It’s slim enough to fit in your pocket but big enough to get the job done.

On the heels of Epic Games’ latest win over Apple in the Fortnite case, Spotify was quick to update the app with external payment links. At the time, the platform also confirmed it had broader plans to take advantage of the new court-mandated changes.

Now, a new update is live, and it is an especially welcome one for audiobook lovers.

If there’s one constant in the lustrum-long Epic Games v. Apple lawsuit, it’s that Tim Sweeney, Epic’s CEO, tends to… get creative when it comes to publicly interpreting and promoting the company’s legal wins.

Late last Friday, Epic once again tried to spin a limited courtroom victory into a public-relations campaign. Now, it has been granted a chance to make the antics fly in court.

At last year’s WWDC, Apple Intelligence certainly stole the show. I personally believe iOS 18 still would’ve been a very substantial software upgrade, even without a single AI upgrade.

One of the large non-AI upgrades in iOS 18, besides the fully redesigned Photos app, is actually a subtle yet massive win for user privacy. Here’s why.

Apple’s Sports app has evolved into a powerful way to track your favorite teams and leagues. In a new update this week, the app has added easier access to league standings, a new Sports Newsletter, and more.
