Apple to limit AI announcements at WWDC 25
We're officially one week away from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), where Cupertino will announce its latest operating systems. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman posted some additional details ahead of the event, which include Apple's limited AI announcement, macOS 26's moniker and a new gaming app.
WWDC 25 will mark one year since Apple formally announced Apple Intelligence (AI) features, which were severely delayed. Apple is expected to dial down on the AI announcements at this year's developers conference for obvious reasons.
Apple will reportedly open up its Apple Foundation Models on-device AI to third-party developers. It will support up to 3 billion parameters and allow devs to implement AI features inside their apps. Gurman detailed that Apple's AI models will support text summarization and auto-correct features.
iOS 26 will be one of the key announcements at the event. It's expected to arrive with a new battery power management mode, a revamped Translate app with Siri and AirPods integration.
The update will also feature a big visionOS-inspired look, which was previously dubbed one of the biggest visual overhauls in iOS history.
We're also getting AI features in Safari and Photos apps. Apple's long-awaited LLM Siri and enhanced Shortcuts app are not ready for preview.
Sticking to its California landmarks theme, Apple is expected to name macOS 26 - Tahoe after the famous Lake Tahoe. The update is expected to bring a new visual identity, featuring a visionOS-inspired look.
Apple is also allegedly offering a new centralized gaming app that will replace Apple Game Center. According to Gurman, Apple will ship its new gaming app across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS. The new app is billed as 'a central place to access games' and will also offer

Verizon agrees to change ads after T-Mobile complains to the NAD
The wireless business in the U.S. is so competitive that if you try to sneak something into an advertisement that might not be 100% verifiable, one of your rivals will swiftly take matters up with the National Advertising Division (NAD) industry watchdog. The NAD's job is to ensure that national ads are truthful and accurate. Recently T-Mobile spilled the beans on Verizon over the latter's ads mentioning its satellite texting service and the size of its network. The NAD decided that some of Verizon 's claims were supported but also recommended that the rest of the ads be made clearer so consumers can understand what Verizon is trying to say. For example, the NAD says that Verizon 's "conquering dead zones with satellite" commercials aren't misleading but the carrier should have pointed out that the feature works only on select new phone models and under certain conditions. T-Mobile also took umbrage with Verizon calling itself "America's largest network." That claim is legit if Verizon is talking about the number of postpaid subscribers. However, T-Mobile fears that some viewing the ad might think that it refers to the geographic reach of Verizon 's network or its coverage area. The NAD recommended that Verizon clarify what it means by "largest." In a press release, the NAD wrote that Verizon 's use of the phrase "largest network" was ambiguous as it portrayed different things to different consumers. The NAD also said that it might not be clear to viewers of the ad that the term "postpaid phone connections" refers to Verizon subscribers. Last year T-Mobile ignored the infamous "snitches get stitches" saying and complained to the NAD about claims made by Verizon in other commercials. The NAD last year asked Verizon to discontinue or modify its ads related to its satellite texting service due to the complaint filed by T-Mobile . Verizon says that it will comply with the new recommendations made by the NAD which is a typical response from a company accused of misleading the public with its television spots. While the NAD does not have the legal heft to impose fines or get companies to change their ads, most firms will listen to its recommendations due to the fear that the case could be referred to the FCC.
