Everything we learned during Apples WWDC 2025 keynote
Mashable / 11h
Apple’s 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference keynote was sparse on the kind of groundbreaking announcements it’s usually known for. With no major hardware reveals until September and no pressure to wade into undercooked tech categories like AI or augmented reality, the Silicon Valley giant went back to basics. The message was clear: iOS needs an update. That was the crux of this year’s keynote, w

Mashable / 11h
YouTube quietly loosened its video moderation rules a few weeks before Donald Trump was sworn in as president a second time, reports the New York Times . The new rules encourage the site’s moderators not to remove videos that break YouTube’s code of conduct — which bans nudity, graphic violence, hate speech, and incendiary misinformation — if the videos are considered to be in the public interest





Apples big Siri update still isnt ready for primetime
Mashable / 11h
Apple kicked off its 2025 Worldwide Developers Conference with a glossy flourish: a sweeping UI redesign called Liquid Glass for the newly christened iOS 26. It’s translucent, fluid, and "expressive," Apple says. Nearly every new feature is now stitched together with some form of Apple Intelligence or, in some cases, OpenAI’s ChatGPT . However, amid all the name-dropping of LLMs and neural networ

The Phone app in macOS 26 is another baby step towards a cellular Mac
Engadget / 11h
While it still remains more of a dream than an obvious stop on Apple ’s product roadmap, the company’s updates in macOS Tahoe 26 offer new evidence that Apple could one day sell Macs with cellular connectivity. Sure, the biggest takeaway from WWDC 2025 will probably be the new Liquid Glass design language the company is sprinkling over all of its operating systems, but based on the addition of a

WWDC 2025 has just wrapped up, and it was one of the best keynotes in recent memory. While there were sweeping changes across Apple's entire range, from the already-lauded iPadOS update to iOS 26 , as TechRadar's resident wearables expert, it's my beat to cover watchOS 26 . And it's been a pretty big year for Apple's smallest device. There have been major changes to the Watch's user interface, as





I’m finally getting my most-wanted Apple Music upgrade, but I can’t believe AirPods still didn’t get this obvious update
Latest from TechRadar US in News,opinion / 12h
I feel strangely numb. For years now – and I mean years – I have been advocating for Apple Music to have some kind of auto DJ feature that can beat-match your songs in a playlist. This was my most recent excuse to harp on about it. I first heard of this kind of feature in DJ apps a long, long time ago (I think Algoriddim's Djay was the first one I was aware of, but things go foggy back then), and

iOS gains so many new features with each version update that it's impractical to condense everything into a single keynote.
