On this episode of Stock Movers: - Aon (AON) shares drop ahead of its investor day. The company said management will reaffirm the firm's 2025 guidance across all key financial metrics. Its 1Q earnings missed consensus on most key metrics including adjusted operating margin. - Intuitive Surgical (ISRG) shares fall after Deutsche Bank cut the robotic-surgery company to sell from hold citing 'significant' risks to its Instruments & Accessories business. - Synchrony Financial (SYF) shares rise following a report that Walmart credit cards will once again be issued by the financial services firm.

For the first time, the same interface will work across the company's products, executive Alan Dye said Monday during a video presentation from Apple's headquarters in Cupertino, California.

Apple redesigns its operatings systems with ‘Liquid Glass'

Apple's iPhone may not be getting a significant AI upgrade, but it is getting a fresh coat of paint. As are Apple's other operating systems. At Monday's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC 25), the company announced a refreshed user interface called Liquid Glass, which features shiny, reflective, and transparent visual interface elements that give the software a more 'glassy' look and feel. The design refresh is inspired by Apple's VR headset, the Vision Pro. It unifies the iPhone's design and that of Apple's other devices, with the interface built for the spatial computing headset. This change could also hint at a potential future that could see Apple's operating system and software extended to other surfaces besides phones, tablets, and watches — like AR glasses, perhaps. Introduced at WWDC by Alan Dye, Apple's Vice President of Design, the Liquid Glass interface represents the biggest visual update to iOS, the software powering the iPhone, since the move from the original skeumorphic design to a flat design style in iOS 7. With skeumorphism, the idea was to translate real-world objects to the touch screen — like a Notes app that looked like a yellow legal pad. Flat design upended this visual language, opting instead for simple shapes, clean lines, a minimalist user interface, and more colorful icons. Over time, iOS's flat design evolved to have more glossy and semi-translucent layers, like a Control Center that mimicked a frosted pane of glass.

In addition, it will respond in real time to your content and your input, creating a 'more lively experience,' Dye said. The Liquid Glass display is translucent and will behave like glass in the real world. The color of the screen is informed by your content and will adapt between light and dark environments. In addition, alerts appear from where you tap, context menus expand into a scannable list when you scroll tap. Screenshot The design applies to both the system experiences like the Lock Screen, Notifications and Control Center, as well as the app icons. The company says the new icons will look like they've been crafted with multiple layers of liquid glass and will come in light mode, dark mode and a new clear mode.

Banking Groups Urge US Treasury to Improve Security After Email Hack

Financial-sector trade groups are urging the US Treasury Department to bolster its cybersecurity in response to hackers intercepting the sensitive emails of more than 100 bank regulators for more than a year. In a letter sent Monday to Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, the associations urged federal regulators to strengthen their data-protection standards and inform organizations they oversee about security breaches affecting their data within three days. They also suggested that regulators stop requiring banks and other financial institutions to submit sensitive information through online portals or email.
