AI on phones feels too much like homework — and Apple should use iOS 26's redesign to fix that
Tech companies, especially the ones that make and sell phones, have been telling us how important AI is for several years, and offering a range of new AI-powered features that promise to make our lives easier. But despite promising that, it seems a bunch of those companies forgot the most important thing about new features — making sure people can actually find and use them. As someone who's spent a great deal of time reviewing new phones, nothing irritates me more than being told about new AI features and then having to do a bunch of research to figure out how to access them. Even Apple, a company that has made its own AI suite a lot more transparent, is guilty of this in some regard. And since iOS 19 (or iOS 26) is set to redesign the entire Apple ecosystem, WWDC 2025 is a chance for the company to make AI feel less like homework and transform it into something a lot simpler and more intuitive. I'll preface this with an admission that not all AI features are difficult to find. If it involves going through some kind of voice assistant, like Google Gemini or Siri, then AI capabilities are literally only a voice prompt away. Similarly AI photo editing features, like Google's Magic Editor, have long been available in photo gallery apps, like Google Photos or Apple's equivalent. But at the same time, considering all these features have been around for quite some time, their location and functionality have already been ingrained into our collective memories. Plus, once you know about one of those features, you can often find similar ones in the same spot. Or in the case of voice assistants, physically ask it about the kind of things it can do. There's also a bunch of AI working in the background that the user doesn't actually need to initiate. All that processing that happens to your photos? AI has a hand there, just as it does in helping translate foreign languages for you. We've also seen AI applied to software that helps manage the battery and displays, to help phones run more smoothly and efficiently. None of this is the flashy AI that gets promoted in keynote speeches or TV commercials. It's the boring stuff that makes your phone run and perform better, without you even realizing what's going on. But if a company is trying to add some fuel to the AI hype train, the focus ends up on the new and showy AI features that look and sound good. The problem is phone makers haven't put much consideration into helping users find the darn things. One good example I've found in this area are specialist translation apps — ones that do more than Google Translate. Samsung's Interpreter Mode is the one I've noticed this with most recently, offering the ability to translate two-way conversations happening in two different languages. I know that it exists, Samsung has talked about it at great length, but looking at a Galaxy S25, it's nowhere to be seen. It's not in the app drawer, nor the home screen, nor is it one of the default apps in the Quick Settings menu. Instead you either have to use the search bar to find Interpreter Mode, or change the Quick Settings features to include it — which isn't ideal when you only have 6-8 slots to choose from. The more I think about Galaxy AI features Samsung has talked about, the more I realize that I also have no idea where they are. The same is true for Apple Intelligence, Google Gemini and the countless other AI features that have been added to smartphones in recent years. I made a point of criticizing this in my review of the Xiaomi 15 Ultra, but the problem is a lot more widespread than that — and it's like phone makers don't realize this is a complete hindrance. In the days when new AI features weren't all that common, this probably wouldn't be so bad. Users get the time to get to grips with new features as they arrive, and by the time the next big software update comes around it'll be second nature. But the sheer number of new AI features being added to phones, and with little communication on how they work, makes this much more difficult. The distinct lack of official guidance on how to use new AI features is definitely getting in the way of me wanting to use them — and I doubt I'm the only one who feels that way. If phone makers really care about us using AI features more regularly, then this needs to change. I've often spoken about my severe lack of interest when it comes to using AI on phones, and a big part of that is due to the fact it's usually so difficult to find any of the new features. Back in the day, Apple would proudly declare that "it just works," with die-hard fans parroting that line for several years. But when your new smartphone comes with homework, it certainly isn't passing the intuitiveness test with a particularly good grade. Apple's not the only party guilty of this, but with WWDC set to majorly shake up how Apple software works, be it on iPhone, Mac or another Apple product, it's in a position to try and help users use Apple Intelligence without doing a thesis-load of research first. Who knows, maybe making AI actually intuitive can help make up for all its AI missteps over the past year.

Buy FuboTV Now or Wait Until the Disney Deal Is Done?
FuboTV is being merged with Disney's Hulu streaming service. FuboTV's first-quarter results weren't as strong as they may have seemed. The company's subscriber count was weak. 10 stocks we like better than fuboTV › FuboTV (NYSE: FUBO) made headlines in early 2025 when it agreed to merge with Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Hulu streaming service. This is a very big deal for FuboTV, and the stock has risen dramatically since the agreement was announced. Should interested investors buy now before the deal is done, or does it make more sense to wait and see what happens? FuboTV says it has "a global mission to aggregate the best in TV, including premium sports, news and entertainment content, through a single app." In the U.S. market, the product it sells is "a sports-first cable TV replacement product." Basically, it is competing with the major content providers with an aggregated cable replacement for so-called cord-cutters. That's not exactly a bad plan, but it is still a fairly big project to undertake since companies like Disney, among many others, have created compelling streaming products of their own. And cable providers are increasingly offering their services through the web, as well. Notably, even if a consumer uses FuboTV, they still need a connection to the internet to make it work. Cable and phone providers are still how large numbers of consumers reach the web. Disney is a media titan with massive content franchises. Hulu was an early effort to break into the streaming world, with multiple original partners. At this point, Hulu's partners have stepped back, preferring to start their own streaming services. That includes Disney. Merging FuboTV with Hulu, with Disney ending up retaining a 70% stake in the company, seems more likely to benefit Disney than Hulu or FuboTV. That's because FuboTV could end up being a mere vassal of Disney. In that scenario, Disney could sell content to FuboTV with costs so high that FuboTV barely makes a profit. Another scenario to consider is that Disney simply sells its stake in FuboTV, leaving FuboTV with a larger business, but one that is still at a strategic disadvantage as content makers push their own streaming products. The interesting thing is that FuboTV didn't have a great first quarter in 2025. For example, the company reported GAAP earnings of $0.55 per share in the first quarter. But if you remove one-time items, the company actually lost $0.02 a share. That was an improvement from an adjusted loss of $0.14 a year earlier, but FuboTV is still a money-losing venture. Worse, FuboTV's subscriber base declined year over year in the first quarter. The first-quarter showing suggests it isn't entering into the Hulu pairing on the strongest footing. Meanwhile, it is taking on a large business that it will operate separately from its FuboTV operation. Complexity will dramatically increase for FuboTV, given that Hulu is a larger streaming business. So execution will be very important, noting that it is entirely possible that FuboTV is biting off more than it can chew. That's highlighted by the company's first-quarter subscriber issues. Could Hulu combining with FuboTV be a massive win for everyone involved? Sure, that's one possible outcome, but there are negative outcomes that could transpire as well. Disney's large ownership stake could leave FuboTV beholden to Disney, placing the desires of other shareholders in a distant second place. FuboTV's not-so-great first-quarter subscriber numbers could be a harbinger of trouble to come even as it bulks up its subscriber count with Hulu. And Disney could just be attempting to offload a business that it doesn't want before the business really starts to show signs of weakness. Tiny FuboTV taking on the much larger Hulu service does sound exciting. But for most investors, it probably makes more sense to wait and see how the new FuboTV performs following the transaction before buying. After FuboTV's big stock price jump, it seems like there's a lot of good news already priced in here.

Serbian Defense Technology Leader PR-DC Partners with American Military Contractor Raven Advisory to Establish Joint Drone Manufacturing Venture in the United States
Belgrade, Serbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 7, 2025) - PR-DC, Serbia's leading multicopter drone manufacturer, and Raven Advisory, a North Carolina-based defense contractor founded by former Green Beret special operations veteran Sheffield Ford, have announced the formation of a strategic joint venture to manufacture military-grade drones in the United States. The new entity, named 'USAT,' will produce PR-DC's advanced multicopter drone systems for military applications across global markets. [ This image cannot be displayed. Please visit the source: ] PR-DC To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: The partnership agreement was signed in Belgrade last week by PR-DC co-founder and president Zeljko Mitrovic and Sheffield Ford, founder and CEO of Raven Advisory. They were accompanied at the press conference by Milos Petrasinovic, co-founder and aerospace engineer at PR-DC. This marks PR-DC's first major publicly confirmed international business arrangement and represents a significant expansion of both companies' operational capabilities. Under the terms of the joint venture agreement, PR-DC will retain full ownership of its intellectual property, including all proprietary components, solutions, and software technologies. The Serbian company will continue its existing manufacturing operations in Serbia while simultaneously establishing production capabilities in the United States through the new partnership. Raven Advisory will provide comprehensive financing and establish manufacturing, testing, and demonstration facilities at their 2,700-acre private training facility in North Carolina. The American company will also serve as the exclusive sales and distribution partner for PR-DC's military drone solutions, not only within the United States but across international markets. The joint venture will initially focus on manufacturing PR-DC's flagship IKA-BOMBER drone system, which has been specifically designed to meet U.S. Department of Defense standards and NATO ammunition specifications. Zeljko Mitrović, the main visionary behind PR-DC, said: 'PR-DC has established itself as a premier developer and manufacturer of advanced multicopter drone systems, with a particular focus on military applications. The company's flagship product, the IKA- BOMBER, represents a breakthrough in universal drone platform design. Built with a modular concept, the system can be adapted for numerous applications and mission requirements. The drone is engineered to NATO standards and utilizes predominantly Western-sourced components, ensuring compatibility with international defense procurement requirements. PR-DC's commitment to excellence is demonstrated through its comprehensive testing protocols, including cold weather testing, vibration testing, and extensive field trials. The company's engineering team has invested significant time and resources in identifying and resolving potential issues through rigorous testing and retesting procedures, ensuring reliability in demanding operational environments.' Sheffield Ford of Raven Advisory noted that what sets PR-DC apart from competitors is its ability to deliver not just hardware, but complete operational solutions. As he said, while many companies can produce individual components, PR-DC has demonstrated the capability to deliver integrated systems that can accurately deploy multiple munitions from aerial platforms under real-world conditions: 'Raven Advisory as a partner in this joint venture and our subsidiary division, Raven Autonomous Technology, which specializes in research and development of autonomous systems, including drones, will further develop PR-DC solutions on our dedicated 2,700-acre facility with allocated airspace approved by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for testing of both civilian and military drone applications. This facility provides comprehensive capabilities for training, testing, research, development, and integration of drone systems. The FAA approvals allow Raven to conduct advanced testing scenarios that would be impossible at most other facilities, providing a significant competitive advantage in system validation and customer demonstrations.', said Ford. The joint venture will begin operations this year with comprehensive demonstrations of PR- DC drone systems at Raven's North Carolina facility, targeting both U.S. Department of Defense officials and international clients. These demonstrations will showcase the systems' capabilities in realistic operational scenarios, leveraging Raven's extensive testing infrastructure. - end - About PR-DC: PINK RESEARCH C DEVELOPMENT CENTER (PR-DC) is a privately held military-licensed aerospace company based near Belgrade, Serbia, with an office in Washington, D.C.
