California girls track star gets disqualified from state championships over celebration
The California state track and field championships were under increased scrutiny because of a transgender athlete who participated in and won the girls' high jump and triple jump events. A separate controversy flew underneath the radar, and it had to do with the varsity girls 400 finals. Sophomore Clara Adams, of North Salinas High School, finished in second place in the prelims and came off the starting line quickly in the finals and ran her way to a first-place finish, or so she thought. Adams celebrated with her father after winning the race. She took a fire extinguisher from her father and sprayed her shoes with it, alluding to her being on fire, the Monterey Herald reported. Clara's father, David, said the celebration was done away from opponents. "She wasn't disrespecting anyone," he told the outlet. The California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) determined that Adams' celebration was unsportsmanlike, and Adams' state championship was taken away. She was also disqualified from the meet and lost an opportunity to compete in the 200-meter race as well. David Adams told the outlet that the CIF's decision was protested and said he felt like the disqualification was "racially motivated." Clara Adams is Black. The decision was upheld. "It's a very unfortunate event," Alan Green told the Monterey Herald. "We are all heartbroken. Clara ran an incredible 400 race and is the fastest 400-meter girl in the state. "She was trying to have some fun at the finish line after the 400. It was interpreted as unsportsmanlike. What an incredible season and run. It's unfortunate." Clara Adams said afterward she felt like she was "robbed" and was "in shock." Fox News Digital reached out to the CIF for comment. Adams finished in first place in the 400-meter dash at the Central Coast Section Championships and finished first in three races at the Pacific Coast Athletic League Masters Meet last month.

iPhone WWDC Wishes: What We Want to See in iOS 19 Next Week
We're just a week away from Apple's Worldwide Developer Conference, when we get the first look at what the company has been cooking up during the past year for iOS 19, the software that runs the iPhone. Until June 9, though, CNET's experts have their own ideas about what Apple should be working on -- and hopefully announcing. While iOS 18 brought some useful new features to all iPhones, like RCS messaging, and Apple Intelligence to newer iPhones, we're still taking bets on what Apple will include in iOS 19. Reports suggest Apple is planning a significant redesign of the iPhone OS, changing everything from icons, apps, menus and more. But CNET's writers and editors have a few ideas we'd like to see in the upcoming OS. Some things we've asked for in the past, like customizable lock screen controls, have come to fruition, so maybe we'll hit the mark again this year. Here are some of the features and changes we hope Apple includes in the upcoming iOS 19 software. iOS 19 Changes Apple Needs to Make iOS 19 Changes Apple Needs to Make Click to unmute Video Player is loading.

This modal can be closed by pressing the Escape key or activating the close button. iOS 19 Changes Apple Needs to Make Bring split screen to the iPhone Constantly switching between two apps can be annoying. James Martin/CNET Add a native split screen. It's been available on Android phones and the iPad for years. But on iOS I still have to run my calculator and budget tracking note in two separate windows. -- Mike Sorrentino Start a workout right from my iPhone A workout without an Apple Watch is still a workout, right? James Martin/CNET I'd like the ability to start an outdoor workout from the Fitness app on my iPhone (like I can do in Strava or Polar). That way if I forget to wear my Apple Watch or I don't have one, I can still record my workout. The Apple Watch uses heart rate data to calculate move minutes but I don't see why the iPhone can't give me credit for an actual workout using other indicators like distance/pace on a run. -- Vanessa Hand Orellana No more green bubbles, please Bickering between greens and blues sounds like a Game of Thrones plotline. James Martin/CNET I'm overjoyed Apple added RCS messaging with iOS 18, but I'm going to dream big here: I'd love it if texts with Android users weren't still green! While it's great to be able to finally send high-resolution media and see typing indicators with folks who aren't also using iMessage, it's still far too easy for iPhone users to scoff at anyone turning their text thread green. End the pettiness once and for all! -- Abrar Al-Heeti An easier way to manage unused apps Unused apps still take up precious memory on your iPhone. James Martin/CNET I have more apps on my iPhone than I'll ever use, after years of installing things to try out and then forgetting about them. Shunting everything into the App Library helps get it out of mind, but that's the app version of keeping a box of cables you think you might need some day. So I'd like a way to clean up apps, similar to how you can identify large apps in Settings > General > Storage. Let me see when I installed them, the last time I used them and be able to delete the ones I no longer want. I know this sounds fiddly but the thought of going through them all manually is exhausting, so that will never happen. -- Jeff Carlson Searchable clipboard manager for all your copy and paste needs A clipboard manager could remember multiple things you copy so you can paste them at a later time. Apple/CNET I want a clipboard manager in iOS 19. The iPhone has a single copy and paste option, meaning if you copy something, and then copy something else, that first thing you copied is lost. For iOS 19, I'd love to see a searchable clipboard manager, one that has a history of all the things I've copied in the last hour, day, week or even month. And if I paste something, I'd like to see multiple options that I can choose from appear right at my fingertip. -- Nelson Aguilar More customization options for all screens Can I move the flashlight control around on the lock screen, please? James Martin/CNET I want more lock screen, home screen and Control Center customization options, please. I'd like to place my lock screen controls elsewhere on the screen so I don't accidentally open any control -- including, yes, my flashlight. Same thing with the home screen. I appreciate being able to place apps anywhere as long as they are within Apple's oppressive grid that locks our apps into little boxes. If you have large icons -- like I do -- there's an entire empty row at the bottom where it looks like apps or folders can go there but they can't. Let us breathe the air of freedom, Apple! Please, for the love of everything good, let me move the scroll bar on the right side of the Control Center. I keep hitting it when I open the Control Center and it takes me to a page I don't intend to be on, which makes it frustrating to use. -- Zach McAuliffe Long press, double click and more action button triggers The action button is a small, useful tool already but it could be so much more. Jeff Carlson/CNET Now that the Action button is on more iPhones, please add support for triggering different shortcuts with multiple presses. In its current setup, I can set the Action button to trigger one action at a time. By default it can toggle between turning on the ringer and putting your iPhone into silent mode. But there are a number of other options for it like being able to open the Camera app and take a photo or make an elaborate automation in the Shortcuts app like to use it to order coffee from Dunkin'. But the Action button could do so much more if Apple would add support for multiple input clicks. Like it could be a toggle for ringer/silent mode with a single long press, but do something else (like turn on/off the flashlight) with a double-long press. I think this would add so much functionality to the button and as a result open it up to even more people taking more advantage of it. -- Patrick Holland Better Log video editing tools You can already shoot Log videos on your iPhone, now we just need better editing tools for those videos on the device. Apple I want iOS 19 to add better editing tools for Log video. The ability to shoot Log footage directly on the iPhone is amazing for enthusiastic filmmakers like me but it can only be edited by transferring it off of your phone to an iPad or MacBook. I'd love to see Apple bring deeper editing tools to be able to add cinematic color grades to your Log footage directly on your iPhone. -- Andrew Lanxon Intelligently organize photos by event in the Photos app Manually creating albums can take up a lot of time and effort. Apple/Screenshot by James Martin/CNET Okay, we're all glad that in iOS 18 Apple improved the Photos search by adding AI image recognition to actually bring up all the images of your cats. It slightly makes up for the questionable revamped layout of photos and albums that confuses me to this day. I'd love it if in iOS 19, the Photos app had a new way to view photos: in a timeline intelligently organized by event. Say you go to the park for a birthday and have a bunch of photos clearly from the same occasion -- the app prompts you to confirm they're all connected, asks for a title and, boom, event logged. Then I could look at a vertical timeline of logged events from the past few months or years, all of which can be searched if I can't quite remember, say, when I last went to the park. Yes, I can do this manually by making albums, but it's the kind of fastidious labor I just can't bring myself to keep up with. That's what I want AI to do for me. -- David Lumb Simple volume controls across the iPhone Apple, please keep the volume settings I want. Jeff Carlson/CNET Sometimes it's the small changes that can help make for a smoother experience. I want to see Apple clean up volume controls. If I set the volume to a certain level, I want it to stay at that level for all applications. Sometimes the settings can vary depending on what you're doing. Too often I come across the problem of lowering my volume to prepare to listen to something -- but surprise! -- the volume is loud again because I put in headphones and it keeps the louder setting I used the last time I listened to music in my headphones. It just leads to unnecessary frustrations, and makes users feel like they don't really have control of their devices. -- Bridget Carey For more on Apple, here's what to expect from WWDC 2025 and our thoughts on the iPhone 16 Pro and iOS 18 months after their launch.

WWDC 2025: How to Watch Apple's June 9 Keynote
Apple is set to hold its annual summer software jamboree, WWDC, next week at its Apple Park HQ in Cupertino, California. CNET will be on the ground to bring you all the news as it happens, but you can watch the event online from anywhere in the world. The company has already revealed the lineup for its developer conference, which is scheduled to take place from June 9 to June 13, with a mix of online and in-person sessions. The company has scheduled a special event for the first day, from which it will stream its keynote and platforms state of the union address. This is the point in the year when Apple traditionally unveils major software updates, including the latest versions of iOS, iPadOS and WatchOS, for the iPhone, iPad and Apple Watch respectively. This is exciting whether or not you're planning to invest in a new Apple product this year, as the new software will also roll out to most of the company's most recent devices, breathing new life into your iPhone for another year or so. As always, iOS 19 likely won't arrive later in the year (probably after the annual September iPhone event), but WWDC will let us know what to expect, as well as potentially giving us insight into new Apple Intelligence tools. In the meantime, check out our iOS 19 wish list of features that CNET staff hope will be coming with this next big software update. How to watch WWDC The June 9 keynote is scheduled to take place at 10 a.m. PT and will detail "groundbreaking updates coming to Apple platforms," according to a press release. During the keynote, we expect to see the company announce its plans for iOS 19 and other software updates across iPad, Mac, Apple Watch and Apple TV. The platforms state of the union will take place on the same day at 1 p.m. PT, offering "a deeper dive into the new tools MacOS, TVOS, VisionOS and WatchOS." You can watch both events online via the Apple TV app and the Apple YouTube channel. What is WWDC? WWDC is a conference for the developers who create the apps we use across our Apple devices, from our iPhones to our MacBooks, to learn about new tools and features they can take advantage of that year. However, the event also garners significant attention from beyond the developer community, since it tells us all we need to know about what to expect from the next generation of software updates that will come to our devices. The online event is free to attend for all developers, and anyone who is curious can tune into Apple's keynote. But those who want to attend the June 9 event at Apple Park in person need to apply online. In the days following, students and developers will attend sessions where they can engage more deeply with the changes to Apple's platforms, which will allow them to ensure their apps are fully compatible with and that they take advantage of those changes. "We're excited to mark another incredible year of WWDC with our global developer community," said Susan Prescott, Apple's vice president of worldwide developer relations. "We can't wait to share the latest tools and technologies that will empower developers and help them continue to innovate." What to expect at WWDC 2025 If rumors are to be believed, Apple's operating systems are set for a dramatic design overhaul this year. According to Bloomberg, iOS 19, iPadOS 19 and MacOS 16 will all feature new icons and menus, which will also change how our devices are controlled and navigated. The aim is reportedly to create a more cohesive style across platforms that will be reminiscent of VisionOS, the operating system designed for the company's mixed-reality headset. But that's not all -- Apple will likely use WWDC to outline the progress it's made in the field of AI. "I'm looking forward to seeing more details about Apple Intelligence and the new features that will become available," said Francisco Jeronimo, VP of devices at IDC. "This is critical for Apple, as Google Gemini and the Android vendors have taken significant steps forward with their AI offerings." Last year at WWDC 2024, Apple announced iOS 18 and Apple Intelligence -- as well as updates to Siri that have yet to materialize.
