Today's High-Yield Savings Rates for June 11, 2025: Up to 4.66%
Getting the best rate as a saver has been a little more difficult since the Federal Reserve started cutting its benchmark rate toward the end of 2024. Since the beginning of 2025, Fed officials have adopted a wait-and-see approach due to concerns about tariffs and economic conditions. The May announcement continues the pattern of keeping the rate on hold until there's more data on market responses to trade policy.
With the average savings account paying 0.42%, according to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), it might feel a little bleak for savers. However, high-yield savings accounts still offer a way to get a little more yield. The best high-yield savings account pays a much higher yield.
Indeed, the top rate from a national bank is 4.66% APY, according to DepositAccounts.com. Locally, you might be able to check with a credit union or community bank. For example, ConnectOne Bank in New York offers an APY of 4.00% if you have at least $2,500 deposited.

Battery manufacturer Powin files for bankruptcy months after landing $200M loan
Battery manufacturer Powin filed for bankruptcy on Wednesday. The Oregon-based company said it has more than $300 million in debt. The Chapter 11 filing will let the company continue operating while it restructures its debt. Powin manufactured grid-scale batteries using lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells from China. Powin had been searching for alternative domestic suppliers, but the supply chain wasn't sufficiently mature, Jeff Waters, the company's former CEO, told Bloomberg in April. The company laid off nearly 250 employees earlier this month, and just 85 remain, less than a fifth of what it started the year with. Alongside the bankruptcy filing, Waters was replaced by Brian Krane, Powin's chief projects officer. Powin was a survivor of the first clean tech boom over a decade ago. The company was taken private in 2018, and it received $135 million in growth equity in 2022 from investors including Energy Impact Partners, GIC, and Trilantic Energy Partners. More recently, it secured a $200 million revolving credit facility from KKR. In recent years, Powin had grown alongside the boom in grid-scale battery storage, ranked third in the U.S. in terms of installed capacity and fourth worldwide. The company did not say what spurred the sudden rise in debt, though given its reliance on Chinese LFP cells, tariffs may have played a roll.

Apple will let you play video in CarPlay with iOS 26
Apple's days of blocking you from watching video through CarPlay appear to be coming to an end. The upcoming iOS26 update will allow people to project video from their phones onto the center display of their vehicle through AirPlay. This will enable users to 'watch their favorite videos from iPhone right on their CarPlay display when they aren't driving,' Apple says. The new capability, which was first noticed by MacRumors, falls under the 'video in the car' category on Apple's developer site, alongside 'Automaker apps' and 'car keys.' The company invites automakers and developers who are 'interested in supporting CarPlay, CarPlay Ultra, AirPlay video, or car keys in your vehicle system' to join its MFi Program. Apple says that automakers will need to add support for CarPlay with AirPlay video, so it won't be available to everyone right away. Most automakers are a little risk-averse when approaching new tech that has the potential to be a distraction from driving, so they're likely pushing for assurances that videos can only be played while the vehicle is parked. They're also wary about handing over too much control of their screens to Apple, which is why Aston Martin is the only automaker that has come out in support of the company's new CarPlay Ultra. Apple says that automakers will need to add support for CarPlay with AirPlay video, so it won't be available to everyone right away. A spokesperson for Apple didn't immediately respond to questions about automaker support or hardware requirements. A lot of vehicles, especially EVs, already offer some version of video streaming or gaming capability while parked. Some automakers, especially those with Google's built-in Android-based operating systems, have started adding native YouTube apps to their infotainment displays. Tesla has a Theater mode that supports Netflix, Hulu, YouTube, and other services. Other car manufacturers with passenger or seatback screens support various video streaming services.

Trump Blocks California E.V. Rules in Latest Move to Rein In the State
President Trump signed joint resolutions of Congress on Thursday that block California's effort to phase out gasoline-powered vehicles, his latest attempt to reduce the power of the nation's most populous state. The Republican-led Congress passed the resolutions in May to reverse the Biden administration's approval of California's electric vehicle efforts. When signed by the president, joint resolutions revoking federal rules carry the force of law and are not subject to judicial review. Even so, the move is expected to draw an immediate legal challenge from California, as well as an executive order from Gov. Gavin Newsom directing state officials to find another path that would move the state's drivers toward electric vehicles and encourage companies to make them. Mr. Trump signed the resolutions at a time when he was battling California on several fronts, most notably in a dispute over immigration enforcement, in which the president has sent National Guard and Marine troops to Southern California in an extraordinary use of military force. On Thursday, Mr. Trump took aim at California's longstanding authority under the federal Clean Air Act of 1970 to set pollution standards for the state that are more strict than federal limits, and at Governor Newsom's ambition to fight climate change with an aggressive transition to electric vehicles. Repealing California's automobile policy is central to Mr. Trump's agenda of bolstering the production and use of fossil fuels in the United States, while eliminating policies that promote renewable energy and reduce planet-warming greenhouse gas emissions. Mr. Trump's action reversed a Biden administration decision that allowed the state to require that electric vehicles make up a progressively larger share of new vehicles sold in California until 2035, when the state would ban the sale of new gasoline-powered cars entirely.
