Apple's WWDC 2025 may not be big on AI announcements- Report
Apple's annual developer event, WWDC 2025, is just days away, which means we will finally get a glimpse of the new generation operating system. As we head close to the event, iPhone users and fans have greater hopes for major AI upgrades, after facing a major delay with Siri. However, new reports suggest that the iOS 26 (AKA iOS 19) may not be big on AI announcements. This may come as a piece of disappointing news to many who are eagerly waiting for an AI upgrade. This may also raise questions about Apple's AI innovation and showcase how far the tech giant is compared to competitors. Know what we can expect for this year's WWDC, which is kicking off on June 9, 2025.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, WWDC 2025 on June 9 may not include major AI announcements. This year, Apple is expected to announce some basic on-device features, which may not be as exciting. Gurman said, 'The conference may be a letdown from an AI standpoint.'
However, Apple could finally give developers a chance to get their hands on Apple's on-device foundation models, bringing useful features. While this may come as a major change, but is not as big as cloud-based systems by Google and OpenAI. Therefore, the WWDC may include some new Apple Intelligence upgrades, but it is expected to be underwhelming. Gurman also says that this could be Apple's big 'gap year', and we could expect some major announcements at WWDC 2026.

Apple is reportedly working on a new AI-powered battery management mode which may adjust power consumption based on device usage. Therefore, iPhone user could get extended battery life, without hampering their day-to-day performance. Reports also suggest that the Translate app may get integrated into AirPods and Siri. Lastly, we may get some AI features integrated into apps like Safari and Photos. Apple is also working on advanced Siri capabilities with LLM, although it's not expected until 2026.
Apple is also rumoured to be working on a revamped version of the Shortcuts app, ChatGPT-like web search capabilities, and Project Mulberry. These features are unlikely to be showcased at the WWDC this year, considering last year's promises did not work out well for Apple.

Meta becomes latest big tech company turning to nuclear power for its AI needs
Washington: Meta has cut a 20-year deal to secure nuclear power to help meet surging demand for artificial intelligence and other computing needs at Facebook's parent company. The investment with Meta will also expand the output of a Constellation Energy Illinois nuclear plant. The agreement announced Tuesday is just the latest in a string of tech-nuclear partnerships as the use of AI expands. Financial details of the agreement were not disclosed. Constellation's Clinton Clean Energy Centre was actually slated to close in 2017 after years of financial losses but was saved by legislation in Illinois establishing a zero-emission credit program to support the plant into 2027. The Meta-Constellation deal takes effect in June of 2027, when the state's taxpayer funded zero-emission credit programme expires. With the arrival of Meta, Clinton's clean energy output will expand by 30 megawatts, preserve 1,100 local jobs and bring in $13.5 million in annual tax revenue, according to the companies. "Securing clean, reliable energy is necessary to continue advancing our AI ambitions," said Urvi Parekh, Meta's head of global energy. Constellation, the owner of the shuttered Three Mile Island nuclear power plant, said in September that it planned to restart the reactor so tech giant Microsoft could secure power to supply its data centres. Three Mile Island, located on the Susquehanna River just outside Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, was the site of the nation's worst commercial nuclear power accident in 1979. Also last fall, Amazon said it was investing in small nuclear reactors, two days after a similar announcement by Google. Additionally, Google announced last month that it was investing in three advanced nuclear energy projects with Elementl Power. US states have been positioning themselves to meet the tech industry's power needs as policymakers consider expanding subsidies and gutting regulatory obstacles. Last year, 25 states passed legislation to support advanced nuclear energy, and lawmakers this year have introduced over 200 bills supportive of nuclear energy, according to the trade association Nuclear Energy Institute. Advanced reactor designs from competing firms are filling up the federal government's regulatory pipeline as the industry touts them as a reliable, climate-friendly way to meet electricity demands from tech giants desperate to power their fast-growing artificial intelligence platforms. Amazon, Google and Microsoft also have been investing in solar and wind technologies, which make electricity without producing greenhouse gas emissions.
