Apple 在 WWDC 2026 上會專注介紹「確定」能在今秋推出的功能？
此前因新版 Siri 等 Apple Intelligence 功能遲遲不出而飽受批評的 Apple，在下週的 WWDC 2026 上或許會選擇謹慎行事。根據彭博社 Mark Gurman 的說法，在這場預計將發表 iOS 19、macOS 16（也可能改名 iOS 26、macOS 26）等新版系統的活動中，Apple 會專注介紹「確定」能在今秋推出的功能。相比之前開出的「空頭支票」，這種做法雖然在初期未必吸睛，但至少不會傷及企業的信譽。
在這樣的前提下，Apple 如果想保持 WWDC 的話題度，可以選擇的一個辦法就是同時端出新的硬體，傳了很久的帶螢幕 HomePod 就是個不錯的選擇呢！

Apple Loop: iPhone 17 Air Questions, F1 Reviews, WWDC Expectations, iPad Pro Details
Taking a look back at this week's news and headlines from Apple, including iPhone 17 display questions, WWDC schedule, iPad Pro details, new WWDC hardware, iOS 26 updates, and the first F1 film reviews. Apple Loop is here to remind you of a few of the many discussions around Apple in the last seven days. You can also read my weekly digest of Android news here on Forbes. A flurry of discussion over the upcoming iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air displays started this week. The consensus has been that Apple will finally introduce its ProMotion technology to the base iPhone models, which would allow a variable refresh rate from 120 Hz down to 1Hz. That now looks to be in some doubt. Why would a decision not to introduce ProMotion be an issue? "Well, a bump up to 120Hz would give that smooth scrolling effect, so this is still definitely a step forward. However, ProMotion has a dynamic refresh rate, meaning the iPhone's battery life can be preserved when there's static content on the display, for instance, and the refresh rate is dialed right down to 1Hz. It's this capability which also enables the always-on display that's such a crowd-pleaser on the iPhone 16 Pro and other Pro models, for instance." (Forbes). Next week, we will see the annual Worldwide Developer Conference. Held at Apple's campus, the keynote session will be streamed on multiple platforms. Tim Cook will lead his executive team in a high-level look at Apple's plans for the following year. Forbes' contributor David Phelan looks at the broadcast details and what to expect. "If you're planning to tune in to Apple's World Wide Developers Conference for its keynote next week, you need to know when it's happening and how you can see it. Apple just launched a page on its YouTube channel so you don't miss a thing. Expected are details of new software for the iPhone (iOS 26, not iOS 19, as you might have thought), iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Apple TV and Apple Vision Pro." (Forbes). One of the expectations at WWDC is he next-generation of Apple Silicon. The M series has typically been used in the Mac platform, but also appears in the iPad Pro form factor. Last year, the iPad Pro debuted the M4 chipset nearly six months ahead of the Mac. The same looks set to happen with the M5, supported by an update to iPadOS to bring it more desktop-like features: "These changes should make the iPad a far more capable 'computer,' for users who want that. But like Apple's previous iPadOS upgrades, the company will undoubtedly still preserve the tablet's simple, one-app-at-a-time UI for users who prefer it. In other words, the iPad's versatility—serving both as a excellent tablet and capable laptop replacement—will be highlighted." (9to5Mac). It's been many years since new hardware debuted at WWDC, so it's unlikely that the M5 iPad Pro will be presented next week. In fact, there's almost nothing in the on deck circle for Tim Cook to pull a One More Things… except perhaps an AirTag? "WWDC is always focused on software, but there are hardware announcements at the conference in some years. Most recently, Apple unveiled the Vision Pro and updated three Mac models at WWDC 2023. In 2024, however, it was a software-only affair." (MacRumors). The modern WWDC is built around Apple's annual update cycle. And at some point, hardware is no longer supported. While many are dropping off thi list this year, it's worth noting that those in the relegation zone may not be getting the full upgrade; '...as happens often from year to year, Apple may technically support a device while still withholding new features from it. For example, many iPhones support iOS 18, but only a handful are compatible with Apple Intelligence. As a result, a whole host of iOS 18's most powerful features aren't actually available on the majority of devices that can run iOS 18." (9to5Mac). The newly renumbered iOS 26 will be the key software update at WWDC. Much of the update is expected to be built around a new user interface to bring all Apple's operating systems closer together in look and operation. How Apple addresses its lack of AI progress since WWC 2024 will also be a notable talking point. As for apps, there are going to be some significant changes in the smaller more specific apps: "And while much of the spotlight will probably shine on the visual overhaul, 9to5Mac has learned that Apple has also been quietly preparing a handful of enhancements to everyday apps like Messages, Music, Notes, and even CarPlay. Some of which could be announced as early as next week." (9to5Mac via Forbes). It's not just a big week for software, it's also a big week for Apple TV as its most ambitious film release arrives. The first reviews of F1—the imaginatively titled movie built around a fictional Formula 1 team—are in. Variety's Zack Sharf gathers up the critics thoughts: "#F1TheMovie is so freaking good. It has all the adrenaline, heart, pacing, story and character that completely fleshes out this movie into excellence. I can only imagine how much MORE I would love this movie if I was a fan of F1 racing! Maybe I am now?" (Via Variety) Apple Loop brings you seven days worth of highlights every weekend here on Forbes.

Apple, X, and Airbnb among growing number of Big Tech firms exploring crypto adoption
The crypto industry has long sought a 'killer app' to bring blockchains into the financial mainstream and, in stablecoins, it may have found one. Banks and fintechs are rapidly adopting stablecoins—digital tokens pegged to the value of the dollar—and now Big Tech firms are poised to do the same. According to sources familiar with the matter, Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google are all holding early conversations with crypto firms about integrating stablecoins. The sources, who spoke with Fortune on the condition of anonymity to discuss private business conversations, said the firms view adoption of the crypto assets as a means to lower transaction costs and optimize cross-border payments. Apple, X, Airbnb, and Google are not the only Big Tech names exploring stablecoins. Others include Meta, which is once again leaning into the payment technology after abandoning an ambitious earlier push that failed in the face of regulatory backlash. Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said the rideshare company is in the 'study' phase of using stablecoins for global money transfers at a Bloomberg conference on Thursday. The interest from Big Tech comes as stablecoins have attracted millions in venture funding and lawmaker attention as Congress weighs two bills that would regulate the asset class. And it follows a landmark acquisition from the payments giant Stripe of the stablecoin startup Bridge, which was a starting gun for many in Silicon Valley to take the technology seriously. '[Stablecoins] are this old idea, but finally I think we've got the right pieces coming together such that it's really coming into fruition,' said Haun Ventures partner Chris Ahn, who was an early investor in Bridge. X and Apple did not respond to requests for comment. 'It's pretty clear that this is probably one of the biggest upgrades to payments since the SWIFT network,' Rich Widmann, head of Web3 strategy at Google Cloud, told Fortune. He confirmed that the tech giant was exploring stablecoin integrations. 'While crypto payments aren't something we're focused on integrating into the platform in the near future, we're always looking at all aspects of payments for ways to improve our community's experience with it, including developments in digital assets and their use cases,' said an Airbnb spokesperson. While Big Tech has long been at the forefront of payments innovation, Silicon Valley has been hesitant to move into crypto due to the regulatory crackdown under the Biden administration. That changed with the re-election of Donald Trump, whose administration has embraced blockchain and instructed agencies to loosen oversight of the crypto industry. In the case of Airbnb, the short-term home rental platform has been in talks with crypto companies about potentially integrating stablecoins since the beginning of this year, according to four sources familiar with the matter. Accepting stablecoins as a form of payment would allow Airbnb to cut back on the transaction fees it pays processors like Visa and Mastercard, according to one crypto company executive. The vacation rental company has been talking with one of its payment processors, Worldpay, about using stablecoins, according to another crypto company executive. Worldpay announced last week that it would enable stablecoin payouts with its partner, the stablecoin infrastructure company BNVK. A Worldpay spokesperson told Fortune that the company 'does not comment on our clients.' Elon Musk's social media platform X has also recently been in touch with crypto companies about integrating stablecoins into its fledgling payments app called X Money, according to three sources. Musk, a former executive at the fintech giant PayPal, has long expressed ambitions about creating an 'everything app,' which would potentially include Venmo-like options for users to facilitate peer-to-peer payments. In January, X announced a partnership with Visa to create a digital wallet. X is currently in talks with payments processor Stripe to potentially integrate stablecoin payments, according to one source familiar with the matter. A spokesperson for Stripe declined to comment. Patrick Traughber, former head of consumer products and payments, led the discussions but left in January to work on the Sam Altman-backed crypto project World, according to two sources. Payam Abedi, a senior software engineer at X, is now leading the conversations, according to two sources. His public LinkedIn profile lists his title as 'Money at X.' Abedi declined to comment, and Traughber did not respond to requests for comment. Apple, which already has a massive presence in the payments ecosystem thanks to its Apple Pay system, has been in talks with crypto companies since January about integrating stablecoins into its payments infrastructure, according to four sources. One of these people told Fortune that these talks have included conversations with Matt Cavin, a senior director at stablecoin issuer Circle, whose public LinkedIn profile lists his job description at Circle as 'strategic partnerships in stablecoin payments.' Circle did not respond to a request for comment. While these three companies are in early conversations, Google Cloud is arguably the furthest along on stablecoin integrations. The tech giant has already accepted payments from two of its customers in PYUSD, PayPal's stablecoin launched in partnership with the stablecoin infrastructure company Paxos. 'We've invoiced the customer like we would normally invoice them. They've paid that bill the way they would normally pay it. But they've used stablecoins to effectuate settlement,' Widmann, the Google Cloud executive, told Fortune. Although Widmann declined to say whether other divisions within Google were exploring stablecoins, he did say that the stablecoin payments went through Google's central accounting office. 'There isn't a separate offshoot for stablecoin payments within Cloud,' he said. One crypto executive involved in the Big Tech discussions told Fortune that one major roadblock for companies will be deciding which stablecoins to integrate. Tether, which issues the leading U.S.-dollar-backed stablecoin, has had longstanding concerns over its approach to compliance, and its main competitor, USDC, faces an uncertain future ownership as its parent company, Circle, just went through the initial public offering process. Other options, such as PayPal's PYUSD face low adoption. The executive said that some Big Tech companies might consider launching their own stablecoin, though Democratic lawmakers have sought to limit this option. Though discussions for companies like Airbnb and X remain preliminary, Haun Ventures' Ahn said that the shifting environment toward crypto is making stablecoins increasingly attractive to Big Tech. 'Because they are bigger companies, they want to know that there is legitimacy here,' he told Fortune. 'That credibility is being provided, not just from the regulatory aspects of it, but they actually see fintech leaders like Stripe leaning into this and they think, 'I can trust this as well.''
