Apple to limit AI announcements at WWDC 25
We're officially one week away from Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), where Cupertino will announce its latest operating systems. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman posted some additional details ahead of the event, which include Apple's limited AI announcement, macOS 26's moniker and a new gaming app. WWDC 25 will mark one year since Apple formally announced Apple Intelligence (AI) features, which were severely delayed. Apple is expected to dial down on the AI announcements at this year's developers conference for obvious reasons. Apple will reportedly open up its Apple Foundation Models on-device AI to third-party developers. It will support up to 3 billion parameters and allow devs to implement AI features inside their apps. Gurman detailed that Apple's AI models will support text summarization and auto-correct features. iOS 26 will be one of the key announcements at the event. It's expected to arrive with a new battery power management mode, a revamped Translate app with Siri and AirPods integration. The update will also feature a big visionOS-inspired look, which was previously dubbed one of the biggest visual overhauls in iOS history. We're also getting AI features in Safari and Photos apps. Apple's long-awaited LLM Siri and enhanced Shortcuts app are not ready for preview. Sticking to its California landmarks theme, Apple is expected to name macOS 26 - Tahoe after the famous Lake Tahoe. The update is expected to bring a new visual identity, featuring a visionOS-inspired look. Apple is also allegedly offering a new centralized gaming app that will replace Apple Game Center. According to Gurman, Apple will ship its new gaming app across iOS, iPadOS, macOS and tvOS. The new app is billed as 'a central place to access games' and will also offer Source (paywall)

Apple's inaugural AI-powered smart home hub may launch in 2025: Report
Apple is reportedly planning to launch its smart home display device by the end of this year, according to a new report by Bloomberg. The device, which is expected to function as a central hub for smart home products, was initially slated for a spring 2025 launch but has now been delayed. Bloomberg had previously reported that the delay may have been caused by challenges in developing new capabilities for Siri, which is expected to serve as the primary interface for the device. Apple's AI-powered version of Siri, originally planned for rollout with iOS 18.4, has been delayed, likely due to internal bugs discovered during testing. The new Siri is now expected to debut with the next iOS cycle instead. Apple AI Smart home hub: What to expect The smart home display is expected to serve as a HomeKit hub, allowing users to control other smart home devices directly from a single interface. According to reports, the device will feature a six-inch square touchscreen, thick bezels, and a front-facing camera for video calls. It may also come with a rechargeable battery, built-in speakers, and optional mounting accessories, including a wall bracket and a stand with integrated speakers. In terms of software, the display will reportedly feature a touch interface that blends elements from watchOS and iPhone's StandBy mode. It is expected to run a custom operating system and offer access to the App Store, enabling use of apps for media playback, web Browse, news, and more. The device is also said to support FaceTime, and offer integration with Notes, Calendar, and other core iOS services. Siri integration is anticipated to be central to the experience, allowing users to issue voice commands for controlling smart devices, launching apps, or accessing information. Other smart home devices: What to expect Beyond the smart home display, Apple is also said to be working on a robotic tabletop device, as per Bloomberg. This experimental product is expected to feature an iPad-like screen mounted on a robotic arm, capable of adjusting its position based on user behaviour and surroundings. The device would reportedly use AI to sense who is interacting with it, determine what they're doing, and identify who they're speaking to—enabling it to respond in a context-aware manner by moving or reorienting itself accordingly. According to the report, this robotic device is considered a major priority within Apple and could launch within the next one to two years.

WhatsApp Chats Will Soon Get Meta AI-Powered Wallpapers From Users: Here's How
Last Updated: WhatsApp chats will soon get the ability to to have AI wallpapers thanks to Meta and the update should be there in the coming months. WhatsApp has used the power of Meta AI to offer a slew of features for its users and soon we could see another interesting use of AI to personalise chats. Yes, Meta AI will have the option to create AI wallpapers for the chat interface with your friends and family. You can simply use text prompt to get a new AI wallpaper generated and use it as the background wallpaper for your chats. WhatsApp AI Wallpapers For Chat: How It Works The details about this feature come via WaBetaInfo in a post this week, where the tipster says the new tool should be available in the coming months. If you are bored with the green or black coloured chat background, the Meta AI feature upgrade will surely get you excited. The good thing about AI wallpapers is that you can create anything using text prompts and even modify them later with new colours, objects or even animals in the background. For all these years, WhatsApp has limited the wallpaper options to the regular colours which eventually changed to more themes and bubble colours last year. Now, it has Meta AI to build on these features and give people more options to personalise the chats for all contacts or their close friends. Meta AI has branched out into a standalone app which not only supports all these features but also lets you talk to the AI chatbot similar to ChatGPT 4o voice mode and Gemini Live. Having said that, WhatsApp is extremely popular across the globe and more AI features will only make it more appealing to more users. The platform is also looking to secure all the AI tools with private computing like Apple AI which could include these features in the near future. This means the platform will allow you to create the group and gradually add people by sharing the group link or invite with them. While this may not sound like a big deal, the messaging app is clearly making it easy to make groups and eventually bring members to them. First Published: May 07, 2025, 08:35 IST

Apple next-gen chips leak and reveal big plans to turbo charge Apple Intelligence
Table of Contents Table of Contents Apple M6 and M7 chips Apple AI server Apple is on the M4 chip right now, with the M5 expected at the end of this year, yet leaks have now shown the M6 and M7 are on their way. That's not all. Apple is also allegedly working on a new AI server farm processor that could turbo charge your Apple Intelligence experience. Recommended Videos According to a report by Bloomberg, from sources familiar with the situation, Apple is working on multiple chips intended for use in future iPad and Mac models. The AI variant could be the most exciting though as this suggests Apple is going all in to make sure its Apple Intelligence is super powered enough to compete with the likes of OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google Gemini. Apple M6 and M7 chips They may yet be a ways off but Apple is reportedly already working on these next generation of chips. Presumably this is all part of the move towards AI where the chips will need to work in a new way to keep up. The M6 chip is codenamed Komodo while the M7 is being called Borneo. There is also reportedly a system-on-chip for Mac that's being called Sotra. Unfortunately, at this early stage, those names are all that is being given away and in Apple style that will likely have no meaning related to the chips themselves. Apple AI server Apple is also reportedly working on its own AI chip which could have as many as six times more CPU and GPU cores than the M3 Ultra. This could be the chip that helps to super charge Apple Intelligence, while giving Apple more control over its AI future. Of course Apple and AI has been in the news a lot of late with many varied reports about who it will partner with. It's a fast moving set of changes and presumably Apple is covering a lot of bases.
