In lieu of a chattier Siri<\/a><\/span>, Apple (AAPL<\/a><\/span>) is seemingly back to leaning on its design bonafides to push its next big software updates.<\/p>\n

The iPhone maker is preparing significant design revamps for iOS 19, iPadOS 19, and macOS 16, Bloomberg<\/a><\/span> reports, citing unnamed sources. The shakeups are reportedly due sometime later this year, and they could help bridge some gaps between Apple\u2019s devices. Across Apple laptops and phones operating systems remain quite different, despite steps taken in recent years to connect and homogenize its screened gadgets, such as by adding mirroring<\/a><\/span> and iPhone-app support<\/a><\/span> to Macs. <\/p>\n

As the 25th anniversary of the dot-com bubble burst<\/a><\/span> approaches, it\u2019s not crypto bros or meme stock enthusiasts keeping Wall Street veterans up at night. It\u2019s the AI gold rush that has them experiencing d\u00e9j\u00e0 vu in technicolor. While Bitcoin\u2019s wild ride and GameStop\u2019s revenge of the retail traders have provided plenty of speculative drama, it\u2019s generative AI that\u2019s triggering the most visceral flashbacks to 2000’s tech implosion.<\/p>\n
