As reported before, Apple's annual Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC26) will take place from 8 to 12 June 2026. The event will once again be held primarily online, while also featuring a special in-person experience at Apple Park for selected developers and students on opening day.

Apple’s annual Swift Student Challenge continues to highlight young developers from around the world, and the 2026 edition is no different. This year, 350 winners from 37 countries were recognised for their creativity and technical skill in building Swift-based app playgrounds. Among them, two Malaysian students stood out for projects focused on artificial intelligence education and local accessibility.

We have reported about this before, regarding Tim Cook's retirement as Apple CEO, but it has been confirmed. The company already put the rumours to rest, confirming a historic leadership change, with Tim Cook set to step down as CEO and transition into a new role as Executive Chairman.

Apple reportedly considered removing the Grok AI chatbot from the App Store after the app was found to be generating sexualised deepfake images, including non-consensual content. The move came amid mounting pressure on Apple to act, as the company faced criticism for continuing to host the app despite widespread misuse. According to reports, Apple ultimately chose to intervene behind the scenes rather than immediately enforce a ban.

Today, Apple has officially announced that its annual Worldwide Developers Conference will return the week of 8 June 2026, running through 12 June. The event will once again be primarily online, with a special in-person gathering at Apple Park on opening day for selected developers and students. The keynote and Platforms State of the Union are setting the stage for a week of announcements focused on Apple’s software ecosystem.

Apple has announced plans to celebrate its 50th anniversary, marking five decades of innovation that have helped shape the modern technology landscape. The milestone commemorates the company’s founding on 1 April 1976, and highlights the philosophy of “thinking different” that has guided Apple’s products and culture ever since.

From refreshing the new MacBook lineup, Apple introduced its most advanced professional-grade silicon yet with the Apple M5 Pro and Apple M5 Max chips, designed to supercharge demanding workflows on the latest MacBook Pro models. Built on a new Fusion Architecture, the chips deliver significant boosts in CPU, GPU, and on-device AI performance while maintaining energy efficiency.

A few hours ago, Apple hinted that a major wave of product announcements is coming as early as this week, confirming that the company plans to unveil several new devices across its lineup in quick succession. This was further teased by Apple CEO Tim Cook on his X post, suggesting updates across Macs, iPads, iPhones and possibly other product categories.

We have been waiting for this for a really long time, but better late than never. Apple has made its hypertension notification feature available on Apple Watch in Malaysia, enabling users to receive alerts if signs of chronic high blood pressure are detected.

While many of you had a good 2025 wrap-up, Apple also announced that 2025 was a record-breaking year for its services division. The company said the year was defined by strong performance in key services ranging from the App Store and Apple Music to Apple Pay and iCloud, underscoring services as a major driver of its overall ecosystem.
