WWDC 2025 keynote livestream: Watch Apple's iOS 26 announcements and more live
Focused on software, rather than all that shiny iPhone hardware, WWDC is expected to include some pretty big reveals, including Apple's latest iOS, which will reportedly skip its usual incremental naming convention to iOS 26 (we're currently on iOS 18.5) and possibly get a major rebrand.

Apple's 5th Ave store spray-painted to protest ‘climate hypocrisy'
A climate change activist was arrested after spray-painting Apple's 5th Avenue store as part of a protest against Big Tech's 'climate hypocrisy.' Protestors from the Extinction Rebellion environmental group staged a demonstration at the New York City storefront on Sunday, and one individual spray-painted 'Boycott' beneath the Apple logo on the building's entrance, along with 'Tim + Trump = Toxic.' In a press release posted after the demonstration, Extinction Rebellion called attention to the appearance of Big Tech CEOs at President Donald Trump's inauguration, including Apple's Tim Cook, Google's Sundar Pichai, and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg. Extinction Rebellion pointed out that the executives 'once claimed to be big supporters of the Paris Agreement' but are now 'backing an administration that's gutting environmental rules and funneling billions of dollars to fossil fuels.' A pair of Extinction Rebellion activists also stood inside the Apple store to call out the company's relationship with the 'tyrant' Trump administration. 'Apple claims to support climate action. Apple claims to be good for the environment, and they continue to support climate denial, and ICE raids on your community,' one of the protesters shouted. 'Tim Cook lies and people die.' The protestors followed up with a chant: 'Dump Trump, Apple!' Extinction Rebellion, which has staged protests in New York City in the past, brought up the electricity demand that's expected with the growth of AI in the tech industry, too. Last month, Google's annual sustainability report revealed that its carbon emissions grew 11 percent last year to 11.5 million tons of pollution, and energy usage rose at its data centers. Microsoft is similarly moving further from its climate goals as it invests more in AI, which is estimated to consume more power than Bitcoin by the end of this year. 'In 2023, Tim Cook called combatting climate change one of the most urgent priorities of our time,' Miles Grant, an Extinction Rebellion spokesperson, said in the press release. 'Fast forward to 2025, and he's donating to Trump—the man leading the charge to roll back all climate progress. They've betrayed their customers and the planet at the most critical moment in human history.' Apple didn't immediately respond to The Verge's request for comment.

Stop data brokers from selling your information online
Your personal data is a highly valuable commodity. Companies often treat it like a resource to be mined and traded. In practice, this means that everything you do on the Internet, what you search, what you click, where you shop, feeds a vast industry. Many people feel they have little control over this. In fact, a Pew Research survey found that roughly six in ten Americans say it's not possible to go through daily life without having data collected about them. We may use "free" services, but we usually pay in data. As the U.S. Federal Trade Commission explains, "The things we do throughout the course of our day give businesses access to information about our habits, tastes, and activities. Some might use it to deliver targeted ads to you... Others might sell or share that information". Let's examine how your data is collected in everyday life, who is buying and selling it, what happens to it afterward, and, most importantly, what you can do to protect yourself. Sign up for my FREE CyberGuy ReportGet my best tech tips, urgent security alerts, and exclusive deals delivered straight to your inbox. Plus, you'll get instant access to my Ultimate Scam Survival Guide - free when you join my Almost everything we do online or even offline can generate data. Here are some common sources: 1) Social media platforms: Social networks like Facebook, Instagram, or Twitter collect a wide array of data from your posts, likes, location check-ins, connections, and more. Social media companies harvest sensitive data about individuals' activities, interests, personal characteristics, and purchasing habits. In short, even casual sharing on these sites adds to a detailed profile about you. 2) Online shopping and loyalty programs: Every time you shop online or use a store loyalty card, data about your purchases is recorded. Retailers track what you buy, when, and how (with coupon or card). Even offline purchases using a rewards card feed into databases. Over time, this builds a detailed purchasing history linked to your identity. 3) Browser fingerprinting: This technique collects bits of information about your browser and device (such as which plugins you have, screen size, time zone, etc.) to create a unique "fingerprint." That fingerprint can identify you uniquely across sites, even without cookies. 4) Mobile app identifiers and SDKs: On phones, each app often reports usage data back to its developer or advertising partners. For example, iOS and Android assign a unique advertising ID to your device, and apps can read that ID and log your activity. Many apps also include third-party SDKs (software development kits) from analytics or ad companies that silently collect data on your in-app behavior and send it off for profiling. 5) Cookies and tracking pixels: A cookie is a small file your browser saves from a website. It lets the site recognize your device later. A tracking pixel (also called a web beacon) is a tiny, invisible image embedded in a webpage or email that reports back when you view it. Together, cookies and pixels allow companies to "remember" your visits, log which pages you view, and build a record of your browsing even after you leave a site. Data brokers are companies whose entire business is buying, aggregating, and reselling personal information. They collect data about you from many places and bundle it into profiles. This industry is massive (estimated at around $200 billion per year) with thousands of firms globally. Big-name brokers include companies like Experian, Acxiom, Epsilon, and many lesser-known "people search" sites. Using sources like public records, social media, data breaches, and data brokers assemble extensive dossiers on individuals. They collect ordinary details such as names, addresses, dates of birth, phone numbers, email addresses, as well as sensitive traits: gender, marital status, education level, occupation, income range, hobbies, and interests. Brokers may even buy data about your health (like what drugs you purchase) or political views gathered from public voter records or social media activity. After building these profiles, brokers sell or license them to anyone who will pay. Typical customers include Marketers and Advertisers, Insurers and Lenders, People Search and Data Services, Employers and Background Checkers, and more. Once your data is in the hands of others, it's used to profile and segment people in ways that can affect what we see and the opportunities we receive. Profiling simply means grouping people by common traits or habits, such as "young urban pet owners" or "people likely to buy a new car this year." These profiles are then used to serve you targeted ads and offers. Targeted advertising can feel creepy or manipulative. For example, you might notice ads for products you only briefly mentioned in a private message or web search, because your data was shared with dozens of advertisers behind the scenes. Every time you load a page with ads, your data profile is broadcast to companies through automated ad auctions, and they bid to show you ads. Beyond advertising, there can be more serious consequences such as identity theft and stalking. Broader profiles mean more tempting targets for criminals. People-search websites, which get data from brokers, can show your address, phone number, family members' names, and even your Social Security number. This information can be used to steal your identity or harass you. There are many ways to take control of your personal data, several of which are listed in the section below, but the most effective is to consider a data removal service. While no service promises to remove all your data from the internet, having a removal service is great if you want to constantly monitor and automate the process of removing your information from hundreds of sites continuously over a longer period of time. A personal data removal service can help you remove all this personal information from the internet. It has a very clean interface and will scan 195 websites for your information and remove it and keep it removed. Check out my top picks for data removal services and get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web by visiting Get a free scan to find out if your personal information is already out on the web: You can take steps to reclaim some control over your data, and you don't have to be a tech expert to do it. Here are some practical tips and resources: 1) Review privacy settings: Take a few minutes to explore the privacy and security settings on the services you use. For example, limit who can see your social media posts, disable unnecessary location-sharing on your phone, and consider turning off ad personalization on accounts like Google and Facebook. Most browsers let you block third-party cookies or clear tracking data. The FTC suggests comparing the privacy notices of different sites and apps and choosing ones that let you opt out of sharing when possible. 2) Use privacy-friendly tools: Install browser extensions or plugins that block ads and trackers. You might switch to a more private search engine (like DuckDuckGo or Brave) that doesn't log your queries. Consider using a browser's "incognito" or private mode when you don't want your history saved. Even small habits, like logging out of accounts when not in use or using a password manager, make you less trackable. 3) Be cautious with personal data: Think twice before sharing extra details. Don't fill out online surveys or quizzes that ask for personal or financial information unless you trust the source. Create separate email addresses for sign-ups (so marketing emails don't go to your main inbox). Only download apps from official stores, and check app permissions. 4) Opt out of data broker lists: Many data brokers offer ways to opt out or delete your information, though it can be a tedious process. For example, there are sites like Privacy Rights Clearinghouse or the Whitepages opt-out page that list popular brokers and their opt-out procedures. The FTC's consumer guide "Your Guide to Protecting Your Privacy Online" includes tips on opting out of targeted ads and removing yourself from people-search databases. (Keep in mind you may have to repeat this every few months.) You may not be able to completely escape the data economy, but you can limit its impact on your life. By using privacy tools, being mindful of what you share, and demanding transparency, you make it harder for companies to treat your personal information as a free-for-all. Each small step, whether it's tweaking settings, clicking "opt out," or simply pausing before hitting "submit" on a form, helps you regain control. Ultimately, pushing for accountability from businesses and lawmakers is also part of the solution. After all, privacy is a fundamental right that deserves strong safeguards for everyone.

Apple appeals EU's $580 million fine on digital markets act violations
Apple appealed a $580 million fine from the European Commission which claimed that the company broke the rules controlling how app developers could communicate with users on Monday. Photo by John Angelillo/UPI | License Photo July 7 (UPI) -- Apple on Monday appealed a $580 million fine from the European Commission, which claimed that the company broke the rules controlling how app developers could communicate with users. The fine "goes far beyond what the law requires," the company said in a statement on Monday. "As our appeal will show, the EC is mandating how we run our store and forcing business terms which are confusing for developers and bad for users," Apple said. The European Commission previously fined Apple $580 million for a breach of the EU Digital Markets Act in April. Apple changed its EU app store policies in June, the company introduced a commission structure of either 5% or 13% on top of a 2% user acquisition fee for developers depending on if they want their app to show up in App Store search suggestions, promotional material or are able to receive automatic updates. The company believed this structure made it confusing for consumers and developers. As there isn't another app store with this structure. The appeal is focused on pushing back on the expansion of the Digital Markets Act due to the "unlawfully expanded steering".
