WWDC 2025 live: Updates from Apple's keynote including new iOS, iPadOS, Apple Intelligence updates and more
But instead of various different numbers indicating the generation of each platform like before, this year might see the company adopt a unified year-based naming standard that would result in things being called iOS 26, iPadOS 26, watchOS 26 and such as opposed to iOS 19 and watchOS 12 as anticipated.

Prediction: This Stock Could Join Nvidia, Amazon, Alphabet, Microsoft, and Apple in the $2 Trillion Club By 2035
Visa, a leading financial services company, is still some ways away from a market cap of $1 trillion. The company's significant growth prospects should lead to superior returns during the next 10 years. 10 stocks we like better than Visa › In 2018, Apple became the first publicly traded company to have a $1 trillion market cap. Since then, several more have joined it at that level and some of them have even exceeded the $2 trillion mark. Today, that exclusive club comprises Nvidia, Microsoft, and Apple -- all of which are actually above $3 trillion -- as well as Amazon and Alphabet. Though payment network giant Visa (NYSE: V) hasn't even cracked the $1 trillion valuation ceiling yet -- its market cap is $680 billion as of July 11 -- I think it could join the $2 trillion club by 2035. The financial services powerhouse would need a compound annual growth rate of 11.3% during the next decade to hit that milestone. That would be no easy feat, but here's why the company could pull it off. What happens when you swipe (or tap) a credit or debit card at a point-of-sale system? Transactions of this kind are typically processed in seconds, but what goes on behind the scenes is fairly complex. Visa is at the center of it all, helping merchants connect with issuing banks and, effectively, request the data that shows whether a consumer has the money or available credit to cover the transaction. If they do, the transaction is accepted; otherwise, it is rejected. Every time a transaction is routed through its payment network, Visa pockets a small percentage of the total. According to some data, in the U.S. last year, there were an average of 1,781 credit card transactions per second, about 107,000 per minute, more than 6 million per hour, and almost 154 million per day. Of course, Visa isn't the only company in this industry, but it is the largest -- and the scale of credit and debit card usage in the U.S. should give investors an idea of the company's potential. There are nearly 5 billion cards in circulation connected to the Visa network, and during the 12 months ended March 31, it supported about 316 billion transactions and $16.1 trillion in payment volume. The company's dominance in the payments segment translates into excellent financial results. Its revenue, earnings, and free cash flow have all grown at healthy clips during the past decade. Meanwhile, it has maintained gross margins of about 80% and net margins in the vicinity of 50%. For a company of its size, that's outstanding. Visa can operate with such strong margins because it has already set up its nearly ubiquitous global payment network. Additional transactions don't meaningfully increase its cost of goods sold. In short, Visa has an excellent business that has performed exceptionally well in the past. That's no guarantee of future success, but there are good reasons to expect Visa to continue along the same path. From its fiscal 2014 through its fiscal 2024, Visa's revenue grew at a compound annual rate of almost 11%, going from $12.7 billion to $35.9 billion. It's net income measured on a GAAP (generally accepted accounting principles) basis increased at a compound annual rate of 13.8%, going from $5.4 billion to $19.7 billion. The long-term trend away from cash transactions and toward digital ones helped drive these results, but Visa still has ample room for growth. In the next decade, it could perform similarly well as it captures more of the significant share of payment volume that is still handled via cash and checks. The company's biggest competitor, Mastercard, notes that there are still about $12.5 trillion worth of cash and check transactions made annually worldwide. That's before we point out that Visa will also benefit from the increasing use of e-commerce, an area where cash and checks are hardly viable options for most transactions. That should provide Visa with ample growth fuel through the next decade and beyond. True, competition from Mastercard is a risk, as are potential economic troubles that would lead to lower consumer spending activity. However, these challenges hardly change Visa's prospects. The company can perform well despite stiff competition thanks to its powerful network effect. And while macroeconomic headwinds could sap Visa's financial results, its business is built to survive such conditions and continue thriving. Visa is well-positioned to deliver the long-term growth it needs during the next decade to become a $2 trillion company by 2035. Long-term investors should seriously consider purchasing the company's shares and holding them for the long haul.

Time's running out on the 29 best Amazon Prime Day Apple deals of 2025
Featured Apple Prime Day dealApple AirTags, 4-Pack: $65 $99 This deal is constantly changing at the time of publishing, with Amazon getting it back in stock after running out. Get it while you can! I hope you've got your favorite Apple products in the cart ready to check out, because these Prime Day deals end in mere hours. As I've texted friends, family and even colleagues, this is one of the very best chances to get Apple items at the prices that make far more sense, such as the AirPods Pro 2 at $149 — a record low. We've also got new low prices for the best iPads and good deals on our favorite MacBooks. Oh, and Amazon finally has the AirTag four-pack deal back in stock after selling out earlier. There's only one problem: This plethora of deals can be hard to sift through, and many sales aren't actually that great if you scrutinize them. This is where I come into play, as I've been covering Apple deals for every Prime Day ever, starting in 2015. I've also been reviewing Apple's products along the way, giving me the experience of knowing which Macs, AirPods and iPhones you should be looking for and which you should just skip. Here are the best Amazon deals on Apple products, the only ones you should consider this Prime Day. Apple AirTag It never hurts to have a spare AirTag handy for tracking your stuff, especially when they're on sale only a single dollar above their all-time low price. Read our review Apple AirTag, 4-Pack This deal is constantly in flux, as Amazon's had trouble keeping this four-pack of trackers in stock. Fortunately, both Amazon and Best Buy have the trackers now, but that could change our review Hatalkin AirTag Holder, 4-Pack You pretty much need an AirTag holder to actually affix Apple's tracker to most of your stuff, and this mega-popular set gets you four of them for just over $5 right now. Apple 20W USB-C Power Adapter As someone who loses stuff constantly, I find that you can never have enough power bricks. This tiny-but-speedy Apple charger has been my go-to for years, and you can pick up an extra for close to its lowest price right now. Anker Nano 30W USB-C Charger Block We love this fast and compact Anker charging brick, which has an even higher charging wattage than Apple's and is currently cheaper than we've ever seen it for Prime Day. It comes in a bunch of sweet color options too. Eveready CR2032 Lithium Coin Batteries, 10-Pack No, these aren't Apple-brand batteries, but they are the batteries you'll need to replace in the AirTags once a year. And this Prime Day discount makes them a perfect purchase for anyone who owns AirTags or is buying more. Apple USB-C Woven Charge Cable It never hurts to have a spare charging cable handy, and this popular option (which we've used a ton) gets you a sturdy woven design and a comfortable 6.5 feet of slack for a lowest-ever price.

Anker 140W 4-Port USB-C Laptop Charger Most laptop power adapters are only designed to power your laptop, but this four-port power adapter from trusted accessory brand Anker means you'll be able to charge a MacBook, iPad and iPhone and even an Apple Watch at the same time, provided you have cords for each. It even ncludes a braided USB-C cable for the first device. Oh, and it's at its best price ever. Twelve South HiRise 3 Deluxe Magsafe Charging Stand I've used plenty of MagSafe chargers over the years, but there's only one I actually love.

These oft-discounted favorites just hit their lowest price ever for Prime our review Apple AirPods 4 Even as an AirPods Pro snob, I was incredibly impressed by the AirPods 4's Pro-like sound quality and immersive spatial audio. They're a very good pickup at this lowest-ever price. Read our review Apple AirPods 4 With ANC The noise-canceling version of the AirPods 4 are an excellent AirPods Pro alternative for folks who prefer less of a tight seal. They offer shockingly good ANC for a set of open earbuds and are a great deal at this lowest-ever price. Read our review Apple AirPods Max Apple's pricey over-ear headphones sound great, and they've just dropped back to $399 in Starlight. However, keep in mind that prices keep fluctuating on these luxe our review Apple Watch SE (2nd Gen) The Apple Watch SE is an excellent pickup if you just need the basics. It's just $20 shy of its best-ever price and a great sub-$200 value.

Better yet, it's a buck short of its lowest price ever for Prime Day. Read our review Apple iPad Mini (2024) The iPad Mini is my go-to for bingeing YouTube, reading comics and catching up on TV shows on the go, and the speedy 2024 model with A17 Pro is currently at the lowest price we've seen for it.

iPhone 17 could feature 'significant' changes to the Dynamic Island — what we know
The iPhone 17 may not be expected to get major changes to its front camera cutout, but according to a new rumor it could be the start of a "significant evolution" that'll take place over the next few years. We've already heard some rumors the Dynamic Island could be redesigned on the iPhone 17. Now leaker Majin Bu has corroborated those claims in a new interview, stating that "Apple appears committed to making it more functional and integrated" Bu added that the changes "could mark a step forward in device interaction," but they're keeping all the details to themselves for the time being. Which is a little frustrating, but it's hinted that we may be hearing more details about the changes in the near future. The Dynamic Island will hit its third birthday later this year, and is probably due some kind of upgrade. It makes sense that the Dynamic Island would be undergoing some changes at some point. The iPhone 18 is expected to hide all the remaining Face ID sensors underneath the screen, leaving a simple circular cutout for the camera. Meanwhile the iPhone 20 is supposedly the first iPhone to offer an under display selfie camera — offering a true uninterrupted full screen. With no real cutout to go with it, the Dynamic Island is going to need to undergo some changes. So it makes sense that Apple might pre-empt the change and start getting the feature ready for the changes. Plus the Dynamic Island will hit its third birthday later this year, and is probably due some kind of upgrade. Though it isn't clear what kind of changes we could expect right now, I'd hope that any changes do come with some extra functionality. Naturally we won't find out for sure until the iPhone 17 launch event, which is now expected to happen during the week of September 8. In the meantime you can check out all the latest news and rumors in our iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max hubs.
