It’s reported that Apple plans to open its on-device AI models to developers at WWDC 2025, aiming to boost app creation and expand Apple Intelligence features.

Barton Crockett, Rosenblatt Securities senior analyst, joins 'Squawk Box' to discuss the AI battle between Apple and OpenAI, future of AI-powered devices, OpenAI's purchase of former Apple designer Jony Ive's design firm,

Apple appears to have made another stealthy startup acquisition in Seattle. We’re hearing that the tech giant is acquiring WhyLabs, a Seattle startup founded in 2019 that helps companies observe their AI apps to prevent security risks and optimize performance.

The report from Bloomberg outlines why Apple has been struggling with its AI strategy.

WWDC could follow up Google I/O with similar on-device AI news from Apple.

The crisis runs so deep, allegedly, that Apple will introduce no Siri upgrades at WWDC 2025 — and the report claims to have seen internal data that shows Apple “remains years behind its competition.” It paints a picture of weak leadership, conflicting priorities, flawed decision-making, and problematic integration between teams.

The all-stock deal with OpenAI values Ive’s AI hardware startup io at $6.5 billion—and is set to be a major windfall for the man who designed the iPhone.
