Did you tune in to Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference 2025 expecting a brand-new, ultra-personal Siri?

If you blinked, you might’ve missed it—Apple only gave Siri’s AI upgrade a quick shoutout, with no launch date in sight.

Looks like those big changes are now pushed into 2026, which feels like forever in AI years, right?

Apple says it needs more time to make sure Siri is as smart—and reliable—as they promised last year.

The plan was for Siri to understand your relationships, daily routine, and actually help you do stuff across all your apps.

Sounds amazing, but... turns out the beta wasn’t consistent.

Siri only got things right about two-thirds of the time.

Apple didn’t want to ship a half-baked update.

…like switching up team leaders and putting their Vision Pro expert in charge.

Apple officially announced another delay.

Investors and users are now wondering if Apple’s AI tech can keep up with fast-moving rivals like OpenAI and Google.

Apple teamed up with OpenAI to make Siri smarter in the meantime.

If Siri gets stuck, it’ll hand off tough questions to ChatGPT.

Plus, iOS 26 brings new AI features like on-device models for developers, AI image generation powered by ChatGPT, smarter live translations, an AI “Workout Buddy” for your Apple Watch, and next-gen Shortcuts for automating your daily grind.

Apple’s still in the AI game.

They’re just playing a bit of catch-up (for now). Want to bet they’ll make a dramatic comeback? Only time (and maybe ChatGPT) will tell!

Good news—OpenAI just upgraded ChatGPT’s voice mode to make it way more natural and expressive.

Do you ever have one of those Fridays that just won’t quit?

That’s what happened on Wall Street today.

The Dow crashed almost 800 points, with the S&P 500 and Nasdaq also taking big hits, all because of sudden fighting between Israel and Iran.

Israel hit Iran with a “preemptive strike,” then Iran fired back—hard.

Oil prices shot up over 7% (hello, expensive petrol!), and gold spiked as investors ran for safety.

Tech favorites like Tesla and Palantir got caught up in the sell-off too.

this fight could drag on with “several waves” of attacks, so nobody’s sure when the dust will settle.

President Trump’s urging Iran to “make a deal” before things get even messier, but Iran is threatening to hit US assets as part of its “severe response.”

The US, meanwhile, says it’s not involved but warns Iran not to target Americans.

Trump is also talking about new auto tariffs and pressuring the Fed to slash rates.

All this drama comes right when investors were just starting to feel optimistic again.

Now, everyone’s back in “wait and see” mode.

Markets hate surprises, and with oil soaring and war headlines everywhere, there’s a lot of nervous energy out there.

If you’re investing or side hustling, it’s the perfect time to review your plan, keep some cash handy, and remember—these wild swings are part of the game!

Stocks are playing the waiting game this week.

Everyone’s glued to the headlines—will inflation data spike thanks to tariffs, or will cooler heads prevail in the latest round of US-China trade talks?

Ever feel like your kids are fighting more than they’re playing?

You’re not alone!

Even the best parents deal with sibling rivalry, but it doesn’t have to rule your home.

The first step is to accept that rivalry is normal.

Instead of shutting down those arguments, help your kids express their feelings—yes, even the messy ones.

Bottling it up only leads to more explosions later.

Instead, focus on what makes each child unique.

Constantly comparing siblings—even in a good way—just adds pressure and stress.

Giving kids positive roles (“the smart one,” “the helpful one”) can be as harmful as negative ones.

Instead, let every child shine in their own way.

Don’t jump in as the referee.

Teach your kids how to work through their arguments, so you’re raising future problem-solvers, not just peacekeepers.

Try these simple strategies.

And remember, you’re not failing if your kids fight—sometimes, it’s just part of growing up!
