Published

on

Apple has unveiled a large range of new features at its annual developers’ conference, including updates to video calls and digital keys.

Apple’s Senior VP of software engineering, Craig Federeghi hosted the virtual keynote presentation.

On FaceTime, users will now be able to stream movies or music together during a group call.

The company says “FaceTime calls will become more natural, with the introduction of SharePlay for shared experiences, helping users stay in the moment”.

Apple Maps and the Weather app have been refreshed, with new ways to explore the world and refreshed graphics.

The mobile wallet app has also been redesigned, allowing users to unlock everything from their home to their hotel room with digital keys.

Apple employees angry about CEO asking them to return to work

While many are enjoying the perks of working from home, Apple employees are angry about a memo from the CEO asking them to return to work.

While office workers around the world haver been getting by the last year on Zoom meetings from the lounge room, the tech giant is trying to get employees back to Apple park on set days.

Apple workers would still be able to work from home on Wednesdays and Fridays though.

Many employees are unhappy with the announcement, responding in an internal letter that they would like more flexibility.

They want those who like working remote to be allowed to do so.

We’d love to hear your thoughts on the latest Apple updates. Head to our socials on Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn to let us know.

As 2026 begins, markets face economic shifts; gold and silver soar, while energy and currencies impact global investors.


As 2026 begins, global markets face a mix of economic shifts and geopolitical tensions shaping currencies, commodities, and interest rates. The Federal Reserve’s next moves are under the microscope, and Zoran Kresovic from Blueberry Markets says understanding these changes is key for investors navigating the year ahead.

Gold and silver are hitting all-time highs, driven by market volatility and economic uncertainty. Kresovic notes that both metals are likely to continue climbing, remaining essential safe-haven assets amid inflation concerns.

Energy markets are also volatile, with crude oil prices rising amid geopolitical tensions. Meanwhile, the Australian dollar is showing strength against the U.S. dollar. Kresovic highlights that these trends in energy and currency markets can ripple across the global economy, making them critical for investors to watch.

S&P 500 hits all-time high amid Fed scrutiny; Trump’s credit card cap proposal raises investor concerns over bank profits.


The S&P 500 reached a new all-time high, with the Nasdaq climbing 0.5% while the Dow Jones held steady. This comes amid news of a criminal investigation into Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell. Despite the scrutiny, analysts believe short-term interest rates and inflation are unlikely to be impacted.

Meanwhile, Trump’s proposal to cap credit card rates at 10% for a year sparked concern among investors about potential effects on lending and bank profitability. Major bank stocks reacted sharply, with Citigroup down 3% and Capital One falling 6%.

In commodities, gold futures rose 2%, reflecting fears that political pressure on the Fed could challenge its ability to manage inflation effectively.
