Apple has just wrapped up its Worldwide Developer Conference in California, unveiling a brand new MacBook Air with the M2 chip, iOS 16 and even its own version of a buy now, pay later scheme to help you purchase all of the latest tech

In what is the iPhone’s most substantial operational revamp since the introduction of the iPhone X users will now be able to select a customised lock screen to suit their day.

While a ‘work’ lock screen might pin emails and turn off social media notifications, a weekend lock screen could actually mute communications from your job, and prioritise different apps.

Apple’s head of software engineering says the redesign allows ‘an incredible set of new personalisation features, making the experience feel incredibly ‘you’.

This release comes just months before Apple is expected to release its iPhone 14, which will have these new features and is rumoured to have an ‘always-on’ display.

In its buy now, pay later offering, the tech giant will allow consumers to take out an interest-free four-month loan on payments made with its Apple Pay service, but unfortunately it’s limited to the U.S. for now.

A redesigned MacBook Air will see a new MagSafe charging port, and a design similar to the current MacBook Pro computers.

Apple has also introduced more customisable watch faces, an enhanced Workout app, sleep stages and an all-new Medications app.

Now sporting a High Definition camera, it will operate through an M2 chip, which is 40 per cent faster than the previous generation.

When it comes to iOS 16, there’s one feature that stands out above the rest.

Users can expect a Messages app that allows the editing or the recall of texts sent impulsively or by mistake.

The dictation service has been revamped, and live text will now work with video, with users able to copy and paste text from paused footage.

In Apple Maps, you will now be able to add multiple stops to a route, while a new  “shared photo library” will allow families and groups of people to bundle all pictures taken together in one shared library.

Finally, a new feature called “Safety Check” will help people leaving abusive relationships terminate device access given to other people with just one click.

Schneider Electric showcase at Computex 2025 highlighted how AI-ready data centre solutions will address growing power demands and sustainability challenges.

On day two of Computex 2025 in Taipei, Ticker was invited to attend an exclusive tour of Schneider Electric’s booth. The tour provided a comprehensive overview of the company’s forward-thinking mission towards a net zero future, and offered great insights on solutions to manage AI’s rising energy usage.

Schneider Electric is aware of concerns about AI’s environmental impact and is using Computex 2025 to highlight its truly sustainable solutions for the rising power demand.

The International Energy Agency forecasts that global electricity demand from data centres will more than double by 2030, reaching approximately 945 terawatt-hours (TWh). AI is projected to significantly contribute to this demand.

To tackle these challenges, Schneider Electric is implementing solutions such as high-density power systems and advanced cooling technologies. The Galaxy VXL, a compact uninterruptible power supply, delivers up to 1.25 MW per frame and is designed for large workloads, offering significant space savings.

Schneider Electric also expanded its cooling portfolio by acquiring Motivair Corporation. This acquisition enhances their capabilities in thermal management, essential for high-density AI workloads.

Furthermore, partnerships with NVIDIA have resulted in new data centre designs that cater to liquid-cooled AI clusters, enabling high-performance infrastructure deployment.

Schneider Electric has launched a digital twin solution, in partnership with ETAP, to better manage AI factory power requirements.

Schneider Electric is focused on helping operators meet the energy challenges of AI while advancing sustainability initiatives, helping to remove negative stigma around AI’s energy usage.
