While the more personalized version of Siri is infamously delayed, Apple Intelligence will continue to evolve in other ways in the meantime.

In a later-than-usual Monday edition of his Power On newsletter, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman outlined two additional Apple Intelligence enhancements that are likely planned for the upcoming iOS 18.6 and iOS 19 software updates.

In its press release for the new Pride Band today, Apple said that iOS 18.5 is ”upcoming,” following more than a month of beta testing.

We expect the iOS 18.5 Release Candidate to be released this week, and this should be the final beta version, barring any last-minute bugs or changes. The software update should then be released to the general public next week.

iOS 18.5 is a relatively minor update for the iPhone, with only a few additions discovered so far. Below, we recap all of the known changes.

The Trump administration filed an emergency application on Friday asking the Supreme Court to restore DOGE’s access to Social Security Administration records. A lower-court order that prohibited DOGE’s access is causing ”irreparable harm to the executive branch” and thwarting DOGE’s attempts to ”eliminate waste and fraud,” US Solicitor General John Sauer wrote in the appeal.

”The government cannot eliminate waste and fraud if district courts bar the very agency personnel with expertise and the designated mission of curtailing such waste and fraud from performing their jobs,” Sauer told the Supreme Court. The preliminary injunction that is currently in place halted ”the Executive Branch’s critically important efforts to improve its information-technology infrastructure and eliminate waste,” the brief said.

Apple may have been able to mitigate against Trump’s tariffs before their full extent was announced, but the company’s latest SEC filing reveals that this was only a short-term tactic, and price hikes may be inevitable.

Apple has projected that it will take a $900 million hit over tariffs in the June 2025 quarter, following Trump’s ”reciprocal” tariffs. But part of preventing that loss being still higher, involved ramping up manufacturing and importing, including airlifting plane loads of iPhones.

According to a note to investors seen by AppleInsider, Morgan Stanley has calculated from Apple’s latest 10-Q filing that Apple’s costs were at a three-year March quarter high. The company bases this on Apple’s reported balance sheet inventory, and vendor non-trade receivables — in this case effectively pre-payments to suppliers for goods they are storing before sending to Apple.
