Apple is expected to use its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) on June 8 to make a fresh push into artificial intelligence (AI), with a Siri overhaul that has been long pending, new AI-powered tools and iOS 27 likely to take centre stage.The event comes at a crucial moment for the iPhone maker. Nearly two years after unveiling Apple Intelligence, Apple is still facing criticism for delayed features and a Siri revamp that never fully materialised. Now, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, the company is preparing its biggest Siri upgrade in years as it looks to catch up with rivals such as Google Gemini, ChatGPT and Samsung's Galaxy AI.Also Read: ET at Apple’s Bengaluru developer showcase: The apps headed to WWDC 2026New Siri expected to be the biggest WWDC 2026 announcementAt the heart of Apple's plans is a redesigned Siri that is expected to move beyond simple voice commands and become a more capable AI assistant.The new Siri could gain the ability to understand what's on a user's screen, pull information from emails, notes, calendars and contacts, and perform actions across apps. Users may also be able to issue multiple commands in a single prompt. For instance, asking Siri to check the weather, schedule a meeting and send a message at the same time. Many of these features were originally previewed in 2024 before being repeatedly delayed.Apple is also reportedly working on a dedicated Siri app that would function more like ChatGPT or Gemini. The app could allow users to hold ongoing conversations, upload files and photos for analysis, access chat history and sync conversations across devices through iCloud. Apple is even said to be testing support for third-party AI models including Claude and Gemini alongside ChatGPT.iOS 27 may focus on performance, battery life and reliabilityWhile AI is expected to dominate the keynote, iOS 27 itself may be less about flashy redesigns and more about fixing pain points.Unlike last year's major visual overhaul with "Liquid Glass" design, Apple is reportedly focusing on performance improvements, better battery life, fewer bugs and faster response times. The company is also believed to be laying the groundwork for a foldable iPhone expected later this year through under-the-hood changes in the operating system.Apple is also expected to introduce a new AI-focused "Search or Ask" experience, making it easier for users to search their device, launch apps and interact with Siri from a single interface.Also Read: Will your iPhone get iOS 27?

The feature could gain the ability to recognise nutrition labels, extract contact information and provide more contextual information about objects seen through the camera.Wallet, Safari and AirPods could get useful upgradesBeyond AI, Apple is reportedly working on a handful of practical upgrades aimed at everyday users.These include a built-in bill-splitting feature in Wallet and Messages, custom digital pass creation in Wallet, a redesigned Safari start page, improved AirPods controls and updates to fitness and heart-rate tracking on the Apple Watch.The company is also said to be improving notification management, adding more customisation options to the Camera app and making several changes aimed at improving the overall experience across its devices.Also Read: Apple to let users choose rival AI models across iOS 27 features: ReportWhy WWDC 2026 could be Apple's most important AI event yetFor Apple, however, the real focus will be Siri.The assistant has largely remained unchanged while competitors have transformed their products into conversational AI platforms capable of reasoning, planning and completing complex tasks. WWDC 2026 could be Apple's attempt to show that it is finally ready to compete in that race — and deliver some of the AI features it first promised users nearly two years ago.Whether Apple can close the gap with ChatGPT, Gemini and other AI rivals remains to be seen, but June 8 could offer the clearest look yet at the company's long-term AI strategy.

India has firmly rejected any third-party involvement in its border dispute with Nepal, emphasizing that such matters are strictly bilateral. This response comes after Nepal's Prime Minister suggested the UK's intervention, citing the dispute's origins during British rule. India maintains that established bilateral mechanisms are in place to address all boundary issues.
Randhir Jaiswal said India had taken note of Shah's comments as well as a subsequent statement issued by Nepal's foreign ministry.
The PRC is now Africa’s largest trading partner, with bilateral volumes exceeding US$ 340 billion, in 2025. From South Africa’s citrus exports to Ethiopia’s coffee, Chinese market access has become a vital engine for job creation and foreign exchange. Eswatini, by contrast, trades with China only through indirect, third-party channels; often at higher tariffs and lower efficiency.

ISLAMABAD: The Ministry of Information Technology and Telecommunication (MoITT) has started registering cloud service providers (CSPs) to ensure that services meet required standards and safeguard national and public data security. The government had announced strict accreditation criteria for CSPs under the Pakistan Cloud First Policy (PCFP). So far, six applications have been received by the ministry for accreditation. IT Minister Shaza Fatima told Dawn that strict security criteria and quality standards have been set for CSPs, and that they must pass a rigorous security check and an audit by a third-party auditor registered with the Pakistan Computer Emergency Response Team (PKCERT) to ensure that the data of Pakistanis and government data remain secure from hackers. “For the first time, the policy ensures that Pakistan’s sensitive data is stored on servers physically located within the country, which will help keep national data under Pakistan’s legal control,” she said. “Under the PCFP, all public sector entities (PSEs), including federal and provincial departments, are required to use cloud services for any new IT project instead of building their own separate, expensive data centres,” she added. Shaza said the transition had begun, and that the provinces had already approved their own versions of the policy to align with the federal government. “For the proper management of the federal and provincial cloud policy model, the MOIT has established a ‘Cloud Office’ to facilitate the adoption of cloud across the public sector and accreditation of CSPs, while specialised ‘Cloud Acquisition Offices’ will be established in each province to help departments buy the services they need safely and quickly,” the minister informed. Meanwhile, a senior MOIT official said that accreditation of cloud service providers (CSPs) was essential to ensure they meet required standards, as clients — both government departments and the private sector — are not fully aware of the safety standards adopted by cloud service providers. The official added that registration of CSPs was also necessary to monitor investments in cloud services in the country, “because excessive investment beyond requirement could result in wastage of resources.” Furthermore, a ministry report said local services would help conserve foreign exchange reserves, noting that significant amounts are currently spent on importing IT services. “By moving to local cloud providers, Pakistan will retain that money domestically and reduce foreign exchange outflows,” the report said. The report added that the policy will be overseen by a “Cloud Board” headed by the IT Secretary, with representatives from all provinces to ensure coordinated implementation nationwide.
ISLAMABAD: The Islamabad High Court (IHC) on Monday restrained the Capital Development Authority (CDA) from dispossessing the residents of One Constitution Avenue and issued a stay order on intra-court appeals filed against the dismissal of their writ petitions. A division bench comprising Justice Muhammad Azam Khan and Justice Raja Inaam Ameen Minhas heard the appeals filed by the residents of One Constitution Avenue. During the proceedings, the court directed the CDA not to take any coercive action against the occupants till the next hearing. The residents’ counsel, Sardar Taimur Aslam, said, “We want the CDA board to hear us and give us an opportunity to prove our innocence.” Justice Khan inquired about the process of sub-leasing and whether it was documented with an institution or done informally. Senior lawyer Ali Raza, another counsel representing the residents, contended that the CDA had leased out the land and subleases were executed while the original lease was intact. He argued that the CDA had received a partial payment, which was sufficient to cover the space where the residential towers were built. Appearing on behalf of the CDA, counsel Kashif Ali Malik told the court that the authority was the custodian of the land and the SC’s 2019 order, in which it directed the builder to pay Rs17bn, was public. “Why did people invest in risky properties?” he asked. Justice Minhas observed that the CDA had issued letters to the builder and was aware of the residents’ occupancy. Justice Khan asked whether the CDA had issued a completion certificate for the project. Malik replied that no completion certificate had been issued to date and that residents possessed no document issued by the CDA. Justice Minhas noted that in the National Police Foundation case, the entire housing scheme was declared illegal, yet the residents were not dispossessed. The court adjourned the hearing while issuing the stay order. The dispute relates to a 2005 lease agreement between the CDA and BNP for the development of a five-star hotel project, which was later converted into the luxury residential and commercial complex known as One Constitution Avenue, located in a prime area of Islamabad. The lease had initially been terminated in 2016 but was restored by the Supreme Court in 2019, subject to stringent financial conditions, including payment of Rs17.5 billion in instalments backed by bank guarantees. Last month, the IHC upheld the CDA’s decision to cancel the building’s lease due to the company behind the project defaulting on the payments, which led to uproar on social media as residents alleged officials broke down their doors to serve them eviction notices. Subsequently, the Bank of Punjab (BoP) and several flat owners separately filed intra-court appeals before IHC, challenging the single bench verdict, which had also ruled that third-party buyers would “sink or sail” with the original lessee. On Saturday, intriguing new facts surfaced in the court record ahead of the hearing, including a 2012 interim arbitration award issued by incumbent Defence Minister Khawaja Muhammad Asif and a former chamber president to resolve disputes between the two main partners. The arbitration award, dated September 13, 2012, was issued by Khawaja Asif and Mian Hamid Javed, former president of the Faisalabad Chamber of Commerce and Industries. The agreement was meant to settle differences between Abdul Hafeez Sheikh of M BNP and Nadeem Zia Pirzada of M/s Paragon regarding the five-star hotel project. A stunning list of buyers also emerged in the record, revealing that 240 flats in the disputed project were allotted to the who’s who of Pakistan’s power elite. According to documents placed before the court, the buyers included a former acting president of Pakistan (who served two non-consecutive terms), a former Senate chairman, a former prime minister, two former chief justices of Pakistan, a former chief justice of the Lahore High Court, and a former defence minister, among other notable ex-public office holders.
