Business Technology News Roundup: June 13, 2025
The week of June 9–13, 2025, saw major shifts in the US IT sector. Apple unveiled a bold new design and advanced AI features at WWDC, while Amazon committed $20 billion to new data centers in Pennsylvania, boosting cloud and AI infrastructure. President Trump signed an executive order to strengthen AI cybersecurity and streamline federal regulations.
The week of June 9-13, 2025, was pivotal for the US technology landscape. From landmark investments and major software launches to crucial policy changes, the IT sector experienced several developments that will shape the industry for months to come. Here’s a detailed look at the five most important US IT news stories from last week, offering insights into innovation, infrastructure, and regulatory trends that matter to businesses and tech enthusiasts alike.
Apple’s WWDC 2025 introduced the new “Liquid Glass” design language, a sweeping visual overhaul across iOS, macOS, iPadOS, watchOS, and tvOS, marking the most significant UI update since iOS 7.Operating systems are now named by year, simplifying version tracking for users and developers.Apple Intelligence received major upgrades, including AI-powered live translation across devices, smarter call screening, and enhanced spam filtering in Messages.The update also enables developers to leverage on-device large language models and new APIs, promising richer, more secure app experiences. These features are set to roll out in late 2025, reinforcing Apple’s push for unified, intelligent device ecosystems.
Amazon announced a record $20 billion investment to build two massive data center campuses in Pennsylvania—one at the Keystone Trade Center near Philadelphia and another adjacent to the Susquehanna nuclear power plant.This marks the largest private sector investment in the state’s history and is expected to generate at least 1,250 jobs, including hundreds in construction, engineering, and IT security.The new facilities will power Amazon’s expanding artificial intelligence and cloud computing operations, with the company also considering additional sites in the region. The move underscores the surging demand for AI-optimized infrastructure as tech giants race to scale up their cloud capabilities.
On June 6, President Trump issued an executive order to bolster US cybersecurity, with a strong focus on artificial intelligence and federal systems.The order amends previous policies to streamline cybersecurity regulations, prioritize software supply chain security, and accelerate adoption of post-quantum cryptography.It mandates federal agencies to incorporate AI vulnerability management into incident tracking and reporting, and to share indicators of compromise for AI systems with key agencies. The order also redirects sanctions against foreign cyber actors, aiming to deter significant malicious cyber-enabled activities targeting US infrastructure.
Google launched Gemini 2.5, its most advanced AI model yet, delivering improved coding assistance, personalized workflows, and advanced context management for developers. New features include native audio output for more natural conversations, affective dialogue that detects user emotions, and proactive audio that filters background noise. Gemini 2.5 also introduces enhanced security safeguards, including significant protection against indirect prompt injection attacks. The update is available via the Gemini API and Vertex AI, with support for multiple languages and seamless integration into enterprise workflows, aiming to boost productivity and security for teams using Google’s AI ecosystem.
A US court has ordered OpenAI to retain all user chat logs—including those previously deleted—as part of the ongoing copyright lawsuit filed by The New York Times. This order applies to most ChatGPT users, except those with Enterprise, Edu, or Zero Data Retention agreements. OpenAI has appealed, arguing that the demand is sweeping, unnecessary, and poses significant privacy risks, potentially conflicting with global data protection regulations. The company has assured users that only a small, audited legal and security team can access the preserved data, but the case has sparked widespread debate about data privacy and legal discovery in the AI industry.
