Welcome back to Week in Review! We have lots for you this week, including what came out of WWDC 2025; The Browser Company\u2019s AI browser; OpenAI\u2019s partnership with Mattel; and updates to your iPad. Have a great weekend!<\/p>\n
The Apple experience: <\/strong>We kicked the week off with WWDC 2025, Apple\u2019s Worldwide Developers Conference, where the company showed off a newly designed iOS 26<\/a>, new features<\/a> across its products, and much more<\/a>. There was considerable pressure on Apple this year to build on its promises and to make amends to developers<\/a> as it lags behind in AI and faces continued legal challenges over its App Store.<\/p>\n Snack hack:<\/strong> U.S. grocery distribution giant United Natural Foods (UNFI) was hit by a cyberattack,<\/a> the company confirmed Tuesday. Much of UNFI\u2019s external-facing systems were offline, including web systems used by suppliers and customers, as well as the company\u2019s VPN products. Whole Foods was one of the victims, and it told staff that the cyberattack was affecting UNFI\u2019s \u201cability to select and ship products from their warehouses\u201d and that this will \u201cimpact our normal delivery schedules and product availability.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n Public debut: <\/strong>Chime\u2019s much-anticipated public debut<\/a> finally arrived, with the company raising $864 million in its IPO. Iconiq was one of Chime\u2019s many backers<\/a> taking a victory lap at its graduation to become a public company.<\/p>\n This is TechCrunch\u2019s Week in Review, where we recap the week\u2019s biggest news.

Apparently the time has come \u2014 maybe? Musk said this week that Tesla will start offering public rides<\/a> in driverless vehicles in Austin, Texas, on June 22.\u00a0<\/p>\n An AI browser: <\/strong>The Browser Company said last year that it\u2019s going to stop supporting and developing its Arc browser, which, although popular, was never able to reach scale. The startup has since been busy developing an AI-first browser called Dia<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n And another one: <\/strong>OpenAI released o3-pro<\/a>, which is a version of o3, a reasoning model that the startup launched earlier this year. As opposed to conventional AI models, reasoning models work through problems step by step, allowing them to perform more reliably in domains like physics, math, and coding. In other news, Sam Altman posted on X to say that his company\u2019s first open model in years will be delayed<\/a> until later this summer.<\/p>\n Desperately seeking: <\/strong>Now that people can ask a chatbot for answers \u2014 sometimes generated from news content taken without a publisher\u2019s knowledge \u2014 there\u2019s no need to click on Google\u2019s blue links. And that\u2019s hurting publishers<\/a>.<\/p>\n Cool? <\/strong>Mattel and OpenAI are teaming up to create an \u201cAI-powered product,\u201d<\/a> whatever that is. As part of the deal, Mattel employees will also get access to OpenAI tools like ChatGPT Enterprise to \u201cenhance product development and creative ideation.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cA privacy disaster\u201d: <\/strong>Reporter Amanda Silberling tried out the Meta AI app and found that it\u2019s publicly sharing people\u2019s queries<\/a>. \u201cMeta does not indicate to users what their privacy settings are as they post, or where they are even posting to. So, if you log into Meta AI with Instagram, and your Instagram account is public, then so too are your searches about how to meet \u2018big booty women,\u2019\u201d she writes.\u00a0<\/p>\n iPad for work: <\/strong>iPadOS 26 will bring new features<\/a> to the 15-year-old device that might actually make it usable for a full day of work.\u00a0<\/p>\n A wave of recent headlines and posts has raised questions about Bluesky, from concerns about slowing growth to claims that the platform is turning into a left-leaning echo chamber and that its users are too serious. While those critiques capture part of the conversation, they don\u2019t reflect the full picture of what Bluesky is working toward<\/a>. But if left unchecked, those perceptions could pose a real challenge to the platform\u2019s future growth.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
