Apple’s finally making it easier to remember the name of its latest operating system. After naming its iOS sequentially from iOS 1 in 2007 to iOS 18 last year, Apple announced that it would now name its latest operating system after the current year. What would have been iOS 19 is now iOS 26, since the system, which comes out this year, will be good through fall 2026. The new year-based names applies to Apple’s iOS, iPadOS, watchOS, macOS, tvOS, and visionOS. The rebrand brings Apple operating system names in line with the conventions of other industries, like automakers (the 2026 Ford F-150) and sports franchise video games (Madden NFL 2026). And it’s also a smart branding play since it keeps things simple. The names of the company’s ever-changing hardware and software updates can become a jumble of numbers over time. By naming it after the upcoming year, knowing the latest iOS update is as easy as knowing the date. The company made the announcement at its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), confirming a Bloomberg report last month about the change, but what Apple didn’t say was that it will change what it calls its hardware. Its latest iPhone model is the iPhone 16, and the company hasn’t made any indication it’s rebranding the smartphone or other products to year-based names. The care Apple takes in naming in products, services, and applications, though, mirrors the simple, intuitive design of its software and hardware. It’s meant to make sense, and competitors take notice. Dell this year adopted Pro and Max suffixes for its new laptop names, which Apple also uses in product names.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC that he plans to file suit Monday against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act. This appears to be the first time in decades that a states National Guard was activated without a request from its governor. Trump has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal service members when there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States. Roughly 300 National Guard members arrived in the city over the weekend, and Trump said he had authorized 2,000 members to deploy if needed. Here is a look at the latest: Trump targets Newsom (again) After inspecting a site on the White House lawn for a future flagpole, Trump spoke to reporters about the protests in California. I like Gavin Newsom. Hes a nice guy, but hes grossly incompetent, the president said, complaining about the little railroad hes building that is 100 times over budget. Its a reference to the much-delayed high-speed rail project, which predates Newsoms tenure. Trump also criticized the protestors. The people that are causing these problems are professional agitators. Theyre insurrectionists. Theyre bad people. They should be in jail. Trump says sending National Guard to L.A. protests was a “great decision” In a post on his social media site, Trump said the city would have been completely obliterated otherwise. Protests over the presidents immigration crackdown spared much of Los Angeles from violence. Weekend clashes swept through several downtown blocks and a handful of other places. Trump wrote that Gov. Gavin Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass should thank him. He accused them of being untruthful for saying Guard troops werent necessary. Indigenous community leader urges legal representation for detained workers Perla Rios, an Indigenous community leader in Los Angeles, urged legal representation and due process for the dozens of workers who were detained in the city by ICE on Friday. Rios spoke at a conference Monday morning in Los Angeles, outside of Ambiance Apparel, where ICE raids set off days of tense protests in the city. Behind her stood family members of workers detained, holding up signs saying Immigrants Make America Great, Liberate them all, and We want justicenext to photos of their loved ones. What our families are experiencing is simply a nightmare, Rios said. Trumps border czar says Gov. Newsom was “late to the game” in responding to protests Tom Holman defended the ICE arrests that preceded the protests and Trumps deployment of the National Guard, blaming the California governor for stoking anti-ICE sentiments and waiting two days to declare an unlawful assembly in LA. Hes failed that state, Holman told Fox News on Monday morning. Newsom dared federal officials to arrest him in an interview with MSNBC on Sunday, stating: Come after me. Arrest me, Lets just get it over with, tough guy. On Fox, Holman said there was no discussion about arresting Newsom. Sen. Schumer calls Trumps National Guard order a diversion and unnecessary Donald Trumpin the midst of a war with Elon Musk and his ugly tax bill that would rip healthcare from 17 million peopleis in desperate need of a diversion, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) said in a statement Monday. His order to deploy the National Guard in California is unnecessary, inflammatory, and provocative. Trump should immediately revoke his command to use the National Guard, and leave the law enforcement to the governor and the mayor, who are more than capable of handling the situation. Americans do not need or deserve this unnecessary and provocative chaos. Workers sweep up debris, tear gas canisters from streets of L.A. The smell of fire hung in the air of downtown Los Angeles Monday morning. A series of ash piles littered Los Angeles Street with the charred remnants of cars set afire during protests over immigration. The quiet in the streets was in marked contrast to several days of escalating protests over President Trumps immigration crackdown. The demonstrations intensified Sunday in the countrys second-most-populous city after Trump deployed the National Guard. Police cars from a smattering of Southern California cities were blocking streets in the downtown. Workers swept up debris from the streets including tear gas canisters. Crews painted over graffiti that covered downtown buildings. More demonstrations were expected in Los Angeles Monday. Latinas for Trump founder says shes disappointed by recent escalation of immigrant arrests I have always supported Trump, @realDonaldTrump, through thick and thin. However, this is unacceptable and inhumane, said Ileana Garcia, a Florida state senator who in 2016 founded the group Latinas for Trump and was hired to direct Latino outreach. She posted the message on X over the weekend. I understand the importance of deporting criminal aliens, but what we are witnessing are arbitrary measures to hunt down people who are complying with their immigration hearingsin many cases, with credible fear of persecution claimsall driven by a Miller-like desire to satisfy a self-fabricated deportation goal, she said. Garcia was referring to Stephen Miller, a key architect of Trumps immigration crackdown. Garcia also said this is not what we voted for. However, Trump promised voters he would conduct the largest domestic deportation operation in American history to expel millions of immigrants in the country illegally. 1965 was the last time the National Guard was deployed without a governors permission No president has done so since Lyndon B. Johnson sent troops to protect a civil rights march in Alabama, according to the Brennan Center for Justice. Johnson, unlike Trump, invoked the Insurrection Act, an 18th-century wartime law that allows presidents to deploy military forces during times of rebellion or unrest. Trump instead relied on a similar federal law that places National Guard troops under federal command under circumstances that include the threat of rebellion. But the law also says that orders for those purposes shall be issued through the governors of the Statesmaking it unclear whether the president can activate the Guard without the order of that states governor. More rallies planned for downtown L.A. Union leaders are planning a rally for downtown Los Angeles Monday to support a labor leader arrested during immigration protests. The Service Employees International Union said Monday that the rally at Grand Park in downtown Los Angeles is in support of its California president David Huerta. Huerta was arrested Friday and expected to appear in court Monday afternoon. The SEIU represents thousands of janitors, security officers, and other workers in California. The group is also planning rallies in at least a dozen other cities spanning from Denver to New York. Los Angeles has seen three days of protests over immigration arrests. Protests intensified after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard. Chicago leaders join immigration protests: “This is not about immigration. This is about domination of all of our communities.” In Chicago, dozens of labor leaders, immigrant rights activists, and elected officials rallied in a downtown plaza Monday in support of David Huerta, a regional president of the Service Employees International Union, who was arrested in California last week. The crowd called for Huertas immediate release, ending speeches with chants of Free David! He was wrongfully detained, said Genie Kastrup, president of a Chicago-based SEIU chapter. What happened to Huerta is about more than a single leader. It is a direct assault on all of us. The group also called out the Trump administrations aggressive tactics on immigration enforcement, including a travel ban and arrests last week at a Chicago office used for Immigration and Customs Enforcement check-ins. Were not going anywhere. This isnt about safety. This is about control, said Democratic U.S. Rep. Jesus Chuy Garcia, who was born in Mexico. Fear is the tactic; silence is the goal. This is not about immigration. This is about domination of all of our communities. See where the protests took place The arrival of the National Guard followed two days of protests that began Friday in downtown Los Angeles before spreading on Saturday to Paramount, a heavily Latino city south of the city, and neighboring Compton. On Sunday, protesters clashed with the National Guard in downtown L.A., blocking off a major freeway and setting self-driving cars on fire. How did we get here? Protests were triggered by ICE arrests Friday Confrontations began when dozens of protesters gathered outside a federal detention center demanding the release of 44 people arrested by federal immigration authorities across Los Angeles Friday, as part of Trumps mass deportation campaign. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement is averaging about 1,600 arrests per day, according to the agencys head, Todd Lyons, who defended the tactics on June 2. Mexican president calls for due process after authorities detained 42 Mexicans in Los Angeles raids Mexican Foreign Affairs Minister Juan Ramón de la Fuente said Monday that 42 Mexicans had been detained in raids in Los Angeles and that four had already returned to Mexicotwo voluntarily and two via deportation. President Claudia Sheinbaum, speaking at her daily news briefing, read aloud a statement from the Mexican government about the events in Los Angeles. The Mexican government reiterates its unwavering commitment to the protection and defense of the human rights of Mexicans living overseas, regardless of their immigration status. In this sense, we make a respectful but firm call to United States authorities for all immigration procedures to be carried out with adherence to due process, within a framework of respect for human dignity and the rule of law. We do not agree with violent actions as a form of protest. Burning police cars appears to be more an act of provocation than of resistance. We condemn violence, no matter where it comes from. We call on the Mexican community to act pacifically and not allow itself to be provoked. The Mexican government will continue using all diplomatic and legal channels available to express its disagreement through its consular network with practices that criminalize immigration and put at risk the safety and well-being of our communities in the United States. Gov. Gavin Newsom to sue Trump over National Guard deployment Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC that he planned to file suit Monday against the Trump administration to roll back the Guard deployment, which he called an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act. Trump has cited a legal provision that allows him to mobilize federal troops when there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States. But Newsom said he believed the president was required to coordinate with the states governor before ordering such a deployment. Were going to test that theory with a lawsuit tomorrow, Newsom said Sunday. The city of Glendale cancels a contract that allows ICE to house detainees in its local jail The city in California is canceling a contract that allowed federal immigration authorities to house detainees within its local jail, citing fears of undermining community trust. In a statement Sunday night, Glendale officials said the city would formally terminate its agreement with the Department of Homeland Security and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement. (T)he City recognizes that public perception of the ICE contractno matter how limited or carefully managed, no matter the goodhas become divisive, the statement noted. Federal immigration authorities often enter into agreements with local police departments to house immigrant detainees. ICEs agreement with Glendale had been in place since 2007, officials said. An ICE spokesperson did not immediately respond to a requst for comment. Travel Ban As tensions continue to rise over Trumps immigration enforcement, the Presidents new ban on travel to the U.S. by citizens from 12 mainly African and Middle Eastern countries is taking effect Monday. Trump was awake past midnight raging against the protests in L.A. and calling for a crackdown Looking really bad in L.A. BRING IN THE TROOPS!!! he wrote on Truth Social at 12:16 a.m. ET. Roughly 300 National Guard members arrived in the city over the weekend, and Trump said he had authorized 2,000 members to deploy if needed, over the objections of California Gov. Gavin Newsom. The military said 500 Marines were on standby. ARREST THE PEOPLE IN FACE MASKS, NOW! Trump wrote at 12:19 a.m. Trump cited Los Angeles Police Chief Jim McDonnells recent comments to defend his response to the protests. Dont let these thugs get away with this. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!!! Trump wrote at 12:14 a.m. This thing has gotten out of control, McDonell said Sunday. We have great cops in Southern California here that work together all the time, he said. But he added that looking at the violence tonight, I think we gotta make a reassessment. Australian reporter hit by nonlethal round during live report from the protests An Australian television journalist was hit in the leg by a nonlethal round Sunday while reporting live from downtown Los Angeles. Video of the incident released by 9News shows correspondent Lauren Tomasi reporting live when an officer behind her suddenly raises their firearm and fires a nonlethal round at close range. Tomasi, who doesnt appear to be wearing personal protective equipment, cries out in pain and clutches her lower leg as she and her cameraman quickly move away from the police line. You just [expletive] shot the reporter, a voice off-camera can be heard shouting. The shooting came after a tense afternoon in which Tomasi and her crew were caught between riot police and protesters. At one point, she struggled to speak over the sound of clashes, while a protester grabbed the camera mid-broadcast. Theyve told people to get out of this area, and protesters have been refusing, she reported. We are safe here. Its just noisy. But you can see the volatility. Speaking later Monday to 9News, Tomasi confirmed she was safe and unharmed. Clashes escalated Sunday as National Guard troops arrived downtown Starting Sunday morning, the troops stood shoulder to shoulder, carrying long guns and riot shields as protesters shouted shame and go home. After some closely approached the guard members, another set of uniformed officers advanced on the group, shooting smoke-filled canisters into the street. Minutes later, the Los Angeles Police Department fired rounds of crowd-control munitions to disperse the protesters, who the LAPD said were assembled unlawfully. Much of the group then moved to block traffic on the 101 freeway until state patrol officers cleared them from the roadway by late afternoon. Nearby, at least four self-driving Waymo cars were set on fire, sending large plumes of black smoke into the sky and exploding intermittently as the electric vehicles burned. By evening, police had issued an unlawful assembly order shutting down several blocks of downtown Los Angeles. Flash bangs echoed out every few seconds into the evening. Protests intensified on Sunday night in Los Angeles after Trump deployed National Guard troops Sundays protests in Los Angeles were centered in several blocks of downtown. It was the third and most intense day of demonstrations against Trumps immigration crackdown in the region, as the arrival of around 300 Guard troops spurred anger and fear among many residents. Many protesters dispersed as evening fell and police declared an unlawful assembly, a precursor to officers moving in and making arrests of people who dont leave. Some of those remaining threw objects at police from behind a makeshift barrier that spanned the width of a street, and others hurled chunks of concrete, rocks, electric scooters, and fireworks at California Highway Patrol officers and their vehicles. Officers ran under an overpass to take cover. The Guard was deployed specifically to protect federal buildings, including the downtown detention center where protesters concentrated. Several dozen people were arrested throughout the weekend of protest. One was detained Sunday for throwing a Molotov cocktail at police, and another for ramming a motorcycle into a line of officers.

Major food wholesaler United Natural Foods (UNFI) announced Monday that it experienced “unauthorized activity” on its IT systems, prompting the company to take some services offline while an investigation is underway. As a leading food distributor, UNFI is the primary supplier to Whole Foods Market, an Amazon subsidiary. The two companies extended their partnership last year through 2032. According to a Securities and Exchange Commission report, UNFI became aware of the cyberattack last Thursday and immediately implemented containment measures. “As soon as we discovered the activity, an investigation was initiated with the help of leading forensics experts and we have notified law enforcement,” a company spokesperson tells Fast Company. “We are assessing the unauthorized activity and working to restore our systems to safely bring them back online. As we work through this issue, our customers, suppliers, and associates are our highest priority. We are working closely with them to minimize disruption as much as possible.” The full scope and impact of the breach remain unclear. However, shares of UNFI, a $1.5 billion company, dropped by at least 8.6% at the time of publishing, and social media users have begun reporting disruptions. “Came in at 5 am today and was told there will be no UNFI truck today due to issues on their end,” a Reddit user shared on r/wholefoods. Whole Foods did not immediately return Fast Company‘s request for comment. A user claiming to be a UNFI employee added in the same thread: “we literally cannot do anything network related. At a complete standstill. This is catastrophic to the business.” The UNFI breach adds to a growing list of cybersecurity concerns, particularly in the retail sector. U.K. retailers have recently faced a wave of cyberattacks, and the chief analyst for Googles Threat Intelligence Group told NBC News that U.S. companies were already in the crosshairs. Beyond retail, recent cyber incidents have also hit the social media platform X, the Office of the Comptroller of the Currencywhich led major banks to halt sensitive data sharingand the car rental company Hertz.
