Welcome back to Tech Minute. Today we’re asking: can a redesign save Apple’s software? There’s a running theory that “AI is the new UI,” and someday we might ditch home screens and browsers for one smart assistant. But Apple seems set on a different path. Rumors swirl that at WWDC 2025 we’ll see a “huge redesign” and an all-new naming scheme for iOS, macOS, watchOS, and more. It sounds “eminently reasonable, if slightly confusing,” but is it just a fresh coat of paint? What Apple really needs, many argue, is the Siri upgrade it’s promised for years.

Beyond Apple, we’ve got Nilay’s Decoder interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai, news on The Browser Company, and fresh deals around AI training data—proof that “the web as we know it is ending,” even if it’s not dead.

In our lightning round: yes, “Brendan Carr is a Dummy,” Nintendo’s rumored Switch 2 launch, and Elon Musk’s exit-ish from the federal government. It’s been a busy May for tech, and the headlines keep coming.
