As Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AAPL#NASDAQ">AAPL</a>) gears up for its Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) 2025, the focus is expected to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/06/45712700/apples-ai-struggles-to-keep-pace-with-rivals-ahead-of-wwdc-2025">be on major software updates</a>, but there's growing speculation about the possibility of surprise hardware announcements.
What Happened: While WWDC is traditionally a software-heavy event, rumors have been swirling about the potential unveiling of three key hardware products, <a href="https://9to5mac.com/2025/06/06/new-hardware-at-wwdc-heres-what-the-rumors-say/">reported</a> 9To5Mac.
First, the Mac Pro, which hasn't seen a redesign in the Apple Silicon era, could be previewed at WWDC. Apple has a history of showcasing new Mac Pro models at the conference, so this would not be out of the ordinary.
Second, there's talk of a ‘HomePad' smart display making an appearance. This device would likely be tied to a new homeOS, which could be announced alongside it. The HomePad could compete with similar devices from competitors like Alphabet Inc.'s (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOG#NASDAQ">GOOG</a>) (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GOOGL#NASDAQ">GOOGL</a>) Google and Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/AMZN#NASDAQ">AMZN</a>).

Lastly, AirTag 2, a rumored update to <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/24/12/42677323/apples-airtag-2-roundup-ultra-wideband-boost-safety-improvements-and-more-rumored-features">Apple's location tracker</a>, has been speculated to arrive in mid-2025. While it seems unusual for such a product to debut at WWDC, Apple's audience extends beyond developers, and the timing could make sense, the report added.
Why It&#8217;s Important: WWDC 2025 is Apple's last major event <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/tech/25/03/44348175/apples-iphone-17-air-to-usher-in-new-era-of-slimmer-portless-models">before the launch of the</a> iPhone 17 in the fall, making it a potential window for hardware announcements.&nbsp;
WWDC 2025 will be held <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45787471/apples-wwdc-2025-when-how-to-watch-the-keynote-and-what-to-expect">from June 9–13</a>, with the keynote livestreamed on June 9 at 1 p.m. ET.
According to Benzinga&#8217;s Edge Stock Rankings, Apple is showing a downward price trend across the short, medium and long term. <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/premium/ideas/benzinga-edge-2#:~:text=Turn%20Market%20Chaos,when%20markets%20rebound">Additional metrics can be found here</a>.

China has issued temporary export licenses for rare-earth materials to suppliers of U.S. automakers.
What Happened: China has issued temporary export licenses to rare-earth suppliers for the top three U.S. automakers, according to a report by Reuters on Friday. This move comes amid ongoing supply chain disruptions due to Beijing&#8217;s export restrictions on these materials.
At least some of these licenses are valid for six months, as per two unnamed sources cited by Reuters. However, details regarding the quantity or specific items covered by the approval remain unclear.

China&#8217;s decision in April to limit exports of rare earths and related magnets has affected supply chains crucial to automakers, aerospace manufacturers, semiconductor firms, and military contractors globally. The country&#8217;s dominance in the critical mineral industry is seen as a significant leverage point in its trade conflict with the U.S.
Suppliers for General Motors Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/GM#NYSE">GM</a>), Ford Motor Co. (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/F#NYSE">F</a>), and Stellantis NV (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/STLA#NYSE">STLA</a>) received clearance for some rare earth export licenses on Monday, one source noted.
Why It Matters: The issuance of temporary licenses by China comes at a critical time when global automakers are grappling with potential production disruptions due to rare-earth supply shortages.
A report from May highlighted concerns from automakers like General Motors and Toyota Motor (NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TM#NYSE">TM</a>) about<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/topics/25/05/45708426/chinas-rare-earth-magnet-restrictions-threaten-auto-production-could-result-in-shutdown-of-assembly-lines-report"> potential factory shutdowns</a> due to these restrictions.
Furthermore, the <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/markets/tech/25/06/45763345/amid-us-china-trade-war-global-automakers-warn-beijings-curbs-on-rare-earth-metals-could-significantly-impact-production">ongoing trade tensions</a> between the U.S. and China have exacerbated these challenges, with automakers worldwide warning of significant impacts on production.

China Grants Temporary Rare-Earth Licenses To US Automakers' Suppliers

President Donald Trump has stated he has no plans to communicate with Elon Musk, highlighting ongoing friction over the contentious ‘Big, Beautiful Bill.&#8217;
This announcement was made while Trump was aboard Air Force One, as reported by Reuters. Despite wishing Musk success with Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>), Trump indicated he wasn&#8217;t considering speaking with the EV giant's CEO at the moment.
Trump also hinted at a potential review of Musk&#8217;s federal contracts, stating, &#8220;We&#8217;ll take a look at everything,&#8221; about the significant financial dealings.
A White House source, who chose to remain anonymous, suggested Trump might sell his red Tesla Model S, which had been previously displayed at the White House.
On the other hand, Musk has been vocally critical of the Republican tax and spending bill, expressing his disapproval on his social-media platform X. He argued that the bill could politically damage Republicans and exacerbate the national debt. Musk also floated the idea of creating a new political party to represent the middle majority.

The discord between Trump and Musk follows a public fallout, with Musk&#8217;s allies largely silent. Investor James Fishback advised Musk to apologize, citing Trump&#8217;s patience. This situation could have implications for the upcoming midterm elections, as Musk&#8217;s financial backing might affect Republican control of Congress.
Why It Matters: The tension between Trump and Musk has been escalating, with <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45821929/trump-vs-musk-president-selling-his-tesla-is-targeting-robotaxis-next">Trump reportedly considering selling his Tesla</a> and targeting Musk&#8217;s ventures like robotaxis.

Furthermore, Musk&#8217;s support for Trump&#8217;s impeachment, suggesting <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45808078/elon-musk-says-yes-to-impeaching-trump-replacing-him-with-jd-vance-amid-fierce-back-and-forth-over-big-beautiful-bill">replacing him with JD Vance</a>, has added fuel to the fire. Despite the ongoing conflict, there have been attempts to de-escalate the situation, with Trump&#8217;s aides urging him to<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45807968/trump-signals-truce-with-elon-musk-after-online-feud-its-going-very-well-never-done-better"> soften his public criticism of Musk</a>.

Trump-Musk Feud May Not End Anytime Soon As President Says He Has No Plans To Speak To The Tesla CEO

On Friday, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of granting the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) access to sensitive <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/06/45810097/protecting-seniors-data-act-to-audit-doges-access-of-social-security-systems-identify-backdoor-channels-report">Social Security records</a>.
What Happened: The Supreme Court granted the Donald Trump administration's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/25/05/45189902/trump-administration-pushes-supreme-court-to-greenlight-doge-access-to-americans-social-security-data-despite-lower-courts-fishing-expedition-warning">emergency request to lift a lower court's</a> ruling that had blocked DOGE's access to Social Security's data, <a href="https://www.politico.com/news/2025/06/06/supreme-court-doge-social-security-records-ruling-00393064">reported</a> Politico.&nbsp;
This decision allows DOGE's team, tasked with detecting and preventing fraud, to access personal information in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) systems, including tax and wage reports and disability payments.
A three-paragraph unsigned order from the court's majority stated, "We conclude that, under the present circumstances, SSA may proceed to afford members of the SSA DOGE Team access to the agency records in question in order for those members to do their work."

However, the decision was met with dissent from three liberal justices. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wrote in a 10-page dissent that the ruling posed &#8220;grave privacy risks for millions of Americans.&#8221;
Why It's Important: The legal battle over <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/government/regulations/25/05/45466451/elizabeth-warren-torches-doges-social-security-fraud-claims-pointing-at-internal-memo-discovery-says-elon-musk-jd-vance-and-trump-are-lying">DOGE's access to Social Security data</a> is one of several that emerged in the early weeks of Trump's second term, as a cost-cutting team led by Tesla Inc. (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/TSLA#NASDAQ">TSLA</a>) CEO and SpaceX founder Elon Musk spread throughout the federal government.
Last month, Musk ended his contentious four-month stint as head of the DOGE. Despite falling well short of the projected savings, President Trump honored him <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/news/politics/25/05/45708460/elon-musks-175-billion-in-doge-cut-falls-far-short-of-the-billionaires-goal-expect-to-achieve-over-time-the-trillion-dollars-of-savings-says-tesla-ceo">with a golden key to the White House</a>.
DOGE set out to cut $1 trillion in federal spending by targeting bureaucracy and inefficiencies. However, according to its own website, the initiative has only achieved $180 billion in documented savings to date.

Trump's DOGE Gains Access To Social Security Records After Supreme Court Ruling, Raising Privacy Concerns For 'Millions Of Americans'

Ten years on from one of the most bitter legal battles in Britain's green energy sector, Dale Vince is still not mincing words. In a recent podcast appearance, the Ecotricity founder called Tesla Inc. CEO Elon Musk a "bad man running a bad company."
What Happened: Tesla proposed a collaboration with Ecotricity to boost EV charging infrastructure in the UK. The companies signed a non-disclosure agreement, and Ecotricity shared sensitive lease information with Tesla. However, it then turned into what Vince regards as an ambush, as he indicated in an interview with Novara Media.
One Sunday evening in 2015, Vince's colleague Simon Crowfoot <a href="https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/misdirected-email-sparks-electric-car-war-between-tesla-and-ecotricity-9533260.html">received an email</a> from Tesla. It was intended for a different Simon at Tesla, outlining a three-pronged plan to undermine Ecotricity: pressure landlords to breach contracts, launch a negative press campaign, and lobby government officials. The next morning, Ecotricity obtained a High Court injunction to block Tesla's moves. The legal battle played out over three years and <a href="https://www.current-news.co.uk/tesla-and-ecotricity-reach-out-of-court-settlement-over-electric-highways-d/">ended in a settlement</a>, with Tesla paying a major sum to Ecotricity.

Why It Matters: The case was seen as a defining "David vs Goliath" moment in the UK's EV rollout. Vince claimed Tesla misused confidential data to strong-arm its way into motorway charging sites, while pretending to negotiate in good faith. "They came to us all nice as pie," Vince said. "And when we refused, they tried to take it by force." He later described Tesla's behavior as "at least amoral," and called their tactics "like cowboys."
Court disclosures revealed internal Tesla communications, including Elon Musk reportedly saying, "It's not their Electric Highway, it's our Electric Highway"—a comment Vince said highlighted the company's aggressive posture. The episode became a cautionary tale for British companies dealing with Silicon Valley giants.
<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"> 
<div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Energy CEO Explains Why The Right Are Wrong About Everything &#x7C; Aaron Bastani Meets @TheRealDaleVince" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BOPyQm59caw?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div>
</figure>
Vince has since sold the Electric Highway to GRIDSERVE, but his view of Musk hasn't softened. "I wouldn't buy his car," he said on the podcast. "There might have been a world in which I'd bought a Tesla but I think they're quite naff… I think he's a bad man running a bad company."

Elon Musk Is A 'Bad Man' Running A 'Bad Company' Says British Green Energy Mogul Dale Vince, Ten Years After Tesla's 'Smash And Grab' Tactics Sparked UK EV War With Ecotricity

One frustrated investor took to <a href="https://www.reddit.com/r/stocks/comments/1l1smuu/what_exactly_is_the_stock_market_based_on_now/">Reddit</a> to ask a question many have quietly wondered: &#8220;What, exactly, is the stock market based on now?&#8221;
&#8220;Not fundamentals. Not technicals. Not economic data. Not historical precedent. Not major news. Not Trump&#8217;s &#8216;truth&#8217; tweets,&#8221; the person wrote.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">More About Vibes Than Value?</h2>
Many agreed with the original poster, offering brief yet telling responses, such as &#8220;vibes&#8221; and &#8220;fumes.&#8221; One simply added, &#8220;Hope. The <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/how-does-the-stock-market-work">stock market is based</a> on the hope you can grow some money.&#8221;

</ul>
Others suggested the system is less about value and more about routine flows of cash. A highly upvoted comment read, &#8220;It's based on continuing <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/24/09/40753320/new-report-the-u-s-has-more-401-k-millionaires-than-ever-even-though-people-feel-the-economy-isn">massive inflows of 401(k) money</a>. Employed people socking away money in good times and bad. It means demand for stocks even when there is no rational reason for demand.&#8221;

It isn't optional,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;That means that fund manager gets a pile of money every month that has to go into the market no matter what realistic investing would dictate.&#8221;
Still, others raised concerns that this setup could eventually break. &#8220;This won&#8217;t hold when there&#8217;s more retired people than people investing for retirement,&#8221; someone warned.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Is It Gambling Or Just A Bubble?</h2>
Several people argued that the market now behaves more like a casino than a pricing mechanism for company value.
&#8220;You&#8217;re not betting on how a company will do, you are betting on what other gamblers will do,&#8221; one person wrote. &#8220;If the news is good and hyped they will buy thinking that others will buy. This makes the price go up.&#8221;
A few chimed in with cultural references to explain the mood. One joked, &#8220;Economics is just astrology for dudes,&#8221; while another compared current market logic to mass hallucination: &#8220;We routinely mass hallucinate trillion-dollar valuations for companies that would take a half century of growth to justify.&#8221;

If people couldn&#8217;t invest in stocks, how would they build wealth?&#8221;
While some still held onto traditional ideas like long-term investing or company profits, others said those no longer hold the same weight.&nbsp;
Whether it&#8217;s vibes, inflows, hope or habit, this Reddit thread made one thing clear: more and more investors are wondering if the market&#8217;s behavior makes sense anymore.

If scrolling your feed makes you feel like everyone's <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/are-you-rich">maxing out their 401(k)</a>, flipping houses, and buying gold bars "just for fun," you're not alone. But <a href="https://www.fidelity.com/learning-center/personal-finance/average-retirement-savings">Fidelity's latest retirement report</a> offers a much-needed reality check: most people aren't coasting into early retirement—they're just trying to stay on track.
Fidelity's Q4 2024 data offers a wide-angle look at more than 24.5 million participants across 26,700 corporate retirement plans. While it doesn't count savings in brokerage accounts, real estate, or that dusty jar of cash in your kitchen drawer, it's a solid snapshot of how Americans are preparing for retirement.

</ul>
Here's how average 401(k) and IRA balances actually stack up across the generations—and what that might say about your own retirement game.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Baby Boomers (Born 1946–1964)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $249,300</li>
<li>Average IRA: $257,002</li>
<li>Total: $506,302</li>
</ul>
Boomers are clearly the furthest along—but even after <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/management/25/06/45752956/70-is-the-new-50-baby-boomers-are-being-told-to-keep-working-because-theyre-mentally-sharp-but-is-that-a-compliment-or-just-a-budget-fix">decades in the workforce</a>, most aren't looking at seven-figure balances. Their average savings rate is solid at 11.9%, plus 5% from employers. Still, with retirement possibly lasting 20–30 years, it's not exactly "leave-it-all-to-the-grandkids" money.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gen X (Born 1965–1980)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $192,300</li>
<li>Average IRA: $103,952</li>
<li>Total: $296,252 </li>
</ul>
Often labeled the "forgotten middle child" of the generational mix, Gen Xers are facing a now-or-never moment. Many are juggling college tuition, aging parents, and their own retirement dreams—and with just under $300,000 saved, the pressure is real.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Millennials (Born 1981–1996)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $67,300</li>
<li>Average IRA: $25,109</li>
<li>Total: $92,409</li>
</ul>
Despite being deep into their prime earning years, millennials are still catching up. Student debt, housing costs, and late career starts haven't helped. The good news? Their contribution rates are climbing—18.3% have gone all-in on Roth 401(k)s, and over 70% are using target date funds.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Gen Z (Born 1997–2012)</h2>
<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li>Average 401(k): $13,500</li>
<li>Average IRA: $6,672</li>
<li>Total: $20,172</li>
</ul>
Just getting started, Gen Z isn't breaking any records—yet. But don't sleep on them: 81.5% are investing in target date funds and nearly one in five is already contributing to a Roth 401(k). Plus, their average savings rate – 7.2% – shows they're thinking long-term earlier than most generations did.

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">What "On Track" Actually Looks Like</h2>
Feeling behind? Fidelity recommends saving 15% of your income annually – including employer match – to stay on track for retirement. And they offer this rule of thumb: aim to have 1x your salary saved by age 30, 3x by 40, 6x by 50, and 10x by 67.
While those targets may feel high—especially with inflation doing its thing—they serve as rough benchmarks for anyone wondering whether they're pacing with their peers.
<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Long-Term Savers Reap Long-Term Gains</h2>
One bright spot in the data: people who've stayed with the same employer and plan for 15+ years tend to see significantly higher balances. Why? Stability, consistency, and compound growth. It's less about timing the market and more about time in the market.
<a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/smartasset">Retirement planning is less a race</a> and more a really long relay—one where you drop the baton, pick it up, and keep running. Whether you've got six figures saved or six months of rent, the key takeaway from Fidelity's data is this: it's not about being perfect—it's about being persistent.
And if you're still wondering how you stack up? You're already doing more than you think by paying attention.

Cameco (TSX:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCO#TSX">CCO</a>, NYSE:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/CCJ#NYSE">CCJ</a>) reports an expected increase of approximately $170 million (US) in our 49% equity share of Westinghouse Electric Company's (Westinghouse) 2025 second quarter and annual adjusted EBITDA. The expected increase is tied to Westinghouse's participation in the construction project for two nuclear reactors at the Dukovany power plant in the Czech Republic. This expected increase will be taken into consideration in determining the 2025 distribution payable by Westinghouse to Cameco.
In addition to the increase in adjusted EBITDA in 2025, we expect significant financial benefits for Westinghouse, as a subcontractor, over the term of the Dukovany construction project and related to the provision of the fuel fabrication services required for both reactors for a specified period. The outlook for Westinghouse's compound annual growth rate for adjusted EBITDA remains 6% to 10% over the next five years, excluding the impact of the expected $170 million (US) increase in its 2025 adjusted EBITDA.
Cameco owns a 49% interest in Westinghouse and its partner, Brookfield Renewable Partners, owns the remaining 51%.

Shaquille O'Neal didn't just want an iPhone—he wanted the first one. Before the press, before the celebrities, before the world.
But even being a four-time NBA champion with global fame and a tech obsession couldn't get him ahead of Apple's notoriously secretive rollout in 2007. So what did he do? He pulled some strings, got Steve Jobs' personal number, and called—a lot.
"Stevie baby, it's Shaqy—can I get one of those iPhones?" he recalled asking. But Jobs wouldn't cave. "He said, ‘Shaq, I can't, I can't, I can't,'" O'Neal recounted speaking to <a href="https://youtu.be/ipAP2foYERc?si=OHbn03_aaFF46qHb">Mashable at SXSW in 2013</a>. "I got a lot of celebrities calling me… you gotta wait, Shaq."

</ul>
This wasn't a one-time ask. Shaq was relentless. He wanted the first iPhone not just because it was cool, but because, as he put it, "when you're at the forefront of stuff, it's like bragging rights."
In a 2012 <a href="https://www.fastcompany.com/1824166/apple-makes-shaq-and-celebrities-everywhere-grovel-common-people/">interview with Fast Company</a>, he gave more context—and a little more heart. "I always wanted to be the one that's on the edge of the technological curve," he said. And when the iPhone was about to drop, he did what any certified tech nerd with a rolodex full of Silicon Valley contacts would do: he called in the favor. Over and over.
"The great Steve Jobs, rest in peace," Shaq said at the time. "When the iPhone was first coming out, I used to call him every other day. Can I please get one first? He never gave me one. He was a great guy."
Trending: Maximize saving for your retirement and cut down on taxes: <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/money/wideradvisor-retirement-planning">Schedule your free call with a financial advisor to start your financial journey – no cost, no obligation</a>.&nbsp;
The way Shaq tells it, you get the sense he wasn't even annoyed. In fact, he seemed to respect Jobs even more for sticking to his guns.
Shaq's not just a tech dabbler—he's a full-on enthusiast. "I'm a nerd, I'm a techie, I'm a geek," he proudly <a href="https://youtu.be/bWY6jsc0NcU?si=-4vSE6L2RJ2jSEHb">declared in a 2013 Bloomberg interview</a>. "All those terms we thought were funny are now in—and I'm proud to say I'm in."
And he meant it. In 2015, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/startups/24/09/40677330/shaq-refused-to-pay-80-000-for-security-and-made-a-surprising-choice-he-invested-in-a-company-bezos">Shaq invested in Ring</a>, the smart doorbell company, after installing one himself and becoming a fan. He didn't stop at writing a check—he appeared in commercials and even went door-to-door helping install units in Georgia homes. When Amazon later acquired Ring in a reported $1 billion deal, Shaq's bragging rights became even more legit.
He <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/shlomosprung/2020/06/25/oura-nba-smart-rings-coronavirus-orlando-covid-pandemic-shaq-dell-benioff/">also backed Oura</a>, the smart ring that tracks sleep, recovery, and readiness scores. Because for a guy who's lived life at full throttle, it turns out the tech that monitors rest might be just as valuable as the tech that gets people hyped.

While basketball thrives on fierce competition, Shaq says the tech world operates on a completely different vibe. "In the basketball world, it's, ‘This is mine, and you can't have it,'" he explained. "But in tech, everybody's helping each other out. Kudos to the techie guys for everybody just having handshake deals." He went on to say there's more than enough innovation and opportunity to go around. "There's enough technology and enough dream space for everybody to survive," he added.
So no, Shaq never got that iPhone early. But he did get the last laugh—by diving headfirst into the tech world, not as a brand ambassador, but as a true geek with bragging rights of a different kind.
Because it's not just about being first. It's about being in. And on that front, <a href="https://www.benzinga.com/personal-finance/25/03/44380108/trust-me-im-reading-what-hes-doing-every-day-nba-legend-shaq-with-a-500-million-net-worth-swears-by-warren-buffetts-investing-wisdom">Shaq's already won</a>.
