Weekly overview 25: Mac Mini Service Program, advertising in WhatsApp, no new AirPods and more

Last week many users complained that the YouTube app regularly crashed on their smartphone. The problem arose for both Android, iPhone and iPad devices, where the app did not respond, suddenly closed or did not want to start.

In the meantime, Google has released a solution in the form of an app update. The company indicates that after updating the problem was solved for Android users. Are you in possession of an iPhone or iPad? Then you have to take more steps to solve the problem.

Bad news for Apple enthusiasts who are waiting for new AirPods models. According to the reliable Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple would not want to release new AirPods this year, not even the AirPods Pro 3rd generation. This news is now again confirmed By GFHK Tech Research analyst Jeff Pu.

Earlier, rumors appeared that Apple would like to provide the Pro model with a new version this year, but according to Kuo and PU, the biggest innovations are only expected in 2026. This could mean that Apple will not launch new AirPods this year.

Apple now proposes external developers to use the same AI models that make the new Apple Intelligence possible. The brand new Foundation Models Framework, announced on the WWDC 2025, offers the possibility for apps to integrate AI functions.

Thanks to the new framework, developers do not have to use external AI services and they do not incur costs for using the corresponding APIs.

We had to wait a while, but from now on, WhatsApp shows ads in their app. The advertising does not go so far that it is visible in your chat conversations, but you will indeed come across them.

The advertisements are shown in the ‘Updates’ tab and you will see the advertising appear during the points of status updates. Unfortunately you cannot disable this form of advertising in the app.
