LONDON — Donald Trump has attacked London Mayor Sadiq Khan as a "stone cold loser" who has done "terrible job" as London Mayor ahead of the US President's three-day state visit to London. 

Khan on Sunday had criticised Trump and compared him to fascist leaders in the 20th century.

In a tweet sent from Air Force One, Trump wrote that Khan "who by all accounts has done a terrible job as Mayor of London, has been foolishly "nasty" to the visiting President of the United States, by far the most important ally of the United Kingdom. He is a stone cold loser who should focus on crime in London, not me......

In a second tweet, he added: "Kahn [sic] reminds me very much of our very dumb and incompetent Mayor of NYC, de Blasio, who has also done a terrible job - only half his height. In any event, I look forward to being a great friend to the United Kingdom, and am looking very much forward to my visit. Landing now!"

In response to the tweets, a spokesperson for Sadiq Khan said the president's behaviour was "much more serious than childish insults which should be beneath the President of the United States."

They added: "Sadiq is representing the progressive values of London and our country warning that Donald Trump is the most egregious example of a growing far-right threat around the globe, which is putting at risk the basic values that have defined our liberal democracies for more than 70 years."

Hours earlier, Trump had mocked the London Mayor's 5-foot 6-inch height in a statement before he and First Lady Melania Trump boarded Air Force One from Andrews Air Force Base in Maryland.

He said: "No I don't think much of him. I think that he's the twin of de Blasio except shorter."

It comes after Khan launched a series of broadsides against the president in an article for the Observer newspaper on Sunday.

Khan compared the president's language to those used by "fascists of the 20th century" and said the UK should not be "rolling out the red carpet" for him.

"President Donald Trump is just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat," Khan wrote.

"The far right is on the rise around the world, threatening our hard-won rights and freedoms and the values that have defined our liberal, democratic societies for more than 70 years."

The pair have had several clashes in the past, with Trump having been angered in 2018 by Khan's decision in 2018 to allow a giant inflatable blimp depicting the president as a baby wearing a diaper to fly in central London.

• "Traders are increasingly pricing in a prolonged trade war hitting the global economy," said Jasper Lawler at London Capital Group.
• The futures underlying the Dow and the S&P 500 are down around 0.6%, while Nasdaq are down 0.8%.

Asian and European stocks and US futures slid sharply on Monday after China's defense minister vowed not to back down in its trade war with the US. 

"Traders are increasingly pricing in a prolonged trade war hitting the global economy," said Jasper Lawler, head of research at London Capital Group.

Adding to the worries: Chinese state media announced a government investigation into FedEx, and South Korean exports, seen as a canary in the coalmine for global growth, slowed sharply in May.

Comments out of China that seemed to escalate the dispute after President Donald Trump announced tariffs on all Mexican imports and the end of special trade treatment for India, a status that exempted billions of dollars of the country's products from US tariffs, according to CNN.

"If the US wants to talk, we will keep the door open," General Wei Fenghe said at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore on Sunday, according to CNN. "If they want to fight, we will fight until the end."

"Bully us? No way," he added.

"Concerns grow that new threats against Mexico and India, heaped on top of the US-China trade dispute could push the global economy into recession," Lawler said.

China also intends to investigate whether FedEx violated the legal rights of its clients and hurt their interests, after parcels intended for Chinese telecoms titan Huawei were diverted, according to Xinhua, China's official news agency. The move could be seen as a retaliation after the US government blacklisted Huawei over espionage concerns, before temporarily relaxing the ban.

Meanwhile, South Korean exports plunged 9.4% in the first 20 days of May, significantly exceeding the median forecast of a 5.6% decline, according to Reuters.

The decline was likely driven by the escalating US-China trade war. President Donald Trump accused China of sabotaging a draft trade agreement, hiked tariffs on $200 billion worth of Chinese goods, and started preparing to expand tariffs to virtually all US imports from China. China retaliated by raising tariffs on $60 billion worth of US products in June, and threatening the US supply of rare-earth metals.

Here's the market roundup as of 9.10 a.m. (4.10 a.m. ET):

• European equities dropped in morning trading. Germany's DAX fell 0.6%, the Euro Stoxx 50 slid 0.8%, and Britain's FTSE 100 tumbled 1.1%.
• Asian indexes were broadly lower with the Shanghai Composite down 0.3%, the SZSE Component down 0.7%, and Hong Kong's Hang Seng down 0.3%.
• US stocks are poised to fall. The futures underlying the Dow Jones Industrial Average and S&P 500 are down around 0.6%, while Nasdaq are down 0.8%.
• Oil prices slumped with Brent crude down 1.6% at $61 and WTI crude down 1% at $53.

This is a preview of The Reverse Logistics Report from Business Insider Intelligence. Current subscribers can read the report here.

With e-commerce becoming a lucrative shopping channel, retailers and their logistics partners have been primarily focused on how to quickly move goods through the supply chain and into the hands of consumers — a process commonly referred to as forward logistics. However, the opportunities presented by the growing popularity of e-commerce also come with a challenging, multibillion-dollar downside: returns.

Return rates for e-commerce purchases are between 25% and 30%, compared with just 9% for in-store purchases. Turning reverse logistics — the process of returning goods from end users back to their origins to either recapture value or properly dispose of material — into a costly and high-stakes matter for retailers.

Not only are retailers experiencing more returns as a result of e-commerce growth, but consumer expectations also demand that retailers provide a seamless process. In fact, 92% of consumers agree that they are more likely to shop at a store again if it offers a hassle-free return policy (e.g. free return shipping labels). Some consumers even place large orders with the intention of returning certain items. 

And e-commerce sales are only going up from here, exacerbating the issue and making retailers' need for help more dire. However, for logistics firms that can offer cost-effective reverse logistics solutions, this has opened up a significant opportunity to capture a share of rapidly growing e-commerce logistics costs in the US, which hit $117 billion last year, according to Armstrong & Associates, Inc. estimates. 

InThe Reverse Logistics Report, Business Insider Intelligence examines what makes reverse logistics so much more challenging than forward logistics, explores the trends that have driven retailers to finally improve the way in which returns move through their supply chains, and highlights how logistics firms can act to win over retailers' return dollars.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

• E-commerce is now a core shopping channel for retailers, and it's still growing. US e-commerce sales are set to increase at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14% between 2018 and 2023, surpassing $1 trillion in sales, according to Business Insider Intelligence estimates.
• Booming e-commerce sales have driven product returns through the roof. Business Insider Intelligence estimates that US e-commerce returns will increase at a CAGR of 19% between 2018 and 2023, surpassing $300 million dollars. 
• Consumers have high expectations about how returns are handled, and retailers are struggling to find cost-effective ways to meet their demands. Sixty-four percent of shoppers stated they would be hesitant to shop at a retailer ever again if they found issues with the returns process. And retailers don't have the expertise to effectively keep up with how demanding consumers are about returns — 44% of retailers said their margins were negatively impacted by handling and packaging returns, for example.
• Logistics firms are well positioned to solve — and profit from — returns. These companies can take advantage of their scale and expertise to solve pain points retailers commonly experience as goods move through the reverse supply chain. 
• Reverse logistics solutions themselves present a lucrative opportunity — but they're also appealing in the potential inroads they offer to supply chain management. The global third-party logistics market is estimated to be valued at $865 billion in 2018, according to Bekryl.

Technology and the digital transformation it powers have seen the global rate of innovation increase exponentially. Technology has broken down barriers and improved lives on every continent. Some of the most remote regions in the world now have reliable mobile reception, and digital technologies are increasing global access to healthcare, education, and financial stability. Specifically, in Europe, an incredible 80% of European citizens now use their mobile devices to make purchases.¹

On the other hand, increased digitization has also seen the rise in hacks and breaches which can have a massive impact on our lives — 75% of card fraud now taking place online.² When services are global, with billions of subscribers, the fallout of vulnerabilities and exploits is significant, shaking public faith in technology and slowing progress while trust is rebuilt.

Trust is core to this digital world of ours as services stop being transactional and become relationships we build with people. Relationships that support their digital lives and change the way they use products, services, and brands. From making a payment to sharing information in the digital and physical worlds, safety and security are essential foundations, but trusted connections and understanding is the new currency.

This changing dynamic is playing out in the financial sector today, with open banking promising a new wave of services and opportunities that will change our relationships with our banks and finances, and put all of us firmly in the driving seat of our own data. This has been carefully balanced with new regulation coming into force this September that makes digital payments more secure, setting out new requirements for security and user experience through Strong Customer Authentication (SCA).

The key to success is a dual approach where regulation and good governance go hand-in-hand. Regulation and guidelines do far less to stifle innovation in the long term, when there is a partnership between the industry and the regulator. Put people and their needs at the heart of innovation, and consider regulation not only drives fair and equal competition, but also simplifies people's lives in a way they can trust.  

At Mastercard, we've already changed the way people pay with contactless — making in-store payments quicker and more seamless than ever before. Online, tokenization has made checking out more secure and convenient. Our Identity Check Mobile allows consumers to pay via their mobile and use a selfie or another biometric to authenticate themselves, bringing additional security with minimal disruption to the checkout experience.

Such a consumer-centric approach to innovation has benefitted us and our customers greatly, and built the trust necessary to continue creating easier and faster ways to pay and transact. It's a responsibility we take very seriously, designing all of our products and services with security at their heart — what we call "security by design." 

We've seen time and again that lack of trust leads to stagnation and holds back the progress of society and business around the world. That's why we lead by example, engendering trust in technology through products and services that benefit our global society and we invite you to join us on this journey.

• Los Angeles has too many megamansions and not enough buyers, reported Katherine Clarke for The Wall Street Journal.
• Real-estate agents and developers are turning to themed parties, gimmicky amenities, and $100 million price cuts to get the megamansions off the market.
• From LA to NYC, gimmicks and price cuts are being used in big cities nationwide, signaling a slow luxury real estate market.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Los Angeles has no shortage of multimillion-dollar mansions, but its growing inventory is becoming a headache for developers and real-estate agents.

The surplus of LA mansions sitting on the market, reported Katherine Clarke for The Wall Street Journal, began with "a couple of local megawatt deals" to foreign buyers in 2014 and 2015, which prompted the development of larger, more expensive homes exceeding $20 million. 

And there's more to come — 50 ultra high-end spec houses are currently being developed in the city, Clarke reported. These megamansions, not all of which are completed, can be expected to cost anywhere from $35.5 million to $500 million.

Private lenders and wealthy individuals have financed much of the spec homes, and real-estate agents and developers are employing extreme measures to get them off the market. Think themed parties instead of open houses or gimmicky amenities such as a secret room for growing and smoking weed and a candy room, according to Clarke.

They're also relisting plots of land and "hiring marketing experts to reimagine homes as individual brands with their own names, logos, and stories," wrote Clarke. That's not to mention employing steep price cuts by as much as $100 million: Just consider the Los Angeles megamansion listed at $250 million that recently received a price cut of $100 million because nobody wanted to buy it.

From LA to NYC, gimmicks and price cuts signal a slow luxury market 

Gimmicky tactics and slashed prices aren't unique to LA — they're indicative of a lingering luxury real-estate market in big cities nationwide. New York City, where "nothing's selling," according to Cary Tamarkin, New York City developer and architect of Tamarkin Co., in a Mansion Global interview, has its own luxury surplus problems.

Many of the city's penthouses have been sitting on the market for months, even years, and some eventually receive a drastic price cut or are carved into two smaller apartments, Business Insider's Katie Warren previously reported.

More than half of luxury homes in Manhattan — priced at $4 million or above — were sold at discounted prices in the first five months of 2018, Warren wrote, citing Mansion Global. And at 432 Park Avenue, New York City's tallest residential building, a 95th-floor penthouse listed for $82 million was split into two apartments, 95A and 95B, for $41.25 million and $40.75 million, respectively, after being on the market for two-plus years, Curbed reported.

In New York, an $85 million Hell's Kitchen condo comes with tickets to outer space and a couple of Rolls-Royces. In Miami, one luxury building provided its residents with Tesla-driving chauffeurs. And in Baltimore, 414 Light Street is also loaded with amenities, including an al fresco dining space, a yoga and meditation room, and a business lounge. 

It's part of a broader trend in which luxury apartment buildings are going to greater lengths to attract tenants by offering increasingly lavish amenities.

• Anthony Joshua was defeated and dethroned as boxing's heavyweight king on Saturday.
• Andy Ruiz Jr. fought the fight of his life to better Joshua, battering him in rounds three and seven until the referee waved the fight off for good.
• It was the first defeat of Joshua's professional career, but there were warning signs that he had been declining since he toppled Wladimir Klitschko in 2017.
• Shortly after beating Klitschko, Joshua won the praises of Floyd Mayweather, who invited him to work with the Mayweathers in Las Vegas to work on his porous defense.
• Joshua did go on to visit the Mayweather Boxing Club in Nevada but only for a fleeting visit in the middle of the year.
• After his humiliating setback last weekend, he should make a second trip. Only this time, he should stay for much, much longer.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Anthony Joshua was defeated and dethroned as boxing's heavyweight king after losing to Andy Ruiz Jr. under humiliating circumstances on Saturday, proving he should have listened to Floyd Mayweather two years ago.

Mayweather befriended Joshua after the Briton's up-and-down classic with Wladimir Klitschko in 2017, and he told him that if he worked with him at the Mayweather Boxing Club in Las Vegas, then he'd keep him at the top of the boxing world for years to come.

Joshua, Britain's hulking puncher with the million-pound smile, went a different route. He stayed loyal to his team, one that hoped it could help him conquer the American market and emulate Mayweather by earning $1 billion from prizefighting.

Joshua left Madison Square Garden in New York City $25 million richer. But his team's ambitions of turning the 29-year-old into boxing's global superstar, the fight game's equivalent of Lionel Messi or Roger Federer, suffered a knockout blow so shocking that only time will tell if he is able to recover from it.

This is because Joshua was not beaten on Saturday from one lucky punch. He was beaten because Ruiz fought the fight of his life with calculated aggression, throwing punches in bunches and taking advantage of a lackadaisical Joshua who was second best for much of the fight.

Joshua finished the night trying to balance himself on the top ropes in a neutral corner, completely beaten, having been knocked to the floor four times.

Ruiz had been peppering his body, chin, and even his ear with accurate, debilitating punches until the champion didn't know where he was. His promoter, Eddie Hearn, the group managing director of Matchroom Sport, told the Seconds Out reporter Radio Rahim backstage that his fighter had been concussed.

Joshua can rebuild, but it will take hard work and dedication

It is a far cry from the high Joshua experienced when he climbed off the canvas to knock out Klitschko in a back-and-forth heavyweight battle for the ages in 2017.

Klitschko landed a bow-and-arrow right hand in the sixth round, a thunderous punch with such power it cracked Joshua's cheek, buckled his knees, and dropped him to the floor. But Joshua recovered, fought his way back into the fight, and twice toppled the former champion with unanswerable flurries in the 11th round.

It was a victory that saw Joshua add the World Boxing Association (super) and the International Boxing Organization world heavyweight titles to the International Boxing Federation belt he won two fights earlier.

Though his name grew in stature around the world, there was one who was not completely impressed by Joshua. In footage filmed by the YouTube channel FightHype, Mayweather told Joshua that he is a "mother f----- that has got some dog in him." He praised him and said he acted like a champion in the Klitschko war but was ultimately flawed because he was getting hit too much.

He said Joshua needed to"tighten up" his defense and invited him to his Las Vegas gym, the famed Mayweather Boxing Club, so that his defensive game could become "real, real sharp and real, real slick."

Since the Klitschko win, Joshua appears to have regressed rather than evolved. He had his nose busted up by Carlos Takam in 2017, saw his knockout streak come to an end when he was awarded a decision win in a drab bout with Joseph Parker in 2018, and started sluggish before stopping Alexander Povetkin in September.

Now, most famously, he was put on the canvas four times by Ruiz, a fighter he was expected to beat with ease, setting up $100 million paydays against his unbeaten rivals Deontay Wilder and Tyson Fury.

Read more: Deontay Wilder just said Anthony Joshua's career 'consisted of lies' and that he was never 'a true champion'

For now, those paydays have reduced in value, if not disappeared entirely. But he can restore his worth worldwide should he rebuild, rematch Ruiz, and, most importantly, win.

To do that, change is needed, but it perhaps does not have to be drastic. After all, he said to iFL TV post-fight that he would not be blaming the referee, his promoter, his manager, or his trainers for his loss.

But the manner in which he was beaten — with such a porous guard and little to no head movement — proves Mayweather was right two years ago and that an extended stay at the Mayweather Boxing Club could work wonders on Joshua's development, even if he retains his original coaching setup for whenever he is training in the UK.

The art of boxing is to hit and not get hit. Mayweather did that better than anybody and has the greatest defensive numbers since CompuBox began tracking punch statistics. At the Mayweather Boxing Club, there are numerous coaches, from Floyd Mayweather Sr. to Roger Mayweather and Eddie Mustafa Muhammad, who can offer decades of knowledge on ducking, blocking, foot placement, and movement. One assumes Floyd Mayweather himself also knows a thing or two about it.

But it is not just textbook defense that Mayweather could help with. The 42-year-old is also regularly working out in his gym and running on the streets of Vegas to maintain his cardio, and he is the dictionary definition of being fighting fit. He never had a problem with endurance or distance fights. Joshua, in contrast, has questionable conditioning.

Away from the sport, Mayweather could teach vital lessons in how to balance promotion, media, and sponsorship obligations so none of those come at the cost of padwork, bagwork, or sparring. Joshua's on-camera duties prefight may have distracted him from the ultimate goal — knocking Ruiz out in style.

There is a lot for Joshua to learn, and even though he is approaching 30, he remains teachable. His motto has always been "stay hungry" and "stay humble," but perhaps it is time he adopts Mayweather's mantra of "hard work, dedication."

One loss does not suddenly make a boxer bad, and it does not delete his gold medal at the 2012 Olympic Games or his thumping professional wins over Dillian Whyte, Klitschko, and Povetkin from the record books.

But to return to the top, he will need to further emphasize his strengths — his physical prowess, his brutal power, and his solid punching repertoire — while doing all he can to disguise his weaknesses: his poor defense, his questionable conditioning, and the fact he has been turning into a brand rather than a boxer.

Read more: This is how Anthony Joshua flies in private jets, wears a $450,000 watch, and drives expensive Jaguars without spending a dime

Two years ago, Mayweather was asked how far Joshua could go in the sport of boxing. Mayweather told FightHype that "it all depends on who he works with." The American added that if Joshua was working with the Mayweathers, they would get him on the fast track to success in and out of the ring, putting him on top of the boxing world.

Joshua has made one fleeting appearance at the Mayweather Boxing Club that we know of. He told FightHype that he was there in 2017 to pay "homage" and simply watch Mayweather "prepare" for the Conor McGregor fight that summer. He therefore did not stay long enough to develop new skills over the course of a three- to six-month training camp.

But Joshua remains a friend of the gym. On the official Mayweather Channel on YouTube, he is often spoken of highly. And Mayweather himself has sided with Joshua when it comes to the Wilder argument by saying it is the Englishman who has a greater name value and deserves the bigger payday.

Joshua will have kept Mayweather's cellphone number after his last trip, and now is as good a time as any to call him so he can ask to return to the Mayweather Boxing Club.

Only this time, he should be staying for much, much longer.

• The trucking industry in the United States is worth hundreds of billions of dollars.
• The US trucking industry accounts for more than 5% of all the full-time jobs in America, even though truckers themselves earn a lower-than-average wage.
• Here are 11 surprising facts about the US trucking industry.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

The United States is hugely dependent on truckers.

Data show that trucking moves 71% of all the freight in America, and nearly 6% of all the full-time jobs in the country are in the trucking industry.

The industry employs millions of drivers and generates hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue. It serves as the vital lifeline between producers and consumers when it comes to everything from gasoline to gallons of milk.

While the trucking industry is now decades old, it remains dynamic, with constant demand from consumers keeping trucking as vital to the economy as ever.

Read on for 11 facts you might not know about the US trucking industry.

In 2017, the American trucking industry posted revenues higher than the GDP of more than 150 nations.

In 2017, the US trucking industry generated just over $700 billion. That was more than the entire GDP of Bangladesh, and slightly less than the GDP of Colombia, according to the CIA Factbook.

Were the industry a nation, it would have ranked 33rd in GDP that year.

Approximately 5.8% of all full-time jobs in America are related to trucking

According to Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2018 there were about 129 million full-time jobs in America. That same year, approximately 7.4 million people were employed by the trucking industry. That means about 5.8% of all American full-time workers had a job thanks to trucking.

Walmart alone employs more than 8,600 truckers

In recent years, Walmart has been turning away from third-party contracts and employing its own truckers, including a hiring surge of more than 1,400 new drivers brought on in 2018 and hundreds more so far in 2019. Walmart truckers earn on average nearly $88,000 per year, CBS reported.

In 2017, trucks moved 10.8 billion tons of freight

According to American Trucking Associations, US trucks moved 10.8 billion tons of freight in 2017.

That equates to about 30 pounds worth of goods for every man, woman, and child in the country.

And trucks move more than 70% of all goods transported around the United States

Trucking accounts for the vast majority of freight in America, with trucks carrying almost 71% of the tonnage moved about the country. That far surpasses trains, boats, and air when it comes to moving cargo around the nation.

More than 40% of the jobs in the American trucking industry are held by minorities

Trucking is a surprisingly egalitarian industry, with 40.6% of all trucking jobs held by minorities. This far outpaces the national average when all jobs are compared — overall, minorities hold just 22% of jobs in this country, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Not one of the regulators charged with overseeing the trucking industry was ever a truck driver

The Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration is charged with managing the laws and regulations that control trucking in America. But not one of its four administrators has ever held a commercial driver's license or had any background in the trucking industry.

Most grocery stores would run out of food in just three days if long-haul truckers stopped driving

It might seem like food supplies on supermarket shelves are boundless, always there when you need them. But in fact, experts predict that most grocery stores would start running out of food just three days after long-haul truckers stopped working.

Many experts think the trucking industry needs to hire 900,000 more drivers

In 2018, the American Trucking Associations released a statement saying the industry needed to hire almost 900,000 more drivers to meet the growing demands put on the industry.

However, not everyone is agreement with the state of the industry. A Bureau of Labor Statistics report published earlier this year said the apparent shortage of drivers may actually be overblown.

Truck drivers earn less than most Americans in terms of annual income

Despite all the chatter about the growing trucking industry and the need for drivers, it's not the most lucrative line of work. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, in 2018, the median income was about $46,800 per year, while median annual wage for truckers was $43,680.

The average professional long-haul trucker logs more than 100,000 miles per year

Given restrictions on how many hours a driver can log in a given day (and in a given week), most drivers will average about 2,000 and 3,000 miles a week. Over the course of the year, that a trucker's mileage total can easily exceed 100,000 miles.

For comparison, the average US motorist drives about 13,500 miles a year.

• Apple wants to become the company you trust to keep your passwords and online identity safe.

Apple wants to become the company you trust to keep your passwords and online identity safe.

In the opening keynote Monday of its Worldwide Worldwide Developers Conference taking place this week in San Jose, California, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering Craig Federighi mentioned two new things the company is doing.

One was a splashy new feature in the upcoming iOS 13 called "Sign in With Apple." Instead of having to hand over your email to an app's creator and remember a password — or log in with a Facebook or Google account — Apple device users will be able to log in to their apps with TouchID or FaceID, with the iPhone or iPad handling the rest.

One of the coolest things about this is that even if an app developer insists on obtaining an email address to register your account, Apple will create a one-time-use throwaway account for the purpose. That means that it will let you into the app but not give the developer your email to spam you forever more.

Read: Apple just took a direct shot at Google and Facebook with a new service called 'Sign in with Apple'

But the other thing was something Federighi mentioned in an off-hand way, which we still don't know much about.

He said iOS 13 will give "enterprise customers the ability to have single sign on to enterprise accounts."

SSO is a big deal

"Single sign on," or SSO, is the term used to refer to apps that manage employee passwords. You sign into one app, and that in turn helps you sign into whatever other apps your IT department has authorized you to use. In this way, employees have to remember far fewer passwords, and enterprises can easily control who has access to what.

Apple explains this mysterious new iOS 13 feature as a "single sign‑on extension" that will allow employees to use their Face ID and Touch ID to login to the apps provided by the company.

Apple said it will work with "identity providers" and app developers on the feature but didn't say which ones.

Apple already works with tools that help manage corporate fleets of devices known as mobile device management (MDM). While Apple offers its own MDM software for iPhones, iPads, and Macs, there are tools that let IT departments manage PCs, phones, or tablets from multiple vendors.

Read: Why breaking up Facebook is a terrible idea

So its likely that Apple isn't going to try to completely compete with the likes of existing SSO products, like Okta or Microsoft Azure Identity Management, in the same way that its own tools don't compete with MDM providers.

It's also not clear if the enterprise SSO feature will allow enterprise employees to shield their email addresses from app developers, the same way that Sign in with Apple will work for consumer apps.

Taking a stand on privacy

What is clear is that Apple is stepping up with a technology alternative to signing in to apps with Facebook and Google IDs. Both of these companies collect loads of personal information on the people who use their services (and in some cases, even when you specifically don't give permission). They want to learn as much as they can about you so they can sell ads.

Facebook has been particularly come under the gun for its lax protection of the data it collects. Chris Hughes, one of its cofounders even called for it to be broken up. But Google has also been on the hot seat over privacy too.

And that's been a boon to arch-competitor Apple as it increasingly positions itself as the privacy champion, since it doesn't sell ads.

Google is starting to feel the pressure, too. Last month, in an op-ed in the New York Times, Google's CEO tried to address its privacy reputation while taking a swipe at Apple, saying ''privacy cannot be a luxury good."

Apple isn't the only one working on disrupting Facebook and Google's hold on app identity sign-ons. Cloud-identity management company Okta is working on technology and a standard that will let users control their passwords and data shared on the internet.

And Microsoft last month released an open-source digital-identity tool based the blockchain, the tech that powers Bitcoin, that also promises to let users control their own data online.

NOW WATCH: WATCH: The legendary economist who predicted the housing crisis says the US will win the trade war

• The new Mac Pro that Apple unveiled on Monday resembles its earlier professional desktop computers.
• The design of the new machine is a tacit acknowledgement of the magnitude of one of Apple's biggest design mistakes in its history: the much-maligned "trash-can" Mac Pro computer.
• The new model fixes the biggest problem of the trash-can version — its lack of expandability.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

On Monday, Apple CEO Tim Cook and company acknowledged just how big a blunder they made with the last version of the company's professional desktop computer.

The new Mac Pro that Craig Federighi, Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, unveiled at the company's annual developer conference in San Jose, California, looked awfully familiar to anyone who has followed the company's line of professional computers over the years. The computer's metal rectangular case, its handles, and its easy expandability are reminiscent of the professional desktop computers Apple soldfor more than decade before debuting the model critics derided as a trash can in 2013. Even the new Mac Pro's cheese-grater-like air vents look like more of an iteration than a complete rethinking of those found in the earlier computers.

In other words, to finally bring its flagship Mac into the future, Apple went back to its past, tacitly admitting that its last design was a complete and utter dead end.

The admission has been a long time coming. When Apple unveiled the trash-can Mac Pro at its developer conference six years ago, Phil Schiller, the company's head of marketing, touted it as a prime example of how the company could still make breakthrough products despite a growing chorus of criticism that the iPhone maker was simply riding on its past success.

"Can't innovate, my ass," he declared to a delighted crowd.

Apple's trash can was a dead end

But the design eventually lost its luster. Year after year, Apple failed to update the computer. The model got long in the tooth — and then even longer in the tooth. More than two years ago, company officials admitted in a meeting with a select number of journalists that they'd made an error with the design and said they were working on a new model. Initially, they said it would be out last year, then pushed that back to this year.

Despite acknowledging the misstep, Apple officials did not offer any kind of preview of what the new Mac Pro would look like. They didn't give any sense of how different the new one would be or what direction they'd head in with the design. So it wasn't certain how big a mistake they thought they'd made.

That's crystal clear now.

With the new Mac Pro, Apple is seeking to address the biggest problem with the trash-can model — its lack of expandability. Owners of the new model will be able to easily open the computer's case and add in or swap out components.

The trash can model was built much like other Apple products — it was basically designed so that users couldn't get at its innards. Just like Apple designed the iPhone so that replacing the battery is difficult, it made the Mac Pro in such a way that users found it difficult to impossible to swap out its components. Instead, the company expected users to upgrade their Mac Pros by plugging in new hardware and accessories through the computers' high-speed Thunderbolt ports.

But that wasn't a great solution for the kinds of users that owned Mac Pros. Video producers and game designers need to be able to swap out graphics cards, augment their computers' memory, add bigger drives, and more in order to keep up with the increasingly data-intensive applications and content they work with.

Users couldn't upgrade the can, and Apple couldn't either

As one small example, editing a 4K movie — not to mention an 8K one — generally requires a lot more graphics processing power and memory than editing a regular high-definition one. Because of the way the Mac Pro was designed, though, video editors that used Mac Pros couldn't easily upgrade the computers' components. And they couldn't buy a new one because Apple itself hadn't upgraded it.

That fact is probably the most damning thing about that old design. It was so confining that Apple itself seems to have found it impossible to upgrade the computer. Instead, it abandoned the whole shape and went back to something that was tried and true.

If you're an Apple fan, that's actually a hopeful sign. For years, the company has staked its reputation on offering cutting-edge designs, repeatedly remaking the look and feel of its devices.

That philosophy has often served the company well. It's repeatedly come out with sleek devices that have set the standard for the industry. But occasionally — such as with the trash-can Mac Pro, the G4 Cube of earlier this century, and the easily damaged butterfly keyboard design of its latest laptops — it's taken wrong turns.

If Apple can trash the trash can, maybe it can one day free itself of the butterfly. Here's hoping anyway.

NOW WATCH: We had our earbuds tested for bacteria to find out if it's gross to share headphones

• Queen Elizabeth II on Monday seemed to offer subtle but diplomatic criticism of President Donald Trump's approach to global affairs. 
• As Trump sat next to her at the state banquet on his United Kingdom visit, the queen highlighted the "international institutions" that the US and the UK built together following World War II and a "hard won peace."
• "While the world has changed, we are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures: nations working together to safeguard a hard won peace," the queen said.
• Trump hasn't placed much value in institutions the US and the UK helped build after the war, such as NATO and the United Nations, and his foreign policy has often put his administration at odds with British leaders.
• Visit Business Insider's home page for more stories.

Queen Elizabeth II on Monday took a subtle jab at President Donald Trump's controversial attacks on allies and institutions the US and the United Kingdom built together in the wake of World War II — and she did so while standing next to the president. 

"As we face the new challenges of the Twenty-First Century, the anniversary of D-Day reminds us of all that our countries have achieved together. After the shared sacrifices of the Second World War, Britain and the United States worked with other allies to build an assembly of international institutions, to ensure that the horrors of conflict would never be repeated,"the queen said just a few days before the 75th anniversary of D-Day. 

The queen added, "While the world has changed, we are forever mindful of the original purpose of these structures: nations working together to safeguard a hard won peace ... Mr. President, as we look to the future, I am confident that our common values and shared interests will continue to unite us."

Trump has continuously placed strains on the "special relationship" between the US and the UK, and he has faced protests during his visit America's closest ally.

In an early-morning tweet on Monday, Trump attacked London Mayor Sadiq Khan as a "stone cold loser" who has done "terrible job," exhibiting a level of animosity toward a British leader not seen from any of the president's recent predecessors.

Khan has often been critical of Trump and, in a Saturday op-ed, wrote that Trump is "just one of the most egregious examples of a growing global threat," saying the "far right is on the rise around the world."

More broadly, Trump has tested the historic US-UK partnership via his attacks on US allies and institutions such as NATO and the United Nations.

The US and the UK played an instrumental role in founding both of these global institutions and are still powerful players within them, but Trump hasn't placed much stock in international cooperation since entering the White House. 

Read more:Trump appeared to touch the queen's back during dinner, which is a major violation of royal protocol

Indeed, the president's foreign policy has frequently put Washington at odds with London, which British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt alluded to while discussing Trump's visit on Monday. 

"We don't agree with everything [Trump] says or does,"Hunt said."We don't agree with his approach to climate change or the Iran nuclear deal ... But that doesn't mean we can't celebrate the fact that this is one of the most important alliances in history."

NOW WATCH: Fox News pundits are using white supremacist language tied to 'The Great Replacement' conspiracy theory

• CNN announced in May that 100 employees took voluntary buyouts amid debt restructuring by parent company AT&T. The same month, GateHouse Media laid off at least 159 people. That brought the number of media jobs eliminated in 2019 to over 2,900 along with other layoffs the same month.
• The cuts follow layoff announcements at BuzzFeed, Verizon, Vice Media, McClatchy, Machinima, and Gannett — the largest newspaper publisher in the US.
• It is estimated that between 2014 and 2017, some 5,000 media jobs were cut from the market.

The media industry continued to announce large cuts in May as CNN and GateHouse Media announced buyouts and layoffs respectively. 

The announcements followed large rounds of layoffs earlier in the year from companies like BuzzFeed, Verizon, and Vice Media.

The massive cuts so far this year represent a recent trend in media that has seen upstart companies and newspapers alike shrinking and disappearing.

Here are the media jobs lost so far in 2019:

SEE ALSO: Vice Media was once flying high with buzzy branded content and a lucrative millennial audience. Now it's planning to cut 10% of employees

GateHouse Media: at least 219 jobs, May and January

GateHouse Media, one of the largest local newspaper publishers in the United States, quietly laid off journalists across the US in multiple large rounds throughout the year.

At the end of January, Business Insider confirmed at least 60 layoffs at various local newspapers owned by the company. The layoffs focused on local sports reporters and photographers, some of whom worked at their papers for over 30 years.

At the end of May, GateHouse reportedly laid off at least an additional 159 people at newspapers across the country, including reporters, editors, and other staff.

The cuts seemingly began after the $30 million acquisition of Schurz Communications Inc., which immediately resulted in 11 cut jobs at three publications in Maine and Indiana.

After first-quarter losses, other cuts began in May. When Business Insider inquired about the cuts, New Media CEO Mike Reed called them "immaterial." He later told Poynter that layoffs would only number around 10 people. 

CNN: 100 jobs, May 6

On May 6 it was reported that more than 100 employees at CNN took buyouts amid corporate restructuring efforts. The buyouts were offered to employees who had hit retirement age, with four weeks of pay for every year of service — potentially providing two years' worth of pay total, according to Deadline.

A CNN representative told Deadline that the buyouts were explicitly not related to layoffs, but the move comes as AT&T — which owns CNN — attempts to restructure billions in debt.

New Orleans Times-Picayune: 161 jobs, May 2

In May, New Orleans' Times-Picayune was acquired by one of its competitors, The Advocate. All 161 employees of the Times-Picayune were laid off.

The Times-Picayune had long been the city's paper of record and had won numerous Pulitzer Prize awards for its reporting on Hurricane Katrina.

In 2012, the paper reduced its publication days to three days a week and put focus on its NOLA.com site. In 2013, the paper resumed daily publishing, but only after The Advocate swooped in and began publishing the New Orleans addition that would prove to be fatal competition for the paper.

G/O Media: 25 jobs, April 30

Despite G/O Media CEO Jim Spanfeller claiming he didn't anticipate layoffs after he joined the new conglomerate (which comprises Gizmodo Media Group and The Onion), the company laid off 25 people, or 6% of its staff, in late April, Variety reported. The cuts included top editors and veteran reporters.

Spanfeller said that despite the cuts he planned to hire above the original headcount by the end of 2019. In May, there were only five postings on Gizmodo Media Group's job site.

Circa News: 16 jobs, March 26

Sinclair Broadcast Group's Circa News shuttered on March 26, 2019, with the company citing challenges facing small publishers.

"While we see new business opportunities with digital video and OTT, they do not require the daily publishing of a website," Sinclair told The Washington Post.

Sinclair told the publication that 16 employees would be laid off, and 22 would be integrated into Sinclair's news team.

Circa started as a news app in 2012 and was shut down in 2015 after failing to find a large user base. Sinclair bought and relaunched the property later that year.

Red Deer Advocate: 25 jobs, March 26

In late March, the CWA Canada media union announced that Alberta's local Red Deer Advocate, owned by Black Press Group, had laid off 26 staffers across the news and mail room.

Along with the cuts, Black Press announced it was shutting down the paper's weekly edition.

Digg: 2 jobs, March 26

Former tech legend turned new media company Digg.com laid off two editors in March, shrinking the number of employees to 10.

The staffers affected were the managing editor and the features editor, both of whom wrote and edited original content on the primarily aggregated site, indicating a refocusing on aggregation for the brand that in the last few years had branched out to publishing original writing and video.

The layoffs follow the sale of Digg in 2018 to ad-tech company BuySellAds, which cleaved off nearly half of the company.

In a statement to Business Insider, BuySellAds CEO said: "This does not mark the end of original content at Digg, nor does it hint at a major change in direction or strategy. We continue to believe in the publication just as much as the day we acquired it."

The Plain Dealer: 41 jobs, March 15

Cleveland's The Plain Dealer newspaper announced on March 15 that it would lay off 12 newsroom employees in addition to 29 previously announced layoffs scheduled for May. Editor George Rodrigue told union members by email that "since around 2001 newspaper advertising revenue has been plummeting."

The union has asked for the paper to wait until after an upcoming subscription drive to make the cuts and has vowed to fight them.

"This is a catastrophe for Cleveland and for local journalism," Guild unit chairman Ginger Christ said, according to Cleveland.com.

The 29 positions at stake are production jobs, which are being moved to a third-party factory that the paper is contracting. The additional 12 jobs are in the paper's news department.

First Look Media: 9 jobs, March 13

On March 13, First Look Media — the parent company of Glenn Greenwald's The Intercept and Laura Poitras' Field of Vision — laid off seven staff members and two contractors (4% of the group) across the company.

Three of those laid off were tasked with maintaining and securing the company's archive of materials leaked to Greenwald and Poitras by Edward Snowden. The Snowden archive was also shut down with the layoffs. 

First Look Media CEO Michael Bloom told staffers that the company had decided to "focus on other editorial priorities" after mining the Snowden archive for five years, the Daily Beast reported.

Bloom continued: "It is our hope that Glenn and Laura are able to find a new partner — such as an academic institution or research facility — that will continue to report on and publish the documents in the archive consistent with the public interest."

New York Media: 32 jobs, March 11

New York Media, the family-held owner of New York Magazine, Vulture, and other properties, laid off 32 employees on March 11 as part of a restructuring. The cuts affected 16 full-time employees and 16 freelance or part-time workers, according to a statement from the company.

"The departments most especially affected include audience development/circulation, copy, fact, production, and video," the company said.

In November, the company announced that all its online content would go behind a paywall, which it said was part of the reason for the cuts.

"In some cases, the changes we are making reflect a need for new focus as we build out our digital subscription business; in others, they reflect an overdue integration of print and digital staff," read the statement.

Last year the company said it was considering a sale; this year its staff formed a union.

Metro: 3 jobs, March 7

On March 7, Philadelphia's Inquirer reported that three staffers in Philadelphia had been laid off from the free tabloid Metro, which also publishes in New York City and Boston, where there were also layoffs.

The team was told the news over the phone from a new executive team in New York, and were shell-shocked, according to The Inquirer. The paper is said to be refocusing on building readership among train and bus riders in the city.

St. Louis Post-Dispatch: 23 jobs, March 4

Fourteen people took voluntary buyouts at the legendary St. Louis Dispatch in March, following the paper's announcement in January that it would offer 15 buyouts and downsize offices.

In February, nine design, copy, and layout employees were laid off when the paper decided to outsource the work. 

The Dispatch laid off five people in 2018 and had another round in 2015.

Canadian Living, Style at Home, Elle Canada: 28 staffers, February 19

On February 19, Canadian Living, Style at Home, and Elle Canada magazines, owned by Groupe TVA, cut as many as 28 staffers.

According to an email from the company's VP of communications to J-Source, the company will move the headquarters of Canadian Living and Style at Home from Toronto to Montreal as part of the restructuring.

The company said: "In the context of the magazine industry undergoing numerous worldwide changes, TVA Publications had to reconfigure its internal structure. This decision will allow TVA Publications to continue to offer its readers and its advertisers high-quality brands that perform well in Canada."

Canadian Living and Style at Home were acquired in 2014 by Groupe TVA, which also owns Les Publications Transcontinental-Hearst Inc. — the owner of Elle Canada and Elle Quebec, according to J-Source.

Machinima: 81 jobs, February 1

Machinima, what used to be one of the largest video producers online, announced that it was closing in statements to news outlets February 1.

"Machinima has ceased its remaining operations, which includes layoffs," a spokesperson told The Hollywood Reporter, announcing that 81 jobs had been cut.

The company, which made gaming content for YouTube, was bought by WarnerMedia and housed under Otter Media in 2016 but stopped publishing material in January. 

Otter Media announced that it had cut 10% of staff in December.

Vice Media: 250 jobs, February 1

The Hollywood Reporter first reported layoffs at Vice Media. According to the report, the Brooklyn-based media company will cut about 250 jobs across the company in the coming week, with the aim of trimming down and helping the organization become profitable.

"Having finalized the 2019 budget, our focus shifts to executing our goals and hitting our marks," CEO Nancy Dubuc wrote in an email to staff.

Vice Media will refocus around its TV production unit, its international news team, its digital properties, and its original TV content.

Staff members in the US, who are unionized, are set to receive payouts of their accumulated paid time off, 10 weeks of severance, and medical benefits.

The cuts were previewed in a Wall Street Journal report in November that said the company would cut staff in part because of audience attrition over the past three years.

The McClatchy Co.: 450 jobs, February 1

On February 1, The McClatchy Co., which owns properties such as the Miami Herald and the Kansas City Star, emailed staffers to announce that 450 employees would be offered voluntary buyouts as part of a "functional realignment," essentially signaling that the jobs have been marked out of the budget.

The news was first reported by the Miami New Times. It followed McClatchy's failed attempt to buy Tribune Publishing in 2018.

Verizon (Yahoo, AOL, HuffPost): 800 jobs, January 23

In late January it was reported that Verizon would cut 7% of its staff at its media companies (an estimated 800 people), which include Yahoo, AOL, and The Huffington Post.

"These were difficult decisions, and we will ensure that our colleagues are treated with respect and fairness, and given the support they need," Guru Gowrappan, CEO of Verizon Media, said in a memo to staff.

It's estimated that 20 employees were laid off at HuffPost last Thursday, including opinion writers, political reporters, and others. Nearly 100 corporate Verizon employees were reportedly laid off in San Francisco.

The layoffs are in addition to the 10,400 employees that Verizon is looking to shed by the middle of 2019 as part of a buyout program announced in December.

Gannett: 400 jobs, January 23

Newspaper giant Gannett reportedly laid off journalists across the US the same day that Verizon's layoffs were reported, following a round of voluntary buyouts.

Gannett has been quiet about the layoffs, but Poynter reported on cuts that affected editors and senior journalists at local papers owned by Gannett in regions across the US. The New York Post reports that cuts affected as many as 400 people. In total, Gannett owns over 100 news entities.

The layoffs came after Alden Global Capital made a $1.3 billion hostile takeover bid to take control of the company, which it says it's reviewing.

BuzzFeed: 200 people, January 23

BuzzFeed announced last Wednesday it would lay off about 220 employees, slashing jobs in its news, LGBTQ, international, and other divisions.

The layoffs ruffled feathers among media watchers when employees working outside of California were not offered payouts for their accrued paid time off, a decision that was eventually reversed after BuzzFeed CEO Jonah Peretti met with staff council and was called out on the publisher's own streaming show, AM2DM.

Laid-off BuzzFeed employees also received a notable amount of harassment from trolls online, NBC News reported.

In a memo published by Digiday on Tuesday, Peretti said the company would refocus its efforts on BuzzFeed Originals (home to quizzes and viral videos), commerce content, branded content, and branded production and publishing.

In 2018, BuzzFeed laid off its in-house podcasting team and restructured its advertising group.

Condé Nast: 10 jobs, January 10

Job cuts hit Condé Nast in January, quietly eliminating several positions across its properties.

Slate reported that on January 10, the day Condé Nast's Wired magazine moved onto a new floor of One World Trade Center, five employees were let go. In November, Wired cut five staffers devoted to its Snapchat channel.

WWD reported cuts also hit editors at Glamour and junior staff at GQ magazine.

In 2018, multiple executives left the company ahead of an unspecified number of layoffs on its digital side.

The Dallas Morning News: 43 jobs, January 7

The Dallas Morning News eliminated 43 jobs, according to the Columbia Journalism Review, half of them in the newsroom, on January 7. The cuts affected journalists who covered immigration, transportation, the environment, and the courts.

In a letter, publisher Grant Moise said the cuts would reduce costs and begin a refocusing of the paper. Moise said the editorial and opinion section would be merged, and arts coverage would be reduced.

It's estimated that between 2014 and 2017, 5,000 journalism jobs disappeared.

The cuts represent a seismic shift in the media landscape. According to the Pew Research Center, a total of 5,000 media jobs left the market between 2014 and 2017, including growth in the digital sector.

Donald Trump is in the UK for an official state visit, where he'll be spending three days meeting with UK officials including Prime Minister Theresa May. On Monday, President Trump and First Lady Melania Trump, along with Trump's four adult children, attended a state banquet at Buckingham Palace hosted by Queen Elizabeth.

Kate Middleton and Prince William were in attendance for the banquet, and Middleton was photographed arriving at the vent with US Secretary of the Treasury Steven Mnuchin.

The Duchess of Cambridge donned a white, bridal-inspired dress by Alexander McQueen, according to Harper's Bazaar UK, the same British fashion house behind her 2011 wedding gown, designed by Sarah Burton, and one of her go-to brands. The all-white frock featured ruffles throughout, a sweetheart neckline, and cap sleeves, with a full skirt.

She accessorized with her beloved Queen Mary's Lover's Knot tiara, which she has worn a few times before and was also worn by her late mother-in-law, Princess Diana, according to People magazine She also wore sapphire and diamond droplet earrings from the queen and styled her hair in a regal chignon for the engagement.

Middleton also wore a red, white, and blue sash and the yellow ribbon of the Queen's Royal Order over her gown, with People reporting that the sash was a gift from the Queen for her eighth wedding anniversary in April. Monday's appearance marks the first time Middleton has worn the sash for a public appearance.

Harper's Bazaar reported that the sash represents her appointment as a Dame Grand Cross of the Royal Victorian Order (GCVO), an appointment that the queen awards for distinguished service to the monarch, and is considered the highest ranking of chivalry.

Aside from the Trump family, Queen Elizabeth, and the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, notable guests at the banquet dinner included Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall, Prince Charles, Prime Minister Theresa May, and Princess Anne, per a post on the royal family's Instagram page.

Both Trump and Queen Elizabeth gave speeches at the banquet, closing out the first of Trump's three days in the UK.

• Apple is nixing the iTunes app in the next version of its Mac software, it announced at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference.
• With macOS Catalina, the contents of iTunes will now be split up between three apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV. 
• Here's what will happen to your library of music, movies, podcasts, and shows. 
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

It's official: iTunes is dead. 

Apple announced on Monday at its annual Worldwide Developers Conference that the standalone iTunes app will be killed off when the company rolls out its new software for Macs this fall. 

Under macOS Catalina, as the new version of the Mac operating system is called, Apple will nix iTunes in favor of three apps: Apple Music, Apple Podcasts, and Apple TV. 

For die-hard iTunes users — the people who have been storing music, movies, and shows in there for years and have an extensive library built up — this might sound scary. What will become of all your stuff?

Don't worry — it probably isn't going anywhere. Here's what Apple is planning for iTunes in macOS Catalina. 

SEE ALSO: Here's everything Apple just announced at WWDC, its biggest event of the year

Apple Music will become the home for all things, well, music.

Apple is redesigning the Music app for Macs to accommodate the elimination of iTunes.

Now your entire music library will live inside one app, including downloaded songs, purchased songs, and songs ripped from a CD, according to Apple. 

Plus, you can still buy songs if you really want to: Apple will still offer an iTunes Store.

The Apple TV app is coming to the Mac.

Starting this fall, the Apple TV app will live on all of your devices — iPhone, iPad, Mac, and, of course, your Apple TV. 

That means that rather than renting movies and TV shows through iTunes on your Mac, you'll watch everything through the Apple TV app. Apple said that more than 100,000 iTunes shows and movies would be ported into the Apple TV app, and they'll be available to rent or buy. 

The app will include Apple TV channels, so you can stream shows and movies from your favorite channels and services (although that's less necessary on a Mac where you can also just watch them on the channel's website). 

On top of that, the app will contain Apple's original streaming service, Apple TV Plus, once it becomes available this fall. 

What Apple hasn't clarified yet is whether your previously purchased iTunes movie and TV shows will be routed into the Apple TV app. But given how Apple plans to handle your music library, it'll likely do the same with visual content. 

Apple Podcasts will now be a one-stop shop for all of your podcasts.

The way it works right now, there's a Podcasts app on the iPhone, but there's also a Podcasts section of iTunes on the Mac. This doesn't make a whole lot of sense, and thankfully, Apple is changing that. 

Now there will be a standalone Podcasts app on the Mac that should work the same as the one on your phone. Apple said it would offer more than 700,000 shows, as well as perks like the ability to get a notification when there's a new episode of one of your favorite shows. 

Plus, the app will feature curated collections and better search tools to help you find new podcasts to listen to. 

There's one more crucial change involving iTunes coming in macOS Catalina.

You know how right now, when you plug your iPhone into your Mac, iTunes opens automatically? Isn't it annoying? 

Well, Apple seems to have realized this because in macOS Catalina, nothing will happen when you plug your phone into your computer. Seriously — Apple even did a demo of this onstage at WWDC to prove it. 

Now when you plug your phone in, you'll see your device in the sidebar of your Finder and nothing more. 

However, Apple isn't eliminating using a cable to synch your phone and computer altogether — you'll still be able to sync your media that way, but you'll do it through the individual apps for music, movies, and podcasts. 

• Apple's next big update to its iPhone software, iOS 13, is expected this fall.
• Most of the new features in iOS 13 are aimed at consumers, but the company did include several key new items for business users, too.
• These include separating your work and personal lives on your phone and using Face ID to sign in to apps.
• Visit Business Insider's homepage for more stories.

Apple's next big update to its iPhone software, iOS 13, is expected this fall. While most of the new features in it are aimed at consumers, the company did unveil several key new updates for business users, too.

We don't have many details on these features. But Apple did provide a summary of them in its detailed list of new iOS 13 features released on Monday in conjunction with the start of its annual Worldwide Developers Conference, taking place this week in San Jose.

Here's what we know. 

An employee's personal device will be able to separate business apps and data. 

This is a feature called "user enrollment," and it's for people who use their own personal phone for work. We don't have details on how this will work, except that it involves having "separate iCloud accounts for your personal and work lives," as Apple's senior vice president of software engineering, Craig Federighi, described on stage on Monday. We presume it will be an option in Apple's Business Manager, the relatively new service Apple rolled out last year's WWDC, which lets IT department manage fleets of Apple devices and volume-licensed apps.

Apple already introduced ways to separate personal data on a phone owned by the company and controlled by IT when it released Business Manager, so this next step is important.

Worth noting: Google launched Android for Work way back in 2015, which provides similar functions.

Companies can create and manage Apple IDs for business users.

Since Apple relies so heavily on Apple ID logins for signing into devices and downloading apps, it's making this situation work better for businesses. Through Business Manager, an admin can create Apple IDs used by employees that will give them access to business-controlled services like the company's iCloud Drive and iCloud Notes.

Easier device setup for the IT department.

A feature called Automated Device Enrollment lets the admin include custom content and security settings when setting up a device. For businesses that own thousands of Apple devices, this just makes sense. Worth noting, many third-party mobile device management apps already help IT pros with such things.

Face ID and Touch ID to sign on to business apps and websites.

Apple is making it easier for a company's business apps and websites to use its biometric security features, although it's not clear yet if it will be a business version of Apple's cool new "Sign in with Apple" feature — a cool new feature for consumers that lets them sign into apps and websites without handing over their email or using Facebook or Google accounts.

• James Holzhauer's 32-game winning streak is over.
• The "spoiler alert" news began circulating Monday morning, and later leaked footage also appeared to show his defeat.
• He was beat by University of Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher.

After a day of spoiler alerts, and leaked clips, Monday night's East Coast airing of "Jeopardy!" confirmed the news: Yes, James Holzhauer's 32-game winning streak is over.

He was beat by University of Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher.

Holzhauer's impressive run was 42 games short of Ken Jennings' 74-game streak, but what Holzhauer lacked in longevity he made up for in winnings. He raked in a total of $2,462,216. 

His strategy to go after high-risk but high-reward clues, search for the Daily Doubles, and make high wagers meant that in 32 games he was only $58,484 shy of Jennings' $2,520,700 non-tournament winnings, according to The New York Times. (With tournaments, Jennings won $3,370,700.)

Though Holzhauer didn't surpass Jennings in either games won or total non-tournament earnings, he holds the top record for highest single-game winnings — and at least the nine spots below it, according to the "Jeopardy!" hall of fame.

The 34-year-old profressional sports gambler also had an impressive 11 games where he never buzzed in an incorrect answer.

• James Holzhauer, the current reigning "Jeopardy!" champion, has been dethroned after a 32-day winning streak.
• The Las Vegas resident and professional sports gambler took home more than $2.4 million before being dethroned tonight by a Chicago librarian named Emma Boettcher.
• Holzhauer's impressive daily totals were the result of how he played the game— he knew exactly when to hit the buzzer, how much to bet on Daily Doubles, and which clues to knock off the board first.

Making it onto the show "Jeopardy!" is challenging enough. But winning once you're in the studio is even more difficult.

Unless you know how to play the odds.

"Jeopardy!" champion, James Holzhauer, went on a 32-day winning streak before his reign came to an end tonight.

The 34-year-old sports gambler from Las Vegas broke the "Jeopardy!" record for earning the highest one-day total ever — $131,127 — on April 17.

He gave the infamous Ken Jennings a run for his money. However, Chicago librarian Emma Boettcher brought Holzahauer's impressive streak to halt tonight, stopping the former champion just $58,484 shy of Jennings's 74-day  total of $2,520,700 in 2004.

"What a game!" Alex Trebek said after tonight's episode ended.

All told, Holzhauer took home nearly $2.5 million. And his impressive daily totals were no accident. Although his trivia knowledge certainly contributed to his success, Holzhauer's 32-day total of $2,464,216 had more to do with how he played the game than the answers he got right or wrong.

Holzhauer's "Jeopardy!" strategy

Holzhauer made sure to hit the show's iconic buzzer at just the right time, as The Ringer has described. Holzhauer grilled "Jeopardy!" producer Maggie Speak about the specifics of the buzzer timing, trying to pinpoint precisely when the "Jeopardy!" staff activates the switch that enables contestants to ring in after host Alex Trebek finishes reading a clue.

This timing is crucial because if a contestant hits the buzzer just a hair too soon, he or she gets locked out for about a quarter of a second, which tends to be enough for a competitor to get a buzz in edgewise, according to The Ringer.

What's more, Holzhauer went for the high-value clues first. He tended to answer these correctly, aggregating a lot of money very quickly in the game. Then when he came across a Daily Double, he bet big, often doubling his total.

Even with these tricks, however, there's no question that Holzhauer's foundation of superior trivia knowledge helped him win again and again. On April 17, when he broke his own one-day winnings record, Holzhauer played a perfect game. In "Jeopardy!" terms, that means he was correctly responded to every one of the 41 questions he buzzed-in to answer. 

He has even said that a big part of his preparations involved reading children's books.

Despite his defeat, Holzhauer now holds the top 10 slots in the "Jeopardy!" rankings of single-day winnings; he has obliterated the $77,000 record set by Roger Craig in 2010. He sits in second place for longest winning streak and all-time regular-season earnings behind Ken Jennings.

What's more, according to the New York Times, Holzahauer won an average of $77,000 per game, more than double Jennings's rate. And whenever he buzzed in, he got it right 97% of time. For eleven of his 33 games, he answered every single question he buzzed in for correctly.

Middway through Holzahuer's run on April 17, Jennings gave the then-champ some kudos. "This is absolutely insane. I've always wanted to see someone try 'Jeopardy!' wagering this way who had the skills to back it up,"Jennings tweeted.

Slate went so far as to say Holzhauer could be the Serena Williams of "Jeopardy!".

Using game theory to bet on Final Jeopardy

Holzhauer isn't the only famous "Jeopardy!" champion who's gamed the game. Arthur Chu, a 35-year-old columnist from Albany, New York, had an impressive 11-day winning streak in 2014. (Though Chu had only netted a comparatively meager $298,200 when he was dethroned.)

Chu's goal wasn't to win the most money per day. Rather, he used game theory to give himself the highest probability of being able to return to the show the next day and play again.

He achieved this by modulating the way he placed his Final Jeopardy bets. Instead of betting to win, Chu purposefully wagered an amount that would result in a tie if both he and his trailing competitor correctly guessed the Final Jeopardy clue.

Leading contestants often bet $1 more than the tying wager. But in the event that they get the clue wrong and their opponents get it right, sometimes that means losing the game by just $1.

There were a few instances in which Chu wagered to tie when he didn't have to, and both he and his competitor moved on to the next day of play. To Chu, that's better than risking a loss.

He said he nicked this strategy from Keith Williams, a former "Jeopardy!" champion who now runs "The Final Wager" blog.

The hunt for Daily Doubles

Chu was also good at scouring the board for Daily Doubles. He consistently selected higher-value clues from the bottom of the board, bouncing from category to category to do so. In the Jeopardy annals, this is known as "The Forrest Bounce," after former champion Chuck Forrest who utilized the technique.

Bouncing from category to category has the added benefit of throwing off opponents who may have hit their stride in a single category.

When Chu came across a Daily Double in a category he knew nothing about — "The Sports Hall of Fame" for instance — he bet small. Pitifully small.

That way, even though Chu answered a sports question incorrectly, he only lost $5 and was still able to prevent his competitors (who might have more sports know-how) from getting the opportunity to bet big with the correct answer.

Holzhauer employed the same strategy of hunting for Daily Doubles and bouncing around between categories.

Though he was a less polarizing figure than Chu — many "Jeopardy!" fans took umbrage with Chu's seemingly blasé playing style — some worried that Holzhauer's record-breaking earnings would wreak havoc on the game show's finances.

But after tonight, those worries are — for now — moot, as Holzhauer has palmed the buzzer for the last time. The New York Times reported that Holzhauer — after high-fiving Boettcher following her win — said in an interview that he didn't feel too bad about it.

NOW WATCH: We spent a day behind the scenes of 'Jeopardy!' with Alex Trebek in 2017 — here's what he's really like

This is a preview of a research report from Business Insider Intelligence, Business Insider's premium research service. To learn more about Business Insider Intelligence, click here.

The mobile augmented reality (AR) market is quickly becoming primed for the retail space. By blending the online and in-store shopping journeys, mobile AR promises to provide an immersive digital shopping experience unlike anything shoppers have seen before.

Mobile AR is one of the most coveted technologies for improving the digital shopping experience among consumers. That’s because mobile AR can be used to bring the in-store experience to consumers’ homes by recreating the try-on experience. It allows online shoppers to test out multiple sizes and variations of products, or just see what a product looks like overlaid into their home — without making a true commitment to the purchase or a trip to the store. It can also be used in-store to quickly provide product information or guide users to the right item using location-based services.

Retailers that meet this need for mobile AR stand to pull ahead of the competition. Mobile AR can help build brand loyalty, heighten engagement, increase geographical customer reach, shorten conversion times, boost purchases of larger items, and cut down on returns.

In a new report, Business Insider Intelligence examines the importance of mobile AR to businesses in the retail space, explores the various ways brands are utilizing mobile AR to enhance the customer experience as well as their own, and determines the factors retailers should consider when devising a mobile AR strategy.

Here are some of the key takeaways from the report:

• Nearly 75% of consumers already expect retailers to offer an AR experience. Mobile AR retail experiences are more likely to come to fruition as Apple and Google continue to build out their AR developer platforms, ARKit and ARCore, respectively, which will expand the addressable market exponentially.
• Retailers in certain segments, including furniture and home improvement, as well as beauty and fashion, have been the first to jump on the mobile AR bandwagon through their own apps. These sectors appear to have the most immediate need for mobile AR strategies, as trying out furniture and clothes are two of the most coveted AR use cases by consumers.
• Social media is emerging as a prominent channel for retailers to reach consumers through mobile AR experiences. Platforms like Facebook and Snapchat continue to build out tools that businesses and developers can utilize to enhance their advertising strategies with immersive experiences.
• But retailers will have to consider several factors before implementing their mobile AR strategies. These include the cost of building AR experiences, the availability of AR-compatible smartphones, consumer awareness of mobile AR apps, and the quality of mobile AR content.

In full, the report:

• Explores the ways mobile AR brings value to the customer shopping experience. 
• Highlights how the consumer benefits of mobile AR can be transformed into valuable outcomes for retailers.
• Discusses how major retail brands are leveraging mobile AR to enhance the customer journey, and what goals they are striving to achieve.
• Outlines the several factors retailers and brands will have to consider before implementing their mobile AR strategies.

• On Monday at WWDC, Apple's annual developer conference, the company announced SwiftUI, a new tool for building mobile apps.
• SwiftUI is built on Swift, Apple's popular programming language, largely used to create iOS apps, and plugs into its Xcode programming environment.
• SwiftUI helps programmers quickly and easily design what the app looks like and how users will interact with it.
• Developers say they're excited about how SwiftUI allows them to write less code, while being able to see the results of the changes they make in real-time.
• Read more on the Business Insider homepage.

For many programmers, the most exciting announcement from Apple's annual WWDC developer conference wasn't its new Apple Watch features or its $1,000 monitor stand. Instead, it was a tool they could use for building iPhone apps.

This new tool that Apple announced at WWDC is called SwiftUI. It builds on Swift, Apple's popular programming language that has been used to build some 450,000 apps, by the company's own arithmetic, and plugs into Xcode, the software used to build iOS and iPad apps. 

SwiftUI includes special features that allow developers to quickly and easily build user interfaces, or what the app looks like and how users interact with it, using Swift. It even supports Apple's new Dark Mode, which darkens the whole interface to make it more visible in low-light settings. 

In some ways, this is Apple's answer to popular tools like React Native, which was originally created by Facebook, or Flutter, which is from Google. Both have found lots of success in Silicon Valley and beyond for helping developers create user interfaces. 

Still, developers all over the world are very excited to see what Apple has in store with SwiftUI. Indeed, of all the announcements at the WWDC keynote on Monday, it was SwiftUI that got the loudest applause. 

"The first thought is that it's like magic," Martin Lasek, an independent developer, told Business Insider. "They were literally showing how much less code you were writing...This is really promising. I want to start digging into it."

SwiftUI's special features

What's special about SwiftUI is that it uses declarative syntax, which means that developers can just state what they want the app to do, rather than having to type an entire set of instructions. For example, developers can just type what fonts, colors, and even animation effects they want to use for their app, without having to go into the nitty-gritty of describing each aspect in detail. This means that Swift code written with SwiftUI is much simpler and more concise.

"The level of detail and polish they wrote into their applications is something that doesn't exist in any competing framework," Orta Therox, an engineer on TypeScript at Microsoft, told Business Insider. "SwiftUI represents a different kind of programming mentality. SwiftUI is definitely the most polished developer experience for all of them so far."

In addition, with SwiftUI, as programmers work on their app, they can see the changes they make in real-time. It also works in reverse — developers can drag and drop features like buttons, fonts, and colors into new places, and the code will move itself around to match. 

Before, developers would have to wait for the code to build before they can see the changes in preview.

"This is the moment every developer is waiting for," Hemanth Alluri, an iOS engineer at Infosys, told Business Insider. "Even though Apple provides the best tools and powerful languages for their developers, it lags in auto generation output without building every time and writing a lot of code modules...These are all complexities that can be eliminated using the SwiftUI framework."

How developers plan to use it

Ignacio Segovia, chief enterprise architect at Altimetrik, predicts that SwiftUI will expand adoption of Swift. Currently, iOS apps are typically written in either Swift or an older language called Objective-C. However, he says, SwiftUI will be easier for both entry level and veteran programmers to use.

Segovia already plans to "aggressively" adopt SwiftUI.

"Building apps used to be an undertaking of several months," Segovia told Business Insider.  "With SwiftUI, I think this will lower the bar even further and make coding more universally available to people. As a developer, I'm just excited to use it. It will make Apple platforms more fun to use."

Shannon Potter, senior iOS engineer at WeTransfer, says that even though he does not think he will use SwiftUI in his day-to-day job, he plans to play around with it to see if there's anything new he can build. Before SwiftUI, he said that it was sometimes easy to lose track of where things were happening in the code, while this tool makes it easier to track.

"It's encouraging that Apple is forward thinking and making a framework that mirrors more sustainable ways for engineers to use their user interfaces," Potter told Business Insider. "I was impressed that they're trying to build something new from the ground up that represents what a lot of engineers are using and a lot of technologies from the web."

Even non-iOS engineers were impressed. Sam Debruyn, technical lead at 3factr, typically uses Microsoft's Xamarin to build mobile apps, but says that his interest was piqued. 

"The main thing when you develop an app is the time when you write code and when you see it on the screen," Debruyn told Business Insider. "With Xamarin, it takes about a minute to see what you've written. New frameworks like SwiftUI try to tackle that issue...It's shortening the time between when you code an app and when you see what it's doing.

NOW WATCH: Mount Everest is not the hardest mountain to climb — here's what makes K2 so much worse

• Spoilers for Monday's episode of "Jeopardy!"
• "Jeopardy" episodes are taped three months in advance and local TV stations only receive them the day before they're supposed to air.
• Contestants sign non-disclosure agreements and audience members also keep quiet about results out of "respect for the show and the process," the Atlantic reported.
• Visit INSIDER's homepage for more stories.

James Holzhauer has had a historic run on "Jeopardy!" these past few months, racking up $2.462 million in his 32-day streak. But a leaked video revealed a major spoiler about Holzhauer ahead of this week's episode.

Many people may not know that Monday's episode was actually taped on March 12

The Atlantic spoke to Andy Saunders, who runs The Jeopardy! Fan blog — and he filled them in on the fact that the show is taped farther in advance than many may realize.

Saunders also said that contestants sign non-disclosure agreements, and audience members are asked not to disclose results in advance — essentially, the results are one big shared secret among those who were there for a couple of months.

He also speculated that since local TV stations don't get each day's episode into their possession until the weekday before it airs, that it's most likely a local TV station employee who leaked the spoiler — that Holzhauer loses — online. This also means that everyone else involved had been keeping this secret for months, including Holzhauer, who couldn't help but make a joke ahead of the broadcast. 

The process that 'Jeopardy!' contestants go through involves signing a non-disclosure agreement

"Jeopardy!" tells a dramatic story when its winners start to go on streaks — but that wouldn't be possible if everyone knew the results ahead of time.

That's why contestants have to sign non-disclosure agreements. The Wisconsin Leader-Register spoke to Kathryn Kienholz, who won $22,000 on the show — but said she had to wait until 120 days past the air date of the show to actually claim her money to make sure she didn't violate the NDA.

One former "Jeopardy!" contestant — who asked not to be named — told Newsweek that the show crew may not have had audience members sign NDAs as well, but they were most definitely discouraged from talking about the taping outside the studio.

Over the weekend, Monday's episode leaked online and revealed early that Holzhauer lost during his 33rd game to a University of Chicago librarian named Emma Boettcher.

Holzhauer did not beat either of Ken Jennings' records. During Jennings' 2004 winning streak, he won 74 straight games in a row and totaled $2.52 million in prize money. At the end of Holzhauer's shorter streak, he still racked up a ton of money and was just $58,484 short of Jennings' total winnings according to the New York Times.
