Apple’s wearable future is starting to come into focus, and cameras appear to be at its center. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that camera-equipped AirPods and Apple’s first smart glasses are currently on the roadmap for 2027. While they may look like ordinary accessories on the surface, both products could play a crucial role in helping Apple Intelligence understand the world around its users in real time. Your AirPods might start paying attention When most people think of AirPods, they think of music, podcasts, and phone calls. Cameras aren’t exactly high on the wishlist.

The next chapter of Apple Intelligence could start in your living room.  While rumors continue to swirl around foldable iPhones, smart glasses, and camera-equipped AirPods, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests two of Apple’s most familiar products could be getting Apple Intelligence sooner than expected.  That means the updated versions of the Apple TV and HomePod mini are currently in advanced testing and could arrive in 2027. If you’re hoping for a dramatic redesign, however, you may want to temper your expectations. The brains are changing, not the box Apple isn’t planning major hardware overhauls for either device. Instead, the focus appears…

Every day, I walk to the gym with my AirPods in. The reason is boringly practical. They give me one small setting I can adjust before the city starts pressing every button at once. Horns, engines, chatter, heat, gym music leaking through the door, somebody’s phone blasting videos at full volume. A city doesn’t ask politely before entering your skull. That idea gets flattened whenever earbuds are treated like proof that strangers no longer care about anyone around them. Silence in public can be rude, sure. A lot of the time, though, it’s maintenance. It’s someone deciding how much noise…

TikTok has spent years perfecting the art of knowing exactly what you want to watch next. Open the app, scroll a few times, and suddenly it’s serving videos that feel uncannily tailored to your interests. But what happens before TikTok learns who you are? According to new research from video editing platform Kapwing, the answer is increasingly AI slop. The study found that nearly 60% of the videos shown to a brand-new TikTok account were low-quality AI-generated content. That’s not a niche problem buried in obscure corners of the platform. It’s the first impression TikTok is making on new users…

Let’s be honest: few iOS design changes have sparked as much debate as Liquid Glass. When Apple first introduced it with iOS 26, the internet immediately split into two camps. Some people loved the fresh, translucent look, while others couldn’t stand it and felt it made parts of the interface harder to read. I happened to be firmly in the first camp. At the time, I was using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and installing the update was one of the first things I did. I loved how the new design made iOS feel more modern and dynamic. The transparency…

The house is quiet, but you’ve already started receiving notes. In the near future, you wake up at 6:43 am. The sleep tracker reports poor recovery. The watch recommends a lighter day, which is considerate, if not especially informed. Somewhere in the stack of sensors, last night has been converted into a verdict. There isn’t enough sleep or rest, and the day hasn’t even started asking for things yet. The device isn’t being especially cruel. In 2024, CDC/NCHS found that 30.5% of U.S. adults had short sleep duration, and only 54.8% woke up well-rested. The morning, apparently, now begins with…

Microsoft has released a new Insider Preview update for the modern Windows 11 Media Player. However, the app is facing criticism after tests revealed it uses more memory and opens local video files more slowly than the classic 17-year-old Windows Media Player. The update adds some useful fixes, including better captions, clearer codec errors, and improved file recognition. But the biggest complaints remain higher RAM usage and paid codec support for some common video formats. The update is not available to everyone yet.
