After months of speculation, Jony Ive confirmed in mid-September that he and a team of former Apple designers are working on hardware that will have ChatGPT at the core. While Ive said his LoveFrom design company will be involved in creating the product (or products?), he didn't reveal what form factor(s) we should expect. I labeled the product an iPhone competitor because the iPhone is an AI device, just like the Pixel and any other smartphone that can run native or third-party AI apps. The ChatGPT hardware will compete against the iPhone no matter what it looks like. The only thing we know about the gadget is that it "uses AI to create a computing experience that is less socially disruptive than the iPhone." Nearly three months later, I believe the ChatGPT device has to feature a key component, a pair of smart glasses that will truly let the user make the most of OpenAI's AI models. It's all thanks to what we witnessed on December 12th, a few short hours apart. Continue reading...

Microsoft had to recall the Recall AI feature on Copilot+ Windows PCs earlier this year. In theory, Recall was supposed to be a great AI trick to quickly resurface information from your past activities on a computer. In practice, it turned out to be a privacy and security nightmare. Researchers proved that Recall data could be easily accessed by a malicious actor who gains access to a computer. Also, the saved screenshots could contain sensitive information, and Recall was enabled by default on those Windows builds. Microsoft heard the complaints and pulled the feature to rework its security. As testers have found, Recall now encrypts the screenshots, making it impossible to extract information from the database. However, Recall will still take screenshots of sensitive data, including social security numbers, logins (including passwords), and credit card data. Even with protections in place, Recall mostly failed to recognize that sensitive data was entered on the screen in Tom's Hardware's tests. Continue reading...

When it demoed Project Astra at I/O 2024 in May, Google teased smart glasses for the first time. The company did the same thing during Wednesday's big Gemini 2.0 announcement, where the wearable was part of a longer Project Astra demo. Google also suggested Gemini AI smart glasses might be coming soon. At the time, I thought Google was simply showing off a prototype of a pair of Samsung XR glasses that would be unveiled next month during the Galaxy S25 Unpacked press event. Little did I know that Samsung and Google had bigger things in mind. A day later, the two companies unveiled Project Moohan, a Vision Pro spatial computer rival. Google also announced the Android XR platform that will power it. Both Samsung and Google mentioned smart glasses in their announcements. But Google's was more impressive, as the company showed off AR features for smart glasses powered by Gemini AI. Google didn't offer a name for the smart glasses or a release date. But the company did give a select few people a hands-on experience with Project Moohan and the unnamed smart glasses. It turns out the Gemini AI wearable is quite interesting, seemingly delivering the Google Glass experience that Google failed to offer more than a decade ago. Continue reading...

In September, Apple released the new iPhone 16 lineup. With that, the company finally stopped selling the 2021 iPhone 13 and only offered customers the following options through its store: iPhone SE 3 (2022) iPhone 14 (2022) iPhone 14 Plus (2022) iPhone 15 (2023) iPhone 15 Plus (2023) iPhone 16 series However, the French Apple blog iGeneration reports that Apple will discontinue all Lightning iPhone models in Europe at the start of 2025. Since European legislation requires all smartphones to have a universal USB-C port, the iPhone 14, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone SE 3 won't follow the rule, as they have a Lightning port. There's always the possibility that Apple could tweak those smartphones with a USB-C port, as the company has done with the AirPods Max. However, it doesn't seem Cupertino will follow that path. Of course, a fourth-generation iPhone SE is expected to launch early next year, which means the current generation will soon be discontinued anyway. Besides that, when Apple introduces the iPhone 17 line, it will also stop selling the iPhone 14 and iPhone 14 Plus. In other words, Apple is set to discontinue all three of these old iPhone models anyway in 2025. Still, if you're not in Europe, you don't need to worry about any of this, as Apple will continue to sell them until new models are introduced over the course of the year. The new iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a design like the iPhone 14 with a single camera, the A18 processor, and Apple's new 5G modem. By the second half of 2025, Cupertino is rumored to launch the iPhone 17 lineup, including an all-new iPhone 17 Air, which will be the thinnest iPhone to date with some high-end features but hardware that's not as good as an iPhone Pro. BGR reached out to Apple but did not hear back at the time this story was published. We'll update it if we hear from the company.
