1 - Apple is Making An AI Pin

Apple is making a new wearable device that can listen and talk to you. This comes after other companies like OpenAI started making similar products. Apple tried something like this before with the Humane AI Pin, but it didn't work well.

What we know:

1. The device looks like a round, flat circle. It's about as big as an AirTag but a bit thicker. It's made from metal and glass with a button, speaker, place to charge it, and two cameras.

2. Apple wants to release it in 2027. They plan to make 20 million of them. They want to compete with OpenAI's new device that was designed by Jony Ive.

3. It has three microphones so you can talk to it and it can record conversations. It might work with smart glasses or by itself. Some people worry about privacy because it can record what you say.

   

   Apple is also making Siri better to compete with ChatGPT and Gemini. This new device shows Apple wants to make computers that are around us all the time.

2 - Nano Banana Prompt Of The Day

Prompt: "Create a hyper-realistic reference person photo drawing on a single canvas, in a vertical 9:16 aspect ratio.
Only one person is present in the scene.
The subject is the same person from the provided reference image, seated or standing in front of a large white canvas, actively drawing a realistic self-portrait of himself. The person is mid-action, holding a pencil or fine pen, focused and calm, with natural posture and believable hand positioning.
The person himself is rendered in a realistic photo-drawing style, preserving exact facial likeness, proportions, and features from the reference image with no stylisation or exaggeration.
On the canvas, the artwork clearly depicts the same person’s face, matching his likeness, drawn in a refined technical illustration style using fine cross-hatching, clean ink lines, and soft graphite shading. The self-portrait on the canvas mirrors his expression and facial structure.
Lighting is soft and directional, creating gentle shadows across the face, hands, and canvas. The background is minimal and clean white, keeping all focus on the artist and his self-portrait.
Ultra-high detail, sharp focus, realistic textures, professional illustration quality."
