Jennifer Pattison Tuohy of The Verge joins Mikah Sargent on this episode of Tech News Weekly! Apple is rumored to launch a series of AI-powered devices, the upcoming Pebble Time 2’s design is shown off, a look into a global SMS phishing scam ring, and the blood oxygen feature is returning to Apple Watches?
• Apple is seeking to expand its product offerings into AI-powered robots, home security, and smart displays, according to a report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman.
• Eric Migicovsky, founder of Pebble smartwatches, unveils the design of the company’s Pebble Time 2* watch.
• Harrison Sand, Senior Security Consultant for mnemonic, unveils Darcula. This global SMS phishing-as-a-scam ring sends SMS messages hoping to steal credentials from those who click on the links in the messages.
• And Apple announces that it’s bringing back the Blood Oyxgen feature for Apple Watches, which was a clever workaround following a recent U.S. Customs ruling against Masimo.
