\n\u2022 Mikah talks about a new wearable AI companion device called Friend and how these always-listening devices present privacy challenges for not just others around the user but also for the company itself.
\n\u2022 And Zac Hall of 9to5Mac was at Apple’s ‘Awe Dropping’ event this past Tuesday and was fortunate to get his hands on the new hardware the company announced. He shares his initial thoughts on the new AirPods Pro 3 and iPhone Air!<\/p>\n
