Apple adds Siri Recap to Apple Watch, raising privacy concerns over always-listening AI

Apple has introduced Siri Recap on new Apple Watch models, a feature that summarises conversations in real time into short notes. Apple says it does not create or store audio recordings and that raw audio cannot be accessed by the operating system, apps, users or Apple. The company also unveiled Live Rewind, which shows a text view of the previous 15 seconds when the digital crown is pressed twice. Critics warn of privacy and consent concerns for people nearby.

Switch 2 edges Steam Deck on docked performance as OLED screen lifts Valve device

Nintendo\'s Switch 2 delivers graphics performance similar to Valve\'s Steam Deck in handheld mode but pulls ahead when docked, a comparison found. Switch 2\'s GPU rises to up to 3.7 TFLOPS when docked and supports features such as DLSS and some 4K output. Steam Deck does not gain performance when docked but has a stronger OLED display and relatively higher CPU clocks. Switch 2 costs $499, while Steam Deck models sell for $789 and $949.
