Former Apple engineers introduced a small AI wearable called Button, resembling the iPod Shuffle, that runs only when pressed rather than listening continuously. The design is positioned as reducing privacy concerns linked to always-on AI wearables. Market attention, however, focuses on why the same functions cannot be delivered through a smartphone app. Skepticism is reinforced by weak reception for earlier AI wearables such as Humane AI Pin and Rabbit R1.
