iFixit completed its teardown of the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, finding the Ultra 4 unchanged in repairability at 4/10 while the Series 12 showed slight gains thanks to new stretch-release adhesive and a pull tab for battery removal.

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple is working on a smart home camera that uses AI to generate text descriptions of what happens in a room instead of saving video footage, while still supporting facial recognition. Gurman says this approach mirrors how cameras in rumored future AirPods would operate, and resembles existing Audio Intelligence features on the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, which include opt-in tools like Live Rewind and Siri Recap that summarize or transcribe audio without storing full recordings.
