Apple is rumored to be working on an iPad-like tabletop device similar to the Echo Show and Nest Hub, with a potential debut in 2026 featuring a thin robotic arm and large display. The device may include features like tilting and rotating, utilizing Apple’s DockKit software for tracking users. However, concerns about consumer interest and the high price point of around $1,000 have been raised. The development involves hundreds of Apple employees and is closely tied to Apple Intelligence tools and Siri. On a separate note, Meta has shut down CrowdTangle, a popular analytics tool, and introduced the Meta Content Library with tighter restrictions. This decision comes amidst pressure from various groups, including researchers and lawmakers. Additionally, the latest game from Red Barrels, The Outlast Trials, is inspired by dark real-life experiments, offering a cooperative horror experience for players.
