Meta's next big wearable might make Apple very nervous
Screen in your specs While the leaked render doesn't clearly show the screen, multiple sources suggest it'll support limited AR-style functionality. Combined with a camera upgrade and enhanced AI features, this would push Meta's wearables beyond the passive capture use cases of current Ray-Ban models.

It's said to display a home screen of circular app icons — like the camera, photo gallery, maps, and notifications from apps like WhatsApp and the leaked render doesn't clearly show the screen, multiple sources suggest it'll support limited AR-style functionality. Combined with a camera upgrade and enhanced AI features, this would push Meta's wearables beyond the passive capture use cases of current Ray-Ban models. Meta is already said to be working on a second-generation model, Hypernova 2, with dual displays, though that version likely won't arrive until at least 2027. An aggressive move from Meta that Apple should take seriously Meta's Hypernova is rumored to cost between $1,000 and $1,400, a clear jump from the Ray-Bans but still far below something like the Apple Vision Pro (although it might be close to the rumored Apple Vision Air). That price might reflect not just the added hardware, but also Meta's growing ambitions in the smart glasses market — where it's quickly becoming the brand to is already said to be working on a second-generation model, Hypernova 2, with dual displays, though that version likely won't arrive until at least 2027. This leak comes just days after This leak comes just days after Apple sent out a survey to Vision Pro users asking about their experiences with devices like the Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses and Amazon's Echo Frames — a clear sign that Apple is taking this category seriously. With its own smart glasses expected to debut in 2026 or 2027, it looks like Meta and Apple are headed for a showdown in the XR headset market. According to earlier reports , this band is codenamed Ceres and is designed to support intuitive gesture controls. Think scrolling by rotating your wrist or selecting items with a finger pinch — an idea originally developed for Meta's unreleased Orion AR headset The wristband would work in tandem with capacitive touch panels on the glasses' frames, possibly allowing users to ditch voice commands entirely in favor of subtle, touchless interactions.

Facebook now uses the photos in your phone to train its Meta AI (if you allow it)
Tech giants like Google and Microsoft, as well as social networks like Facebook, have been pushing for more laxed regulations of their AI tools. Unfortunately, in their endeavor to refine their AI, many times these companies purposefully invade the privacy of their users, even though often times that appears to be done with their this regard, it looks like Facebook has added a new AI-related feature for both iOS and Android users, which asks them to opt into 'cloud processing,' which in turn will allow the social network to provide them with 'creative ideas' when posting a new Story. Facebook users on phones must tap 'Allow' if they want to start using this feature and agree to Meta's AI Terms of Service. Once they agree, Facebook will be able to use its AI to analyze their media and facial features. More importantly, Meta's AI terms mention that it has the right to 'retain and use' all personal information users who agreed with its terms have shared, in order to offer these suggestions. Some Facebook users on Android and iOS have noticed a new option under the Settings, which asks for user's permission to enroll if they want to ' get camera roll suggestions when you're browsing Facebook .' When this feature is enabled, Facebook users will ' occasionally see photos and videos from your camera roll as new sharing suggestions .' Facebook claims that it will use basic camera roll data, including videos the user has favorited, as well as when exactly the photos were taken. Even more intrusive is the option below, which is meant to provide users with ' personalized creative ideas, like travel highlights and collages .' In order to receive these, Facebook users must allow Meta to select media from their camera roll and upload it to the company's cloud 'on an ongoing basis.' Then, Facebook will choose media based on info like time, location, themes and presences of people or objects. According to the social giant, only you will be able to see the suggestions, but you can share them if you want. Facebook cloud processing | Image credit: TechCrunch Facebook confirmed to TechCrunch that it's indeed running a test in the US and Canada, but mobile users won't be affected by this feature unless they decide to opt-in. – Maria Cubeta, Communications Manager, Video at Facebook, June 2025 Meta has been one of the most aggressive proponents of AI. The company's CEO, Mark Zuckerberg, is obsessed with creating a 'superintelligence,' which is why Meta now has a new division called Meta Superintelligence Labs. The move follows a rather lukewarm reception of Meta's Llama 4 model, which seems to have been outsmarted by the competition including DeepSeek, Google, and OpenAI.

Gemini's sparkle icon gets a colorful twist to match Google's new look
Since its launch, Gemini has used a blue-purple gradient to distinguish itself from other AI tools. The icon design featured a four-pointed sparkle, which has now become somewhat of a visual shorthand across the AI space. But with so many other platforms using similar designs, it makes sense that Google would want to clarify its identity. The updated version of the Gemini icon keeps the same sparkle shape, but each point now features a different color: blue, red, yellow, and green. The right side of the icon is mostly blue, while the left incorporates a subtle gradient for added depth. This new look aligns more closely with the refreshed 'G' logo that Google recently rolled out. The new Google gradient logo that appears throughout the Pixel's UI. | Image credit — PhoneArena This latest change was spotted in beta version 16.25 of the Google app on Android. So far, the icon has only appeared in one location: during the generation of Audio Overviews. It has not yet been rolled out more broadly across the Gemini app on Android, iOS, or desktop. However, this limited appearance may be a preview of what's to come. The newly discovered gradient Gemini icon. | Image credit — 9to5Google This isn't the first time Google has adjusted the Gemini branding. Back in April, the company slightly tweaked the icon's colors to make the app more visible on homescreens. And in May, when Gemini Advanced was rebranded to "AI Premium," the red version of the Gemini logo quietly disappeared. While this new multi-colored icon might seem like a small update, it shows a more deliberate branding move. With AI services growing across Google's platforms, having a clear and consistent design helps users tell products apart. It also helps the Gemini icon feel more tied to the Google brand. From a branding perspective, this change makes sense. The new color treatment reinforces that this is Google's AI product, not just another assistant. With its new look, the Gemini icon now stands out more clearly in a sea of similar designs. We'll have to wait and see if this updated design rolls out more widely soon. But it looks like another step toward making Gemini feel like a central part of Google's AI plans. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!
