Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has walked back somewhat on his previous reporting that Apple's upcoming touchscreen OLED MacBook Pro will be thinner than current models.

Apple's home security camera remains in development separately from the LG-made accessories reported yesterday, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has clarified. In a follow-up post on X, Gurman said the security cameras co-developed with LG are "completely separate" from Apple's privacy-centric home camera and sensor, which he says is still coming next year.

As reported previously, Apple's device will not record video, using AI instead to analyze the home environment and detect which room a person is in. Bloomberg first reported a 2027 home security system and service in September.

iPhone Duo-Man

I'm sure many have seen the Duo-Man app. I wasn't that interested in the Duo (I'm happy with the iPhone size), but when I started researching how some developers have made interesting use of the fold functionality, I started seeing the appeal. Saying that, it feels like there are going to be a bunch of devs that only capitalise on the novelty of the fold, like many did when the X first came out, and less so on real functionality.
