Apple is reportedly building a smart home camera that won't record video footage of you or anyone else
The device will apparently use AI to analyze activity in your home without actually filming it.
What the coverage shows
Both outlets frame the story as a report about Apple developing a smart home camera that would not record video footage. The Verge adds the most detail, saying the camera would give users text event descriptions and be part of a new Apple smart home ecosystem, while Engadget’s extract focuses more narrowly on AI analysis of home activity without filming.
