“What is more concerning to me, to underscore on a point I made in a Bluesky post, is that Apple is opening the door to a world where other companies, device makers, and app developers try to recreate or rival Apple's technology and do a far shoddier job, all the while creating a worse surveillance monster and introducing new security and privacy risks along the way.

So far there have been a few companies and startups that made always-listening devices, like pendants, often including AI. Apple by comparison is one of the largest technology companies in the world and its global reach means millions of people will get these features and switch them on. Apple's market dominance, coupled with its decision to make always-listening tech, sets a precedent that signals it's OK for other companies to follow suit and normalize this intrusive tech. It also implies that there is money to be made in developing this technology, making it a space ripe for disruption (or exploitation) by profiteers.

Bloomberg ($) reports lawyers are already finding that Apple's always-listening tech is at odds with the law in several U.S. states. Some states require all parties' consent before being recorded, setting up the feature for potential legal battles down the line. This comes amid the rise of smart camera-enabled "pervert glasses" like those made by Meta and Snap, which have supercharged abuse and harassment against people by recording them without consent.”

Samsung is preparing for the next One UI 7 Watch Beta!

After the One UI 7 rollout resume and its aggressive rollout nature in Korea, Samsung is preparing for the One UI 7 Watch Beta Program by a new firmware for the Galaxy Watch7 and the Watch Ultra smartwatches. This is first spotted by Alfatürk in X where the firmware information for the Watch7 44mm version, SM-L310, was shown with the first Beta version of the upcoming One UI Watch.

We are, however, skeptical as it’s uploaded to a country, Türkiye (TUR), that was never eligible for any Beta program, but we’ve verified that the Korean firmware was also uploaded, and we expect that, just like the previous Beta program, only Korea and USA are eligible for this update, with the BT models being the only target.

The Korean firmware servers say:

• L300XXU1ZYDA (KOO)
• L310XXU1ZYDA (KOO)
• L700XXU1ZYDA (KOO)

We have no information about this build, but we’ll provide you with more information once Samsung makes the Beta program official, which will start during the first days of this summer.
