Apple unveils a watch that listens to conversations and summarizes them, and a way to prove a photo was not made by SI

The SI assistant moves to the wrist and listens all the time, while photos get an "authenticity passport". Life gets more convenient, but the question of privacy becomes an everyday one.
At its fall event, Apple's main SI announcements were: the Siri Recap feature in Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4, which uses background listening to record conversations and itself composes a title, a summary and key points; recordings are not stored, it does not recognize speakers, and it can be on all the time or on a schedule. The iPhone 18 Pro gets Reference Image — a signed copy of the shot straight from the sensor, a "digital negative", against which an edited version can be compared; Apple also backed the SynthID standard for labeling SI images. The hinge of the first foldable iPhone Duo was tuned to the body with the help of SI algorithms.
