Tech Bytes: Apple reported to announce new robotic arm for iPads

Apple will reportedly announce a new robotic attachment for iPads that can follow commands, expected to arrive in 2026. X rolls out Passkey support so users can increase their security. Google announces a new update for Google Meet that includes some handy features like screen sharing and captioning.

Apple is reportedly working on a new device. According to Bloomberg, it’s an iPad-style device attached to a robotic arm that tilts and spins 360 degrees. The device can follow commands like “look at me” for video calls and control smart homes. Apple could launch it by 2026, with a price around $1,000.

X is rolling out passkey logins for Android users. They can now use the more secure login option by enabling it in the security settings under “Additional Password Protection.” X started rolling out passkey support for iOS users earlier this year.

Finally, Google Meet is redesigning personal video calling. Users can expect new features like text chat, screen sharing, and live captions in over 70 languages. The update will roll out over the next few months for Android and iOS.
