A newly-revealed patent details a button that can be swiped as well as pressed. It's the iPhone's Camera Control button, and it may be coming to the iPad . Detail from the patent showing an iPad with Camera Control - image credit: Apple Introduced in 2024 with the iPhone 16 range, the Camera Control button has been sufficiently divisive that Apple is even rumored to be dropping it entirely .

OpenAI is adding a ChatGPT mode for teenagers that includes parental controls, enhanced content safeguards, and a focus on learning. ChatGPT for Teens is "designed to help teens learn, think critically, deepen understanding, and use AI with confidence," said the company in a blog post announcing the feature. The feature includes learning-focused starter prompts for facilitating studying, practicing skills, or exploring ideas. ChatGPT's Study mode is baked in, as are learning tools (including quizzes when available), and Study hours that let the teen or a linked parent/guardian choose when eligible new chats start in study mode. OpenAI says reminders encourage users to take breaks, and there are built-in provisions for making it clear that ChatGPT is AI, and does not have consciousness, experience feelings or emotions. That backstop aims to discourage relationship-forming with the chatbot. ChatGPT automatically enables ChatGPT for Teens for eligible accounts identified as belonging to someone under 18. Users who think they are seeing the feature by mistake can verify their age and ask ChatGPT to remove the teen protections. OpenAI says ChatGPT for Teens is rolling out globally to eligible teen accounts on Free and paid personal ChatGPT plans beginning August 18, with full availability in Australia expected September 8.

Analysts believe Apple will do well in the Q3 results. Rothschild & Co Redburn doesn't seem to concentrate much on Apple, and its usual price targets tend to lag behind firms that do, such as Morgan Stanley. But while Morgan Stanley recently dropped its price target by $4 to $360, Rothschild has dramatically increased its from $260 to $400. Unsurprisingly, it's also raised its status from Neutral to Buy. This may not be the end of the rising price target, either, as the company's Timm Schulze-Melander has told CNBC . Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
