Engadget Podcast: Why would Apple want to make an AI pin?

Apple is reportedly working on an AI pin of its very own to compete with OpenAI’s non-existent pin. No, it doesn’t really make much sense to us, either. In this episode, Devindra and Engadget Managing Editor Cherlynn Low discuss why Apple might be quick to jump on the AI pin trend, even before it jumps into smart rings. Also, we dive into Sony’s Bravia TV deal with TCL, and the aftermath of Verizon’s massive service outage.
