MacVoices #25266: Live! – Apple’s AI Vision Acquisition, Bug Bounties, and Teens and iPhones
Apple’s reported acquisition of Prompt.ai’s team/IP drew thoughts from the MacVoices panel about what it could mean for computer vision across Face ID, HomeKit, a rumored HomePod with a screen, and even a home robot. Chuck Joiner, Dave Ginsburg, Brian Flanigan-Arthurs, Jim Rea, Marty Jencius, and Norbert Frassa debate Apple’s new $2M bug bounty—promise vs. payout history—then note Piper Sandler data showing 87% of teens own iPhones. Finally, they discuss Apple’s lawsuit against John Prosser over iOS 26 leaks and the risks of ignoring the case.
