Apple May Introduce Eye-Tracking Scrolling in Vision Pro with visionOS 3
If implemented, this innovation would allow users to scroll through Apple's built-in apps simply by shifting their gaze, and there are plans to open the capability to third-party developers as well. While Apple hasn't shared specific details, it's likely the feature would activate by staring at a particular area—like the edge of a page—or using a combination of focus points to trigger movement.
While a similar experience exists through Apple's current Dwell Control accessibility feature, which lets users interact by focusing on-screen elements, it's a bit clunky for smooth scrolling. Gurman hints the upcoming version may be more refined and user-friendly.
For now, Vision Pro users scroll using pinch gestures, Bluetooth mice, or even wireless game controllers. But the possibility of a gaze-controlled interface could significantly boost hands-free functionality, especially in immersive environments.

Apple watch gets redesigned blood oxygen detection tech with pairing system
New Delhi, Aug 16 (UNI) Apple revealed a redesigned feature in its Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 related to blood oxygen detection, as per the company's statement. The official statement on Apple's website said, 'Apple will introduce a redesigned Blood Oxygen feature for some Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Apple Watch Ultra 2 users through an iPhone and Apple Watch software update.' ' Users with these models in the US who currently do not have the Blood Oxygen feature will have access to the redesigned Blood Oxygen feature by updating their paired iPhone to iOS 18.6.1 and their Apple Watch to watchOS 11.6.1,' the official statement added. Moreover, Apple Watch's oxygen monitoring feature was controversial in the past, as a medical technology company named 'Masimo' sued Apple for infringing its patents related to blood-oxygen sensing technology. After that, the US International Trade Commission (ITC) banned the import of certain Apple watches with this blood oxygen monitoring feature in 2023. Now, the tech giant is again coming with the new feature, as the US customs ruling gives a green signal to a redesigned technology that processes raw sensor data on the iPhone instead of the Watch. The official statement on Apple's website also noted the crux of the redesigned feature: ' Following this update, sensor data from the Blood Oxygen app on Apple Watch will be measured and calculated on the paired iPhone, and the results can be viewed in the Respiratory section of the Health App.' ' There will be no impact to Apple Watch units previously purchased that include the original Blood Oxygen feature, nor to Apple Watch units purchased outside of the US,' the statement added.

ChatGPT beats all competitors in revenue generation from users: Report
New Delhi: Individual users worldwide have spent $2 billion on the ChatGPT mobile app through iOS and Android platforms since the AI application's launch in May 2023, according to a report on Saturday. In 2025, revenue of the application grew 673 per cent year-over-year. The app has clocked 318 million downloads in 2025, 2.8 times higher than during the same period last year, TechCrunch reported. India has the highest lifetime installs at 13.7 per cent, while the US followed with 10.3 per cent. American users, however, accounted for over 38 per cent of ChatGPT's global revenue. Average spending per download in the US is $10, while in Germany it stood at 5.3 per cent. ChatGPT Users make payments for premium features, such as a ChatGPT Plus subscription at $20 per month, which provides access to advanced models like GPT-5, higher usage limits, and enhanced functionality. ChatGPT outperformed all competitors in lifetime revenue per install, averaging $2.91. Anthropic's Claude followed at $2.55, while Elon Musk's Grok stood at $0.75. Microsoft's Copilot app lagged at just $0.27. Analysts suggested Grok's underperformance is due to its late mobile launch. The standalone iOS app of xAI was only available to users from January 2025, with Android support added in March. The delay has hindered its momentum in the app economy. Meanwhile, Musk, the founder of xAI, claimed that OpenAI's ChatGPT ranks first on the Apple Store because of Apple's favouritism, while his apps, X and xAI's Grok, are sidelined. Apple denied allegations that its App Store algorithms or curated lists favour ChatGPT over Musk's offerings. 'The App Store is designed to be fair and free of bias,' the company insisted, adding that recommendations are based on charts, algorithms, and expert editorial curation using objective criteria, according to multiple media reports. GPT‑5 is available to all users, with Plus subscribers getting more usage and Pro subscribers getting access to GPT‑5 Pro, a version with extended reasoning for even more comprehensive and accurate answers.

Analyst Dan Ives's blunt take on Apple AI; says ‘No one on the Street believes…'
Apple's artificial intelligence (AI) strategy is a 'disaster' and the company is falling far behind rivals such as Microsoft, Google, Meta and OpenAI, Wedbush analyst Dan Ives said in an interview with Bloomberg Tech. Ives said that Apple's internal AI efforts have failed to impress, pointing to Siir as an example. 'Nothing's going to happen internally,' he said, adding, 'It's not happening internally and there's no one on the Street that believes any innovation is coming out of Apple when it comes to AI organically.' Speaking on the show, Dan Ives reiterated that Apple will need acquisitions and partnerships to stay competitive. 'They're going to have to do an acquisition. I mean, look, it's the reality of the situation,' he said. He has previously suggested a three-pronged plan for Apple: acquire AI search firm Perplexity, recruit top AI talent, and consider integrating Google's Gemini AI. Ives also warned that Apple's slow AI growth could affect CEO Tim Cook's legacy. He said competitors are moving aggressively in AI and Apple must act quickly to secure its place in the next technological revolution. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Redefine Your Future with a Top Online MBA SRM Online Enquire Now Undo Apple has more than 2.4 billion iOS devices worldwide, which gives it a strong consumer base. However, Ives said without a bold AI plan, Apple's leadership could be challenged by rivals. When Dan Ives said it is time for Apple to make an acquisition This is not the first time Dan Ives has criticized Apple. After the company's Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) in June, he wrote in a research note that it 'felt like an episode out of 'Back to the Future'', especially when it came to Apple's treatment of AI. 'Barely no mention of AI,' Ives then remarked, calling it 'the elephant in the room.' 'It's becoming crystal clear that any innovation around AI at Apple is not coming from inside the walls of Apple Park,' he then said. Ives wrote that 'the time has come' for Apple to make a big acquisition, calling Perplexity a 'no brainer' target. He said such a deal could quickly boost Apple's weak AI platform and turn Siri into the 'next AI gateway for consumers.' Investor to Apple: Change your CEO Last month, analysts at LightShed Partners said that Apple may need a leadership change to better focus on product innovation, especially in the area of artificial intelligence (AI). In a note published on July 09), the analysts said that while CEO Tim Cook brought operational expertise to the top job, the company now 'needs a product-focused CEO.' 'To be clear, Tim Cook was the right CEO at the time of his appointment and unquestionably has done a great job,' the analysts wrote. 'Apple has sold over $2.0 trillion of iPhones with Cook as CEO. In fact, iPhone sales could show signs of life this quarter, as tariff-related pull-forwards help stabilize replacement cycles that may finally be bottoming out.' AI Masterclass for Students.
