While on a phone call, your words are translated as you speak.
It even works when you call or text someone who doesn't have an iPhone.
Apple noted that all your conversations will be processed and translated on the device for security purposes.
That means they're not being sent to servers elsewhere to be translated.

Apple has also added more translation capabilities to Apple Music.

Amazon has 30% off 'impressive' dash cam that provides 'evidence' for insurance claims
Amazon has 30% off 'impressive' dash cam that provides 'evidence' for insurance claims Safety-conscious drivers can now save on a top-rated dash cam that has seen a significant reduction on Amazon - but the offer is only available for a limited time The dash cam is on a generous 45 per cent offer (Image: Getty Images) Regardless of your driving abilities, you cannot predict other motorists' behaviour on the road. This makes investing in a dash cam essential, ensuring you have evidence available should any unexpected incidents occur whilst driving. Safety-minded drivers will be pleased to learn that a highly-rated dash cam has received a substantial price cut on Amazon. Previously priced at a hefty £99.99, the device is currently available with a generous 30 per cent discount, bringing the cost down to just £69.99. This sophisticated D600 4K dash cam records the road comprehensively with front-facing 4K resolution and rear-facing 1080P resolution. Equipped with a 170° wide-angle lens and night vision capabilities, sharp footage can be recorded even in dim lighting conditions to guarantee complete coverage with nothing overlooked.

With a simple touch, motorists can upload segments of any trip to YouTube, Twitter, Facebook, or alternative social media networks, reports the Daily Record. According to its product description, the device serves as the 'perfect dashcam for cars, truck, SUV', simplifying the process of providing evidence when submitting insurance claims. Once the SD card reaches capacity, fresh recordings will automatically replace the oldest files. The dashcam, equipped with a G-sensor, automatically detects any sudden jolts or shocks and locks the video to prevent it from being overwritten. When parked, the car dash cam seamlessly switches to parking mode, providing continuous surveillance for any potential incidents while you're away.

Alternatively, budget-conscious shoppers can opt for the Binatone FHD200 Full HD Quick Release Dash Cam, currently on sale at Argos for £39.99. However, the discounted camera on Amazon has been well-received by drivers, garnering a host of positive reviews. One pleased customer shared: "This dash cam is impressive, with both front and rear coverage. The video quality is sharp and the wide-angle view captures everything you need. It comes with its own app, making it easy to download footage and adjust settings. I'm really satisfied with the purchase-great value for the price." On the other hand, a less content shopper expressed: "Unfortunately this product is not fit for purpose. It cuts out constantly meaning I do not have the security of constant video coverage, which is the reason I bought this dashcam. "I reached out to the supplier for help, who initially replied to my concerns, but unfortunately I did not receive the hard wire kit offered - which apparently may resolve the issue, therefore I would recommend that you buy from a more reliable source as I feel this product has simply been a waste of money." However, a more satisfied customer commented: "One of my favourite features is the parking mode, which can be activated when paired with a hardwiring kit. It gives me peace of mind knowing my vehicle is being monitored even when I'm not around. "The included app is user-friendly and makes it easy to view live or recorded footage on the go. There are also plenty of settings to customize the dashcam to any preferences. All of this can be accessed by taking the included SD card out too."

Aqara G410 smart video doorbell review – Matter, 2K video, local storage
The Aqara G410 has been significantly improved over its predecessor | Aqara This article contains affiliate links. We may earn a small commission on items purchased through this article, but that does not affect our editorial judgement. With Matter, Thread, Zigbee, and local 512GB storage, the Aqara G410 smart doorbell offers wide compatibility and freedom from subscriptions.

Did you know with a Digital Subscription to The Scotsman, you can get unlimited access to the website including our premium content, as well as benefiting from fewer ads, loyalty rewards and much more. Learn More Sorry, there seem to be some issues. Please try again later. Submitting... This is the new Aqara G410 video doorbell. And, I know what you're thinking, it's not pretty, is it? It's quite monolithic and bland - but perhaps that will appeal to those who like a minimalist, plain aesthetic. Any Apple fans in the room? It's also a bit pricey, at £110.49 - and that's only if you catch an offer on at the moment, knocking 15% off the price. So it's not especially attractive, and it's not cheap, but does it have any redeeming features? I've been using it for a few weeks and... Oh yes, it does. Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, it doesn't need a subscription. I'm basically refusing to review any security tech that needs a monthly outgoing to make it function to its fullest now, because it's 2026 soon, and we need to move past that. It's something of a form-over-function design, but some people will love the basic look | Aqara So that's a big box ticked for the Aqara G410. It's also ridiculously connectable. It supports more than 50 types of devices that link up to the Matter ecosystem, and it can connect to Thread, Zigbee, IFFT, Apple Home, Samsung Smart Things, and Google and Alexa. To achieve this, it comes with a little hub device that doubles as its chime. This is equally dull to look at, but very clever indeed. And the best bit is you can insert a Micro SD card into it to store up to 512Gb of recordings, all locally, and with end-to-end encryption. It all starts to look pretty impressive then, but we're still getting to the good bits. It's only a 2K system, but the image quality is pretty good - and the sensor has a f/1.8 aperture for low-light clarity, and a 175-degree field of view. There's a trick "millimetre-wave" sensor that detects motion and human activity, and this helps to cut out false alerts. The facial recognition works really well, and it can even harness the Matter connectivity to trigger different automations on your existing smart devices. 2K resolution makes for decent images - even at night | Aqara It supports hard-wiring, which enables a continuous recording system, or you can run it off batteries, which are said to last for up to five months. Being brutal now, the image quality is perfectly adequate. The field of view is terrific, and it performs well in low light. But, for this money, there are doorbells out there that will give you a slightly sharper image in both cases. You'd need to be quite picky for it to bother you, though. It's also pretty bulky. If you only have a tight space to mount it to, that could be an issue. Take a note of the measurements before you order one. That said, it feels very robust. And the doorbell button is nicely weighted and the build quality is absolutely superb.
