AI ‘nudification’ apps should be banned, Apple’s AI-powered smart glasses rumoured

Artificial intelligence “nudification” apps that create deepfake sexual images of children should be immediately banned, amid growing fears among teenage girls that they could fall victim, the children’s commissioner for England is warning.

So far 2025 has been a huge year for Apple products, with the company already rolling out the upgraded M3 iPad Air and the iPhone 16e.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild‘s Nintendo Switch 2 Edition has been beaten by a player with early access to the company’s unreleased console. Japanese speedrunner Ikaboze recently attended one of Nintendo’s Switch 2 hands-on events, held in Tokyo, and used his familiarity with the game to beat Ganon with no fancy equipment (thanks, Nintendo Insider). Ikaboze had just 20 minutes to complete the feat, before his alloted time with the demo expired.
