Photoshop Elements used to copy open eyes from a second photo, which could look off if lighting or pose differed. Lightroom on phones now generates them instead, matching the lighting and pose and borrowing from other pictures of the same person in your library so the colour, size and shape fit. A one-tap action appears when the app spots closed eyes.

Smart TVs use automatic content recognition, which fingerprints screenshots or audio to identify what you watch, and many ship with ad-filled launchers. Developers are now sharing tools such as dumbtv and cleanyourtv that use AI coding agents to replace those launchers, block tracking and speed up menus over Wi-Fi, without rooting the TV. The projects are still works in progress.

Apple's first foldable, the iPhone Duo, splits its battery into two cells, with one in each side of the device, to make room around the hinge. The design gives it more capacity than the iPhone 18 Pro but less than the Pro Max, and Apple says a compatible 60W charger can reach 50 percent in about 20 minutes. The larger folding screen will still draw more power than the outside display.
