Gadgets & Gizmos: $190,000 for a useless iPhone, AI to annoy cold callers & music for cows

Gadgets & Gizmos: $190,000 for a useless iPhone, AI to annoy cold callers & music for cows
Steve Caplin marvels at the $190,000 paid for an original, unopened iphone, at AI helping conquer the world record for juggling and defeating cold callers, at a laser device to rid Western Australia of feral cats, at a music system to keep cows grazing in the right place, at a system to reduce methane in cow dung – that appears utterly impractical, at a new way of charging electric cars that might mean they can enter the 24hr Le Mans race, at a crowd-funded portable hammock, at a device to counter car theft and at the possibility that humans could soon grow new teeth, much like sharks.

Gadgets & Gizmos: Apple's AR headset, pedestrians and driverless cars & AI reads the small print for you
Steve Caplin guides Simon Rose through the latest tech developments, majoring on Apple's new AR headset bringing "spatial computing" to the world. But at $3,500, who is going to buy it? He explains the latest features of iOS 17, how driverless cars might let pedestrians know that they have been seen, why AI might read T&Cs on your behalf to check there's nothing fishy in the small print and wonders where the truth lies with a report that an AI drone tried to kill its operator because it didn't like the instructions it was given.
