The Future of AI Wearables & UK Government’s Privacy Battle

In today’s Double Tap, Steven Scott and Shaun Preece dive into the latest in accessible tech and privacy concerns. We discuss the UK government’s controversial request for Apple to provide backdoor access to encrypted iCloud data, with tech journalist Will Guyatt breaking down the implications.
Next, we welcome Kapsys CEO Aram Hekimian to introduce KapX, a new AI-powered wearable for blind and visually impaired users. This innovative headset promises real-time 3D obstacle detection, spatial audio navigation, and a self-contained AI system—all without a required internet connection.
Plus, we cover the Super Bowl, Invictus Games, and the latest rumors about Apple’s iPhone SE 4 and upcoming MacBook Air and iPad Air refreshes.
