Apple is reportedly considering the future of gaming on its Vision Pro headset and is working with Sony to make it happen. Bloomberg reports that the two companies agreed to launch support for the PlayStation VR2's hand controllers on the Vision Pro. Apple has also supposedly approached third-party developers to integrate support into their games.

Apple and Sony were supposed to launch the PlayStation VR2 controller support weeks ago, but the rollout was postponed. An issue might be that Sony doesn't sell its VR hand controllers as standalone accessories, so the company needs to decouple the accessory from its headset. It must also sell these controllers at Apple's online and retail stores.

We might see an Apple smart home security camera market in 2026. At least, that is what analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is reporting. He wrote in a post saying the company targets "annual shipments in the tens of millions." Chinese tech company GoerTek will supposedly be the exclusive assembly supplier.

Kuo said the smart home camera would integrate with other Apple hardware products wirelessly and be part of a larger smart home ecosystem centred around Apple's HomeKit platform. He suggested you can see what's being recorded via the Apple TV or through an iPhone, Apple Watch, and other devices that can interact with the camera. Apple has not made a public statement about the arrival of this camera, but Kuo has a track record of breaking these product launches, so it might be worth keeping an eye on.
