As we wrap up another eventful week, it&#8217;s clear that&nbsp;Apple Inc. AAPL&nbsp;has been making waves with a series of intriguing developments. From age detection technology to smart doorbells, the tech giant has kept us on our toes. Let&#8217;s delve into the top stories that made headlines.



Apple&#8217;s Age Detection Tech Could Reshape Social Media



Apple is developing a new technology, the &#8220;Declared Age Range&#8221; API, which could help social media apps identify users under 16 years of age. This technology, as detailed in a recent Apple White Paper, will allow developers to request age range information of users with parental consent, thereby helping apps determine content accessibility or app usage based on the user&#8217;s age.
