Apple has acquired Israeli AI startup Q.ai for nearly US$2 billion, its largest deal since the US$3 billion Beats purchase in 2014. The startup specializes in silent speech tech, interpreting facial micro-movements without audible vocalization. This systemic shift toward biometric interaction enables private, non-acoustic commands for smart glasses and wearables. By removing the need for sound, Apple is defining the next era of post-vocal hardware interfaces. 🚀
