Apple has integrated a brain-computer interface (BCI) protocol into its Switch Control feature, allowing users to interact with iOS and iPadOS devices through thoughts. The Synchron firm will launch an implantable BCI, Stentrode, which will allow control of iPhones and iPads through brain activity. While the step is considered revolutionary, analysts warn that widespread commercialization could take years. BCI technology promises not only accessibility but also new ways of human-computer interaction, with potential applications in communication and mental health.
