Back in April, we reported that Humane, a secretive tech startup headed up by ex-Apple executives, had revealed a new AI-driven mini projector. For years, people have been saying wearable tech will replace the smartphone – but if the newly-announced name of this thing is anything to go by, this might not be the 'iPhone killer' some have claimed it to be.

A press release has revealed that the wearable will be called Humane Ai Pin. The company calls it 'A phone, a contextual computer, a platform... all in one', which sounds complicated – and might explain the curiously un-catchy name. Still, the device itself remains intriguing – even the wake of Apple's own brand new wearable, Vision Pro.
