Samsung has partnered with an an online auction site to help NFT enthusiasts store their digital artwork

The ‘Nifty Gateway’ is integrated with Samsung’s NFT platform, which lets viewers browse through a collection of non-fungible tokens through their screens.

The auction site will also have an app on Samsung’s ‘The Frame’ and Micro LED TVs.

Samsung says the devices will “use the settings for a faithful rendering of the artist’s intentions”.

When viewers buy an NFT, the TV is expected to enter Ambient Mode, and display artwork from a curated gallery.

“Nifty Gateway’s mission is to bring NFTs to a billion people by empowering creators and simplifying the way customers buy, sell, create, and hold NFTs,” says the company’s co-founder Duncan Cock.

“We are committed to making NFTs accessible and NFT purchasing more seamless than ever before.”

Apple is developing an AI-powered wearable device, aiming for a launch of 20 million units in the growing AI market.

Apple is reportedly developing an AI-powered wearable device equipped with cameras and speakers, signalling its next major move into artificial intelligence-driven hardware.

While still in early development, the company is said to be planning a launch scale of up to 20 million units.

This move places Apple squarely into the fast-growing AI wearable market, where tech giants are racing to define what hands-free, AI-first devices will look like. Rather than rushing to market, Apple appears to be taking a measured approach by embedding AI capabilities into its existing ecosystem.

Reports suggest Apple is also experimenting with camera-equipped AirPods and smart glasses, with a potential launch timeline around 2027. If successful, these devices could reshape how users interact with AI in everyday life.
