Out of interest, how does this account for the orientation of the clock? Is it assuming 12 is always at the top, or is there some way it would work if the photo was somewhat rotated?

Wait, you have to pay to not have ads on a Kindle? When did that start being a thing? I've been using a kindle for about 14 years, my current one is a few years old. I've been thinking about upgrading, but it works perfectly fine,

Surely every kids (in the UK) knows the secret to a winning conker is to keep it in a dark place for several weeks so it naturally hardens up. I'm not sure if this is considered cheating though.

There was also an episode of the popular kids TV show Blue Peter, where they showed you how to make Tracy Island. I believe that helped boost it's popularity.

Are there any technical details available on how these images were captured. I'm assuming some form of Vision AI (YOLO?) was leveraged. What source data was used, and how was it processed? I'm interested in doing something similar

This is missing the point. It's not about the functionality. It's about the marketing. Apple aren't going to all this effort so you have an amazingly functional product that will solve all your real world needs. They're
