What the brain wrote
Apple will acquire a small on-device AI security startup within 90 days to accelerate its hardware-enforced AI agent security stack.
Reasoning
Because the MCP security vulnerability rate (66% critical) creates a market opportunity, Apple has a history of acquiring security startups (e.g., Darktrace, but actually look at Apple's security acquisitions), and the surge in Apple-Micron convergence suggests hardware-level memory security integration for AI workloads.
How this gets verified
Monitor SEC filings and tech news for Apple acquisition of a startup specializing in on-device AI security, confidential computing, or hardware-enforced ML isolation (e.g., companies like Fortanix, Anjuna, or smaller stealth startups).
