Apple created eerily lifelike AI ‘video clone’ of me in 20 seconds – can you tell which part of my body is totally fake?
APPLE created an eerily-realistic virtual clone of me using AI in a matter of seconds.
I took a trip to the Apple Park HQ in California where I was able to make a brand new “Persona” – a lifelike simulation of my head and hands that I can use online.
It’s meant to be used for making FaceTime calls or hanging out online while donning the Apple Vision Pro headset.
After all, people I’m calling can’t see my actual face because it’s covered in a great big pair of goggles – so a Persona can mimic my movements instead.
Personas have been around since the headset launched back in February 2024, but Apple has just given them a major upgrade to add way more detail in the new visionOS 26 update.
And when I met with Apple to try it out, it captured every part of my noggin in excruciating detail. But one part is totally faked – can you tell from the clip above?
MAKING A PERSONA
Right now, the only way to create a Persona is with an Apple Vision Pro.
That’s an expensive “spatial computer” – effectively a mixed-reality headset for playing with apps that float in front of your eyes – that costs about £3,500/$3,500.
You start the process, remove the headset, spin it around, and let it scan your face.
It’ll make you blink, smile, and turn your head from side to side.
And in a matter of seconds, you’ve got a virtual 3D rendering of your face created using AI tech that can mimic your movements while wearing the headset.
It means if someone calls me up on video, they don’t have to stare at a lifeless avatar – and can enjoy my lifelike Persona instead.
The new Persona is infinitely more realistic than the old one. When the new look was announced on stage during Apple’s WWDC 2025 event earlier this week, it got a big reaction from the crowd.
“Taking advantage of industry-leading volumetric rendering and machine learning technology, the all-new Personas now have striking expressivity and sharpness,” Apple said.
“Offering a full side profile view, and remarkable accurate hair, lashes, and complexion.”
It’s genuinely very impressive, and I think it captures my face pretty well.
My colleague Jamie Harris reckons it’s made me look a bit old – but I was pretty jet-lagged, so maybe my Persona was reflecting my tiredness.
In any case, it’s pretty much bang on.
But if you look closely, there are two parts of me that are totally faked.
The first is my glasses, which isn’t a part of my body – so it doesn’t really count.
Instead, you get to pick from a selection of 1,000 different glasses variants.
The second part of me that was faked was…my tongue.
Yes, the tongue you see my sticking out in the video was not mine.
I was curious to try it, as the headset didn’t scan my tongue, so I wondered what would happen if I unleashed it in the name of journalism.
And it turns out that the Apple Vision Pro fills in a vaguely appropriate human tongue.
It knows you’re sticking out your tongue (and the other facial movements you’re making) thanks to internal cameras on the headset.
So you can grin with teeth or without, raise both eyebrows or just one, and shake your head from side to side. I’m totally in control of my Persona – the only “AI” involved is in creating the fake face, but the movements are my own.

FACE THE FUTURE
It’s extremely impressive, but there’s an obvious downside: very few people can make Personas right now.
They’re totally tied to the Apple Vision Pro, which is financially out of reach for most people.
But this is a sign of things to come.
Eventually, these types of headsets won’t cost so much – and won’t be as massive on your face.
Just look at Meta‘s Orion prototype glasses, which I tested out a few weeks ago in London.
They don’t have the same visual quality as an Apple Vision Pro, and they’ll be wildly expensive, but they’re basically only a little larger than a regular pair of glasses.
You can imagine in the not-too-distant-future, these types of lifelike avatars will only become more important.
Think of a future where smartphones are increasingly less common as people switch to “spatial computers” on their faces.
They’ll be able to scan what you see, take pictures wherever you go, and let you make video calls beamed directly to your eyes.
When we get to that point, tech like Personas will become an essential part of video calling.
And if they look this good now, imagine how realistic they’ll be in 10 years.

My £3 Ikea buy will make your bedroom look like a luxury hotel – it’s very easy to put up & stays in perfect condition
A BUDGET-FRIENDLY buy can help to give your bedroom a luxury hotel finish.
This affordable Ikea item is easy to install and will instantly transform your home.
In a viral video, TikTok user Byluinterior used the item to transform her bedroom.
She described the hack as “the easiest, cheapest way to get this luxurious hotel curtain look from Ikea“.
The interior design enthusiast revealed that she used Vidga Gliders and Hooks to level up her window area.
She explained that she used both the glider and hook to give her curtains extra length.
You can pick up a 24-pack of Vidga gliders and hooks for just £3 from Ikea.
These can be installed into your curtain railing, using the hook to attach the netting into the individual gliders.
The hooks and gliders make it easier to move and arrange your curtains.
And according to the experts at Ikea, many pleats “tend to give a more refined and formal expression” while fewer pleats “create a more casual look”.
So you can choose which finish you prefer by adding as many curtain hooks as pleats you want.
Interior design experts have previously discussed the timeless look of full length curtains.
“Sleek and stylish floor-to-ceiling curtains are perfectly befitting in a contemporary aesthetic,” the pros at Spiffy Stools said.
This style can also help to “elongate your room optically”, helping to draw the eye upwards.
For anyone with lower ceilings, this can be a great hack for transforming your space.
According to the TikToker, the end result looks like something straight out of a hotel room.
Her video, which has received more than 1.5 million times, received high praise from her fellow social media users.

England U21 vs Slovenia U21 preview
It was a successful start for England’s Young Lions as they began the defence of their European Championship title against the Czech Republic.
Lee Carsley’s attacking side claimed a hard-fought and deserved 3-1 victory courtesy of goals from Harvey Elliott, Jonathan Rowe and Charlie Cresswell.
England’s U21s enjoyed 68.4% of possession, fired off 14 efforts at goal and restricted the Czechs to just 12 touches inside their penalty area.
They’ll now look to continue their positive start against Slovenia – who are still looking for their first finals win (D1 L3).
Slovenia started their campaign with a 3-0 loss against Germany, meaning they’ve extended their winless run to five games in all competitions (L2, D3).
However, Slovenia do have recent history on their side.
They’re unbeaten in their last three meetings with England at this level, including a 2-1 win in qualifying for this tournament and a pair of 2-2 draws before that.
Nevertheless, the bookies clearly fancy Carsley’s side to claim a valuable three points having priced them at around 1/4, with Slovenia 11/1 underdogs.
And it’s worth remembering that a victory on Sunday would assure England place in the quarter-finals regardless of their result against Germany in their Group B finale next week.

England U21 vs Slovenia U21 preview betting tips and predictions
Early doors
With the early cobwebs shaken off and squad uncertainty now settled, Lee Carsley’s side should be sharper from the off when they face Slovenia on Sunday.
That could point to a lively first half. Slovenia have shown a clear vulnerability early on, conceding before the break in each of their last four matches. England, by contrast, have struck twice in the first half in two of their last three outings – and look well placed to fly out of the traps.

Goalscorer
We’re backing Ipswich Town’s Omari Hutchinson to find the net against a vulnerable Slovenia side on Sunday.
The 21-year-old was lively in England’s opener against the Czech Republic, registering four shots in just 78 minutes – twice as many as any of his teammates. Only one hit the target, but the intent was clear, and he should benefit from the match sharpness.
Slovenia, meanwhile, have conceded five goals in their last two games.
