iPhone 17 Pro’s aluminum body has a “Scratchgate” issue

Apple’s new iPhone 17 Pro is drawing attention for more than its A19 Pro chip and new design. Just weeks after launch, users have reported that the phone’s aluminum frame is prone to scratches, especially around the camera bump—leading some to dub the issue “Scratchgate.”

A recent teardown from iFixit offers insight into why the finish may not hold up. Using the Evident DSX2000 microscope and hardness picks, iFixit found that while the flat aluminum surfaces resisted everyday wear, the sharp edges of the camera island were far more vulnerable. In tests simulating contact with coins or keys, the anodized coating on those corners chipped away, exposing the bare metal underneath.

Materials expert David Niebuhr told iFixit that the problem lies in the geometry. Anodization tends to bond less consistently around sharp transitions. A smoother curve could have reduced the risk of flaking, but Apple’s design choice seems to have left the corners exposed. The shift from titanium (used in the iPhone 16 Pro models) to aluminum helped reduce weight and improve heat dissipation, but it appears to have introduced cosmetic trade-offs.

Beyond the finish, the teardown highlighted some changes for repairs. The battery now sits in a removable tray secured with 14 Torx Plus screws, eliminating adhesive and making replacements easier. However, Apple also moved to a single-sided entry design, meaning most internal components are only accessible from the display side.

One positive: the iPhone 17 Pro includes a vapor chamber for cooling, replacing the graphite sheets used in previous models. Thermal scans suggest it spreads heat more evenly across the device.

Apple has not commented on the scratch reports. For now, users may want to use a case that protects the camera bump if they want to keep the phone looking new.

OnePlus 15 Might Disappoint with Downgraded Cameras & Weaker Haptics

A fresh leak has revealed some concerning details regarding the OnePlus 15. While it is an upcoming flagship model from the brand, the disappointing downgrades are stacking up. First, it was the display on the front, and now, even the camera system on the rear is getting worse.

OnePlus 15 Steps Back on Camera & Haptics

According to fresh tweets from OnePlus Club, the brand’s next flagship might not impress in camera performance like its predecessor. Apart from the ultra wide angle lens, the periscope telephoto shooter and main camera are getting a notable downgrade. The primary shooter will reportedly be a 50MP 1/1.56-inch shooter with an f/1.8 aperture, while the zoom lens is a 50MP Samsung JN5 1/2.75-inch sensor with a 3x optical zoom.

OnePlus-15-real-life-image-2
OnePlus 15

To recall, the OnePlus 13’s main camera was a larger 1/1.43-inch sensor with an f/1.6 aperture. A larger sensor with a wider aperture allows for better low light performance and sharper images. Meanwhile, the telephoto shoot retains the same optical zoom but has its sensor size drop from the OnePlus 13’s 50MP Sony IMX882 sensor, which had a 1/1.95-inch sensor size. OnePlus has already confirmed that it is moving away from Hasselblad, in favor of its in house DetailMax engine.

Even the haptics are allegedly getting weaker. The OnePlus 15 seems to be switching from the AAC CSA+0916Turbo (602 mm²) used in OnePlus 13 to a smaller AAC ESA1016 (560 mm²) component. This could mean less punch, less crisp feedback, which was something praised on the OnePlus 13. Based on what we know so far, these changes are in line with the company’s plans to make the OnePlus 15 a flagship gaming device similar to the iQOO 13 that is quite popular in the Chinese market.

Samsung will unlikely release the update to these devices in the order in which they are mentioned in the official timeline. That’s because of some weird positioning of several Galaxy devices on the list. For example, the Galaxy Z Fold 5 and Z Flip 5 are placed below the Galaxy Z Fold 4 and Z Flip 4. Another instance where the non-5G variants of Galaxy Tab S10 and Tab S9 models are placed much below their 5G siblings. They typically receive the update around the same time.

While Samsung is unlikely to follow the device order for One UI 8 release, the update should arrive as promised. If things go as planned, this will be one of the fastest rollouts in Samsung’s history for a major upgrade.

The Galaxy S24, Galaxy Z Fold 6, and Galaxy Z Flip 6 users may be disappointed from this rollout timeline, as they won’t receive the update this month. These devices have already received the stable One UI 8 update in South Korea.

iQOO Neo 11 specifications surface as Neo 11 Pro reportedly cancelled

iQOO has held a press event in China confirming the arrival of the iQOO 15, and at the same time, also revealed that the iQOO Neo 11 will share the stage. Meanwhile, well-known tipster Digital Chat Station has posted several details on Weibo, offering a deeper look into how the Neo series will evolve.

iQOO Neo 11 Pro scrapped

iQOO Neo 11 Pro and OnePlus Ace 6 Pro reportedly scrapped, reveals DCS

According to Digital Chat Station, several smartphone makers are reshaping their year-end lineups. For iQOO, the Neo 11 Pro has reportedly been cancelled, leaving just the Neo 11, which is expected to launch alongside the iQOO 15 in October in China. The two phones will differ in chipsets, with the iQOO 15 will feature the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, while the Neo 11 will use last year’s Snapdragon 8 Elite.

These devices will compete directly with upcoming sub-flagship offerings from Redmi, OnePlus, and Realme. The Redmi K90 series is tipped to include two models, one powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the other by the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

OnePlus is expected to introduce the OnePlus 15 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the OnePlus Ace 6 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite, while the previously planned OnePlus Ace 6 Pro has reportedly been dropped. Realme, on the other hand, is said to be preparing the GT 8 Pro with the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and the GT 8 with the Snapdragon 8 Elite.

iQOO Neo 11 specifications (rumored)

iQOO Neo 11 key specifications tipped

According to DCS, the Neo 11 is expected to feature a large 2K flat display, the Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a sturdy metal frame, and an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor. A huge 7,500mAh battery is part of the package, and durability is further enhanced with IP68-rated dust and water resistance. Its 3C certification has already revealed that it will support 100W charging.

The tipster added that the Neo 11 will ship with the same Monster performance engine as the iQOO 15, positioning the two as a flagship pair in different sizes. This approach makes the Neo 11 arguably one of the strongest standard editions in the 2,500 Yuan (~$345) segment. The combination of a high-resolution display, a large-capacity battery, and a premium build positions the Neo 11 as a serious alternative for those seeking performance without going for the topmost variant.

2. One UI 8 will be the last big upgrade for these Samsung devices

It’s also important to note that the update doesn’t go live in all countries at the same time. It usually happens in batches, and thus can take a few days to reach all the regions. For example, Samsung took two days to expand the One UI 8 update for the Galaxy S25 series outside of Korea.

So, if your Samsung device is on the list above, but you don’t see an update, it means the update could reach you anytime soon. You should manually check for updates by going to Settings > Software update > Download and install.

One UI 8 is a major upgrade and thus requires downloading an update package of a few gigabytes. It’s best to connect to a reliable Wi-Fi network to download a large update package, and before you hit the Install now button, ensure that the device has at least 30% battery, so that it doesn’t power off even if the installation takes a little longer.

Realme GT 8 Pro officially confirmed to feature 2K 144Hz AMOLED screen, 7,000mAh battery, 200MP periscope camera

Recently, Realme confirmed that the Realme GT 8 and GT 8 Pro will be unveiled in October in China. A leaked poster that surfaced yesterday gave the first look at the phone’s rear design. Today, Realme executive Derek highlighted the major upgrades coming to the Realme GT 8 Pro’s display.

Realme GT 8 Pro display and battery details

According to Derrek, the Realme GT 8 Pro’s display resolution has been increased from 1.5K to 2K, the refresh rate increased from 120Hz to 144Hz, and peak brightness pushed from 6,000nits to 7,000nits. The design also shifts from a curved screen with small corners to a flat display with larger R-corners.

Eye comfort features have been strengthened with global full-brightness DC dimming enabled by default, a 1-nit eye-care mode, and circular polarisation protection. Colour accuracy has also been upgraded from software-level calibration to hardware-level chip calibration.

Derek explained that although a 2K screen demands more power, advances in battery energy density have allowed Realme to equip the GT 8 Pro with a 7,000mAh-class battery. He added that beyond resolution, Realme has enhanced multiple aspects like refresh rate, design, brightness, and eye protection, making the GT 8 Pro’s screen one of the best available in its price segment.

The other poster released by the brand confirms that the Realme GT 8 Pro will feature a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto. The company’s Marketing Communication Director, Aric Song, revealed that the camera will support 3x optical zoom and 12x lossless zoom.

Honor Magic 8 Pro’s 200MP periscope telephoto camera samples officially released

Honor is all set to launch the Honor Magic 8 series of flagship phones in October in China. Like the Vivo X300 Pro and Oppo Find X9 Pro, the Honor Magic 8 Pro will also sport a 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera. At the same time, reliable tipster Digital Chat Station has shared some details about the said periscope camera. 

Honor Magic 8 Pro camera samples

Apart from sharing the camera samples captured using Honor Magic 8 Pro’s 200-megapixel periscope telephoto camera, digital blogger Ouyang Tongxuan shared some insights from a 4-hour closed-door session on Honor’s imaging technology, attended by Honor CEO Li Jian and key teams.

He highlights Honor’s openness to feedback, which has driven rapid progress in mobile photography over the past two years. In blind tests across 50+ scenarios, Honor’s phones won over 90% of the time, especially in night telephoto shots, where they balanced highlights, shadows and colours better than rivals.

Early use of the upcoming Honor Magic8 Pro shows it delivers stunning results in all conditions, with its 200-megapixel ultra-night telephoto, AI night mode, and stage mode with strong stabilisation, making handheld 10x shots in low light sharp and detailed.

According to DCS, the Honor Magic 8 Pro is equipped with a 200-megapixel 1/1.4-inch periscope telephoto camera featuring an 85mm focal length, f/2.6 aperture, and 3.7x optical zoom, with support for 10x hybrid zoom and CIPA-grade optical stabilisation. There’s no clarity whether it features the 200-megapixel Samsung HP5 or HP9 camera sensor.

The main camera, reported elsewhere to be a 50-megapixel sensor, has a 23mm lens with an f/1.6 aperture. This imaging setup is being promoted under the nickname “Night God”, emphasising its powerful night photography performance. As per other reports, the camera setup will also include a 50-megapixel Samsung JN5 ultra-wide snapper.

Which Apple Watch should you buy in 2025?

Apple recently dropped its 2025 smartwatch trio: the all-powerful Apple Watch Ultra 3, the refined Apple Watch Series 11, and the upgraded budget-friendly Apple Watch SE 3. All three run the new watchOS 26, support Apple Intelligence, and bring enhanced health, fitness, and connectivity features. But with prices ranging from $249 to $799, which Apple Watch is right for you?

Let’s break it down.

Apple Watch Ultra 3

Apple-Watch-Ultra-3

If you want the absolute best Apple has to offer, no compromises, this is it.

The Ultra 3 isn’t just a smartwatch. It’s a rugged satellite-connected survival tool, high-performance fitness companion, and luxury watch in one titanium-clad package. It features Apple’s largest and brightest display yet, thanks to a new LTPO3 and wide-angle OLED panel with 24 percent thinner bezels. The always-on display now updates once per second, meaning you actually see a real ticking second hand, stopwatch, or timer at a glance.

It’s the first Apple Watch to integrate two-way satellite communications, so you can send texts and your location while off the grid. Perfect for hikers, skiers, and endurance athletes. Add 5G cellular, 42 to 72 hour battery life, 20 hour GPS workouts, and advanced health tools like hypertension notifications and sleep score, and you’re looking at a beast built for anything.

Buy it if:
You need extreme battery life, outdoor navigation, adventure-ready durability, satellite messaging, or just want the most overengineered smartwatch ever made.

Starting price: $799

Apple Watch Series 11

Apple Watch Series 11

Sitting squarely in the middle, the Series 11 hits the sweet spot for most people.

It brings the same hypertension notifications and sleep score as the Ultra 3 but packages them into a sleeker, lighter body with improved Ion X cover glass that’s twice as scratch-resistant. You still get 5G cellular, a redesigned Workout app, and the new Workout Buddy experience powered by Apple Intelligence.

Battery life is solid at 24 hours, and fast charging means 15 minutes gets you 8 more hours. Perfect for overnight sleep tracking. It even supports wrist flick gestures and Live Translation in Messages, thanks to Apple Intelligence.

What you miss from the Ultra 3 are satellite communications, extreme battery life, and ultra-premium build. But for most, that’s a fair trade-off.

Buy it if:
You want all the core health, fitness, and smart features in a lighter, more wearable, and less rugged design.

Starting price: $399

Apple Watch SE 3

Apple-Watch-SE-3

The new Apple Watch SE 3 is no longer just the cheap option. It’s a surprisingly capable smartwatch in its own right.

Thanks to the S10 chip, it now supports an Always-On display, fast charging, 5G, and even some Apple Intelligence features like Workout Buddy and the wrist flick gesture. You still get the new Sleep Score, wrist temperature sensing, sleep apnea notifications, and a surprisingly durable Ion X glass build.

There’s no hypertension detection, no blood oxygen sensor, and no ECG, but for many users, these are bonuses, not essentials. The SE 3 also supports Apple Watch for Kids, making it an excellent family-friendly option.

Buy it if:
You’re new to Apple Watch, don’t need deep health features, or want an affordable model with all-day battery life, a solid display, and fast performance.

Starting price: $249

AI just created a virus that kills bacteria—should we be scared?

Picture this: a computer sitting in a lab, essentially “thinking up” brand new forms of life from scratch. That’s exactly what just happened at Stanford and the Arc Institute, where researchers used artificial intelligence to design viruses that can actually kill bacteria. And yes, these AI-created viruses work in real life.

Here’s how wild this is, it’s the first time anyone has used AI to dream up an entire viral genome from nothing. No copying nature’s homework, no tweaking existing designs. Pure digital creativity turned into living biology.

The AI system, called Evo, works kind of like ChatGPT, except instead of being trained on books and articles, it learned from 2 million different virus genomes. When researchers asked it to design new versions of a simple virus called phiX174, Evo created 302 completely original genetic blueprints. The kicker? Sixteen of them actually came to life in the lab and successfully infected E. coli bacteria.

“This was like watching digital code become biology,” said Brian Hie, who runs the lab. You can practically hear the excitement, and maybe a little nervousness, in his voice.

The potential upside is huge. We’re talking about supercharged treatments for antibiotic-resistant infections, which kill hundreds of thousands of people every year. Imagine having an AI design custom viruses to hunt down specific bacteria that antibiotics can’t touch anymore. Or think about gene therapy, using these designer viruses as tiny delivery trucks to fix genetic diseases.

But here’s where things get uncomfortable. J. Craig Venter, basically the godfather of synthetic biology, didn’t sugarcoat his concerns. He called this “a faster version of trial and error” and warned that the same technology could potentially be misused to create much nastier viruses than simple bacteria killers.

Right now, Evo only knows about viruses that don’t harm humans. But the underlying technology? That could theoretically be retrained on more dangerous stuff. It’s like having a recipe generator that currently only knows how to make cookies, but could learn to make dynamite if someone fed it the wrong cookbook.

We’re still years away from AI creating entire synthetic cells, those would need millions of genetic letters instead of the thousands in these simple viruses. But companies like Ginkgo Bioworks are already working on fully automated systems that could go from AI design to living organism without human hands touching the process.

It’s honestly breathtaking and unsettling at the same time. We might be witnessing the moment when life itself becomes programmable, when the line between digital code and biological reality finally disappears. The question isn’t whether this technology will change everything, it’s whether we’re ready for what comes next.

In related AI news, Huawei has recently unveiled its powerful Atlas 950 and 960 SuperPoDs in a direct challenge to Nvidia, while Tencent has introduced a groundbreaking 3D AI tool that is available completely free.
