Apple’s New Betas Offer Some Clues About the Next iPhones and MacBooks

While Apple silicon has changed the game for the company's product lineup (most notably the Mac), Apple's overall designs haven't changed all that much in recent years. Sure, the iPhone 17 Pro looks a bit different than the iPhone 16 Pro, but to most, they might as well be identical. Meanwhile, a MacBook Pro, from 2026 looks exactly like one from 2022—you'd have to use it to know what M-series chip it was running. That could all change in the next year. The rumor mill is predicting Apple will release two brand-new devices in the near future: a foldable iPhone and a touchscreen MacBook. These products would certainly offer a departure from Apple's typical lineup, giving users their first chance to buy devices with these features within the Apple ecosystem. Reports suggest these devices will...

Mumbai docs: More adults above 30 yrs suffering from brain tumours than elderly

Currently, Mumbai doctors are seeing a surge in cases of brain tumours among adults aged 35-45 years. This trend can be attributed to diagnostic facilities, greater awareness, environmental factors, genetic predisposition, and lifestyle-related health challenges.  It is also why they say adults shouldn’t ignore persistent headaches, vision changes, seizures, or balance problems. Experts advise timely attention for symptoms such as constant headaches, vision changes, and seizures. Timely intervention is life-saving for the patients. Previously, brain tumours were commonly seen in the older population above 60 years of age. However, there is a shift in the trend now. Dr Nitin Dange, director - Interventional Neurologist and Neurosurgeon, Gleneagles Hospital in Parel, said, “Unfortunately, ...

Apple’s Image Playground Just Caught Up to ChatGPT and Gemini

Image Playground's generations are a lot more impressive this year. Credit: David Nield/Lifehacker Among all the other artificial intelligence upgrades Apple is rolling out for us this year, you'll find that there's a significant jump forward in Image Playground's AI image generation abilities. Before now, the app's outputs were rather limited in terms of size, style, and possible prompts. It was very much AI images for beginners, with the results mostly basic and generic.With iOS 27, iPadOS 27, and macOS 27, that's changing. You can try the developer betas now (though you probably shouldn't; the public betas are arriving in July), and Apple says the full releases will appear later in the yea...

The Toronto music scene has a ‘Banana Man’ situation – National

Toronto is in the global spotlight this week, and not just because of the World Cup. The world also seems transfixed on a man in a banana suit. And it hasn’t been going well for the banana. On June 5, a hardcore band called Terror headlined a show at Lithuanian House on a tour supporting their album, Still Suffer. Also on the bill was End It, a hardcore band from Baltimore. When they took the stage, they couldn’t help notice the giant banana in the audience, or, more correctly, a man in a sparkly banana suit.This was Banana Man, a guy named Scott who has made a habit of going to rock gigs dressed this way. He’s been spotted crowd-surfing at a Rise Against Show (his second time) and in a giant circle pit at a gig by System of a Down. He clearly loves what he does and has connected with mosh...

Rising obesity in India may be ageing hearts prematurely, doctors caution

As obesity rates rise in India, doctors warn that many people may have a `cardiac age` significantly older than their actual age, raising the risk of cardiovascular disease much earlier than expected. The concern comes in the wake of findings from the National Family Health Survey-6 (NFHS-6), which showed a sharp increase in obesity among Indian adults. The survey found that 30.7 per cent of women aged 15-49 years were overweight or obese in 2023-24, up from 24 per cent in NFHS-5 (2019-21), while the proportion among men rose from 22.9 per cent to 27.3 per cent. Experts said the trend, coupled with rising diabetes and hypertension, could translate into a greater burden of heart disease. Dr Nitish Naik, Professor of Cardiology at AIIMS, Delhi, said cardiac age is increasingly being used...
