iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Slim to Arrive With 120Hz LTPO OLED Displays: Report

Apple
launched
the

iPhone
16
series
of
smartphones
at
the
company’s
‘It’s
Glowtime’
hardware
launch
event
on
September
9.
While
handsets
just
went
on
sale
in
India
and
several
other
markets

on
Friday,
details
of
Apple’s
purported
iPhone
17
series,
which
is
expected
to
debut
in
the
second
half
of
2025,
have
already
surfaced
online.
In
line
with

previous
predictions,
a
market
analyst
says
that
Apple’s
next
generation
iPhone
models
will
support
a
display
feature
that
was
currently
limited
to
Pro
models.

In
a
now-deleted
post
on
X
(formerly
Twitter)
Display
Supply
Chain
Consultants’
Ross
Young
said
(via
GSMArena)
that
the
successors
to
the
iPhone
16
and

iPhone
16
Plus
—
expected
to
debut
as
the
iPhone
17
and

redesigned
iPhone
17
Slim
—
will
be
equipped
with
upgraded
displays
with
a
refresh
rate
that
ranges
between
1Hz
and
120Hz.

While
Apple
introduced
its
120Hz
ProMotion
on
its
smartphones
with
the

iPhone
13
Pro
and

iPhone
13
Pro
Max
in
2021,
the
company’s
recent
models
are
equipped
with
LTPO
AMOLED
screens
that
enable
functionality
like
the
always
on
display
feature
that
arrived
with
the
iPhone
14
Pro
and
newer
models.

If
Young’s
claim
is
accurate,
the
iPhone
17
and
the
iPhone
17
Slim
could
be
the
first
non-Pro
models
from
the
company
to
be
equipped
with
displays
that
have
a
high
refresh
rate.
Even
the
latest
iPhone
16
and
iPhone
16
Plus
feature
60Hz
displays,
while
several
cheaper
Android
smartphones
that
are
five
times
cheaper
than
the
base
iPhone
16
model
offer
a
higher
refresh
rate.

While
the
iPhone
16
lineup
offers
a
few
incremental
hardware
improvements
over
last
year’s
models,
the
purported
iPhone
17
Pro
models
are
expected
to
arrive
with
more
RAM
—
the
iPhone
17
Pro
Max
will

reportedly
be
equipped
with
12GB
of
RAM
and
a
vapour
chamber
cooling
system.
Both
the
Pro
models
could
also
feature

a
new
2nm
chipset
from
Apple,
built
by
Taiwan
Semiconductor
Manufacturing
Co
(TSMC)
next
year.

Oppo Find X8 Series Launch Date Tipped, Company Teases Slim Display Bezels Ahead of Debut

Oppo
Find
X8
series
is
expected
to
launch
in
China
soon
and
details
of
the
company’s
next-generation
flagship
smartphones
have
been
surfacing
online
over
the
past
few
weeks.
A
tipster
has
now
leaked
the
purported
launch
date
of
the
Oppo
Find
X8
series,
which
is
expected
to
debut
in
China.
Meanwhile,
the
company
has
also
given
us
a
peek
at
a
portion
of
the
smartphone’s
display,
which
is
shown
next
to
the
recently
unveiled
iPhone
16
Pro
model
with
very
slim
display
bezels.

Oppo
Find
X8
Series
Launch
Date
(Leaked)

Oppo
Find
X8
series
will
be
launched
in
China
on
October
21
“at
the
earliest”,
according
to
a

post
by
tipster
Digital
Chat
Station
(translated
from
Chinese)
on
Weibo.
The
handset
is
likely
to
arrive
a
few
days
after
the
release
of
Android
15-based
ColorOS
15,
which
is
expected
to
be
released
on
October
17.

The
tipster,
who
has
a
good
track
record
of
leaking
information
related
to
unreleased
devices,
goes
on
to
claim
that
the Oppo
Find
X8
series
will
also
be
joined
by
the
Oppo
Pad
3
Pro,
and
Enco
X3.
Previous
reports
also
suggest
that
Oppo
will
launch
new
accessories
equipped
with
magnets,
such
as
the
recently
leaked
magnetic
wireless
charging
power
bank.

Bezel
Teased

If
the
tipster’s
claims
are
accurate,
the
launch
of
the
Oppo
Find
X8
in
China
is
just
a
few
weeks
away.
Oppo’s
Chief
Product
Officer
Pete
Lau

posted
an
image
on
X
(formerly
Twitter)
that
shows
two
smartphones
next
to
each
other.
The
icons
at
the
bottom
of
the
smartphone
on
the
left
reveal
that
it
is
an
iPhone,
while
the
one
on
the
right
indicates
that
it
is
an
Oppo
phone
running
on
ColorOS.

While
Lau’s
post
doesn’t
mention
the
name
of
the
Android
smartphone,
tipster
Ice
Universe
(@UniverseIce)
responded
to
his
post
stating
that
the
two
handsets
are
the
recently
launched

iPhone
16
Pro
and
the
upcoming
Oppo
Find
X8.
The
user
also
claims
that
Oppo’s
phone
will
sport
thinner
bezels
than
Apple’s
flagship
iPhone.

According
to
previous

reports,
the
successor
to
the

Oppo
Find
X7
will
be
powered
by
the
purported
Dimensity
9400
chipset,
which
is
yet
to
be
announced
by MediaTek.
This
chipset
is
expected
to
be
unveiled
soon
and
will
compete
with
the
Snapdragon
8
Gen
4
from
Qualcomm,
which
is
likely
to
be
launched
in
October.
More
details
of
the
smartphone
are
expected
to
emerge
in
the
coming
weeks.

Jo Tera Hai Woh Mera Hai Review: A Light-Hearted Comedy About Greed That Steers Clear of Depth

When
Emily
Dickinson
wrote
“The
heart
wants
what
it
wants,”
it
hit
home
for
many
of
us.
Like
Dickinson
said,
human
desires
and
fixations
are
often
beyond
rationale
and
reasoning.

JioCinema’s
latest
original,
Jo
Tera
Hai
Wo
Mera
Hai,
is
based
on
the
same
concept.
The
film
tells
the
story
of
a
man
called
Mitesh
(Amit
Sial),
who
has
had
his
heart
set
on
Utsav,
a
gorgeous
Bungalow
in
Mumbai,
for
years.
Like
a
love-struck
teenager,
he
keeps
scrolling
through
photos
of
the
villa
on
his
phone,
daydreams
about
it,
and
doesn’t
mind
holding
up
traffic
just
to
get
a
moment
to
admire
the
villa
in
its
full
glory.

The
only
obstacle
that
stands
in
the
way
of
his
childhood
dream
house
is
Govinda
(Paresh
Rawal),
the
perpetually
cranky
owner
of
Utsav,
who
pelts
unwanted
visitors
away
and
stays
with
his
household
help
at
the
villa.
He
is
well
aware
of
the
place’s
magnetism
and
can’t
stand
the
sight
of
brokers
hovering
over
him,
waiting
for
him
to
agree
to
sell
the
place.
A
notice
outside
his
villa
reads
“Trespassers
will
be
killed”.
Govinda,
always
seen
in
a
khadi
kurta
with
his
cloudy
hair,
is
a
tough
nut
to
crack.

However,
when
Mitesh’s
obsession
takes
over,
he
decides
to
make
his
way
into
Govinda’s
tightly
wound
life.
His
idea
is
to
follow
the
old
man
around,
strategically
build
a
relationship
with
him,
win
his
trust,
and
ultimately
convince
or
con
(whatever
suits
better
at
the
moment)
him
into
giving
away
the
villa.

What
follows
next
is
a
series
of
comical
efforts
at
fulfilling
this
difficult
mission.
Mitesh
is
ready
to
go
to
any
extent
for
the
villa,
even
if
that
means
dealing
with
dangerous
criminals
or
missing
his
kid’s
birthday
party
for
it.
Being
a
man
of
vice,
who
lies
through
his
teeth,
gambles
and
cheats,
this
isn’t
exactly
a
temporary
shift
of
morals
for
him.

Sial’s
portrayal
of
Mitesh
is
impressive
and
keeps
the
mood
of
the
film
light.
From
his
expressions
and
body
language
to
his
comic
timing,
Sial
has
aced
the
role.
He
even
manages
to
bring
a
touch
of
innocence
to
Mitesh,
who
is
otherwise
a
poster
boy
of
flaws.

However,
it
was
Paresh
Rawal
who
stole
the
show
for
me.
The
veteran
actor
has
once
again
delivered
a
stellar
performance,
adding
to
his
diverse
portfolio
of
roles.
His
character’s
crankiness,
insecurities,
and
idiosyncrasies
resonate
through
the
screen.
In
a
scene,
he
gets
suspicious
of
Mitesh’s
intention
and
yet
chooses
to
ignore
it
because
of
the
undivided
attention
he
is
getting
after
ages.

Sadly,
however,
the
screenplay
gives
Rawal
and
Sial
a
very
limited
room
to
shine.
While
the
actors
made
the
most
of
what
was
given
to
them,
the
film
stops
far
short
of
utilising
them
to
their
fullest
potential.
I
would
have
loved
the
film
to
explore
Govinda’s
loneliness
and
touch
upon
his
memories
with
his
deceased
son,
who
is
constantly
spoken
of
in
the
film.

Jo
Tera
Hai
Wo
Mera
Hai
essentially
tries
to
show
the
omnipresence
of
greed
across
age,
class,
or
gender.
Even
with
its
comical
approach,
it
succeeds
in
establishing
how
greed
often
leads
to
one
digging
their
own
grave.
Almost
all
characters
in
the
movie
harbour
greed
for
something.
For
some
it’s
money
and
assets,
for
others
it
is
lust
and
companionship.

While
Jo
Tera
Hai
Woh
Mera
Hai
makes
an
honest
attempt
at
showing
the
depths
of
greed,
it
suffers
from
an
overly
simplistic
tone
that
glosses
over
the
harsher
realities
of
the
world.
Had
it
not
sugarcoated
the
portrayal
and
attempted
to
satirise
instead,
the
film
wouldn’t
have
felt
like
a
preachy,
bedtime
story
about
the
immorality
of
greed.

Raj
Trivedi’s
film
could
be
a
good
pick
for
when
you
are
looking
for
something
light-hearted
and
simplistic.
Its
lessons
in
morality
might
suit
a
younger
audience,
but
if
you
are
looking
for
something
with
a
little
more
emotional
depth,
or
even
just
all-out
laughs,
we
suggest
you
skip
this
one.

Apple’s macOS Sequoia Update Reportedly Causing Issues With Multiple Security Tools


Apple
rolled
out
the
stable
version
of
macOS
15
update,
also
known
as

macOS
Sequoia,
to
all
users
on
Monday.
However,
it
appears
the
update
has
created
some
unexpected
issues
for
users,
especially
around
third-party
security
tools.
As
per
a
report,
the
Cupertino-based
giant’s
operating
system
(OS)
is
breaking
down
network-based
security
software
by
Microsoft,
CrowdStrike,
and
others.
Since
the
security
tool
makers
offer
enterprise-grade
tools,
the
update
could
have
put
businesses
running
exclusively
on
Mac
devices
at
risk.
Currently,
the
cause
of
the
issue
is
unknown.

TechCrunch

reports
that
the
macOS
Sequoia
update
has
impacted
the
functionality
of
security
tools
developed
by
Microsoft,
CrowdStrike,
SentinelOne,
and
other
manufacturers.
The
publication
cited
a
Mac-focused
Slack
channel
where
many
users
complained
about
the
issue.

Gadgets
360
staff
members
also
found
Reddit
multiple
threads
where
users
found
that
the
security
apps
were
not
working
after
updating
macOS.
Some
claimed
the
lack
of
support
for
the
security
tools
could
be
because
of
numerous
glitches
in
the
operating
system.

One
user

said,
“Amazing
it
isn’t
supported
yet.
Beta’s
have
been
available
for
a
while,
dev
builds
even
earlier
–
I
assume
they
have
a
dev
account.
Unless
something
is
really,
really,
broken
on
Apple’s
side
–
there
isn’t
an
excuse.”

The
main
concern
with
this
issue
is
that
Mac
devices
are
used
by
many
organisations
exclusively,
and
issues
with
security
systems
can
pose
a
major
risk.
As
per
the
report,
one
CrowdStrike
sales
engineer
mentioned
in
the
abovementioned
Slack
room
that
the
security
tools
will
not
be
supported
despite
the
company’s
best
efforts
on
day
one.
It
is
unclear
whether
the
tool
is
currently
supported
or
not.

Another
Reddit
user

claimed
that
the
macOS
Sequoia
issues
are
affecting
apps
outside
of
the
security
tools
as
well.
The
user
found
that
almost
90
percent
of
the
apps
were
suffering
from
issues
in
the
M1
Max-powered
MacBook
Pro.
“Also
met
the
wifi
issue,
fully
cannot
access
the
internet
even
tho
can
connect
to
phone
hotspot[..]if
it
is
still
like
this,
then
tomorrow
I
will
do
nothing
at
work,”
he
added.

Will
Dormann,
a
security
researcher,

posted
on
Mastodon
that
he
faced
issues
with
DNS
for
several
apps
as
well
as
the
firewall
working
properly
on
his
device.
So
far,
Apple
has
not
issued
any
statement
regarding
when
these
issues
will
be
fixed.

Social Media Users Lack Control Over Data Used by AI, US FTC Says


Social
media
companies
collect,
share
and
process
vast
troves
of
information
about
their
users
while
offering
little
transparency
or
control,
including
over
how
it
is
used
by
systems
incorporating
artificial
intelligence,
the

US
Federal
Trade
Commission
said
in
a
report
released
on
Thursday.

The
report
analyzed
how

Meta
Platforms,
ByteDance’s

TikTok,
Amazon’s
gaming
platform
Twitch,
and
others
manage
user
data,
concluding
that
data
management
and
retention
policies
at
many
of
the
companies
were
“woefully
inadequate.”

YouTube,
social
media
platform

X,
Snap,
Discord
and

Reddit
were
also
included
in
the
FTC
report,
though
its
findings
were
anonymized
and
did
not
reveal
specific
companies’
practices.
YouTube
is
owned
by
Alphabet’s
Google.

Discord,
a
communications
platform,
said
the
report
lumps
very
different
business
models
into
one
category,
and
that
it
did
not
offer
advertising
at
the
time
the
study
was
conducted.

An
X
spokesperson
said
the
report
is
based
on
practices
from
2020
when
the
site
was
known
as
Twitter,
which
X
has
since
improved.

“X
takes
user
data
privacy
seriously
and
ensures
users
are
aware
of
the
data
they
are
sharing
with
the
platform
and
how
it
is
being
used,
while
providing
them
with
the
option
of
limiting
the
data
that
is
collected
from
their
accounts,”
the
spokesperson
said.

Only
about
1
percent
of
X’s
current
U.S.
users
are
between
ages
13
and
17,
the
spokesperson
said.

Other
companies
did
not
immediately
reply
to
requests
for
comment.

Social
media
companies
gather
data
through
tracking
technologies
used
in
online
advertising
and
buying
information
from
data
brokers,
and
other
means,
the
FTC
said.

“While
lucrative
for
the
companies,
these
surveillance
practices
can
endanger
people’s
privacy,
threaten
their
freedoms,
and
expose
them
to
a
host
of
harms,
from
identity
theft
to
stalking,”
said
FTC
Chair
Lina
Khan.

Data
privacy,
particularly
for
kids
and
teens,
has
been
a
hot-button
issue.
The
US
House
of
Representatives
is
considering
bills
passed
by
the
Senate
in
July
aimed
at
addressing
social
media’s
effects
on
younger
users.
And
Meta
recently
rolled
out
teen
accounts
that
incorporate
enhanced
parental
controls.

Meanwhile,
Big
Tech
companies
have
been
scrambling
to
acquire
sources
of
data
to
train
their
emerging
artificial-intelligence
technologies.
The
data
deals
are
infrequently
disclosed
and
often
involve
private
content
locked
behind
paywalls
and
login
screens,
with
scant
or
no
notice
to
the
users
who
posted
it.

In
addition
to
collecting
data
about
how
users
engage
with
their
services,
most
of
the
companies
the
FTC
reviewed
collected
users’
age
and
gender
or
guessed
it
based
on
other
information.
Some
also
gathered
information
on
users’
income,
education
and
family
status,
the
FTC
said.

Companies
gathered
data
on
individuals
who
did
not
use
their
services,
and
some
were
not
able
to
identify
all
of
the
ways
they
collected
and
used
data,
the
FTC
said.

Advertising
industry
groups
criticised
the
report
on
Thursday,
saying
that
consumers
recognize
the
value
of
ad-supported
services.

“We
are
disappointed
with
the
FTC’s
continued
characterization
of
the
digital
advertising
industry
as
engaged
in
‘mass
commercial
surveillance,'”
said
David
Cohen,
chief
executive
of
the
Interactive
Advertising
Bureau,
an
advertising
and
marketing
group
which
counts
Snapchat,
TikTok
and
Amazon
among
its
members.
