Caviar is the Dubai-based luxury brand best known for its ultra-premium custom smartphones and accessories. The brand has now officially entered the world of high-end sporting goods. The company has introduced the world’s first padel racket adorned with radiant gold and solid 18K gold detailing, named Altair.

Caviar Altair – Ultra-Luxury Padel Racket

Named after Altair, the star in the Aquila constellation with Arabic roots, the racket pays tribute to the UAE’s rich cultural and astronomical heritage. Padel has quickly become a favourite among the global elite, particularly in luxury hotspots like Dubai, Riyadh, and Monaco.

Interestingly, only three units of the Altair racket have been produced globally, each priced at $8,070.

It features a lustrous gold-finished face, while the handle and wrist strap are made of genuine buffalo leather. Solid 18K gold embellishes the crown, grip inlays and screws. Each racket comes in a custom-designed Caviar-branded travel case and is available for international delivery.

Beneath the opulence, the racket’s core is built from lightweight carbon fibre to meet professional padel performance standards. However, due to the delicate nature of the gold finish, Caviar recommends using the Altair primarily as a display piece rather than for active play, as frequent use could cause wear.

If this new report hold any ground, Apple is probably gearing up to introduce tandem-structure OLED panels to future iPhones. This is key display advancements currently exclusive to the M4 iPad Pro lineup. Here’s more on that.

Advanced Tandem OLED Displays for Future iPhone

According to a recent The Elec report, Apple has mapped out a two-year production timeline to adapt the superior tandem OLED technology for iPhones. However, since the company has not yet finalised whether it will collaborate with Samsung Display or LG Display, iPhones featuring tandem OLED panels likely won’t debut until after 2028.

The tandem OLED displays used in Apple’s latest iPad Pro models stack two RGB organic light-emitting layers, which significantly boost brightness, improve power efficiency and extend panel lifespan, advantages not found in the current single-stack OLED displays used in iPhones.

For iPhones, Apple is reportedly evaluating a variation called “simplified tandem” OLED, which stacks two layers only for the blue sub-pixel, while the red and green sub-pixels remain on a single layer. This version still aims to improve performance while reducing complexity and manufacturing costs.

LG Display is believed to have pitched this simplified tandem OLED approach to Apple, backed by its confidence in the technology. In fact, LG proposed a tandem OLED solution for iPhones several years ago and is now reportedly ahead of Samsung in this area.

Notably, LG has already supplied more tandem OLED panels for the iPad Pro than Samsung and has experience with two-stack OLEDs in its automotive display segment. In contrast, Samsung’s automotive OLEDs typically use a single-stack method.

Given LG’s lead, Apple is reportedly showing stronger interest in LG’s tandem OLED tech. That said, Apple is expected to diversify its supply chain to ensure production scalability and cost efficiency, which could bring China’s BOE into the mix as well.

As with all early-stage technology plans, there’s a possibility that Apple’s strategy may evolve over time. But if the company proceeds as expected, tandem OLED displays could significantly elevate display performance in future iPhones post-2028.

FAQs

Q1. What is tandem OLED technology, and how does it benefit iPhones?

Answer. Tandem OLED technology stacks two RGB organic light-emitting layers, which significantly enhances brightness, improves power efficiency, and extends the display’s lifespan, advantages over the current single-stack OLED panels used in iPhones.

Q2. When are iPhones expected to feature tandem OLED displays?

Answer. Apple is reportedly working on a two-year production timeline, but due to supplier decisions still pending, tandem OLED-equipped iPhones are unlikely to launch before 2028.

Q3. Which companies are involved in developing tandem OLED panels for Apple?

Answer. Apple is evaluating options from LG Display and Samsung Display, with LG currently leading due to its experience and early proposals. Apple may also consider BOE to diversify its supply chain for scalability and cost efficiency.

We have had quite a few looks at the upcoming 17 iPhone Series models including the iPhone 17 Air.  Now, a newly surfaced photo has given us a clearer look at the incredibly thin battery reportedly designed for Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air. Meanwhile, Apple’s patent shows a new type of image sensor that would change the photography capabilities of future iPhones. Here’s more on both reports.

iPhone 17 Air’s New Leaked Photo

Leaker Majin Bu recently shared multiple photos of the alleged iPhone 17 Air battery. Adding to the credibility, Chinese blogger Yeux1122 posted a side profile image comparing it to the iPhone 17 Pro battery, showcasing the dramatic difference in thickness.

The latest image shows the battery side-by-side with that of the iPhone 17 Pro.

The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to be Apple’s slimmest iPhone to date with a thickness of just 5.5mm. To maintain the thin form factor, Apple has had to make some compromises including limiting the device to a single rear camera unlike the triple-camera setup seen on the Pro models.

Battery life may also take a hit. Leaks suggest that the iPhone 17 Air will be powered by a 2800mAh battery. That’s a notable downgrade compared to the 3500mAh capacity in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro. The upcoming iPhone 17 Pro Max, in contrast, is expected to house a much larger 5000mAh battery.

Apple Reportedly Building Its Own Custom Image Sensor

Apple patent reveals new image sensor with dynamic range for future iPhones. (Image credit – Apple)

In parallel with hardware developments like the iPhone 17 Air, Apple is reportedly working on its own custom image sensor that could dramatically improve camera performance in future iPhones.

According to a leaker on Weibo, Apple is developing a new sensor with dynamic range levels that could rival the human eye, estimated between 20 to 30 stops. For comparison, current smartphones typically manage 10 to 13 stops, while professional cinema cameras like the ARRI ALEXA 35 push toward the higher end of that range.

A recently filed Apple patent titled “Image Sensor With Stacked Pixels Having High Dynamic Range And Low Noise” outlines a new stacked sensor design. The sensor consists of two layers, the top “sensor die” captures light, and the bottom “logic die” handles image processing such as exposure control and noise reduction.

One of the standout features is the Lateral Overflow Integration Capacitor (LOFIC) system, which allows each pixel to store varying amounts of light based on scene brightness. This enables the sensor to capture both highlights and shadows more accurately, even in high-contrast environments like a person standing in front of a bright window.

Another innovation involves minimising electronic noise with each pixel has a dedicated memory circuit that actively measures and cancels heat-related signal noise in real time right on the chip, before any software processing occurs.

According to the Weibo source Fixed Focus Digital, this isn’t just a patent on paper. The sensor has reportedly already been developed and is now undergoing tests in early hardware prototypes. This could indicate Apple’s intention to integrate it into future consumer devices.

Currently, Apple relies on Sony for iPhone camera sensors, which also use a two-layer approach. However, Apple’s version introduces new features and a more compact design. If Apple transitions to its own sensor, it would gain end-to-end control over the image processing pipeline, mirroring its successful shift away from Intel and Qualcomm by developing in-house chips.

FAQs

Q1. How thin is the iPhone 17 Air expected to be?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air is rumoured to be Apple’s slimmest iPhone yet, with a thickness of just 5.5mm, achieved by using a dramatically thinner battery compared to the iPhone 17 Pro.

Q2. What is Apple’s new custom image sensor designed to do?

Answer. Apple’s custom image sensor aims to deliver a dynamic range between 20 to 30 stops, rivalling cinema cameras. It uses a stacked pixel design with LOFIC tech and real-time noise cancellation for improved highlight and shadow detail.

Q3. Why is Apple developing its own image sensor?

Answer. Apple currently relies on Sony for camera sensors. By developing its own, Apple seeks end-to-end control over the image processing pipeline, similar to its shift away from Intel and Qualcomm.

Google has officially confirmed that the Pixel 10 series will be announced on August 20, 2025. Reports have previously indicated that the new devices and accessories would go on sale shortly after the event. However, that might not be the case. We are hearing murmurs that not all the products are expected to be unveiled at the Made by Google event. Here’s more on that.

Google Pixel Launch Schedule

According to a report from WinFuture, Google is currently facing supply chain issues affecting the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a. While these products are still slated to be announced during the August 20 launch event, fans may have to wait longer to get their hands on them.

The report suggests that the standard Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL models will be available in stores on August 28.

However, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a are reportedly delayed until October 9, 2025.

Though the exact cause of the delay hasn’t been confirmed, the report speculates that the use of new components in these devices may be responsible for the supply chain bottlenecks.

This delay is especially disappointing for those looking forward to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, which risks falling further behind the highly praised Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7. Similarly, the Pixel Watch 4’s postponement gives Samsung’s Galaxy Watch 8 lineup more time to win over potential buyers. Those planning to purchase the Pixel 10 series at launch will also miss out on the full ecosystem experience as the Pixel Watch won’t be available for another five weeks.

Last Year’s Pixel Device Launch Schedule

This scattered launch schedule is not really a surprise, though. For context, last year’s launch timeline for the Pixel device was also staggered.

In 2024, the Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro XL hit the shelves on August 22, just over a week after their August 13 announcement. However, the smaller Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro Fold were delayed until September 4, while the Pixel Watch 3 launched on September 10, followed by the Pixel Buds Pro 2 on September 26. Google didn’t provide specific reasons for those delays and it’s unlikely to issue an explanation this time either.

It’s worth noting that all of this is based on a leak and Google has yet to confirm any availability details. We expect to hear more during the official Pixel 10 series announcement on August 20.

FAQs

Q1. When will the Pixel 10 series be officially announced and released?

Answer. Google will announce the Pixel 10 series on August 20, 2025. The standard Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, and Pixel 10 Pro XL are expected to be available in stores starting August 28, 2025.

Q2. Why are the Pixel 10 Pro Fold, Pixel Watch 4, and Pixel Buds 2a delayed?

Answer. These devices are reportedly delayed until October 9, 2025, due to supply chain issues, possibly caused by the use of new components in their design.

Q3. Has Google confirmed the delayed availability of these products?

Answer. No, the delay is based on a leak from WinFuture, and Google has not officially confirmed the availability timeline. More details are expected during the August 20 announcement.

To start a guest chat, a WhatsApp user can invite a contact without the app by sending them a chat link. Once the recipient clicks the link, they can join an online chat that is end-to-end encrypted. The interface for this is expected to resemble WhatsApp Web.

However, there will be some restrictions. Guest chats will support only basic text messaging. Media sharing, voice or video messages, GIFs, and group chats will not be available in this mode. The feature will be limited strictly to one-on-one conversations.

While technical specifics are still under wraps, this move aligns with Meta’s broader goal of ensuring platform interoperability, particularly in response to new EU regulations. WhatsApp has also been working on integrating chats from platforms like iMessage, Telegram, Google Messages, and Signal.

There’s no official timeline for when Guest Chats will be available for all users. Reports suggest it is likely to arrive in a future update for both Android and iOS unless there are major technical roadblocks.

Google is gearing up to launch the Pixel 10 series on August 20. The series will include the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL and Pixel 10 Pro Fold, alongside the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a.

Ahead of the big reveal, leaks about these devices have been pouring in from all corners. Google itself has been adding to the buzz by teasing bits of its next-gen lineup. The latest teaser, however, takes a more cheeky turn while directly mocking Apple.

Google Pixel 10 Latest Ad

Google has just released a new 30-second teaser for the Pixel 10 on its official YouTube channel and it’s a bold jab at Apple’s highly delayed “Apple Intelligence” feature. The ad doesn’t bother to flaunt hardware or specs. Instead, it focuses on a simple but sharp message, zeroing in on one of Apple’s most criticised missteps of the past year, the long-promised, still-undelivered smart Siri update.

The ad’s narration lands the blow saying, “If you buy a new phone because of a feature that’s coming soon… But it’s been coming soon for a full year.. You could change your definition of soon. Or you could just change your phone.”

To put this in context, Apple first introduced its personalised Siri features powered by Apple Intelligence at WWDC 2024. These features were used to promote the iPhone 16 lineup with the promise that the new AI-powered Siri functionality would arrive “soon.”

However, Apple failed to deliver on that timeline and eventually confirmed that the updated Siri experience would be delayed until spring 2026, an entire year later than initially promised. This delay hasn’t gone unnoticed by consumers, and it has even led to class action lawsuits for alleged false advertising.

Google is clearly leaning into this moment. With AI being the current tech battleground, the company isn’t holding back in reminding users that it already has working on-device AI thanks to Gemini running on its Pixel lineup.

The ad’s message is cocky, confident and perfectly timed to build hype just weeks before the official August 20 launch.
