Now that we know September 9 is the event date for Apple to launch its next lineup, we can also take an educated guess on clear timelines.

The launch date gives us an indication of two other key dates – device pre-orders and public release.

Here’s what we can assume –

  • iPhone 16 pre-orders: Friday, September 13
  • iPhone 16 release date: Friday, September 20

These dates are in line with Apple’s standard launch, pre-order and release pattern.

It is important to note that no official confirmation has been made yet and Apple could easily throw a curveball to shake things up around the iPhone release pattern.

However, it is highly unlikely for Apple to change any release date patterns this year.

It is primarily because there have been no hints or rumours about any such possibility of a change.

Usually, such rumours always come out before the event.

One of the key benefits of adaptive touch is its ability to enhance touch recognition when your fingers are wet.

Whether after washing hands or when you are outside in the rain, interacting with a phone’s touchscreen can be frustrating due to missed inputs or random actions.

However, with adaptive touch enabled in the Pixel 9 series, the touch performance in these conditions is significantly improved.

According to a comparison by Android Authority, the Pixel 9 handles wet fingers much more accurately than its predecessor, the Pixel 8 Pro.

In a YouTube video, Android Authority demonstrates how Pixel 8 Pro struggles with erratic screen behaviour.

The new feature provides smoother and more precise touch interactions even when your fingers are wet.

Screen Protector Sensitivity

Upcoming Google devices may feature advanced Tensor 4 chip and Gemini AI models

The device adapts its sensitivity not only for screen protectors but also based on a variety of factors.

This upgraded feature offers optimal touch response in any situation.

The adaptive touch feature on the Pixel 9 is enabled by default.

However, users do have the option to turn it off if they want.

Telegram Launches with New Business Features for Enhanced Customer Interaction

Highlights

  • Pavel Durov, CEO of Telegram, was arrested in France, sparking reactions.
  • Free speech advocates criticise it as an attempt to control the platform.
  • Durov’s detention has been reportedly extended up to 24 hours.

French authorities arrested Pavel Durov, the CEO of the popular messaging app Telegram, on Saturday, after he arrived from Azerbaijan on his private jet at Le Bourget airport, near Paris.

While Durov is being accused of “failing to take action to curb the criminal use of his platform,” the arrest reportedly involved officers from several French agencies.

Telegram has questioned the legality of Durov’s detention.

The arrest was jointly conducted by the Air Transport Gendarmerie (GTA), the Cyberspace Gendarmerie Command (COMCyberGEND), the National Anti-Fraud Office (ONAF), and the Border Police (PAF).

Durov faces up to 20 years in prison if convicted.

The 39-year-old Franco-Russian billionaire was arrested in France on Saturday.

The news of Durov’s arrest has sparked reactions from all corners.

On one hand, reactionaries on social media claimed that France is cracking down on criminal activities facilitated by Telegram’s encrypted messaging platform.

On the other hand, however, free speech advocates like Edward Snowden and Leonid Volkov, an advisor to Alexei Navalny, have come forward to criticise France’s actions.

Free speech advocates from across the board have argued that the move is an attempt to control a platform that supports free speech.

Telegram maintains minimal oversight over its 900 million users worldwide.

Elon Musk criticized the situation, on X saying that in Europe in 2030, it looks like people are being punished for just liking a meme.

Businessman and investor Elon Musk too has expressed concerns over European authorities arresting Pavel Durov.

In multiple posts on X (previously Twitter), Musk described the arrest as an attack on free speech and demanded justice for Durov.

Musk, who sparked a lot of buzz a couple of years ago over his acquisition of American social media company Twitter, didn’t shy away from accusing Meta Founder Mark Zuckerberg of “caving into censorship pressure.”

“…..he already caved into censorship pressure. Instagram has a massive child exploitation problem, but no arrest for Zuck, as he censors free speech and gives governments backdoor access to user data,” the X owner posted.

While reactions are still pouring in, an anonymous source speaking to Agence France-Presse, France has confirmed that France extended Durov’s detention beyond the initial 24 hours.

As per French media reports, French authorities can extend detention for up to 96 hours without formally charging him.

After this period, France will either charge Durov with crimes or release him.

Meanwhile, Russian authorities have condemned France’s actions, accusing France of refusing to cooperate.

Russian news outlet Tass reported that the embassy has not received any appeals from Durov’s team but is proactively working to address the matter.

Durov is expected to appear in court on Sunday.

As per speculation, French authorities may press multiple charges on the Telegram CEO.

Meanwhile, Telegram came to its co-founder’s defence and released a statement over the arrest and current situation.

“Telegram abides by EU laws, including the Digital Services Act – its moderation is within industry standards and constantly improving,” the statement by Durov’s company reads.

The statement further mentions, “Telegram’s CEO Pavel Durov has nothing to hide and travels frequently in Europe. It is absurd to claim that a platform or its owner is responsible for the abuse of that platform. We’re awaiting a prompt resolution of this situation.”

About Pavel Durov and Telegram

Pavel Durov, 39, originally from Russia, co-founded Telegram with his brother Nikolai in 2013.

Telegram is one of the most downloaded apps globally, boasting 900 million users.

Durov left Russia in 2014 after he refused to comply with the Russian government’s demands to shut down opposition groups on his VK social media platform.

He eventually sold the platform.

This is the primary reason why many experts believe Durov was arrested.

Highlights

  • Apple’s next launch event is scheduled for September 10.
  • Apple expected to introduce the iPhone 16 series, new AirPods and updated Apple Watch models.
  • The brand might discontinue a range of older models post-September launch.
  • Products such as the iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 14 Plus, Apple Watch Series, and AirPods are most likely to be phased out.

Apple is setting the stage for the highly anticipated annual iPhone launch event in September.

Though officially not confirmed, rumours suggest the Apple event is scheduled for September 10.

The Cupertino Giant will likely introduce the iPhone 16 series, new AirPods, updated Apple Watch models, and possibly more during the event.

While we wait for more updates on the event, there is a whole set of older Apple products that are likely to disappear from Apple’s shelves after the upcoming launch.

Let’s take a look at the Apple products that may phase out soon.

iPhone 15 Pro & iPhone 15 Pro Max

iPhone 18 to Feature New Camera Sensor, Ending Sony's Exclusive Reign
iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to follow the tradition.

If we look at the last few years how Apple has managed its launch, the long history of discontinuing flagship iPhones just a year after their release seems like a tradition.

There is no reason to believe that Apple might not follow the same pattern this time.

So, the iPhone 15 Pro series is expected to follow the tradition.

iPhone-15-Pro-e1699560331201
iPhone 15 Pro series with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens

As the first iPhones with titanium bodies and the last with 6.1-inch and 6.7-inch screens, these models might soon be replaced by the iPhone 16 Pro lineup.

As of now, the upcoming iPhone 16 Pro is rumoured to have larger displays.

iPhone 14 Plus

Apple iPhone 14 Plus (128GB)
iPhone 14 Plus was Apple’s entry-level large iPhone.

Apple previously introduced iPhone 12 mini and 13 minis to a lacklustre response.

Post that iPhone 14 Plus was Apple’s entry-level large iPhone.

It comes with a 6.7-inch display and long battery life.

iPhone_14_Plus_1-square_medium
It comes with a 6.7-inch display and long battery life.

With the iPhone 14 Plus, Apple also brought back the “Plus” branding, years after the iPhone 8 Plus was released in 2017.

However, after the launch of the upcoming iPhone 16 series, Apple will most likely keep the iPhone 14 in its portfolio at a lower price point.

iPhone 13

iphone-13-952991
iPhone 13 was introduced with various upgrades.

Launched in 2021, the iPhone 13 was introduced with various upgrades.

It came with a longer battery life and a new camera system.

The phone is now completing 3 years and is the oldest iPhone on Apple’s website.

Over the years, the iPhone 13 went through several price cuts following every new iPhone launch.

iphone-13-finish-unselect-gallery-1-202207_GEO_EMEA_FMT_WHH
It came with a longer battery life and a new camera system.

It started at approximately ₹70,000 in India and is now retailing at around ₹50,000.

Now post iPhone 16 series launch, Apple is likely to iPhone 14 as the entry-level iPhone. This indicates that the iPhone 13 may also soon be phased out.

Apple Watch Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2

Apple Unveils New Watch Series 9 in (PRODUCT)RED Variant in India
Apple will discontinue the current Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2 models.

New versions of all three Apple Watch models are expected next month.

The Series 10 is rumoured to have larger displays, thinner casing, and a new chipset.

For Ultra 3, we can expect minor upgrades this year.

Apple Watch Series 9: Rumours

On the other hand, the SE 3 is expected to get a plastic casing at a more pocket-friendly price.

It is extremely likely that Apple will discontinue the current Series 9, Ultra 2, and SE 2 models.

AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 

AirPods Lite: What to Expect
It was Apple’s entry-level AirPods model.

Apple introduced AirPods 2 in 2019.

It was Apple’s entry-level AirPods model.

The brand later launched AirPods 3 in 2021 with Spatial Audio, better audio quality, and other features.

Updated AirPods Max on the Cards
The upcoming mid-range model is expected to include noise cancellation.

Now Apple is expected to launch two new versions of the AirPods 4, an entry-level model and a mid-tier model.

Both will likely replace AirPods 2 and AirPods 3 respectively.

The upcoming mid-range model is expected to include noise cancellation.

iPad mini 6 and iPad 10

iPad-Mini-6th-generation-1068x601
iPad mini 6 and iPad 10 will get upgraded versions in the upcoming event.

Rumours suggest that the iPad mini 6 and iPad 10 will get upgraded versions in the upcoming event.

Certain reports suggest that the iPad 10 may be enlisted at a reduced price of around ₹30,000 before Apple launches the next-in-line iPad 11.

However, these reports are purely speculative.

Decision driven by cost considerations to maintain affordability
The upcoming iPad model is expected to come with Apple Intelligence support.

Meanwhile, the iPad mini will most likely be discontinued after the upcoming launch.

The upcoming iPad model is expected to come with Apple Intelligence support, enhanced storage and Apple Pencil Pro support.

As Apple gears up for its next big product launch, these older models may soon become a thing of the past.

Meta Tests 24-Hour Disappearing Posts on Threads

Threads Rolls Out New Features to Enhance User Control and Customisation

Highlight

  • Meta is testing the Ephemeral Posts feature on Threads.
  • The feature will allow posts and their replies to disappear after 24 hours.
  • Currently, the feature is being tested with a select group of users.
  • Meta is also preparing to introduce ads on Threads.

Meta is testing a new feature on Threads that will allow users to post content that disappears after 24 hours.

In an attempt to encourage a more casual way of sharing updates among Threads users, this feature will auto-delete posts and their replies once a timer runs out.

If this sounds familiar to you, it is because we already have seen this feature in various other platforms including Meta’s very own Instagram.

Reverse engineer Alessandro Paluzzi recently demonstrated this ephemeral post format on their handle alex193a on Threads.

When users reply to a post, a visible timer will start a countdown.

This will indicate that the post and all its replies will disappear when the time is up.

Interestingly, quote posts will also disappear, although the app’s banner doesn’t explicitly mention this.

This feature is specifically designed for people who keep deleting posts.

Moreover, the 24-hour posts could be especially useful for creators.

Many creators want to share off-brand or off-topic content and they do not wish to clutter their profiles at the same time.

The feature might also appeal to users who want to comment on live events.

The post and comments will be deleted once the event is over.

Speaking to TechCrunch, a Meta spokesperson described the feature as a “new and casual way to share on Threads.”

Meta also confirmed to TechCrunch that this feature is being tested with a select group of users. However, it’s unclear if the testing is region-specific or how users can access it.

Alessandro Paluzzi first revealed the feature details in June 2024.

Paluzzi initially discovered the feature of disappearing posts back in June.

He shared a screenshot that showed a 24-hour button next to the Post button, which would publish a disappearing thread.

Technologist Chris Messina confirming the upcoming 24-hour post feature on Threads.

Earlier this month, Technologist Chris Messina also found hints about this feature in the iOS app’s code.

However, it’s important to note that these temporary posts won’t work on posts shared with the fediverse, such as Mastodon.

Meta would not be able to delete posts from other servers.

We have previously seen this ephemeral post feature in apps such as X, Bluesky, Mastodon, and Instagram.

The feature on paper sounds similar to Twitter’s Fleets. It was a short-lived feature quite similar to Instagram Stories, however, Fleets was discontinued within a year due to low usage.

Alessandro Paluzzi leaked Threads will bring ads on the year-old platform.

In addition to the disappearing posts, Paluzzi also claimed that Meta is preparing to introduce ads on Threads.

With over 200 million users base, Threads is admittedly looking for ways to generate revenue.

However, the Instagram spokesperson didn’t confirm the ads feature.

The feature will allow posts and their replies to disappear after 24 hours.

You get the OnePlus Buds Pro earbuds neatly stacked in a different kind of case than what we usually get for TWS.

We had the Lunar Radiance (white) colour variant for this review.

And it looks elegant and gives off the cool-expensive-gadget feel.

The fit is comfortable.

And suit a large user base, OnePlus has packed three sizes of silicon earbud tips in the box.

We used the earbuds for 4-5 hours at a stretch and it was a comfortable experience.

We didn’t feel any ear fatigue for a long time while we had the earbuds on.

And since the ANC is adaptive, it nicely adjusts the performance level based on the surroundings the user is in.

So, when you are in a quiet area, the earbuds will adjust the noise cancelling to its minimum and save battery on its own.

Thanks to the triple mic setup, the mic performance is good.

We tried testing the earbuds in different conditions, both indoors and outdoors, and the result was better than we expected.

The AI-powered earbuds can detect when the user is talking or when there is some other voice in the background.

This helps the device automatically boost the quality when the user is speaking.

And on other occasions, was not functioning as intended.

Also, the touch controls are not customisable, that’s one thing we don’t know why.
