Recent post by Weibo tipser Digital Chat Station. (Translated via Google Translate)

According to the famous Weibo leaker, both the Xiaomi 16 and 16 Pro will mark one of the largest generational jumps in Xiaomi’s camera hardware to date. The company is reportedly ditching the 32 MP f/2.0 front-facing camera it has used since the Xiaomi 13 series. In its place will be a new 50 MP sensor offering a wider field of view, autofocus, and continued support for 4K/60 FPS video recording.

Digital Chat Station also revealed that the Xiaomi 16 Pro is said to feature an ultra-high dynamic range 1/1.3-inch primary sensor on the rear. While the standard Xiaomi 16 may also get a 1/1.3-inch primary sensor, it will lack ultra-high dynamic range capabilities.

Both models are expected to include a ToF sensor and improved Leica imaging algorithms. As earlier reports indicated, only the Pro variant will feature a periscope telephoto camera.

Interestingly, Xiaomi’s first “Pro Max” model is also rumoured to launch alongside successors to the Xiaomi 15 Pro and the smaller Xiaomi 15. We will have to wait until the final week of September 2025 to know more about that model.

Meanwhile, earlier leaks have suggested the Xiaomi 16 could come with a 7,000 mAh battery, a 6.3-inch flat OLED display, and a triple rear camera setup consisting of a 50 MP ultrawide lens and a 50 MP telephoto lens, possibly of the periscope variety.

FAQs

Q1. What are the major camera upgrades in the Xiaomi 16 and 16 Pro?

Answer. Both models will feature a new 50MP front-facing camera with autofocus, a wider field of view, and support for 4K/60FPS video, replacing the older 32MP sensor used since the Xiaomi 13 series.

Q2. How does the Xiaomi 16 Pro differ from the standard Xiaomi 16 in terms of camera hardware?

Answer. The Xiaomi 16 Pro is expected to include a 1/1.3-inch ultra-high dynamic range primary sensor, a periscope telephoto lens, and enhanced Leica imaging algorithms. The standard Xiaomi 16 may also have a 1/1.3-inch sensor but without ultra-high dynamic range.

Q3. When is the Xiaomi 16 Series expected to launch, and what other models might debut?

Answer. The Xiaomi 16 Series is rumoured to launch in the final week of September 2025, possibly alongside the first-ever Xiaomi 16 Pro Max and successors to the Xiaomi 15 and 15 Pro.

YouTube’s New AI System Will Start Estimating User Age

0

Highlights

  • YouTube is deploying an AI system in the US to estimate if users are under 18.
  • The system will detect user age based on watch history, search behaviour and account age, regardless of the birthdate entered.
  • If flagged as a minor, users get default protections like non-personalised ads, bedtime reminders, privacy alerts and restricted video recommendations.

YouTube is introducing its AI-based age estimation system across the US. First revealed last month, the tool uses artificial intelligence to predict if a user might be under 18, factoring in things like YouTube watch history, search patterns, and how long the account has existed. The system applies to every YouTube account, no matter what birthdate was entered at sign-up.

If the AI determines you’re likely a minor, you’ll see an alert letting you know. You can dispute the result by confirming your age with a government ID, a selfie, or even a credit card.

For accounts tagged as teen users, YouTube will automatically switch on safety-focused settings. These include the following –

  • Showing only ads that aren’t personalised
  • Enabling “take a break” prompts and bedtime reminders by default
  • Displaying privacy warnings before posting comments or uploading videos
  • Limiting recommendations for videos that could be harmful if watched repeatedly

The platform’s long-standing rule remains in place, which states that you must be at least 18 to watch videos marked as age-restricted.

Why YouTube’s Age Detection Facing Backlash?

While the aim is to protect younger viewers, critics say the AI could mislabel adults based on a handful of viewing habits.

“I let my cousins’ kids watch some of their shows when I’m babysitting them, and I don’t care to give my ID to YouTube, especially since I have had a Google account for like 20 odd years now,” one Reddit user complained.

Others worry about the privacy risks of uploading official IDs.

“With this rise of AI and increased demand for users’ personal information, I truly believe that the internet will be so fundamentally different in 5 years that parts of it will simply become broken,” another user wrote.

YouTube says ID verification is optional. Those who skip it will still be able to use the site, but with teen protections in place. Teen accounts can view most of YouTube’s content, except for age-restricted videos containing heavy violence or nudity.

YouTube also insists that a single type of content isn’t enough to flag someone as underage.

“Pokémon, Minecraft, Anime, and Roblox are for everyone! We understand that users on YouTube have a variety of interests. Our age estimation model does not look at one form of content in isolation to determine if an account is under the age of 18. The model assesses many different signals to reach this determination, including but not limited to YouTube activity and longevity across a user’s account. It is not focused on any specific genre or type of video,” the company explained.

FAQs

Q1.  What is YouTube’s new AI age estimation system and how does it work?

Answer. YouTube’s AI system predicts if a user is under 18 by analysing watch history, search patterns, and account age. It applies to all accounts, regardless of the birthdate entered.

Q2. What happens if YouTube’s AI flags my account as underage?

Answer. If flagged as a minor, you’ll receive an alert and can verify your age using a government ID, selfie, or credit card. Otherwise, teen safety settings will be applied automatically.

Q3. What safety features are enabled for accounts identified as teen users?

Answer. Teen accounts will see non-personalised ads, bedtime and break reminders, privacy warnings before posting, and limited recommendations for potentially harmful content.

If rumours hold any truth, it seems the Realme GT 8 Pro is shaping up to be more than just another flagship Android device. Both the smartphone of the series and the updated UI are believed to launch alongside the Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 platform. The release window is most likely targeting the end of October 2025.

In the meantime, early leaks suggest Realme is planning to pack enough battery power to make a low-power OLED display unnecessary. Strong hints from many tipsters also point toward class-leading audio performance as well.

Powered by Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, the device may also arrive with software tweaks inspired by the latest from Apple.

According to the reliable tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, Realme has equipped the GT 8 Pro with the “strongest dual speakers” available, potentially giving it the edge over rival flagships in sound quality. Interestingly, some speculate this move might have been influenced by competition from devices like the Redmi K80 Ultra.

On the software side, the GT 8 Pro is expected to debut with Realme UI 7, a skin based on the rumoured Android 16 release. One standout feature could be its ability to generate “custom dynamic wallpapers,” a cryptic detail that draws parallels to the Depth Pro wallpaper effect rumoured for iOS 26.

More details are expected to crop up as the launch timeline approaches.

FAQs

Q1. When is the Realme GT 8 Pro expected to launch?

Answer. The Realme GT 8 Pro is rumoured to launch by the end of October 2025, alongside Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset.

Q2. What audio features will the Realme GT 8 Pro offer?

Answer. According to leaks, the GT 8 Pro will feature the “strongest dual speakers” available, aiming to deliver class-leading sound quality among flagship smartphones.

Apple’s iPhone 17 family is getting closer to its big reveal, and this time, the colour lineup might steal the spotlight. Leaks suggest the series won’t just revisit fan-favourite shades from the past, it could also introduce some striking newcomers. Here’s everything we have been hearing about the upcoming colours so far.

iPhone 17 Colours

The standard iPhone 17 is expected to ship in five colour choices, which are Purple (with a possible pink hue), Green, Blue, Black, and White. Both Purple and Green or at least one of them are tipped to make a comeback, with Green rumoured to be richer and more saturated.

Blue has varied in tone across past generations, while Black and White remain dependable neutral staples. A Grey option has surfaced in rumours too, but it’s unclear if it will join this lineup, the Pro models, or skip the 2025 release entirely. Expect aluminium edges to frame the device, as in previous years.

iPhone 17 Air Colours

For the sleeker iPhone 17 Air, Apple could be leaning toward a softer, more elegant palette. We are expecting Light Blue, Light Gold, Black, and Silver.

Light Gold is expected to deliver a subtle metallic sheen, while Light Blue may recall the airy Sky Blue of older models. Black and Silver continue to offer timeless appeal. These finishes could be paired with titanium edges, similar to those on the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro.

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max Colours

image

The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will reportedly share four shades. These would be Orange, Dark Blue, Silver, and Black.

Orange is set to be the head-turner of the bunch, possibly the boldest hue Apple has ever put on a Pro device. Dark Blue adds a deep, sophisticated look, Silver gives a crisp metallic finish, and Black keeps things sharp and professional.

Grey is still undecided and it could appear on any model or not at all this year. One more change is that even if you pick the same colour as last year’s Pro, it may look different, as Apple is expected to switch from titanium to aluminium for the frame.

Apple is rumoured to announce the iPhone 17 series on September 9 with pre-orders likely starting September 12. Assuming all goes as per the plans, we will have more info leading up to that.

FAQs

Q1. What colour options are expected for the standard iPhone 17?

Answer. The iPhone 17 is rumoured to launch in Purple (possibly with a pink hue), Green, Blue, Black, and White. A Grey variant is also being considered but remains unconfirmed.

Answer. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max may come in Orange, Dark Blue, Silver, and Black. Orange is expected to be the standout shade, and the frame may switch to aluminium.

It appears Apple may be preparing to bring real-time in-person translation to its AirPods lineup. According to findings reported by 9to5Mac, the latest iOS 26 developer beta has the feature to hold real-world conversations across multiple languages with translations delivered directly into their ears.

This feature was previously limited to FaceTime, phone calls and Messages.  Here’s everything we know about this.

Developers spotted a new system asset in the beta showing a gesture that involves pressing both AirPods stems simultaneously. The asset is tied to the Translate app and includes multilingual text in English, Portuguese, French, and German, suggesting these languages may be supported at launch.

An accompanying image displays the word “Hello” in several languages, with the gesture likely activating a Live Translation mode. The file is even named “Translate,” reinforcing the link to this new capability.

The feature appears intended for AirPods Pro (2nd generation) and the upcoming AirPods 4, pointing to reliance on newer hardware for optimal performance.

The translation processing will not happen on the AirPods themselves. Instead, the function is expected to work in sync with Apple Intelligence on compatible iPhones. This means users will likely need a recent iPhone, possibly starting with the upcoming iPhone 17 series, to access it.

This isn’t really a surprise. Before iOS 26’s beta release, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that Apple was developing an in-person translation feature for AirPods, and these latest findings suggest it may be nearing launch.

Current Language Support

Currently, Apple’s Live Translation supports

  • Languages – Chinese (Simplified), English (UK/US), French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese (Brazil), Spanish (Spain)
  • Platforms – Messages, FaceTime, Phone (on Apple Intelligence-enabled devices)

Apple has not officially confirmed the feature. However, its inclusion in the iOS 26 beta suggests it could roll out alongside the public release of iOS 26 or possibly later this year.

Among the things we already know about the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup is that it is set to debut on September 9. Some reports have suggested that the iPhone 17 Air will replace the iPhone 16 Plus due to disappointing sales of the latter. Up until now, the new model’s ultra-thin profile has been at the centre of all discussions surrounding it. What we haven’t heard about is which chipset it will use. It seems recent reports are finally indulging in that.

iPhone 17 Air – Possible Chipset

According to prominent Chinese tipster Fixed Focus Digital, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to ship with the A19 Pro processor but with a reduced 5-core GPU configuration. In contrast, the iPhone 17 Pro models will reportedly get the full 6-core GPU version of the chip.

This claim was spotted by MacRumors and marks the second time in recent months that the leaker has shared details about the iPhone 17 Air.

MacRumors report, meanwhile, notes that the GPU downgrade could be the result of “binning”, where chips with minor manufacturing variances are repurposed, or a measure to control heat in the slimmer chassis. However, everyday performance differences are expected to be minimal for most users.

The new leak challenges an earlier prediction from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who said the iPhone 17 Air would use a standard A19 chip rather than the Pro version. Fixed Focus Digital also claims that the base iPhone 17 will be equipped with the regular A19 chip.

Previously, supply chain analyst Jeff Pu suggested that the entry-level model might use the A18 chip, but he has since revised his forecast to the A19.

When it comes to who to believe, we would recommend taking all the info with a grain of salt. As for tipster Fixed Focus Digital’s reputation, the account has over two million Weibo followers and has a history of accurate pre-launch leaks, including revealing the “iPhone 16e” branding for Apple’s upcoming iPhone SE replacement.
