The streaming platform JioHotstar under the Reliance-Disney joint venture (JioStar) has teamed up with market research giant Nielsen to track and analyse digital viewership of the Indian Premier League (IPL). This is a major move as it’s the first time a third-party agency will provide independent digital audience data for IPL, similar to how the Broadcast Audience Research Council of India (BARC) tracks television viewership.

The President (Commercial) of Asia at Nielsen Arnaud Frade said, “With over 100 years of expertise in audience measurement, Nielsen is committed to supporting the evolving needs of advertisers with data-driven insights.”

The collaboration will begin with the 2025 IPL season and will later expand to other digital properties on JioHotstar. This initiative is expected to continue for a long period since JioStar holds IPL media rights until 2027.

Advertisers until now had to rely on either OTT platform-provided data or their own internal analysis for digital viewership metrics. This partnership aims to fill the gap and offer advertisers transparent and also third-party verified insights into IPL’s digital audience.

To track and analyse viewership, Nielsen will use tools like Nielsen ONE Ads (its Digital Ad Ratings (DAR) system) and newly developed volumetric and reach analysis. Advertisers will be able to access data through the Nielsen One dashboard, which will provide insights into:

  • Impressions
  • Clicks
  • Campaign reach
  • On-target reach

“This partnership will redefine how advertising on digital/OTT is measured and delivered across India’s most iconic entertainment and sports properties,” said Ishan Chatterjee, Chief Business Officer of Sports Revenue SMB & Creator JioStar.

Ahead of IPL 2025, JioStar merged its two streaming platforms Disney+ Hotstar and JioCinema into one, JioHotstar. Existing subscribers of both platforms can now seamlessly transition with new affordable tariff plans being introduced to boost viewership.

IPL is one of the biggest sports and entertainment events in India. In 2024, IPL’s TV broadcast on Star Sports reached over 550 million viewers, while its digital reach on JioCinema was estimated to be 550–600 million.

iPhone SE 4 Launching Soon, Likely With 64GB Storage In Base Variant

Highlights

  • Apple is launching the iPhone SE 4 next week with a base model priced at $499.
  • A new leak suggests the phone will have a 64GB storage option, similar to the 2022 model.
  • Leaked features – a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED display, removal of the physical Touch ID button and the Apple A18 chipset.
  • Expected features – USB-C charging and single 48MP rear sensor.

Apple is gearing up to launch the fourth-generation iPhone SE next week, likely called the iPhone SE 4 or iPhone SE (2025). The base model is expected to be priced at $499 to be the most affordable iPhone. However, to achieve that price point, Apple seems to have made some compromises.

A leaked listing from a Chinese retailer reveals key specifications including a base storage option of just 64GB. This leak quickly went viral raising concerns amongst Apple fans about whether that’s enough in 2025. Here’s what we know.

Upcoming iPhone SE – Recent Leak

A Chinese retailer’s listing has given us a first look at what to expect. The most surprising detail is the base storage as Apple is reportedly sticking with just 64GB, the same as the 2022 model. The 64GB storage was considered limiting even in 2022 and now in 2025, it seems even more outdated.

Moreover, we all know that the actual usable storage will be much lower. Apple states that iOS 18 and system apps take up nearly 17GB, while Apple Intelligence features require another 7 GB. That means users will be left with roughly 40GB for apps, photos and other data.

If Apple maintains the same pricing strategy as before, the 128GB variant could cost $599, while the 256GB model might go up to $699.

Another big change is the removal of the physical Touch ID button, making way for a full-screen design. This marks the first time an entry-level iPhone will ditch the traditional home button.

The leaked listing also suggests that the iPhone SE 4 will feature a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED display with a 60Hz refresh rate. That’s a major jump from the 4.7-inch IPS LCD screen on the iPhone SE (2022).

Upcoming iPhone SE – Expected Specs

Previous leaks suggest the iPhone SE 4 will be powered by the Apple A18 chipset, the same processor expected in the iPhone 16. This would give it a significant performance boost over its predecessor.

Apple is also expected to switch to USB-C charging, finally retiring the Lightning port. This change was inevitable, especially with the EU’s USB-C mandate now in effect.

As for cameras, the phone may feature a single 48MP rear sensor, which is a big leap from the previous 12MP camera.

The official confirmation will come on February 19, so we’ll have to wait and see if Apple sticks with this storage limitation or introduces better options.

FAQs

Q1. When is the iPhone SE 4 expected to launch and at what price?

Answer. Apple is gearing up to launch the fourth-generation iPhone SE next week, with the base model likely priced at $499.

Q2. What storage options will be available for the iPhone SE 4?

Answer. The base storage option for the iPhone SE 4 is expected to be 64GB, the same as the 2022 model.

Q3. What are some of the key upgrades in the iPhone SE 4 compared to its predecessor?

Answer. The iPhone SE 4 will feature a 6.06-inch LTPS OLED display, removal of the physical Touch ID button, and will be powered by the Apple A18 chipset. Additionally, the phone is expected to switch to USB-C charging and may feature a single 48MP rear sensor.

Apple Might Bring Ads to Apple Maps and Refresh Studio Display by 2026, Gurman Reports

Highlights

  • Apple is considering adding search ads to its Maps app similar to those in its News and Stocks apps.
  • Apple is working on an updated version of its Studio Display that is expected to arrive by 2026.
  • This new display will likely use mini-LED technology and serve as a companion to the upcoming M5 MacBook Pros.
  • The Pro Display XDR is less of a priority for Apple and a second-generation version is not expected soon.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is no stranger to anyone who keeps up with Apple news. The man has been a trusted source of Apple news and updates for years now. Like a tradition, his recent Power On newsletter again sheds light on some of the key aspects of Apple’s future plans. Here’s a quick look at some of the updates Gurman recently shared.

Apple Considering Search Ads in Maps

Apple is once again looking into adding search ads to its Apple Maps app, according to Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter. The company already runs similar ads in its News and Stocks apps, and this move could help grow Apple’s advertising business.

This isn’t the first time Apple has explored the idea. A couple of years ago, the company considered letting businesses pay for better search rankings in Maps and now, the discussion is back. Gurman writes, “A few years ago, Apple employees explored integrating search ads into its Maps apps. It would work similarly to Google Maps, where a business could pay Apple to have their restaurant or venue appear higher in search results.”

In a recent internal meeting, Apple reportedly revisited the idea of monetising Maps, specifically through search ads. Gurman also suggests that certain locations could be highlighted more prominently on the map.

There’s no timeline for when or if this monetising will happen. Apple hasn’t started engineering work on it yet, but the company is clearly thinking about how to make it a reality.

New Studio Display Expected by 2026

Gurman further reveals that Apple is also working on a refresh for its Studio Display, which first launched in 2022. The updated version will likely arrive by 2026 and could serve as a companion to the upcoming M5 MacBook Pros.

Last week, display supply chain expert Ross Young reported that Apple is developing a new Studio Display with mini-LED technology.

Gurman’s report backs this claim but doesn’t reveal many details about the upgrades. Gurman reports, “I’m told that Apple is currently testing prototypes of a display — code-named J427 — that should arrive by 2026. It will be a successor to the current Studio Display, rather than the Pro Display XDR, and features a design that’s similar to the 2022 model.”

Interestingly, Gurman also sheds light on Apple’s higher-end Pro Display XDR. Despite launching in 2019, Apple has largely ignored it, leaving it without key features like a webcam, built-in speakers, or an affordable stand, features that the cheaper Studio Display offers.

However, it doesn’t look like a second-generation Pro Display XDR is on Apple’s radar. Gurman reports that a new version is “less of a priority for Apple.” That said, Apple is still focused on the pro market, with new Mac Pro and Mac Studio models reportedly in the works.

FAQs

Q1. Is Apple planning to add ads to its Maps app?

Answer. Yes, Apple is considering adding search ads to its Maps app to help grow its advertising business. This idea was previously explored a few years ago and is being revisited.

Q2. When is the new version of Apple’s Studio Display expected to be released?

Answer. The updated version of Apple’s Studio Display is expected to arrive by 2026 and will likely use mini-LED technology.

Q3. Will there be a new version of the Apple Pro Display XDR?

Answer. A second-generation Pro Display XDR is not expected soon and is less of a priority for Apple. However, Apple remains focused on the pro market with new Mac Pro and Mac Studio models in development.

Q4. What kind of ads might Apple introduce in its Maps app?

Answer, Apple is considering search ads in its Maps app, where businesses could pay to appear higher in search results, similar to how ads work in Google Maps.

Highlights

  • Google Contact’s new update allows users to customise contact profile photos with monograms or emojis.
  • New features include assigning monograms, setting emojis as contact photos and using the Inspire Me button for automatic combinations.
  • The feature is rolling out in phases, which means all users don’t have access to it yet.

Google is giving users more ways to personalise contact photos in Google Contacts. You can now assign monograms or emojis to contact profile pictures, adding a bit of fun and customisation to your address book. Here’s what we know.

With the latest update to Google Contacts (version 4.48.27.720364420), users can now do the following –

  • Assign a monogram (one or two letter initials) with customisable fonts and background colours.
  • Set an emoji as a contact photo, choosing from a wide range of options.
  • Use the Inspire Me button that automatically generates different font, emoji and background colour combinations.
  • Enable a monochrome mode for a more minimalist look.

These customisations aren’t limited to Google Contacts as they’ll also appear in Google Messages when interacting with that contact.

The feature was first spotted by Android Authority, and while it’s live for some users, not everyone on the latest build has access yet. Google is likely rolling it out in phases.

In the report, Android Authority Editor Hadlee Simons wrote, “Android Authority contributor AssembleDebug spotted the option to set emojis or monograms as contact pictures in the Google Contacts app (version 4.48.27.720364420). I’m not seeing this on my own phone just yet, so this might be a gradual release at first.”

Previously in 2024, Google automatically replaced user-selected contact photos in Google Messages with the contact’s Google account avatar. However, this move wasn’t welcomed by many users. Later in January 2025, Google finally let users switch back to their original contact photos before introducing the current update offering new customisation options.

FAQs

Q1. What new customisation options does Google Contacts offer?

Answer. Users can now assign monograms with customizable fonts and background colours, set emojis as contact photos, and use the ‘Inspire Me’ button for automatic combinations. There is also a monochrome mode for a minimalist look.

Q2. Will these customisations in Google Contacts appear elsewhere?

Answer. Yes, these customisations will also appear in Google Messages when interacting with that contact.

Q3. Is the new feature available to all users?

Answer. The feature is currently live for some users, but not everyone on the latest build has access yet as Google is likely rolling it out in phases.

Instagram Tests a Dislike Button Only for Comments

Highlights

  • Instagram is testing a dislike button specifically for comments on both Feed posts and Reels.
  • It won’t show dislike counts publicly but will help rank comments.
  • The feature aims to improve comment quality by allowing users to downvote irrelevant or distasteful comments.
  • It’s currently available to a limited group of users.

It appears we are not down with the dislike buttons even after several platforms tried and failed to implement it successfully. Instagram is now experimenting with a new dislike button, although the catch is that it’s not for posts or Reels but it’s just for the comments.

The platform says this feature will help users downvote irrelevant or distasteful comments, making conversations more positive.

How Dislike Button for Instagram Comments Will Work?

The dislike button is currently being tested on both Feed posts and Reels. However, Instagram won’t show dislike counts publicly. Instead, as Instagram head Adam Mosseri explained on Threads, dislikes will help rank comments, similar to Reddit’s downvote system.

“This gives people a private way to signal that they don’t feel good about that particular comment. […] Our hope is that this might help make comments more friendly on Instagram,” Mosseri wrote.

A Meta spokesperson echoed this telling TechCrunch that the main goal of the feature is to improve comment quality. As of now, it’s just a small test available to a limited group of users, but Instagram could expand it in the future.

“We’re working on ways to help people better control their Instagram experience and what they’re seeing on the app,” a company spokesperson said. “We’re testing a new button next to each comment on a Reel or Feed post for people to privately signal they don’t feel good about that particular comment or find it relevant. We’re testing this with a very small group of people to start. Later, we may also test moving these comments lower down in the comments section to help create a better experience,” they added.

Instagram has been making a lot of updates lately as the platform is working on a video-editing app that looks very similar to TikTok’s editing tool CapCut. It also extended Reels to three minutes, another move that seems inspired by TikTok.

In another big change, Instagram recently removed third-party fact-checkers, though the company didn’t provide a clear reason beyond citing concerns about freedom.

FAQs

Q1. What is Instagram testing with the new dislike button?

Answer. Instagram is testing a dislike button specifically for comments on both Feed posts and Reels. The dislike counts won’t be shown publicly but will help rank comments similar to Reddit’s downvote system.

Q2. What is the purpose of the dislike button for Instagram comments?

Answer. The feature aims to improve comment quality by allowing users to downvote irrelevant or distasteful comments, making conversations more positive.

Q3. What new updates have Instagram made recently?

Answer. Instagram is developing a video-editing app similar to TikTok’s CapCut, extending Reels to three minutes, and has recently removed third-party fact-checkers citing concerns about freedom.

Galaxy S25 Ultra – Outdoor Readability

According to DXOMARK, the S25 Ultra excels in outdoor readability, thanks to its 2,600-nit peak brightness and anti-reflective coating. The phone remains easy to read even in bright sunlight.

However, it can appear a bit too bright in dim lighting.

Galaxy S25 Ultra – Colour Accuracy

The S25 Ultra improves on colour fidelity showing better accuracy in Faithful Mode than the S24 Ultra. It also reduces colour shifts at different angles. However, despite optimised blue-light management, higher emissions in night mode prevented it from receiving DXOMARK’s Eye Comfort label.

Galaxy S25 Ultra – Video Performance

Samsung has enhanced video playback, particularly in low-light conditions, where the S24 Ultra had struggles. The S25 Ultra’s HDR peak luminance in low light is now 24 nits, ensuring a comfortable and well-balanced viewing experience. The phone also maintains smooth local contrasts in dim environments and indoors.

Moreover, no frame drops were detected in playback tests.

Galaxy S25 Ultra – Touch Interaction

Touch response is smooth for web browsing and gallery navigation. However, occasional accidental touches and slightly slower responsiveness compared to some ultra-premium rivals were noted.

Samsung’s Upcoming Tri-Fold Phone

At the Galaxy S25 event, Samsung confirmed that it is working on a tri-fold phone set to launch in Q3 2025 alongside the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7. Analyst Ross Young reports that the device will feature a 6.49-inch cover display and a 10-inch unfolded screen similar to the Z Fold 7’s cover display size.

During his visit to the U.S., Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Tesla and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk in Washington. Musk was joined by his girlfriend Shivon Zilis and their three children, Lil X, Azure and Strider.

After their meeting at the Blair House, PM Modi gifted Musk’s children three books including The Crescent Moon by Rabindranath Tagore, The Great RK Narayan Collection and Panchatantra by Pandit Vishnu Sharma.

Photos shared by PM Modi on X (formerly Twitter) showed Musk’s children reading the books. Modi wrote, “It was also a delight to meet Mr. @elonmusk’s family and to talk about a wide range of subjects!”

PM Modi & Elon Musk Discuss Key Global Topics

PM Modi shared another post saying, “Had a very good meeting with @elonmusk in Washington DC. We discussed various issues, including those he is passionate about such as space, mobility, technology, and innovation. I talked about India’s efforts towards reform and furthering ‘Minimum Government, Maximum Governance.”

The meeting was attended by Indian External Affairs Minister Dr. S Jaishankar and National Security Advisor Ajit Doval. According to a statement from India’s Ministry of External Affairs, the discussion focused on strengthening India-U.S. collaboration in innovation, artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainable development, as reported by PTI.

This meeting holds extra significance as it comes just weeks after Musk’s appointment by former U.S. President Donald Trump to lead the U.S. Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).

Elon Musk’s mother Maye Musk also expressed her excitement about the meeting.

Elon Musk’s Gift to PM Modi

During their interaction, Musk gifted PM Modi a heat shield tile that flew on SpaceX’s Starship Flight Test 5 on October 12, 2024. The tile had an engraving that read, “Starship flight test 5, October 12, 2024.”

For those unfamiliar, Starship’s heat shield tiles are hexagonal ceramic tiles designed to protect the spacecraft during reentry when it faces extreme temperatures. These tiles are made of silica-based ceramic, similar to those used on NASA’s Space Shuttle.

Elon Musk himself responded to PM Modi’s post, writing, “It was an honor to meet.”

A statement from the foreign ministry confirmed that PM Modi and Musk discussed expanding India-U.S. cooperation in space exploration, AI, sustainable development, entrepreneurship and governance.
