A new end-of-year trend dubbed “Twitter Wrapped 2025” is gaining traction on X. Users are turning to Grok for personalised yearly summaries in the absence of an official wrap-up feature like Spotify Wrapped. These AI-generated recaps highlight commonly used words, recurring themes such as Ariana Grande, driving lessons, or viral moments, and notable posts from the year, though they appear to focus more heavily on recent activity.

Requests for these summaries have been pouring in from users across the globe with Spanish-language prompts leading the trend, followed by French, Portuguese, and other languages. The lighthearted responses from Grok have transformed the trend into a community-driven reflection on a year dominated by elections, major sporting events, and internet memes.

How Users are Generating Twitter Wrapped 2025 with Grok?

X users, both verified and non-verified, have reported success in generating their own “Twitter Wrapped” for 2025 by publicly tagging Grok. Posting the prompt “Generate my twitter wrapped for 2025 @grok” often triggers a reply from the AI chatbot, offering a personalised snapshot of the user’s activity on the platform over the year.

However, several users have noted inconsistent results when attempting to generate the same summary directly through the Grok bot interface. Requests such as “Generate my Twitter Wrapped for 2025” inside the bot reportedly return no output.

To try generating a Twitter Wrapped 2025, users can follow these steps:

  • Open X app
  • Create a new public post writing “Generate my Twitter Wrapped for 2025 @grok”
  • Publish the post.

Grok may respond with a customised wrapped summary. Based on current replies we can see, the response may include details like top posting themes, engagement peaks, total post count and other behavioural insights.

Feature Remains Unofficial

It is worth noting that X has not officially announced a “Twitter Wrapped” feature. This means the availability and accuracy may vary. The feature does not seem to work reliably through the Grok bot interface.

ToI Tech Desk, its report, revealed that their team had attempted to generate a Twitter Wrapped 2025 using the Grok bot but did not receive a standard wrap-up.

FAQs

Q1. What is Twitter Wrapped 2025?

Answer. It’s an unofficial end‑of‑year trend on X where users tag Grok to generate AI‑powered yearly recaps of their activity, similar to Spotify Wrapped.

Q2. How can users generate their own Twitter Wrapped 2025?

Answer. By posting publicly on X with the prompt “Generate my Twitter Wrapped for 2025 @grok”, which often triggers Grok to reply with a personalised summary including top themes, engagement peaks, and post counts.

Q3. Is Twitter Wrapped 2025 an official feature of X?

Answer. No. X has not officially announced a Wrapped feature. Grok’s responses are community‑driven and may vary, with inconsistent results reported when using the bot interface directly.

It has already been confirmed that the OnePlus 15R will debut in India on December 17, alongside the OnePlus Pad Go 2. Ahead of the official announcement, fresh leaks are shedding light on its pricing and key specifications. Slotted below the flagship OnePlus 15, the new 15R model is expected to continue OnePlus’ strategy of offering near-flagship performance at a relatively lower price.

However, the latest leak suggests that the OnePlus 15R may arrive at a higher price point than many had anticipated.

OnePlus 15R – Expected Price in India

According to tipster Paras Guglani @passionategeekz on X, the OnePlus 15R could be priced between Rs 47,000 and Rs 49,000 for the 12GB RAM + 256GB storage variant. The top-end 12GB + 512GB model is said to cross Rs 52,000. With bank offers, buyers may get an additional discount of around Rs 3,000–Rs 4,000, potentially bringing the effective starting price close to Rs 44,000 for eligible card users.

The OnePlus Ace 6T, the China-exclusive model on which the 15R is reportedly based, starts at roughly Rs 33,000 in China. While taxes and market positioning increase the Indian pricing, the 15R is still expected to undercut the OnePlus 15, which starts at Rs 72,999.

OnePlus 15R – What to Expect?

The OnePlus 15R is confirmed to be powered by Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 chipset, placing it firmly in the flagship performance category. Benchmark listings also suggest a 12GB RAM configuration. OnePlus has already teased a 165Hz refresh rate, matching the display refresh rate of the flagship OnePlus 15. If it mirrors the Ace 6T, the phone could feature a 1.5K AMOLED display with high peak brightness and improved eye-comfort optimisations.

Design-wise, the OnePlus 15R is confirmed to launch in Charcoal Black and Minty Green colour options. It is said to feature a square camera module, flat-edge frame, and impressive IP66–IP69K dust and water resistance ratings, making it one of the most rugged smartphones in OnePlus’ current lineup.

On the camera front, the device is expected to feature a 50MP primary sensor alongside an 8MP ultra-wide camera, while the front could house a 16MP selfie shooter. There is also speculation around support for 4K video recording at up to 120fps.

Battery capacity is expected to be one of the biggest highlights. The OnePlus 15R is tipped to pack a massive 7,400mAh battery, making it the largest battery ever seen on a OnePlus smartphone. While charging details are yet to be officially confirmed, the Ace 6T supports 100W fast charging and similar speeds are anticipated.

FAQs

Q1. When will the OnePlus 15R launch in India?

Answer. The OnePlus 15R is confirmed to debut in India on December 17, 2025.

Q2. What is the expected price of the OnePlus 15R in India?

Answer. Leaks suggest the 12GB + 256GB variant will cost between ₹47,000–₹49,000, while the 12GB + 512GB model may cross ₹52,000. With bank offers, the effective starting price could drop to around ₹44,000.

Q3. What are the key specifications and highlights of the OnePlus 15R?

Answer. Powered by Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 with 12GB RAM, the phone features a 165Hz 1.5K AMOLED display, rugged IP66–IP69K ratings, a 50MP + 8MP dual rear camera with 4K 120fps support, and a massive 7,400mAh battery with expected 100W fast charging.

Vivo is gearing up to unveil the Vivo S50 and Vivo S50 Pro Mini in China on December 15. While the company has already shared key details of the Pro Mini variant, the standard Vivo S50 has remained largely under wraps. But that changes now. A new listing on China Telecom has revealed the full specifications of the upcoming smartphone, just days before its official debut. Meanwhile, we also have a new update on the upcoming Vivo V70 Series. Here’s what we know.

Vivo S50 – Full Specifications (Revealed)

According to the China Telecom database via Gizmochina, the Vivo S50 will feature a 6.59-inch OLED display offering a 1.5K resolution (2750 × 1260 pixels) along with a likely 120Hz refresh rate. The handset will also include an in-display fingerprint sensor.

On the back, the device sports a triple-camera setup comprising a 50MP primary lens, an 8MP secondary camera and a 50MP periscope telephoto lens powered by the Sony IMX882 sensor. For selfies, the phone will come equipped with a 50MP front camera.

Powering the smartphone is the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3 chipset, paired with LPDDR5x RAM and UFS 4.1 storage. The listing confirms three variants – 12GB + 256GB, 12GB + 512GB, and 16GB + 512GB.

The Vivo S50 packs a 6,500mAh battery with 90W fast charging, as confirmed via its 3C certification. The smartphone is expected to run Android 16 with OriginOS 6 on top.

In terms of build quality, Vivo has revealed that the S50 features an aerospace-grade aluminium frame. It may also offer IP68/69 dust and water resistance and will be available in Space Black, Confession White, Inspirational Purple, and Serene Blue colour options.

Vivo V70 Series – No 4G Models, New V70 Elite and V70 FE Variants Incoming

Vivo is also preparing its V70 series, expected to launch in early 2026. Until now, only the V70 and V70 Lite were spotted on certification sites. However, a new leak adds two more models to the lineup, Vivo V70 Elite and Vivo V70 FE.

Tipster Paras Guglani @passionategeekz on X claims the 2026 series will not feature any Pro or Pro+ models, similar to the previous generation. Surprisingly, the lineup will also skip a V70e model, despite the V60 series offering multiple versions such as the V60 Lite 4G, V60 Lite 5G, and V60e.

Another major change is that every V70 model will support 5G connectivity, whereas Vivo previously released Lite variants with both 4G and 5G options depending on the market.

According to the leak –

  • Vivo V70 is likely to launch in India.
  • V70 Lite and V70 Elite may be released globally.
  • V70 FE might also arrive in India, though this remains uncertain.

  • 5K 120Hz display
  • 50MP triple-camera setup with a 3x optical zoom telephoto lens
  • 50MP front camera
  • 6,500mAh battery

Apple’s long-awaited upgrade to Siri appears closer to launch. While the company has not yet confirmed a rollout window, a newly leaked iOS 26 build reportedly reveals when the Apple Intelligence–powered Siri could finally debut. The timeline aligns with earlier reports hinting at a Spring 2026 release. We also have an update about a new Apple AirTag.

Revamped Siri Could Arrive With iOS 26.4

According to Macworld, internal code found in a leaked iOS 26 build indicates Apple may launch its new AI-enhanced Siri in Spring 2026. This matches previous predictions that the upgraded assistant would arrive between March and April next year.

The report suggests that Apple could introduce the new Siri with the iOS 26.4 update, which also appears set for a spring release. If accurate, compatible iPhones may begin receiving the update in March, April, or May 2026. However, as Apple has not officially confirmed any details, the timeline should be viewed cautiously.

The upgraded Siri is expected to offer contextual responses based on past conversations, deliver more natural interactions, and support AI-driven reminders, making the assistant significantly more intelligent and conversational.

New Siri Coming to HomePod as Well

The report also states that the AI-powered Siri won’t be limited to iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. Apple reportedly plans to extend the upgraded assistant to its smart home ecosystem, starting with a new HomePod. The enhanced Siri will support “natural conversations” and more advanced contextual capabilities across devices.

This aligns with earlier reporting from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, who also predicted a March–April launch window and suggested that Apple may leverage an unspecified Gemini AI model to power natural language understanding and improved web search.

Next-Gen AirTag Planned for 2026

Alongside Siri, Apple is also preparing an upgraded Apple AirTag, which was initially expected to launch in 2025 but has now been delayed to the first half of 2026.

The new AirTag is expected to offer –

  • A streamlined pairing process
  • Enhanced Precision Finding
  • More detailed battery level reporting
  • New and Improved Moving feature for precise real-time location tracking
  • Better tracking accuracy in crowded environments

It remains unclear whether any of these features will roll out to the original AirTag through software updates. Some capabilities such as improved Precision Finding may require a newer UWB chip, making them exclusive to the next-generation device.

FAQs

Q1. When is Apple’s revamped Siri expected to launch?

Answer. A leaked iOS 26 build suggests the AI-powered Siri could debut with the iOS 26.4 update in Spring 2026, likely between March and May.

Q2. What improvements will the new Siri bring?

Answer. The upgraded Siri is expected to deliver contextual responses, more natural interactions, and AI-driven reminders, making it smarter and more conversational across devices.

Q3. What features are planned for the next-generation AirTag?

Answer. The 2026 AirTag may include streamlined pairing, enhanced Precision Finding, detailed battery reporting, an improved Moving feature, and better tracking in crowded environments.

OpenAI Unveils GPT-5.2 Amid Rumours of Internal ‘Code Red’, Promises To Be ‘Most Capable Model Series Yet’

OpenAI has officially introduced GPT-5.2, describing it as the most powerful model series yet for professional and enterprise-grade tasks on ChatGPT. The launch comes at a strategically important moment, following reports that the company accelerated the rollout in response to Google’s latest Gemini advancements. According to insiders, Google’s progress triggered an internal “code red,” prompting OpenAI to fast-track the release earlier than initially planned.

Announcing the new model via an X post, the company wrote, GPT-5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro are rolling out today, starting with Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans. Free and Go users will get access tomorrow. GPT-5.2 is also now in the API and Codex.”

GPT-5.2 marks a more capability-driven upgrade compared to GPT-5.1, which debuted in mid-November with an emphasis on more natural, human-like interaction. This time, OpenAI is doubling down on performance. The new model reportedly delivers significant gains in economic productivity workflows including creating complex spreadsheets, building presentations, writing production-ready code, interpreting images, using tools more effectively and managing long, multi-step tasks from beginning to end.

OpenAI says GPT-5.2 sets new industry benchmarks, particularly on evaluation tests such as GDPval, where the model is claimed to surpass human professionals across 44 occupations. The improvements stem from enhancements in general intelligence, long-context understanding, agent-like task execution and advanced vision capabilities.

With these upgrades, OpenAI asserts that GPT-5.2 can handle real-world workloads with greater accuracy and reliability than any previous ChatGPT model.

ChatGPT 5.2 Development

The rapid pace of development is striking. GPT-5 arrived on August 7, introducing a new routing system that dynamically shifted between sub-models for faster or deeper responses. That was followed in November by GPT-5.1, which brought a more thoughtful and intelligent behaviour profile.

Now, just weeks later, GPT-5.2 is rolling out. This highlights both the speed of innovation in the AI industry and OpenAI’s determination to maintain its competitive edge.

For users, GPT-5.2 is expected to feel more precise, more powerful and more stable, especially when dealing with long documents, complex reasoning tasks and high-pressure professional workflows. And with Google pushing aggressively with its Gemini lineup, this rapid-fire upgrade cycle is almost certainly just beginning.

FAQs

Q1. What is GPT‑5.2 and why did OpenAI release it now?

Answer. GPT‑5.2 is OpenAI’s most capable model series yet, designed for professional and enterprise tasks. Reports suggest its rollout was accelerated after Google’s Gemini progress triggered an internal “code red.”

Q2. What improvements does GPT‑5.2 bring compared to GPT‑5.1?

Answer. Unlike GPT‑5.1’s focus on natural interaction, GPT‑5.2 emphasises performance, handling complex spreadsheets, presentations, production‑ready code, image interpretation, tool use, and long multi‑step tasks with greater accuracy.

Q3. How is GPT‑5.2 being made available to users?

Answer. GPT‑5.2 Instant, Thinking, and Pro are rolling out to Plus, Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans first with Free and Go users gaining access the following day. It is also available via API and Codex.
