The Hole‑Pattern Magnetic Case lets users attach decorative plugs to create patterns or pixel‑style artwork.
Strong magnets enable compatibility with OnePlus Mag add‑ons, Oppo Mag accessories, and third‑party magnetic products like iPhone car mounts.
The Ace 6T lacks wireless charging, so magnetic chargers won’t power the device.

OnePlus has officially revealed that the OnePlus Ace 6T will receive the unique Hole-Pattern Magnetic Case. It is the same accessory that gained attention with the OnePlus 13s and later arrived for the OnePlus 15 series as well. Here’s a quick roundup of everything we know from the recent OnePlus teasers about the upcoming Ace 6T model.

OnePlus’ official Weibo account recently released a couple of teasers for the upcoming OnePlus Ace 6T. The teasers reveal Hole-Pattern Magnetic Case, OnePlus Mag add-ons and Oppo Mag accessories.
The Hole-Pattern Magnetic case became unexpectedly popular among OnePlus users due to its playful, customisable aesthetic. The back of the case features a grid of tiny circular cutouts where users can attach cube-shaped decorative plugs, allowing them to design patterns, shapes, or even pixel-style artwork.
The accessory blends protection with a fidget-toy-like experience, which contributed to its rising popularity. Beyond customisation, the case integrates strong magnets that allow the phone to connect with a variety of magnetic accessories.
According to OnePlus, the Ace 6T version will support both OnePlus Mag add-ons and Oppo Mag accessories. It is also expected to be compatible with many third-party magnetic products widely used with iPhones including popular car mounts.

In a teaser shared on Weibo, OnePlus showcased the Ace 6T version in a familiar light grey finish, similar to earlier models. However, users will be hoping for additional colour options, since the accessory’s appeal heavily revolves around personal expression.
There is one limitation. The OnePlus Ace 6T does not feature wireless charging. This means magnetic chargers and battery packs will physically attach but will not be able to charge the device.
Since the OnePlus Ace 6T and OnePlus 15R are essentially the same device with different regional names, it is highly likely that this magnetic case will also be released for OnePlus 15R users.
The company is yet to reveal pricing. For reference, the Hole-Pattern Magnetic Case for the OnePlus 15 currently retails for about $25 (Rs. 699 in India), so the upcoming version should be priced similarly.

Upcoming Samsung Galaxy S26 VS Predecessor Galaxy S25: What’s New?
Galaxy S26 VS Galaxy S25 feature comparison. (Shared by @UniverseIce on X)
According to the comparison tables shared by tipster, the Galaxy S26 will reportedly feature a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, up from the 6.2-inch screen on the Galaxy S25. It is expected to maintain the same full-HD+ resolution, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 1Hz–120Hz dynamic refresh rate.
Depending on the market, the phone may ship with either the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Samsung’s in-house Exynos 2600 chipset. In contrast, the Galaxy S25 used the Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor globally.
Samsung is expected to offer the Galaxy S26 with 12GB RAM and will reportedly drop the 128GB base variant, offering only 256GB and 512GB storage options. The camera setup is likely unchanged, a 50MP main sensor, 12MP ultrawide lens, and a 10MP telephoto camera with 3x optical zoom. The front-facing camera is expected to remain a 12MP shooter.
Battery capacity is tipped to increase from 4,000mAh to 4,300mAh, while charging support remains at 25W. The Galaxy S26 may also be slightly thinner at 6.9mm and weigh 164g, compared with the Galaxy S25’s 7.2mm thickness and 162g weight.

According to the leak, the Galaxy S26+ retains most features of the S25+, including a 6.7-inch QHD display with 2,600 nits brightness and up to 120Hz adaptive refresh rate. Storage options also remain unchanged at 256GB and 512GB, paired with 12GB RAM.
The triple rear camera setup featuring 50MP main, 12MP ultrawide, and 10MP telephoto with 3x optical zoom appears to be identical to the current-generation model. The selfie camera stays at 12MP.
Under the hood, the S26+ is rumoured to use either the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or the Exynos 2600, depending on region. The battery could get a slight bump to 4,900mAh with 45W fast charging. The S26+ may weigh 190g, making it lighter than the 194g Galaxy S25+, while keeping the same 7.3mm thickness.

One UI 8.5 to Bring Now Nudges, 3D Wallpaper Effects and New Photo Tools (Leaked)
A major part of the leaks points to new One UI 8.5 features expected to debut exclusively with the Galaxy S26 series. The details of the leak were shared on X by user That Josh Guy @thatjoshguy69, citing leaker DaManMikey @DaRealManMikey.

One of the standout additions is Now Nudges, a contextual information panel that displays timely updates on the lock screen, similar to Google’s At a Glance widget. Early previews show greetings, weather updates, and other real-time details. Hidden settings indicate more advanced capabilities such as recalling important info, autofilling forms, and generating quick actions based on on-screen content.
Another new feature is Wallpaper Live Effects, which introduces a 3D parallax effect directly within the lock screen editor. While a similar option exists in Samsung Gallery, this is the first time it appears integrated into Wallpaper and Style settings.
Samsung is also said to be working on a Creative Studio tool inside Wallpaper and Style. This feature will allow users to generate custom wallpapers using AI-assisted drawing tools, complementing the existing AI wallpaper generator.
– Screenshots of One UI 8.5 edit feature for Galaxy S26 series. (Image credit – @thatjoshguy69/@DaRealManMikey on X)
A new Type to Edit feature may debut inside Samsung Gallery, allowing users to type commands to perform photo edits instead of manually circling objects. This tool is reportedly restricted to the Galaxy S26 lineup.
All these features were activated only on devices running the internal 20261 AI build of One UI, which is not available on any current Galaxy model. This strongly suggests Samsung is reserving them for the upcoming S26 series.

One UI 8.5 is expected to debut alongside the Galaxy S26 lineup in February 2026. Samsung is likely to roll out a public beta shortly after, beginning with Galaxy S25 users.

A new leak suggests that ChatGPT could soon tap into Apple Health data. This will potentially offer users more personalised responses to their health and fitness questions. With AI chatbots increasingly becoming a preferred source for wellness guidance, this integration could mark a major step forward for both platforms. Here’s what we know so far.
ChatGPT for iPhone Could Add Apple Health Support
Hidden image found in ChatGPT iPhone App’s code with Apple Health icon. (Image credit – @aaronp613 on X)
In a new report, MacRumors reveals that the latest version of the ChatGPT iPhone app includes a hidden image of the Apple Health icon within its code. The file name associated with this image indicates that users may eventually be able to link their Apple Health data directly to ChatGPT.
This would allow the AI to generate more tailored health, activity, sleep, diet, breathing, and hearing insights.
The leaked image was discovered by MacRumors’ Analyst Aaron Perris, who shared the details on their X account @aaronp613. Although, there’s still no confirmation that the feature will officially roll out. Even so, its presence in the app’s internal files strongly hints that Apple Health integration may be close to launching.
I found an image in the latest version of ChatGPT for iOS that suggest OpenAI is working on Apple Health Integration!
Currently, ChatGPT’s “Apps & connectors” section includes only a handful of health-related integrations with Peloton being one of the few. But with the new year approaching as a time when many people set fitness resolutions, it seems likely that OpenAI could expand its health-focused partnerships soon.
ChatGPT already supports connections with a wide range of apps including Box, Dropbox, GitHub, Google Drive, Gmail, Microsoft Outlook, Notion, Slack, and more. If Apple Health joins the list, ChatGPT could become an even powerful tool for users looking to track and improve their well-being.
FAQs
Q1. What new feature was discovered in the ChatGPT iPhone app?
Answer. A hidden Apple Health icon was found in the app’s code, hinting at possible integration with Apple Health data.
Q2. How could Apple Health support improve ChatGPT’s responses?

iPhone 17e will replace the wide notch with Apple’s Dynamic Island, feature a 6.1‑inch OLED panel, but stick to a 60Hz refresh rate
It is expected to gain the flagship 18MP front camera for improved selfies and ship with the A19 chip.
The model is likely to debut in Q1 2026 (Feb–Mar) as part of Apple’s affordable lineup.

Apple is gearing up to introduce another model in its iPhone 17 lineup. Fresh leaks suggest the iPhone 17e will arrive early next year with three notable upgrades. The company appears determined to avoid the lukewarm response its predecessor received. The new version is expected to closely resemble the standard iPhone 17, while still keeping certain limitations to maintain a lower price point. Here’s what we know so far.
Upcoming iPhone 17e – What To Expect?
One of the biggest rumoured changes is the shift from the wide notch seen on the iPhone 16e to Apple’s popular Dynamic Island. This interactive cutout delivers real-time updates for deliveries, ride bookings, music playback, and more. Considering the underwhelming sales of the iPhone 16e, such upgrades could be crucial for the series’ revival.

A new leak from Weibo hints at a significant display upgrade and making the Dynamic Island essentially unavoidable as all current iPhone models now feature it. The design has become a core part of Apple’s identity, even inspiring similar approaches on several Android devices.
However, Apple is still expected to differentiate the 17e from its premium siblings. The model is reportedly sticking to a 60Hz refresh rate instead of adopting the smoother 120Hz ProMotion display. It will likely retain a 6.1-inch OLED panel.
The front camera could see a meaningful improvement. Analyst Jeff Pu previously claimed that the iPhone 17e will adopt the same 18MP selfie camera found on the flagship iPhone 17 models. This new squarish sensor is designed to capture both portrait and landscape selfies without requiring you to twist the phone. The rear is still expected to feature a single camera, though an upgrade matching the iPhone 17 series is possible.
The iPhone 17e may ship with Apple’s A19 chipset, the same silicon powering the main iPhone 17. While the CPU gains are modest over the A18, the GPU improvements especially for AI tasks and gaming are where the A19 stands out. The 17e would offer this next-gen chip at a more affordable price point.
iPhone 17e – Launch Timeline
Early reports suggest the iPhone 17e will debut in Q1 2026, likely around February or March. If true, this would mark an early-year refresh for Apple’s budget-friendly lineup.
Alongside the iPhone 17 Series smartphone, Apple may also unveil its long-rumoured budget MacBook. Expectations are high with early hints suggesting it could make a significant impact in price-sensitive markets such as India.
FAQs
Q1. What major design change is expected in the iPhone 17e?
Answer. The iPhone 17e will replace the wide notch from the iPhone 16e with Apple’s Dynamic Island, offering real‑time updates for apps like deliveries, ride bookings, and music playback.
Q2. How will the iPhone 17e’s camera and chipset improve?
Answer. It is rumoured to feature the same 18MP front camera as the flagship iPhone 17 models, designed for both portrait and landscape selfies. It will also ship with Apple’s A19 chip, delivering stronger GPU performance for AI tasks and gaming.
Q3. When is the iPhone 17e expected to launch?
Answer. Early reports suggest the iPhone 17e will debut in Q1 2026 (February–March), alongside Apple’s long‑rumoured budget MacBook aimed at price‑sensitive markets like India.

According to a Weibo post by tipster Smart Pikachu, the Vivo X300 Ultra is expected to launch in China sometime in the first quarter of 2026. According to multiple reports, this will most likely be between January and March 2026. And if it turns out to be true, this would place its arrival slightly earlier than its predecessor.
For launch timeline context, the Vivo X200 Ultra launched in April 2025 following the October 2024 debut of the Vivo X200 and X200 Pro. In comparison, the standard Vivo X300 and X300 Pro were unveiled in China this past October. This suggests that a Q1 2026 launch for the Ultra variant fits within Vivo’s typical release cycle.

The tipster also claims that the Vivo X300 Ultra could be equipped with a massive 7,000mAh battery. It will be a notable jump from the 6,000mAh unit found in the X200 Ultra. Meanwhile, the recently launched Vivo X300 series feature a 6,040mAh battery (standard model) and a 6,510mAh battery (Pro model), both supporting 90W wired and 40W wireless charging.
If accurate, the 7,000mAh capacity would make the X300 Ultra one of Vivo’s largest-battery flagship phones yet.
Vivo X300 Ultra – What Else We Know?
Past leaks suggest the Vivo X300 Ultra will be powered by Qualcomm’s top-tier Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset built on a 3nm process. The phone is also rumoured to feature a 6.8-inch 2K display and a triple rear camera setup, which may include two 200-megapixel sensors. One of these is tipped to be Sony’s new LYTIA 901 sensor.
In addition, the handset could offer upgraded ultrawide, primary, and 35mm periscope telephoto cameras compared to the Vivo X200 Ultra.
Vivo is expected to reveal more details in the coming months.
