We have been hearing about the iPhone 17 Slim for a while now. Rumours and leaks have revealed quite a few details about the next iPhone series phone even though no confirmation has been received from official sources yet.

Now, confirming something that was reported earlier, we have new reports from another non-official industry source.

According to analyst Jeff Pu, Apple is planning a big update to its iPhone lineup in 2025 with the launch of a new iPhone 17 Slim model.

This upcoming iPhone model will most likely focus on a sleek design and simplified features unlike the high-end specifications seen in other models.

According to analyst Jeff Pu and confirmed in a recent 9to5Mac report, the key features of the iPhone 17 Slim include –

  • Chip: A19
  • Display: 6.6-inch
  • RAM: 8GB
  • Front-camera: 24MP
  • Rear camera: Single 48MP camera
  • Biometrics: Face ID
  • Casing: Aluminum

The iPhone 17 Slim will have an all-new form factor relacing the current Plus model.

However, it is not yet revealed if we can expect any significant change in price, size or other factors of the upcoming device. Some reports have hinted it could even be priced higher than the iPhone Pro Max model.

iPhone 17 Lineup – What To Expect?

Along with the iPhone 17 Slim, the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup will include some significant upgrades:

  • iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Slim: Both will feature 8GB of RAM and the A19 chip.
  • iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max: These models will come with 12GB of RAM and an upgraded A19 Pro chip.
  • Pro Max Model: The iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature a smaller Dynamic Island due to new “metalens” technology, which could reduce the size of the Face ID sensor.

Earlier this year, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggested that all upcoming iPhone 17 models will include a 24MP front camera.

This is a significant boost from the 12MP sensors that can be found in current iPhone models.

However, the 9to5Mac report hints that all reports and rumours are still in development. There is always a chance that these plans will change in future before actual production.

It is clear Apple is aiming for a major shift in design and performance with the iPhone 17 series. Apple fans will have to wait until September 2025 for the official announcement.

  • Delhi Police is investigating a Telegram channel named Justice League India for its role in the CRPF school blast.
  • The channel shared a post and CCTV footage related to a bomb blast at a CRPF school in Rohini.
  • The post contained a pro-Khalistan message.

A Telegram Channel is now under scanner a day after a bomb blast damaged a wall at the CRPF school in Prashant Vihar, Rohini.

Delhi Police has now reached out to Telegram Messenger for information regarding a channel named “Justice League India.”

According to police sources, the channel had shared a post about the blast, along with CCTV footage of the incident.

“The police are seeking information from other social media platforms as well. Telegram has yet to respond to the Delhi Police. The investigation is ongoing, and no specific organization has been linked to the blast yet. All angles are being investigated,” police sources told ANI.

On October 21, a video of the Delhi blast appeared on the Justice League India Telegram channel. The video had a “Khalistan Zindabad” watermark and was accompanied by a message stating that Khalistani groups were “ready to strike anytime.”

The message read, “If Indian coward agency and their master think they can hire filthy goons to target our members to silence our voice, then they live in fools’ world. They can’t imagine how close we are to them and how capable we are to strike anytime. #KhalistanZindabad #JLI.”

The message is now being viewed in the context of growing tensions between India and Canada over anti-India activities by Khalistani extremists.

Meanwhile, Delhi Chief Minister Atishi criticised the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)-led central government as it oversees Delhi’s law enforcement. In a post on X, Atishi accused the Centre of failing to maintain law and order in the national capital. “The responsibility to maintain law and order in Delhi is with BJP’s central government. But BJP ignores this and uses its time to disrupt the work of Delhi’s elected government,” she wrote.

The message posted in Telegram-channels indicates that Khalistani operatives were behind the blast in Delhi

As a response to the comments, BJP leader Shazia Ilmi said, “The puppet CM is known for this. If you make her speak on any topic, it is always about the Centre. Something very serious has happened. The situation is totally in control. Instead of expressing anxiety about the situation and [thinking] what should be done, a political blame game has begun.”

This isn’t the first time Telegram has been used to share such messages.

In the last few years, Telegram has been notoriously associated with various criminal activities. According to a recent report published in the New York Times, Telegram has become a platform for illegal dealings, with some channels advertising weapons, drugs like cocaine and heroin and more across multiple countries.

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the National Security Guard (NSG) have since joined the probe.

Moreover, a case has been registered under the Explosives Act. The area remains under tight security as of now.

Amit Goel, deputy commissioner of police (Rohini), said, “When local police reached the spot, the school’s boundary wall was damaged, and a foul smell was coming from the area. The glass panes and windows of nearby shops and parked cars were also damaged.”

A senior forensic science laboratory officer stated, “Initial inspection of the samples shows the accused used a homemade explosive containing ammonia and phosphate. It looks like a crude bomb.”

“We have earmarked areas that record high footfall or are sensitive. These include Lutyens Delhi, government office buildings, markets, malls, among other places. The deployment has been increased. We have asked district officers to send teams for patrolling and ensure no anti-social elements break laws,” a senior police officer at the police headquarters said on the condition of anonymity.

“The sound was so loud that we initially thought it was an accident. It wasn’t until we saw the damage that we realized it was something more serious,” said a local shopkeeper whose store windows were shattered by the blast.

FAQs

Q1. Why is the Telegram channel under investigation by the Delhi Police?

Answer. Delhi Police is investigating the Justice League India Telegram channel after it shared a post and CCTV footage related to a bomb blast at a CRPF school in Rohini, along with a pro-Khalistan message.

Q2. What security agencies are involved in the investigation of the CRPF school bomb blast?

Answer. The National Investigation Agency (NIA) and the National Security Guard (NSG) have joined the probe, and a case has been registered under the Explosives Act.

Malware threats are ever evolving and every tech company is constantly working to stay ahead of the curve.

Google has recently announced some major upgrades to the built-in antivirus software of Android to provide better protection from malicious apps.

Google revealed in its latest blog post that the latest Google Play Protect update aims to enhance the Android’s ability to detect and prevent malware.

The update will also ensure it offers real-time scanning to identify threats more effectively.

Google Play Protect comes pre-installed on all Android devices and it works by scanning apps for malware. It scans all apps including those already installed and any new ones downloaded.

According to a recent Google blog, Play Protect scans over 125 billion apps daily.

However, cybercriminals often find ways to bypass such security using tactics like polymorphic malware.

Malware constantly evolve to evade detection and use various techniques to trick users into downloading harmful apps.

Google is now introducing real-time scanning at the code level.

Once this feature is updated on Android phones, Play Protect will automatically scan in real-time any newly downloaded app that has not been scanned before. This will help Google in evaluating the app’s code in detail.

It will then provide users with a report if the app is safe to install.

The real-time scanning feature is currently available in India and other select countries. Google plans for a global rollout in the near future.

Meanwhile, Google also advised users in the blog post to be cautious when installing any apps.

Google recommends avoiding sideloading apps from unofficial sources, as they don’t undergo the same security checks as those on the Google Play Store or other trusted platforms like the Amazon Appstore or Samsung Galaxy Store.

Moreover, users are also advised to be wary of suspicious links or attachments from unknown contacts.

Apart from Google Play Protect, Android users can also enhance the security of their devices by installing third-party antivirus apps such as Bitdefender Mobile Security or Norton Mobile Security.

These apps offer extra protection against potential malware threats.

More details about Google’s real-time scanning feature will most likely emerge soon.

Spiritual and devotional apps are increasingly gaining popularily among Indian users. As per a recent Economic Times report, a sharp rise in user engagement was registered in such apps during Navratri and now a busy Diwali season is expected.

According to industry executives quoted in media, Apps like Vama.app, AppsForBharat, Astrotalk and DevDham saw significant growth in their services particularly in areas such as online pujas and virtual offerings.

Manu Jain, founder of Vama.app noted a substantial increase in both users and revenue during Navratri.

“Because of Navratri, we launched new products and services,” he told ET.  “As a result, we are seeing an uptick of 20-25% (month-on-month) in new users overall. Our revenue for the last week of September so far is showing a week-on-week growth of over 20%,” Jain added.

Vama.app offers services like virtual pujas, temple darshans and astrology consultations.

Jain added that the company expects even more significant growth as Diwali approaches. “There are more organic searches on the platform. However, I expect a significant increase to come closer to Diwali, as the real festive period is around that time. Therefore, we are planning everything for the last week of October,” he said.

Prashant Sachan, founder of AppsForBharat, shared similar success during Navratri, especially after the company expanded services for the festive period.

The platform saw around 850,000 darshans and 12,000 online pujas during the Shravan sacred period.

For Diwali, the company is further expanding its services to temples in Madurai and Tirunelveli, which is expected to boost user acquisition by 20%.

“This season, we are witnessing an upsurge in user participation, and we anticipate continued growth in engagement as our app is now available in five regional languages, with three more being added to deepen our reach across India,” Sachan explained. AppsForBharat also experienced strong overseas interest, with 35% of its Navratri revenue coming from international users.

The rising popularity of spiritual and devotional apps has attracted venture capital interest, with investments flowing into platforms offering services such as online astrology and digital pujas.

For instance, Noida-based Astrotalk, which recently raised $9.4 million in equity funding, is planning to expand beyond astrology into the devotional segment.

DevDham, another major player in the space, also saw significant growth during religious periods like Shravan and Pitru Paksha, when Hindus honour their ancestors.

“We saw an uptick of 30-35% in new transactions during the Shravan and Pitru Paksha period, with 60% from existing users and 40% from new users,” cofounder Pranav Kapoor said. The platform has introduced various offerings for Navratri, such as items for goddess worship, and expects strong demand for puja services during Dhanteras and Diwali.

Kapoor added, “We have also launched other products related to various rituals. We are observing significant interest from customers, including many repeat buyers and we expect this to scale.”

With the upcoming Diwali season, these apps are poised to see further growth as more users turn to digital platforms for their spiritual needs.

FAQs

Q1. How much growth did the Vama.app experience during Navratri?

Answer. Manu Jain the founder of Vama.app revealed, “We are seeing an uptick of 20-25% (month-on-month) in new users overall. Our revenue for the last week of September so far is showing a week-on-week growth of over 20%.”

We have been regularly reporting on rumours and leaks on the upcoming iPhone SE. It will be the next iPhone to officially release before we get to see the iPhone 17.

As of now, we are expecting the next iPhone SE to be released sometime next spring, which means we still have at least 6 months of wait. However, this doesn’t mean the buzz around the phone will be fading.

In fact, a recent report showing new images of iPhone SE 4 dummy units gives us our first glimpse of what the new device is going to look like.

The famous Japanese blog Macotakara known for revealing dummy unit images of upcoming iPhones has recently released a set of new images of iPhone SE 4 dummy units. The images give us a closer look at what to expect from Apple’s upcoming budget iPhone.

iPhone SE 4 – Dummy Unit Images Revealed

As previous rumour suggested, the design resembles that of the iPhone 14.

The dummy units also reveal that we can expect compatibility with iPhone 14 cases. Moreover, Macotakara’s report also hinted at a larger size option for the phone that’s unlikely to happen.

The dummy units released by the Macotakara blog indicate many key features of the upcoming iPhone SE 4.

The device will most likely feature a single rear camera, a mute switch instead of the new action button seen in recent models and a smaller notch with Face ID at the top.

image

Its dimensions are likely to be 146.7mm x 71.5mm x 7.8mm. And just to make it clear, these mentioned dimensions are identical to the iPhone 14.

Another important aspect revealed by the blog report is how iPhone 14 cases fit the SE 4 dummy just fine. Although, the camera cutout is larger due to the iPhone 14’s dual camera setup.

image

Macotakara report also mentions that the mute switch is slightly smaller on the SE 4. Meanwhile, the volume and side buttons remain the same as was last seen in the iPhone 14.

iPhone SE 4 Key Details – Features, AI and Key Specs (Expected)

As per most recent reports, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display similar to the iPhone 14.

This display will come with a flat-edged design, Face ID and a smaller notch.

However, it will stick to a single rear camera unlike what we have seen in iPhone 14.

Display analyst Ross Young previously suggested the SE 4 will share the same 6.1-inch OLED panel supplied by both BOE and LG Display.

Moreover, Apple is also expected to move to USB-C for the iPhone SE 4 instead of the Lightning connector. This is more because of the EU regulations that require a unified charging port for devices.

As for the camera upgrades in the upcoming iPhone SE 4, the device is likely to feature the same 48MP rear sensor as the iPhone 15.

This will be a massive upgrade from the 12MP camera we got in the iPhone SE 3.

The front camera will also be upgraded to 12MP from the 7MP selfie camera on the current SE model.

One exciting feature expected in the iPhone SE 4 is Apple Intelligence.

The phone will most likely powered by the A18 chip and 8GB of RAM, which will make it eligible for Apple Intelligence features.

Apple seems to be now aiming to include this AI-powered feature in as many devices as possible including on its most affordable models.

Moreover, the SE 4 will also mark the debut of Apple’s first in-house modem codenamed “Centauri.”

This modem was developed after Apple acquired Intel’s modem business in 2019 to reduce reliance on Qualcomm. It will handle 5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and GPS.

Last but not least, the iPhone SE 4 is expected to have a higher price point starting at $499 making it a reasonable price for an iPhone under $500.

FAQ

Q1. When is the iPhone SE 4 expected to be released?

Answer. The next iPhone SE is expected to be released sometime next spring, which means we still have at least 6 months of wait.

Q2. What design features are revealed by the iPhone SE 4 dummy units?

Answer. The dummy units indicate that the iPhone SE 4 will have a single rear camera, a mute switch instead of the new action button, and a smaller notch with Face ID.

Q3. What are the expected camera specifications for the iPhone SE 4?

Answer. The device is likely to feature a 48MP rear sensor and a 12MP front camera, which is an upgrade from the 12MP and 7MP cameras on the iPhone SE 3.

Apple Employees Think They Are Running Behind in AI Development, Says Gurman

Highlights

  • Apple employees reportedly believe they are two years behind in AI development.
  • Apple Intelligence requires an A17 or M1 chipset and 8GB of memory.
  • AI to be available on all Apple devices with screens by 2026.
  • The new iPad release is now delayed until late 2025.

According to the latest edition of Mark Gurman’s Power On newsletter, some Apple employees believe the company is about two years behind in developing artificial intelligence.

However, Apple has a strategy to catch up and some internal studies suggest the company is approaching the challenge.

Apple introduced its first AI suite of features called Apple Intelligence at WWDC24 in June.

This included an introduction to tools like AI notification summaries, a revamped Siri with personal context, Image Playground, Genmoji and more.

However, there was an interesting information that was missed out. It was only later revealed that Apple isn’t handling everything in-house.

Apple Intelligence runs primarily on-device to ensure better privacy. However, it also limits the complexity of the models due to hardware constraints.

The hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence include an A17 or M1 chipset or newer and at least 8GB of memory.

Apple also announced a partnership with OpenAI to integrate ChatGPT into the system because of the hardware limitations.

Gurman recently shared some of Apple’s internal studies that indicate that ChatGPT is about 25% more accurate than Siri and can answer 30% more questions.

This also shows that there is a significant gap between the AI performance of Apple’s own tools and the performance of OpenAI.

Skipping iPad 11 is a sign of apple focus on AI

As Gurman specified in his newsletter, some Apple employees believe the company’s AI technology is still over two years behind other market-leading AI players.

Furthermore, Gurman has predicted that Apple Intelligence will be available on every Apple device with a screen by 2026.

This means we can expect upgrades across the Apple product lineup.

The iPhone SE is to come with the A18 chip in March and an update to the entry-level iPad can be expected in 2025.

iPad Release Expected in Late 2025

Speaking of iPad, Gurman has now confirmed that we won’t be getting a new iPad until late 2025. As per the recent 9to5Mac report, this delay in refreshing the iPad indicates that Apple “will be selling a 3-year-old product with a 5-year-old chipset when it finally gets updated.”

It was previously suggested by display specialist Ross Young that panel shipments were underway this month, which indicated in favour of a spring release. However, Gurman speculative timeless shows a different picture.

“The iPhone SE will gain the features in March, and the entry-level iPad will probably get updated later in the year,” Gurman wrote.

The current base model of the iPad is more than 2 years old. It comes with an A14 chip at the moment. The A14 chip was close to 2 years old at the time it was launched. Apple traditionally places a 2-year-old chipset in the base iPad with every new update.

FAQs

Q1. What new features were introduced in Apple Intelligence at WWDC24?

Answer. Apple Intelligence introduced tools like AI notification summaries, a revamped Siri with personal context, Image Playground and Genmoji.

Q2. What are the hardware requirements for Apple Intelligence?

Answer. The hardware requirements include an A17 or M1 chipset or newer and at least 8GB of memory.

Q3. When is the new iPad expected to be released?

In the last few years, YouTube has been introducing many changes that have not been so well received.

Many YouTube users have been vocal about the platform not prioritising users and only focusing on creator-friendly features.

Now we are hearing that the streaming platform is testing yet another feature that is being designed only for the convenience of creators.

As per a recent PhoneArena report, YouTube following the industry trend is also integrating artificial intelligence to the app.

However, rather than adding features that would help YouTube users, the platform is working on an AI tool for automatic text generation.

Reports suggest YouTube is working on an AI tool that would mimic a creator’s tone and writing style to reply to comments on their behalf on the videos.

This would basically automate the entire creator and viewer interaction on the platform.

Many tech enthusiasts were quick to point out that this would kill the excitement of getting a reply from your favourite YouTuber since now the replies could be an AI-generated response.

As per PhoneArena’s report, the tool would allow creators to quickly generate replies to comments with the option to edit them or post as-is.

It will make it easier for them to manage the engagement on the videos.

Some fear that creators might eventually let the AI run on autopilot, replying to comments without any supervision just to boost engagement.

The PhoneArena report observes, “Text generation is, in my mind, the most boring use an app can find for modern LLMs (Large Language Models). Generating visuals, or even better, understanding them and acting on them is a much cooler concept. It’s what Apple Intelligence aims to do with on-screen awareness. This is also what Microsoft wants to accomplish with the controversial Windows Recall.”

The report also mentioned how many other apps are using AI for only basic purposes such as generating, summarizing, or customising text.

This rightfully raises concerns about the internet becoming increasingly bot-driven without opportunity for any meaningful human interactions.

The next Samsung flagship is not expected until January 2025.

However, leaks and rumours about it have revealed some of the most exciting details about the upcoming device already.

We already know that the upcoming high-end smartphone will have a new slimmer design with rounded edges. Now, the latest leak reveals some colour options that we might get to see in the upcoming device.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – Colour Options (Leaked)

According to popular and reliable leaker Ice Universe on X (previously Twitter), the Galaxy S25 Ultra might come in four colour options. These new colours could be black, green, blue and titanium as per the new updates.

Many online tech enthusiasts believe that the black and titanium options could be similar to the Galaxy S24 Ultra’s Titanium Black and Titanium Gray. Meanwhile, the blue and green shades could be something new to look forward to.

The recent Android Police report also suggests that Samsung may also offer exclusive colours. However, those exclusive colours will most likely only be available through its online store in certain regions.

No further details about these special colours are available as of yet.

The addition of titanium colour in the leak is the one that garnered the most attention. It is possibly because the time resembles the Natural Titanium shade that Apple introduced with its iPhone 15 Pro series for the first. We have seen Apple reintroduce the same colour shade with the iPhone 16 Pro lineup as well.

Interestingly, Samsung already uses titanium in the Galaxy S24 Ultra. All seven Galaxy S24 Ultra colours include Titanium as a prefix including the online exclusive colours such as Titanium Green, Titanium Blue and Titanium Orange.

As of now, it is unclear whether Samsung will follow the same naming pattern for the S25 Ultra as well.

Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra – Key Details (Rumoured)

According to leaks and rumours, the Galaxy S25 Ultra is also expected to pack some serious hardware improvements. Previous leaks have suggested it will feature Qualcomm’s upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chip.

Moreover, it might come with 16GB of RAM for better multitasking capabilities.

Certain reports also suggested that a 50MP ultrawide camera might also added to the mix of camera setup.

However, it looks like Samsung isn’t making any big changes to the battery. The phone is rumoured to come with the same 5,000mAh battery and 45W wired fast charging that we’ve seen in previous models.

As the launch approaches next year, we can expect more details to emerge.
