It appears we are getting some concrete updates on the upcoming OnePlus flagship. New leaks around the OnePlus 15 are giving us a clearer picture of what to expect from the next flagship. According to famous tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo, the phone could pack a huge battery, super fast charging and a refreshed design with a flat display.

In case you’re wondering, OnePlus is expected to skip the “14” just like it skipped the “4” in the past because the number is considered unlucky in some Asian cultures. So, the brand is likely jumping straight to the OnePlus 15 after the OnePlus 13. In any case, here’s what we know about the phone.

OnePlus 15 – What We Know?

Digital Chat Station says the OnePlus 15 prototype is based on the SM8850 chip likely the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 (possibly called Snapdragon 8 Elite 2). The phone is being described as performance-focused, so don’t expect massive upgrades to the camera, though there could still be some tweaks.

One of the standout features could be the battery, which reportedly “starts with a 7” suggesting a 7,000mAh+ capacity. That’s huge by flagship standards. It’s also tipped to support 100W wired and wireless charging. Despite this large battery, OnePlus is aiming to keep the design slim and lightweight.

The OnePlus 15 is expected to feature a flat display, a shift from the curved panels we’ve seen since the OnePlus 7 Pro. The screen could be a 6.78-inch LTPO OLED with 1.5K resolution and ultra-thin bezels, made possible by LIPO packaging technology. This helps create a symmetrical and clean front look.

The phone is said to include a 0916 vibration motor for better haptics, a single-point ultrasonic fingerprint sensor and a fibreglass back panel. For protection, it will offer IP68/IP69 dust and water resistance.

As of now, OnePlus is A/B testing two versions of a 50MP triple camera system. Both setups include a main sensor (one standard, one ultra-large), an ultra-wide camera and a periscope telephoto lens with around 3x zoom. OnePlus is reportedly deciding between small and medium sensor sizes for the periscope unit.

The China launch for the OnePlus 15 is expected around October 2025, followed by a global release in January 2026.

A troubling Instagram account that allegedly posted secret videos of women riding the Namma Metro has triggered public outrage in Bengaluru. The page, which had gained over 5,000 followers, was flagged by BJP MP P C Mohan, who called it a “blatant violation of privacy and dignity.”

On X (formerly Twitter), Mohan demanded immediate action, saying, “An Instagram account is secretly filming women on Namma Metro, and shockingly, 5,000 people are following it. It’s a blatant violation of privacy and dignity, not just creepy but a serious crime. @BlrCityPolice, take immediate action.” He tagged the Bengaluru City Police, urging them to crack down on the account.

The issue has sparked concern at a time when metro authorities are already trying to improve public behaviour on trains. The Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited (BMRCL) recently announced stricter enforcement against spitting and chewing tobacco in stations and trains. These efforts include random physical checks, better CCTV surveillance and fines to promote cleaner and safer commuting.

An FIR has been filed in connection with the case, according to NDTV. The account in question, reportedly named “Bangalore Metro Chicks,” has now deleted all of its content following backlash.

Deputy Commissioner of Police (South) Lokesh B Jagalasar responded to the viral post and confirmed, “An FIR has been booked in this regard at Banashankari PS and investigation is taken up.” Police are now working to track down both the person who filmed the videos and the individual managing the account.

The situation has caused a wave of anger online. One concerned user posted, “As a woman who uses the metro every day, this is absolutely horrifying to me! @OfficialBMRCL please take note!” Another user added, “The content is vulgar & objectifying. Please take action @BlrCityPolice @NCWIndia. No one deserves to be filmed and sexualised in public. Report & RT!!!!”

MP Tejasvi Surya also voiced strong condemnation, posting on X, “Secretly photographing women in public transport is not just vile — it’s a serious crime. This is a gross violation of dignity and safety, and there must be zero tolerance for such behaviour.”

Authorities have assured that the investigation is underway and that those responsible will be brought to justice.

FAQs

Q1. What triggered the outrage regarding an Instagram page in Bengaluru?

Answer. An Instagram account secretly filmed women on Namma Metro, leading to public backlash. BJP MP P C Mohan flagged it as a violation of privacy and dignity.

Apple WWDC 2025 – Keynote Time, Schedule and Major AI Announcements Revealed

Highlights

  • It will most likely give access to on-device AI tools via a new SDK.

Apple has officially shared the full schedule for WWDC 2025, after first announcing the event back in March. Things kick off with the main keynote on June 9 at 10 a.m. PDT and members of the press have been invited to attend in person. Here’s everything we know.

Apple Keynote – June 9, 10 a.m. PDT

Apple says, WWDC25 kicks off with a first look at the groundbreaking updates coming to Apple platforms. The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.”

This keynote is expected to unveil major updates across Apple’s software lineup.

Platforms State of the Union – June 9, 1 p.m. PDT

Right after the keynote, Apple will host its Platforms State of the Union.

Apple says, “Following the Keynote, the Platforms State of the Union will take a deeper dive into the new tools that will further empower Apple developers, including advances across iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS, visionOS, and watchOS. The Platforms State of the Union will be available to stream on the Apple Developer app, website, and Apple Developer YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.”

WWDC 2025 will also feature over 100 technical sessions, group and one-on-one labs, and plenty of other developer-focused content throughout the week.

Apple Will Let Developers Build with Its Own AI Models

Meanwhile, a new Bloomberg report reveals key details about what to expect from the event. According to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple will use WWDC 2025 to announce that third-party developers will now be able to build with its Apple Intelligence AI models.

A new software development kit (SDK) and related frameworks will let apps tap into the same large language models that Apple uses across iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Up until now, developers only had access to limited Apple AI tools like Genmoji, Image Playground, and the system-wide Writing Tools. They couldn’t work directly with Apple’s core AI models.

That’s about to change. Gurman says Apple will first open access to on-device, smaller versions of its model, not the more powerful cloud-based ones, which still run on Apple’s servers. This means developers can expect faster, more private AI interactions, though they may not be as advanced as what cloud processing offers.

Gurman also points out this move could give Apple a financial boost. With App Store revenue facing regulatory challenges, giving developers access to Apple Intelligence could open up new monetisation opportunities.

“A surge in apps may also have a financial benefit. Apple takes a cut of revenue for subscriptions within apps themselves. But the App Store is under pressure from regulators globally. A US judge ruled last month that Apple must allow developers to steer customers to the web to complete purchases, bypassing the company’s revenue-sharing system. A wave of new apps could soften the blow of losing out on some current sales,” Gurman writes.

Gurman believes Apple is most likely thinking it can replicate what happened with the App Store’s early success with this move.

FAQs

Q1. When is Apple’s WWDC 2025 keynote scheduled?

Answer. Apple’s WWDC 2025 keynote will take place on June 9 at 10 a.m. PDT, streamed on apple.com, the Apple TV app, and YouTube, with on-demand playback available.

Q2. What AI-related announcements are expected at WWDC 2025?

Answer. Apple will let third-party developers access Apple Intelligence AI models via a new SDK, enabling on-device AI interactions for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS apps.

Q3. How could Apple’s AI push impact developers?

Answer. By allowing access to Apple Intelligence models, Apple could boost app development and create new monetisation opportunities, especially amid App Store regulations.

Google is taking online shopping to the next level with new AI-powered features that were just announced at Google I/O 2025. The latest update to Google AI Mode introduces two major additions, which are a virtual Try-On tool for clothes and a “buy for me” option that can handle purchases automatically. Here’s what we know.

Google’s Virtual Try-On Tool

The idea of trying on clothes virtually isn’t new, but generative AI is making it far more realistic. Google’s new virtual Try-On feature uses its custom image generation model to show you how clothes might look on your body.

According to Google, the model understands the way clothes “fold and fall on skin,” giving you a much more accurate preview. All you need to do is upload a photo and the AI will generate an image of you wearing the item.

This feature is powered by Google’s Shopping Graph, which includes access to 50 billion products online. It works a lot like an AI image prompt, giving you a near-instant visual of how a specific outfit could look on you.

Virtual try-ons are now available in the U.S. through Search Labs.

Google Introduces “Buy For Me” Feature

The second big update is all about convenience.

Google is adding a feature called “buy for me” that lets its AI assistant handle the entire checkout process. After you’ve set a price alert on a product, Gemini (Google’s AI assistant) will notify you when that price is hit. You can then choose the “buy for me” option and let the AI take care of the rest.

It will use your saved card and personal details to complete the purchase without needing to visit the store’s website.

This shopping experience is designed to be more conversational. Instead of just searching for a product, you can tell the AI what you’re looking for, whether it’s style, colour, size or type, and that’s it. It will suggest products, help you compare options and even refine suggestions based on your feedback.

It’s like having your own personal shopping assistant, powered by Gemini and the Shopping Graph.

Rollout Timeline

Google says the updated AI Mode and the “buy for me” feature will roll out “in the coming months.” The virtual try-on tool, however, is already live in Search Labs for users in the U.S.

FAQs

Q1. How does Google’s virtual try-on tool work?

Answer. Google’s virtual try-on feature uses generative AI to show users how clothes fit by analyzing how fabric folds and falls on the skin using custom image generation.

Q2. What is the “buy for me” feature in Google AI Shopping?

Answer. The “buy for me” feature allows Gemini AI to track product prices, send alerts when they drop, and complete purchases automatically using saved payment details.

Q3. When will these AI-powered shopping features be available?

Answer. The virtual try-on tool is already live in Search Labs (U.S.), while the “buy for me” feature is set to roll out in the coming months.
