iPhone 17 Air tipped to be world's slimmest flagship of 2025
iPhone 17 Air tipped to be world's slimmest flagship of 2025 By Divya Bhati Photo: AppleHub/X The iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be Apple's thinnest iPhone ever, possibly just 5.5mm thick. It is rumoured to feature a 6.6-inch display with a smooth 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate. According to rumours Apple may use a titanium-aluminum frame to keep it light and strong. The phone is expected to have only a single 48-megapixel rear camera due to its ultra-slim design. Photo: iDeviceHelp/YouTube It will likely run on the new A19 chip and pack 12GB of RAM. The front camera is also expected to get a big upgrade to 24-megapixel for better selfies and videos. Photo: iDeviceHelp/YouTube The iPhone 17 Air is also rumoured to feature a new "Adaptive Power" mode, introduced in iOS 26, which will use AI to optimize battery life. The iPhone 17 Air is also likely to include MagSafe charging, an Action button, and a Camera Control button. It is also one of the first iPhones tipped to use Apple's own 5G modem and Wi-Fi 7 chip. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to launch alongside the rest of the iPhone 17 lineup in September 2025. Photo: Majin Bu

iOS 26 Beta Adds Nudity Detection to FaceTime, Pauses Calls for User Safety
Apple's iOS 26 is shaping up to be one of the company's most privacy-focused updates to date, with a striking new feature quietly making its way into the FaceTime app. According to reports from 9to5Mac, the iOS 26 beta introduces automatic nudity detection during FaceTime video calls—a function that immediately pauses both video and audio if sensitive or explicit content is detected on-screen. The feature is designed to enhance digital safety, particularly for younger users, by intervening when nudity is identified during live conversations. When triggered, FaceTime displays a cautionary message: 'Audio and video are paused because you may be showing something sensitive. If you feel uncomfortable, you should end the call.' Users are then given a choice to either resume or terminate the call. Although not prominently highlighted during Apple's WWDC 2025 event, the nudity detection capability is reportedly active across all accounts in the beta—not just those tied to child profiles or Family Sharing setups. This suggests that Apple is testing a broader implementation of this technology with an eye toward improving safety for everyone on its platform. This new FaceTime functionality appears to be an extension of Apple's long-standing efforts to protect user privacy and promote digital wellbeing. During the WWDC keynote, Apple revealed significant enhancements to its Family Safety tools under iOS 26, including expanded Communication Safety features. These now include protections within FaceTime, allowing for real-time content moderation to help reduce exposure to inappropriate imagery. Beyond FaceTime, similar content detection tools are also coming to other parts of the iOS ecosystem. For instance, Shared Albums in the Photos app will now automatically blur explicit images before displaying them, giving users the option to view or ignore such content. These features reflect Apple's increasing use of on-device intelligence to filter and manage sensitive media without compromising user privacy. The decision to pause a call rather than simply notify users may reflect Apple's stronger stance on ensuring a safe communication environment, especially as video calls continue to play a central role in both personal and professional life. While this feature may cause some momentary disruptions during calls in the beta phase, it underscores Apple's commitment to creating a respectful digital space. Whether the nudity detection system will remain enabled for all users in the final release of iOS 26 remains to be seen. Feedback from beta testers and privacy advocates will likely influence its final scope. As Apple gears up for the public rollout of iOS 26 alongside its new iPhone lineup later this year, more details are expected on how these safeguards will function and who they'll apply to. Until then, those testing the iOS 26 beta may find their FaceTime experience a little more cautious—but a lot more secure.

Nvidia share price inches close to record high. Will the stock rally continue?
Nvidia's share price has rebounded sharply from its April lows, recording an over 60% rally to record high levels above $158 mark for the first time earlier this week. For the year, the chipmaker has gained 28% and is up 17% on a year-to-date basis. This sharp rally has pushed Nvidia to reclaim the title of the world's most valuable stock, with a market capitalisation of $327 trillion, beating Microsoft's $311 trillion. Apple remains at a distant third with $270 trillion in m-cap. After some turbulence in the first half of the year amid fears of Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) company DeepSeek and Donald Trump's tariff announcements, Nvidia shares have come unscathed, led by strong demand for its AI chips. Big tech companies are buying extra capacity early to handle AI tasks, which is increasing Nvidia's GPU sales and service income, according to analysts. Microsoft, Meta, Inc. and Alphabet Inc. are projected to put about $350 billion into capital expenditures in their upcoming fiscal years, up from $310 billion in the current year, according to the average of analyst estimates compiled by Bloomberg. Those companies account for more than 40% of Nvidia's revenue. Moreover, the launch of the Blackwell GPU line and preview of the next-gen Rubin architecture have fueled investor excitement for continued product leadership, said Dharan Shah, Founder, The company's latest earnings, announced at the end of March, also reinforce the interest in Nvidia's stock. The company reported revenue for the first quarter ended April 2025 of $44.1 billion, up 12% from the previous quarter and up 69% from the year-ago period. Despite the China export curbs, Nvidia forecasted sales of $45 billion, plus or minus 2%, in the second quarter, only slightly below analysts' average estimate of $45.90 billion, according to data compiled by LSEG, said a Reuters report. That would imply growth of about 50% from a year earlier. Nvidia's latest AI accelerators, growing customer base and strong financials, make investors bullish on the stock. "Strong revenue forecasts and management indication that China export curbs would have a smaller impact than feared, thanks to customer pre-buying of AI chips ahead of restrictions, drove Nvidia to an all-time high $3.77 trillion market cap on June 26," said Shah. Trading at about 36× forward earnings—above peers like AMD at 22× but well below its own 80× peak—Nvidia commands a premium multiple justified by rapid growth, believes founder. He added that next-gen Rubin chips, an expanding software ecosystem, and continued margin resilience should sustain growth, although geopolitical export controls and macroeconomic headwinds remain key risks. However, some analysts see increased competition and its lofty valuations as key risks going ahead, which they believe could impact its upside in the medium term. Anshul Jain, Head of Research at Lakshmishree Investment, said that Nvidia has broken out of a bullish 153-day cup and handle pattern at 149, signalling a strong continuation trend on the tech charts. "The recent two-day decline is just a healthy pullback, likely retesting the breakout zone before its next leg up. A fresh breakout above 158.85 will be crucial, as it could trigger strong buying momentum and propel the stock towards the 175 level in the short term. Traders should watch for volume confirmation to ride this trend confidently and manage risk wisely," Jain added. As of Thursday, July 3, Nvidia stock was trading around $157.34 apiece in the pre-market trade. Disclaimer: This story is for educational purposes only.
