iPhone 17 dummy units leaked in 2 new colour variants: Here's what it may look like
Apple iPhone 17 series launch is less than 2 months away, and its design leaks have become more frequent. Earlier, we got a glimpse at iPhone 17 Pro models' colours that included a new copper and blue shade. Now, a tipster has leaked the dummy units of the standard iPhone 17 model in two new, fresh colours. However, in terms of the design, the smartphone looks quite similar to its predecessor, the iPhone 16. iPhone 17 model is tipped to come in 6 new shades, giving buyers a variety of colour options during purchase.(Majin Bu/X) Last year, Apple introduced some bright colours with the iPhone 16, with 'Ultramarine' gaining much popularity among the buyers. However, based on the dummy units, Apple is likely to pick light colour shades, similar to what we saw with the iPhone 15 models.

This year, Apple is expected to bring 6 colour options that may include Black, White, Light Blue, Steel Grey, Green, and Purple. Now, tipster Majin Bu has leaked the dummy units of the iPhone model, giving a glimpse at two new shades of the device, which are Green and Purple. While we have already seen these two colours in previous generations of base iPhone models, but the iPhone 17 will likely come in new shades of green and purple, which look quite enticing in the newly shared glimpse by the tipster.

Firstly, the iPhone 17 could get a 120Hz OLED display. The smartphone will likely be powered by the A19 chip paired with 8GB RAM. For photography, Apple may stick to the 48MP main camera and 12MP ultrawide, but it is expected to get an upgraded 24MP selfie camera. Therefore, the iPhone 17 could be a great option for an upgrade this year. Apple is also planning to introduce a new iPhone 17 Air model, which could replace the Plus model. This new model is expected to flaunt an ultra-thin design, similar to the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Therefore, buyers will have another standard model choice, apart from the base iPhone 17 model.

Inclusive art takes centre stage at Backyard
The Banyan, much like the ancient Yggdrasil, does not merely grow, it connects. Rooted in memory, branching through time, it stretches across the now and into what comes next. This tree is culture and art. On a sultry Sunday afternoon in Backyard, Adyar, this idea came alive in form. The third edition of The Living Library of Artists, hosted by Sunshine House in collaboration with 98 Madras and Anchored Hues, transformed the space into a living, breathing archive of queerness, craft, and cultural memory. Unlike the white-walled 'chicness' of traditional galleries, this was art as an encounter. Artistes stood beside their work on display inside the two-storeyed building, not just to be observed, but to be spoken with. 'Think of this as a library,' said Purple, one of the curators of the event. 'You talk to an artiste. Each of them will have a story to tell. Each of them is growing, like branches of a tree, and each one gives a hand.'

Raj Bhavan nod for underground 1.6 km stretch of Purple Line
1 2 3 Kolkata: Following Raj Bhavan's clearance, RVNL has completed survey of the Purple line's 1.6 km extension to Eden Gardens. The metro tracks will travel through the edge of the Governor House lawns before crossing over to the opposite flank where the corridor's fifth underground station is being planned. Rarely do agencies seek the governor's approval for surveys that are prerequisites to drawing a new Metro route. Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL), the implementing agency of the Purple line, which is being extended 1.6 km beyond Esplanade and 1.2 km on the southern fringes to IIM-Calcutta, has now finished the topographical survey. needed to finalize the alignment of the proposed Eden Gardens metro line. "Such surveys are typically conducted to ensure the project is feasible and well-planned. They help in understanding the terrain, soil conditions, and other relevant factors crucial to determining the alignment, construction methods, and overall project cost," said an engineer.

The tunnel boring machines (TBMs) will curve past the East-West Metro (Green line) Esplanade station, cross over to Raj Bhavan's edge (covering around 250 m of the garden area) before curving across the road to the Eden Gardens station, which will come up on the site opposite Gate No 1. Based on the survey, the best (shortest) alignment will be mapped out," a Railways official said. RVNL intends to deploy the same TBMs, Durga and Divya, being used for the construction of the 1.7 km Kidderpore-Victoria Memorial section. The borers will be launched again for the second drive (950 m from Victoria Memorial to Park Street). The 640 m from Park Street to Esplanade will be built in cut-and-cover method (building tunnels inside underground trenches) since most of this stretch is free of infringement. From Esplanade, the TBMs will be launched for the third time to burrow and build the 1.6 km to Eden Gardens station. This section, too, has no overhead structures. TOI on Jan 12 had reported that " Kolkata metro plans to extend Joka-Esplanade Purple Line to Eden Gardens." By extending the Purple line to Eden Gardens, Metro Railway is looking to draw passengers from the BBD Bag area, offices on Strand Road, Babughat and Calcutta High Court. Sports enthusiasts can simply walk to the proposed Eden Gardens station to access the city's lifeline or the North-South (Blue) corridor, by availing the Esplanade interchange. The earlier plan was to link Eden Gardens to Esplanade by a long subway.

Q1 Earnings Review: Home Furnishings Stocks Led by Purple (NASDAQ:PRPL)
Earnings results often indicate what direction a company will take in the months ahead. With Q1 behind us, let's have a look at Purple (NASDAQ:PRPL) and its peers. A healthy housing market is good for furniture demand as more consumers are buying, renting, moving, and renovating. On the other hand, periods of economic weakness or high interest rates discourage home sales and can squelch demand. In addition, home furnishing companies must contend with shifting consumer preferences such as the growing propensity to buy goods online, including big things like mattresses and sofas that were once thought to be immune from e-commerce competition. The 6 home furnishings stocks we track reported a satisfactory Q1. As a group, revenues were in line with analysts' consensus estimates while next quarter's revenue guidance was 0.8% above. Thankfully, share prices of the companies have been resilient as they are up 6.2% on average since the latest earnings results. Best Q1: Purple (NASDAQ:PRPL) Founded by two brothers, Purple (NASDAQ:PRPL) creates sleep and home comfort products such as mattresses, pillows, and bedding accessories. Purple reported revenues of $104.2 million, down 13.2% year on year. This print was in line with analysts' expectations, and overall, it was a very strong quarter for the company with an impressive beat of analysts' EBITDA estimates. "Our first quarter performance reflects continued progress against our strategic priorities to stabilize and strengthen the business, and position Purple for long-term success," said Rob DeMartini, CEO of Purple Innovation. Purple scored the highest full-year guidance raise but had the slowest revenue growth of the whole group. Investor expectations, however, were likely higher than Wall Street's published projections, leaving some wishing for even better results (analysts' consensus estimates are those published by big banks and advisory firms, not the investors who make buy and sell decisions).

Market Update In response to the Fed's rate hikes in 2022 and 2023, inflation has been gradually trending down from its post-pandemic peak, trending closer to the Fed's 2% target. Despite higher borrowing costs, the economy has avoided flashing recessionary signals. This is the much-desired soft landing that many investors hoped for. The recent rate cuts (0.5% in September and 0.25% in November 2024) have bolstered the stock market, making 2024 a strong year for equities. Donald Trump's presidential win in November sparked additional market gains, sending indices to record highs in the days following his victory. However, debates continue over possible tariffs and corporate tax adjustments, raising questions about economic stability in 2025. Want to invest in winners with rock-solid fundamentals?
