PFF lists Broncos' reason for optimism in 2025
Pro Football Focus writer Dalton Wasserman recently published an article listing reasons for optimism for each NFL team. The reasons range from the Atlanta Falcons getting a full season with Michael Penix Jr, to the Jacksonville Jaguars and how they will utilize rookie Travis Hunter. But Wasserman's optimism for the Broncos this season focuses on this side of the ball: defense. Wasserman stated that with the defense revolving around Pat Surtain and the addition of Dre Greenlaw, he ponders if the Broncos can be the best defense in the NFL. 'Led by NFL Defensive Player of the Year Pat Surtain II and several new additions, the Broncos could boast the NFL's best defense in 2025. The key additions include former 49ers Talanoa Hufanga and Dre Greenlaw, as well as first-round pick Jahdae Barron. Hufanga should be an excellent box safety complement to incumbent free safety Brandon Jones. Greenlaw should be able to help the Broncos in coverage, as he owns the fourth-best PFF coverage grade among linebackers since he entered the NFL. Barron led all qualified Power Four cornerbacks with a 91.1 PFF coverage grade at Texas last season.' The Broncos have a strong case to be ranked as the NFL's top defense in 2025. Last season, the Broncos ranked third in points allowed per game (18.3), so they have a fighting chance with their new additions. If you want to check out the remainder of the list, click here.

iPhone 17 may feature a display bigger than iPhone 16
Apple's next-generation iPhone lineup could see a significant upgrade to its standard model, with fresh leaks suggesting the iPhone 17 will receive both a bigger screen and a smoother display. According to well-known tipster Digital Chat Station, who shared the details on Chinese microblogging platform Weibo, the base iPhone 17 will be fitted with a 6.3-inch screen, matching the size of the current iPhone 16 Pro's isn't the first time rumours have pointed towards a size increase. Previous reports have hinted that Apple is planning a notable display overhaul for its 2025 iPhone lineup, and the latest claims only strengthen that narrative. If accurate, it would mark a major step forward for Apple's non-Pro devices, which have typically lagged behind in both screen size and further weight to the leak, a recent listing for Spigen's EZ Fit tempered glass on Amazon India briefly mentioned compatibility with the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro, both listed alongside the iPhone 16 Pro. Though the references were swiftly removed, they implied that all three devices will feature similarly sized 6.3-inch displays. Beyond the larger size, the display on the standard iPhone 17 is also expected to get a long-overdue performance boost. Apple's non-Pro iPhones, including the upcoming iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, still use a 60Hz refresh rate — a noticeable drawback compared to rivals offering smoother 120Hz panels. That could change with the iPhone 17, which is now tipped to feature a 120Hz LTPO OLED screen, bringing it in line with Apple's higher-end upgrade would dramatically improve day-to-day use, making scrolling, animations, and interactions feel far smoother. However, there's a catch. While the refresh rate may be upgraded across the range, features like Always-On Display and adaptive refresh rate — which dynamically shifts between 1Hz and 120Hz — will reportedly remain exclusive to the Pro models. Apple appears keen to maintain a clear feature gap between its standard and Pro devices, even as it trickles down premium a related development, both the iPhone 17 and the rumoured iPhone 17 Air are expected to be fitted with Samsung's latest M14 OLED panels. Apple previously used this cutting-edge display technology in the iPhone 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max, and it now seems the company is preparing to roll out the advanced screens across its entire 2025 lineup. These OLED panels promise improved brightness, energy efficiency, and longevity — all welcome improvements for users looking to hold onto their iPhones for the long together, these updates suggest that the iPhone 17 could be Apple's most significant refresh of the standard iPhone in recent years. By aligning more closely with its Pro siblings in terms of screen size and refresh rate — while still maintaining exclusive features at the top end — Apple may be positioning the iPhone 17 as a compelling mid-point for users who want more, without paying Pro-level a few months still to go before Apple's typical September launch window, more leaks are likely to emerge. But for now, it seems that 2025 could finally be the year the standard iPhone gets the display it deserves.- Ends

iPhone 17 display to be larger than iPhone 16?: Expected to come with big display, upgraded performance, and more
Apple iPhone 17 leaks: iPhone 17 display size leak has just dropped, stirring excitement as reliable sources suggest Apple's base model will grow to 6.3 inches, matching the Pro's screen size for the first time . Notably, this display upgrade comes alongside a potential shift to ProMotion's 120 Hz refresh rate, promising buttery‑smooth scrolling and enhanced gaming experiences. As rumors swirl, the growing consensus points to a more polished design direction for iPhone 17 and possibly its new Air variant, marking Apple's most significant visual leap in years. If you're after a larger, more responsive screen, this could be the quiet game-changer of Apple's next flagship. Stick around as we dive into what this could mean for users and accessories alike. Apple iPhone 17 expected launch timeline Apple usually follows a consistent launch schedule, and the iPhone 17 base model is expected to be revealed between September 11-13, 2025. Pre-orders could begin immediately after the official unveiling, and if Apple sticks to its traditional timeline, the iPhone 17 series may go on sale around September 19, 2025. iPhone 17 display leaks According to a Weibo tweet by tipster Digital Chat Station (translated from Chinese), the iPhone 17 will have a larger 6.3-inch screen. The iPhone 17 looks to be getting the same treatment as the iPhone 16 Pro, which Apple resized to 6.3 inches last year. This information was previously leaked online in several leaks that allude to significant screen improvements for Apple's upcoming smartphone. Amazon India unintentionally revealed earlier this week that Spigen's EZ Fit tempered glass would work with the iPhone 16 Pro and the "iPhone 17" and "iPhone 17 Pro" in their offering. Although Amazon has subsequently removed the references to these phones, the listing still states that all three models would have a 6.3-inch screen. Previous rumors that reference analysts and other sources claim that Apple will improve the iPhone 17's display's performance and size. Every non-Pro model from Apple, including the most recent iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus, has a 60Hz display. It is anticipated that Apple's regular iPhone 17 and the rumored iPhone 17 Air variant will come with 120Hz LTPO OLED panels this year. According to reports, Apple will restrict the always-on display and other capabilities that depend on Apple's adaptive refresh rate, which runs between 1Hz and 120Hz, to the iPhone 17 Pro models, even though a 120Hz screen may eventually make its way into the company's basic iPhone model this year.

Bears All-Quarter Century Team: Safeties
Twenty-five years of Chicago Bears football are in the books since the turn of the century. Since the calendar turned over to 2000, the Bears have seen some success, but also plenty of woeful stretches. Early on, Chicago became a defensive force, claiming four division titles and reaching only their second Super Bowl in franchise history from 2000 to 2010. Since then, however, a 14-year playoff victory drought that is still ongoing and a one-sided fight with their rival Green Bay Packers have taken the spotlight. For all the ups and downs the Bears have seen, however, they had plenty of talent over the years across offense and defense. Multiple former Bears players are already in the Hall of Fame, while many more provided years of incredible play in the navy and orange. Here at Bears Wire, we're celebrating the best Bears players at each position over the last 25 years. Rounding out the defense are the safeties, which feature some big ballhawks and playmakers who made a lasting impact. Mike Brown No safety has embodied the Chicago Bears better this century than Mike Brown, who established himself as a leader on some of the league's best defenses in the 2000s. Brown, selected in the second round of the 2000 NFL draft, made an immediate impact as a starter his rookie season. In fact, he lost out on NFL Defensive Rookie of the Year to his fellow draft mate, Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher. Brown's best season came in his sophomore campaign, where he totaled a career-high five interceptions, including a league-high two pick sixes, a career-high 11 pass breakups, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery, and well as a career-high three sacks en route to a First-Team All-Pro bid. Brown had a nose for the football and always knew how to come away with a game-changing play to win it for his team. In his second season, Brown returned an interception for a touchdown in two consecutive overtime wins -- picking off a pass intended for San Francisco 49ers receiver Terell Owens in Week 7 and then intercepting Cleveland Browns quarterback Tim Couch in Week 8. Brown became the first player in NFL history to accomplish the feat, and he remains the only player to have back-to-back game-winning touchdown returns in overtime in league history. Brown had quite the impressive resume, including First-Team All Pro (2001), Second-Team All-Pro (2005), Pro Bowl honors (2005), PFWA's All-Rookie Team and 100 greatest Bears of All-Time (63rd). Brown played his first nine seasons with Chicago (2000-08) before a final season with the Kansas City Chiefs in 2009. Eddie Jackson While Mike Brown stands alone as the team's best safety this century, Eddie Jackson certainly embodied that dominant, playmaking mindset when he was selected in the fourth round of the 2017 NFL draft. Jackson had a breakout year in his second season, where he posted a career-high six interceptions (including two pick sixes), a career-high 15 pass breakups, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery (for a touchdown) and one sack en route to First-Team All-Pro and Pro Bowl nods. In his prime, Jackson was one of the league's most dominant safeties where he thrived taking the ball away. Jackson is tied with linebacker Lance Briggs for third in franchise history with six career defensive touchdowns, trailing only cornerback Charles Tillman (9) and safety Mike Brown (7). Unfortunately, after inking a well-deserved contact extension in 2019, Jackson's play declined as five of those defensive touchdowns happened in his first two seasons. While he experienced a resurgent year in 2022, a season-ending foot injury ended his season and his Bears career and he was released ahead of the 2024 season due to his large salary cap hit. While Jackson's stock fell in the 2017 draft, due to a knee injury, he started all 100 games he played in seven games with Chicago, where he totaled 459 tackles, including 14 tackles for loss, 15 interceptions, 44 pass breakups, 10 forced fumbles, six fumble recoveries and six defensive touchdowns. Mike Green Mike Brown and Eddie Jackson are the clear-cut top safeties so far this century for the Bears, so there was certainly a gap between them and our third safety, Mike Green. The former Mr. Irrelevant of the 2000 NFL draft, Green played his first six seasons with Chicago from 2000 to 2005. Green was part of a Bears draft class that included Hall of Fame linebacker Brian Urlacher and Brown, who both also made our All-Quarter Century team. Green started his career as a reserve and worked his way into a starting role with Chicago, where he eclipsed 100 total tackles in two seasons (2002, 2004) and proved to be a key contributor in the secondary. He finished his Bears career with 397 total tackles, 17 tackles for loss, six sacks, four interceptions, 25 pass breakups, seven forced fumbles and eight fumble recoveries. Green returned to a reserve role in 2005 and was eventually traded to the Seattle Seahawks in 2006, in exchange for a sixth-round pick. He spent two seasons with the Seahawks before wrapping his career with the Washington Redskins in 2008.

Facing DC fast charging issue on your MG Windsor EV? A fix is on its way
The Windsor Pro was recently launched by JSW MG Motor India. There are three new colour schemes on offer now. Check Offers MG Windsor EV has been topping the sales charts for electric vehicle for several months now. It has helped JSW MG Motor India gain significant market share in the EV sector. However, there are have been several instances where customers have faced issues with DC fast charging. This is a huge issue considering the fact that a customer can be left stranded somewhere. Now, the company has issued an update for the customers. It is related to the Battery Management System and the high-voltage battery. Customers would need to visit their nearest authorised service centre to get this update installed which could take between 30 minutes to 1 hour. In theory, this update should fix the DC fast charging issues that the Windsor EV is facing. However, we will have to wait for some time to confirm whether this fix has worked or not. MG Windsor EV The Windsor EV has a rather unusual face that may not instantly impress an onlooker. But the rounded contours here are tastefully glazed with LED elements and a tad of chrome at the very bottom. Even after the price hike, the Windsor EV continues to offer a tremendous amount of value for money. However, people have experienced severe range drop in scorching summers. Apart from this, there have been instances, where the plastic piece where the seat adjustment buttons are placed broke. There is a lack of clarity with the 360-degree parking camera and the infotainment system itself can be a bit slow at sometimes. However, the guidelines on offer are very precise. When the Pro variant of the Windsor EV was launched, the existing customers wanted to know whether they would get the upgraded battery pack or not. To this, the company replied that the new, larger battery pack cannot be fitted to the current Windsor because the mounting points are different. However, an option like this would have been nice at an additional cost. Also Read : MG Windsor Pro: Owner of Windsor EV reviews the upgraded model The Windsor EV is powered by a front wheel drive motor that puts out 134 bhp of max power and 200 Nm of peak torque, which is delivered immediately. The performance is immediate, and there are driving modes on offer as well along with regen modes. And there is a proper difference between all the driving and regen modes. Because the Windsor EV is based on an electric platform, it is spacious. There is ample amount of room for everybody and it can seat five persons at once quite easily. However, the rear suspension is on the stiffer side so which you will need to slow down on speed breakers and bumps, or it will send a jolt. However, the ride quality does improve when there is a load in the boot or there are passengers in the rear seat. This firmness is what provides Windsor EV a lot of stability and confidence out on the highways. Check out Upcoming EV Cars in India. First Published Date: 28 Jun 2025, 13:50 PM IST
