HONOR 400 Lite: The Torch Has Been Passed, Now It's Running Its Own Race
The HONOR 200 Lite didn't just win on price, it won the country over by delivering where it mattered. It topped post-paid smartphone sales across all brackets in 2024, proving that South Africans don't fall for hype. We choose what holds up.
Now, the HONOR 400 Lite picks up the baton with real upgrades to battery life, camera performance, everyday usability and sleek styling, all wrapped in a body so slim it's almost unfair. And it's already proving it can keep pace with the energy, ambition and variety of Mzansi life.
One phone. One day. Five different lives. Still going.
Let's imagine the HONOR 400 Lite moving through a full day across five people, each with a different rhythm, role and reason to expect more from their phone.
· 6:00 AM – The Early Starter
A personal trainer grabs the phone on the way to gym. It's light at just 171g, responsive and glove friendly. One press of the AI Camera Button and a sunrise snap hit social before the first client even arrives.
· 9:00 AM – The Hustler on Campus
A student scans a timetable using Google Lens. The 6.7-inch AMOLED screen stays bright and clear, even under harsh morning light. At 3,500 nits, it's built for outdoor clarity. Timetables, notes and admin? No problem.
· 1:00 PM – The Creative in Motion
A small business owner jumps between design tools, messages and delivery tracking. There's no lag. That's the MediaTek Dimensity 7025-Ultra processor, backed by up to 24GB of RAM with HONOR RAM Turbo.
· 4:00 PM – The Family Navigator
A nurse turned road trip driver heads north with Maps running the whole way. The 5,230mAh battery still shows over 40 percent. No low-battery warnings. No stress.
· 11:30 PM – The Night Owl
A teacher winds down, scrolling messages and playing a podcast. The Circadian Night Display softens the screen light, giving tired eyes a break. Still no charge needed.
'The HONOR 400 Lite builds on the trust we earned with the HONOR 200 Lite. We do realise that every device must echo and amplify this benchmark – which is why we made sure the HONOR 400 Lite could rise to the challenges of a fast-evolving South African lifestyle. Our mission is to remain connected to the hearts and minds of South Africa by ensuring that the tech is there and ready, whether you're on the move, creating, connecting or just making the most of every day,' says, Fred Zhou, CEO, HONOR South Africa.
The HONOR 400 Lite is made to move, switch and stay charged and looking the part in Mars Green and Velvet Grey. It suits people, not just profiles – with features that go the distance without making a scene.

Need to Sign or Scan Papers? Here's How To Use Your iPhone's Hidden Document Scanner
These days, it's pretty easy to digitally sign important documents, but sometimes you just need to sign a physical piece of paper and scan it to send over email. When you just have to put your signature on a physical document and digitally upload it, and you don't have a standalone scanner handy, the easiest method to do it is right in your pocket — using your iPhone to turn images into PDFs. Yes, your iPhone doubles as a document scanner. It may not produce images as sharp as a dedicated scanner would, but it does a respectable job, even when the phone is positioned at odd angles trying to capture text. iPhones have had this hidden feature since iOS 11 launched in 2017, but as the cameras built into Apple phones have improved, so has their ability to take decent scans of documents and turn them into PDFs you can email. You won't need to download additional software or pay for a third-party app — Apple's Notes app that comes preinstalled on iPhones does the trick. The good news is that it's quick and easy to scan a document, save it, and send it wherever it needs to go. Keep in mind that the new iOS 18 changes the icons you use to select document scanning, which we've noted below. If you've upgraded to iOS 18, the process will be different, but we'll walk you through it. Here's how to scan a document with your iPhone. James Martin/CNET Scan a document with your iPhone or iPad To scan a document with your iPhone or iPad, first place the document on a flat surface in a well-lit area. Open up the Notes app and either open an existing note or start a new one by tapping the New Note button in the bottom right corner (pencil-in-square icon). On iOS 17 versions and older, tap the Camera button at the bottom of the screen (or if you're editing a note, the same Camera icon will be above the keyboard) and tap Scan Documents. If you're on iOS 18, instead of a Camera icon, you'll tap the Attachments button (the paperclip icon) and likewise tap Scan Documents. This will open a version of the Camera app that just looks for documents. Once you position your iPhone over the document that needs scanning and in view of the camera, a yellow rectangular layer will automatically appear over the document showing approximately what will be captured. Hover over the document for a few seconds and the iPhone should automatically capture and scan the document, but you can also tap the Shutter button in the bottom center. James Martin/CNET Sign, share or save your scanned document Once you've captured a document, you can tap it, and others you've captured in the same session, to edit them before saving them. You can also tap Retake in the top right corner to start again. When you edit the document, you can re-crop it from the original photo captured (if you need to tweak its edges), switch between color filters (color, black and white, grayscale or the unedited original photo). Then you can save the scanned document. Once it's saved into a note, you can tap the Markup button (circled pen icon) at the bottom to sketch or scribble with different colors. If you tap the Add button on the bottom right (plus sign icon), you can add text, your signature, shapes or even stickers. To send or locally save the document, tap Share button at the top (the square-and-arrow icon) to send it via Messages or apps, copy it, save it locally to the Files app, print it out via linked printer or other options. How to export your scanned document as a PDF Understandably, you may want to send your scanned document as a PDF. Tap the Share button at the top (the square-and-arrow icon) and scroll down below the contact and app roulettes to the additional list of options. The easiest way to send your scanned document as a PDF is a bit convoluted: among the aforementioned list, tap Print and then tap the Share button at the top (square-and-arrow icon) once more -- this will share your PDF-converted document. Then pick your share method of choice, most easily via email, though you can also upload it to cloud storage or send it via text message if you want. You can also use a third-party app to convert your document to PDF if you so choose. Scroll down past the Print button to find your app of choice. For instance, if you have the Adobe Acrobat app downloaded to your device, you can select Convert to PDF in Acrobat to do so -- though you'll need to wade past several screens attempting to upsell you on Adobe subscriptions first. Why can't I find the camera button to scan documents? If you're running iOS 18, the Camera button has been replaced with an Attachments button (paperclip symbol). It should function just the same: Tap it and choose Scan Documents from the dropdown menu If you can't see the Camera or the Attachments button, check to see if you've opened the note in either the iCloud section or the On My iPhone section — you'll only be able to scan documents and save them in either of these places. If you can't tell, tap Folders in the top left corner of the Notes screen and select either iCloud or On My iPhone. The documents scanner is just one of many unnoticed iPhone features that come prepackaged in Apple's handsets, often nested in the apps that come with your phone. Some hidden iOS 18 features add even more surprising capabilities already on your iPhone. But you can also find ways to do other tasks, like making a GIF on your iPhone, using third-party apps and through your browser.

AI Creates PowerPoints at McKinsey Replacing Junior Workers
Over 75% of McKinsey employees now use the internal AI tool Lilli, which safely handles confidential information. McKinsey consultants are using the firm's proprietary AI platform to take over tasks that have traditionally been handled by junior employees. Kate Smaje, McKinsey's global leader of technology and AI, told Bloomberg on Monday that McKinsey employees are increasingly tapping into Lilli, the internal AI platform the firm launched in 2023. While employees are permitted to use ChatGPT internally, Lilli is the only platform that allows them to input confidential client data safely. Related: Salesforce Has Used AI to Reduce Personnel Costs By $50 Million This Year. Here's Which Roles Are Affected. Over 75% of McKinsey's 43,000 employees are now using Lilli monthly, Smaje disclosed. Lilli was named after Lillian Dombrowski, the first woman hired by McKinsey in 1945. Through Lilli, McKinsey consultants can create a PowerPoint slideshow through a prompt and modify the tone of the presentation with a tool called "Tone of Voice" to ensure that the text aligns with the firm's writing style. They can also draft proposals for client projects while maintaining the firm's standards, find internal subject matter experts, and research industry trends. Lilli has advanced enough to take over tasks typically assigned to junior employees, but Smaje says that doesn't mean McKinsey is going to hire fewer junior analysts. "Do we need armies of business analysts creating PowerPoints? No, the technology could do that," Smaje told Bloomberg. "It's not necessarily that I'm going to have fewer of them [analysts], but they're going to be doing the things that are more valuable to our clients." McKinsey told Business Insider that Lilli was trained on the firm's entire intellectual property, encompassing over 100,000 documents and interviews across the firm's nearly 100-year history. McKinsey employees who use Lilli turn to it 17 times per week on average, a McKinsey senior partner told BI. A case study published on McKinsey's website shows that Lilli answers over half a million prompts every month, saving workers 30% of the time they would have spent on gathering and synthesizing information. Related: The CEO of $61 Billion Anthropic Says AI Will Take Over a Crucial Part of Software Engineers' Jobs Within a Year Consulting firms have been tapping into AI for years. Bain consultants have access to Sage, an AI chatbot powered by OpenAI. At Boston Consulting Group, employees use an AI tool called Deckster to fine-tune their PowerPoint presentations. Meanwhile, at other companies, AI is taking over tasks once completed by human workers. IBM CEO Arvind Krishna said last month that the company replaced hundreds of human resources staff with AI, then used the freed-up resources to hire more programmers and salespeople. A report from SignalFire, a venture capital firm that tracks over 650 million employees on LinkedIn, found that new graduates accounted for just 7% of new hires in 2024 at big tech companies, down 25% from 2023, as AI takes over entry-level tasks.
