Geeky Gadgets16-07-2025
The iPhone 17 is poised to deliver a blend of refined design and advanced technology, setting a new benchmark for smartphones. With updates spanning aesthetics, performance, and usability, this next-generation device is expected to enhance how you interact with your phone. The video below from iJustine gives us more details on the most anticipated features and changes, offering a clear perspective on what makes the iPhone 17 stand out.

Apple is reportedly reimagining its design approach with the iPhone 17. One of the most striking updates could be the horizontal rear camera layout, a departure from the diagonal arrangement seen in recent models. This change is expected to accommodate a larger camera bump, which may also lead to repositioning the MagSafe charging coil and Apple logo for improved functionality on the back panel.
For the Pro models, Apple might shift from titanium to aluminum frames, resulting in a lighter yet durable build. This aluminum-and-glass combination could enhance portability while maintaining structural integrity. Additionally, thinner frames and reduced bezels are expected to create a sleeker profile, offering a more immersive display experience. A new light sky blue color option is rumored to join the classic gold and silver finishes, adding a modern and stylish touch to the lineup. Performance Upgrades: Speed Meets Efficiency
The iPhone 17 is anticipated to deliver substantial performance improvements, driven by the rumored A19 Pro chip. This next-generation processor is expected to provide faster speeds and improved energy efficiency, making sure seamless performance for a wide range of tasks. Complementing this is Apple's proprietary Wi-Fi 7 chip, which could enable faster and more stable connectivity, enhancing browsing, streaming, and online gaming experiences.
With 12GB of RAM and an upgraded cooling system, the iPhone 17 is designed to handle multitasking and resource-intensive applications effortlessly. Battery life is another area of focus, with a larger capacity battery expected to extend usage time. Whether you're gaming, streaming, or working, these upgrades aim to keep you powered throughout the day with minimal interruptions. Camera Enhancements: A Leap in Mobile Photography
The iPhone 17 is set to elevate mobile photography with significant camera upgrades. The front-facing camera is rumored to jump from 12MP to 24MP, promising sharper selfies and improved low-light performance. On the rear, the telephoto lens may see an upgrade to 48MP, delivering greater detail and clarity for zoomed-in shots.
For video enthusiasts, the iPhone 17 could introduce dual video recording, allowing simultaneous capture from multiple cameras. Additionally, 8K video recording support is expected, offering ultra-high-definition quality for professional-grade content. These enhancements aim to cater to both casual users and content creators, making the iPhone 17 a versatile tool for photography and videography. Display Innovations: Immersive Visuals
The iPhone 17's display is rumored to feature a 6.6-inch panel with a 120Hz refresh rate, making sure smoother scrolling and more responsive touch interactions. Thin bezels across all models are expected to maximize screen space, creating a more immersive viewing experience. While the Dynamic Island interface is likely to receive updates, the overall front display design is expected to retain its familiar look, balancing innovation with user familiarity. New Features: Everyday Convenience Redefined
Faster MagSafe charging speeds are among the rumored innovations, potentially reducing the time needed to wirelessly charge your device. Another exciting possibility is the introduction of an iPhone 17 Air model, a lightweight variant designed for users seeking a thinner, more portable device. However, this model may feature a single-lens rear camera, focusing on simplicity over advanced photography capabilities. Color Options and Durability: Balancing Style and Strength
The rumored light sky blue color option is generating excitement, offering a fresh alternative to traditional hues. However, the thinner frame design, particularly for the iPhone 17 Air, raises questions about durability. While Apple is known for using resilient materials, some users may wonder if the trade-off between sleekness and structural integrity will affect long-term reliability. Apple's track record suggests that durability will remain a priority, but this is an area to watch as more details emerge. Looking Ahead: What to Expect
The iPhone 17 represents a significant step forward for Apple, combining aesthetic refinements with powerful hardware upgrades. From its redesigned camera layout to its enhanced performance and display features, this device is shaping up to be a compelling option for both tech enthusiasts and everyday users. As more information becomes available, the iPhone 17 is expected to solidify its position as one of the most anticipated releases of the year, pushing the boundaries of what a smartphone can achieve.

MrBeast CEO and 'Beast Games' winner rally brand partners and rare disease support on Wall Street

MrBeast's new CEO hit Wall Street Wednesday as YouTuber Jimmy Donaldson's media empire looks to develop long-term brand partnerships and, in turn, unlock more funding for its charitable content. Venture capitalist Jeff Housenbold took over MrBeast leadership last summer with a mandate to professionalize an ever-growing entertainment company. YouTube's most popular creator had reached record audience levels far outpacing its startup days, while vowing to reassess its internal culture amid multiple controversies. But, despite joining Nasdaq 's closing bell ceremony on Wednesday, Housenbold said their strategic plan does not currently include a public offering — or any active funding rounds. 'Do I want to make banger content? Yeah. That's cool," Housenbold told The Associated Press. "But what can we do with that banger content? Generate profits, make a sustainable business that gives us greater ability to impact people's lives around the world.' 'We're marching quickly to profitability, so we don't have to raise additional capital,' he added. Instead, MrBeast is focused on securing multi-year exclusive advertising deals as opposed to single-video brand partnerships. With 416 million subscribers and legions of impressionable young fans, Housenbold argued that MrBeast is uniquely positioned to deliver more bang for companies' marketing bucks by pointing that 'firehouse of attention' at them. Along the way, Housenbold said he is encouraging Donaldson to tout the channel's charitable works — which often feature quantifiable stunts such as building wells, removing ocean plastic or covering cataract surgery costs. The company, in his view, 'can do good while doing well.' 'The more people who like us 'cause we do good, the more people watch our videos," he said. 'The more people watch our videos, the more we're able to drive in fees from our advertising partners... the more we can invest in more content to do more good in the world.' New projects such as the Amazon Prime reality show and a James Patterson novel from HarperCollins aim to diversify the genders and ages of his audience. Housenbold said that base has historically consisted mostly of 8-to-25-year-olds and men. But Housenbold acknowledged missteps in last year's production of 'Beast Games," which prompted allegations of 'unsafe' conditions from some contestants who said an unorganized set led to injuries, irregular food provision and lacking access to medication. While describing most of those reports as 'inaccurate,' Housenbold said they were 'better prepared' for the second season's recently wrapped shoot. 'Building sets for a 10-episode show is different than a 22-minute YouTube video," he said. "The scale, the size, the sophistication, the safety, the security, the cost effectiveness of doing that. We didn't staff up enough for Beast Games.' Ringing Nasdaq's closing bell Wednesday with Housenbold was the winner of the $10 million grand prize awarded in that inaugural 'Beast Games' season. Jeffrey Allen, the father of a child with creatine transporter deficiency, has promised to put some of his winnings toward existing treatments and research for a cure to the rare genetic disorder. He said the Association for Creatine Deficiencies, where he is a board member, added 1,000 new donors in the weeks following the final 'Beast Games' episodes' release. He hopes Wednesday's visit will draw more attention and money to all rare diseases. 'This is where companies that are bringing true change to the marketplace come to listen to other companies," Allen said. "So, there's no better place for a budding rare disease nonprofit to come and show, 'Hey we're trying to change the world, too.'' ___ Associated Press coverage of philanthropy and nonprofits receives support through the AP's collaboration with The Conversation US, with funding from Lilly Endowment Inc.

Mercedes is in danger of becoming the Burberry of the car world. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 5 With this CLA, Mercedes is in danger of becoming the Burberry of the car world Credit: Supplied 5 There are 142 three-pointed stars in that front grille Credit: Supplied 5 The Mercedes CLA offers luxurious design, advanced technology and innovative features Credit: Supplied A leeetle bit chavvy. Just look at all the three-pointed stars on the new CLA. It's absolutely coated in them. There are 142 in that front grille, another 158 in the fancy glass sunroof, plus many more on the wheels, lights and dashboard. I gave up counting at 330. THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY!!! They should stick a MERCEDES sun strip on it. Y'know, just in case someone thinks it's a BMW. Strip away all that Burberryness and you're left with a truly excellent motor car. The most efficient Mercedes ever. The most intelligent Mercedes ever. Yet it's also the cheapest electric Mercedes ever. Mercedes reveals its new luxury EV with 'superscreen' passengers can play video games or watch Netflix on while on move It's got a 484-mile battery by the WLTP test. We nudged 400 in the real world. A clever two-speed auto gearbox for added efficiency. All sorts of aero tricks, including underbody wheel spoilers, to help it slice through the air. Rapid 800v charging to suck up 200 miles of juice in just ten minutes. So it's a proper long-range cruiser that's easy to live with. There's a video camera above that 14in central screen for Teams meetings. You can watch YouTube and Disney+. Play Fortnite and Angry Birds. All of the above when parked up, obviously. There's a third passenger screen coming later that will cover up some of those bleedin' stars. The 'Hey Mercedes' personal assistant wants to be your friend. We asked her to 'play Raye'. She did. We asked her to 'name that statue of the naked ladies to our left'. She did. We asked her: 'Should I buy a Mercedes CLA over a BMW?' She's been taught well. She replied: 'Choosing between a Mercedes CLA over a BMW ultimately depends on your preferences and needs. The Mercedes CLA offers luxurious design, advanced technology and innovative features. 'If you seek more details about the Mercedes CLA feel free to ask.' Hang on. I'm having a proper conversation with a car. Like Michael Knight and KITT. Just not chasing baddies. 5 The CLA comes with all sorts of aero tricks, including underbody wheel spoilers, to help it slice through the air. Credit: Supplied 5 Oh look - another 158 three-pointed stars in the fancy glass sunroof Credit: Supplied If you're rubbish at parking, no stress. Press a button and watch it shimmy in and out of tight spaces on its own. It's the first Mercedes to have a front trunk, 100 litres of extra storage space under the bonnet. Out on the open road, CLA is everything you'd expect a Merc to be. Quiet. Sophisticated. Effortless. And so hovercraft-smooth you'd think it has air suspension. It doesn't. Steel. That's engineering at its best for you. Acceleration is nicely calibrated. Not silly fast. But enough. AMG will add a bit of spice later. Actually, that brings me nicely to other versions. There's a smaller 335-mile battery on the way, an estate, 4WDs, and a new 1.5-litre petrol hybrid for those not ready to switch to electric yet. Bonus. The petrol doesn't have all the illuminated stars on the front grille because it needs more cooling. So it's less Burberry. Tone down all the bling and I'd give it five stars. KEY FACTS: MERCEDES CLA 250+ SPORT Price: £45,615 Battery: 85kWh Power: 272hp 0-62mph: 6.7 secs Top speed: 130mph Range: 484 miles Charging: 22 mins Out: September

Apple beats US appeal claiming it shortchanged customers on iCloud storage

July 23 (Reuters) - A U.S. federal appeals court on Wednesday rejected claims by Apple (AAPL.O), opens new tab customers that the iPhone maker gave them less iCloud data storage than they paid for when upgrading. In a 3-0 decision, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco said reasonable consumers in the proposed class action would not have been misled by Apple's promises about storage capacity in its iCloud+ plans. The plaintiff Lisa Bodenburg said she paid $2.99 a month for 200 GB of storage, believing Apple would add it to the 5 GB that all iCloud customers receive, and was shortchanged because Apple gave her only 200 GB of total storage, not 205 GB. Circuit Judge Milan Smith, however said Bodenburg "received exactly what Apple promised her" when the Cupertino, California-based company offered "incremental" or "supplemental" storage, on top of the 5 GB she got for free. He cited dismissals of other cases based on "unreasonable assumptions," including that Diet Dr. Pepper would aid in weight loss, and the net weight on a lip balm label failed to reveal that the dispenser's design left some balm inaccessible. "Apple's statements are not false and deceptive merely because [they] may be unreasonably misunderstood by an insignificant and unrepresentative segment of consumers," Smith wrote. Lawyers for Bodenburg did not immediately respond to requests for comment. The decision upheld a May 2024 dismissal by U.S. District Judge Trina Thompson in San Francisco. The case is Bodenburg v Apple Inc, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, No. 24-3335.
