Jony Ive has already shown his OpenAI device to Laurene Powell Jobs and she is impressed
Some reports suggest the form factor might resemble an iPod Shuffle, something you could wear around the neck. Cameras and microphones onboard the device would make it contextually aware of its surroundings.It was a joint interview where Ive was also present, though he did not share any information about the device. What he – and Powell Jobs – did share was how the technology that he built, like the iPhone, also had a dark side, referring to the unintended but harmful effects of smartphone addiction, especially amongst the youth. Both Ive and Powell Jobs hope this new device can offer a more positive and human-centric approach. The first device in the family of OpenAI devices is expected to be rolled out sometime by late 2026.

Residents seek underpasses on NH 7 to address safety concerns
1 2 3 Panchkula: Residents and welfare associations have raised an urgent demand for the construction of two underpasses at accident-prone locations on the NH-07 (Panchkula–Yamunanagar highway), citing increasing number of accidents in recent months. Residents said the first proposed underpass is at the junction where Bander Ghati Road meets the highway, near the Jhuriwala dumping ground. This T-point has become a notorious black spot from a road safety perspective. Several casualties were reported here in the past few months due to the absence of safe crossing infrastructure and poor visibility at the junction. Locals and commuters have continuously flagged the issue, demanding immediate intervention by authorities. The second critical location is at the junction of the dividing road of sectors 27 and 28, which also intersects with the highway. Residents of both sectors, especially Sector 28, face a risk while accessing Ramgarh and adjoining areas. Many are forced to use the wrong side of the service lane due to lack of a safe and structured passage. A formal request has already been submitted by the Sector 28 RWA to the Panchkula Metropolitan Development Authority, which is expected to take up the issue with NHAI. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like American Investor Warren Buffett Recommends: 5 Books For Turning Your Life Around Blinkist: Warren Buffett's Reading List Undo "We have been facing some challenges due to the lack of a road cut under the bridge at the road dividing sectors 27/28. The current layout of the highway without a road cut at this point forces us to take a longer route to reach our destinations. This not only increases our travel time but also contributes to unnecessary fuel consumption and traffic congestion. A road cut at the mentioned location would greatly alleviate these issues and improve the overall connectivity of our sector. We request you to consider our proposal and look into the feasibility of creating a road cut under the bridge at the road dividing sectors 27 and 28 in Panchkula," wrote Sector 27 and 28 RWAs presidents in their plea to PMDA.

Foxconn's Bengaluru unit commences operation with iPhone 17 production
By Prasoon Srivastava New Delhi: Taiwanese electronics giant Foxconn 's Bengaluru factory, its second-largest manufacturing unit, has commenced operation with production of iPhone 17 recently at a small scale, sources aware of the development said. Foxconn is the largest manufacturer of iPhones, and the second-biggest facility outside China in Devanahalli near Bengaluru, being set up at an investment of $2.8 billion (about ₹25,000 crore). " Foxconn Bengaluru unit has commenced operation with the production of iPhone 17. This is in addition to the production of iPhone 17 at its Chennai unit," a source aware of the development said. An email query sent to Apple and Foxconn elicited no reply on the development. The production had faced a brief interruption after hundreds of Chinese engineers went back abruptly. However, Foxconn has been able to get experts from various destinations, including Taiwan, to address the gap. According to multiple sources, Apple plans to increase iPhone production to 60 million units this year from about 35-40 million units in 2024-25. Apple assembled 60 per cent more iPhones, worth an estimated $22 billion, in India in the year ended March 31, 2025. The company's CEO Tim Cook, after the financial result announcement on July 31, said the majority of the iPhones sold in the US in June 2025 originated from India. Cook, during the second-quarter earnings call, had announced that all iPhones sold in the US in the June quarter will be shipped from India. According to an analysis by S&P Global, iPhone sales in the US were 75.9 million units in 2024, with March exports from India at 3.1 million units, suggesting a need to double shipments either through new capacity or redirecting shipments bound for the domestic market. Apple's supplies within India grew by 21.5 per cent annually to 5.9 million units in the first half of 2025, with iPhone 16 being the highest-shipped model across the country during the period. During the second quarter, Apple's iPhone supplies in India grew 19.7 per cent year-on-year in the June 2025 quarter, clocking 7.5 per cent market share in the country's smartphone market. The overall smartphone market in India during the June quarter was led by Chinese smartphone maker Vivo, which captured 19 per cent share, as per IDC.
