Nothing Phone 3 could ditch this iconic feature — RIP Glyph interface
We know that the Nothing Phone 3 is coming at some point in Q3, likely July, but this isn't stopping the company from teasing the phone in advance. Unfortunately, the latest teaser claims that the company will be making a controversial change — and killing the trademark Glyph interface.
Nothing posted the teaser on X, complete with the caption "We killed the Glyph interface." Nothing CEO Carl Pei also responded to the tweet with a simple "RIP," but no further elaboration on what this could potentially mean.

It's a strange thing to announce, considering how the Glyph interface helps Nothing phone visually stand apart from their competition. So I can't help but wonder whether this is some sort of publicity stunt, akin to Duolingo declaring that its owl mascot had died because nobody ever did their lessons.
A few days ago Nothing posted a different teaser claiming that "it's all in the details." Which I'm sure may have something to do with the recent Glyph interface obituary, but I'm unsure how exactly.
My best guess is that Nothing is replacing the current Glyph interface with something new, and possibly better. So while the Glyph interface could indeed be dead, the Nothing Phone 3 could feature something that works in a similar way — but with more features offered.
One of the biggest things to note about the Nothing Phone 3 is that we may see quite a large price hike. While Nothing devices are typically known for their low price tags, especially for the hardware, Carl Pei has confirmed the phone will cost £800 in the U.K.
While we don't know how that might convert to different currencies around the world, that's still the same price as an iPhone 16 in the U.K.. Which means Nothing seems to be targeting a much different market than its past offerings.

It's also rumored that the phone will be powered by the Snapdragon 8s Gen 3. While that's not the latest and best Snapdragon chipset, it's still a pretty powerful piece of hardware — with excellent performance and power efficiency. Not to mention AI prowess. But no matter which way you look at it, this is certainly a big step up from the 8+ Gen 1 chip found in the Nothing Phone 2.
There's still a lot we don't know at this stage, though. Nothing has a habit of teasing certain upgrades in the run-up to a phone's official launch. So be sure to check out our Nothing Phone 3 hub for all the latest news and rumors.

Does Duolingo (NASDAQ:DUOL) Deserve A Spot On Your Watchlist?
The excitement of investing in a company that can reverse its fortunes is a big draw for some speculators, so even companies that have no revenue, no profit, and a record of falling short, can manage to find investors. Sometimes these stories can cloud the minds of investors, leading them to invest with their emotions rather than on the merit of good company fundamentals. Loss-making companies are always racing against time to reach financial sustainability, so investors in these companies may be taking on more risk than they should. Despite being in the age of tech-stock blue-sky investing, many investors still adopt a more traditional strategy; buying shares in profitable companies like Duolingo (NASDAQ:DUOL). While profit isn't the sole metric that should be considered when investing, it's worth recognising businesses that can consistently produce it. AI is about to change healthcare. These 20 stocks are working on everything from early diagnostics to drug discovery. The best part - they are all under $10bn in marketcap - there is still time to get in early. Over the last three years, Duolingo has grown earnings per share (EPS) at as impressive rate from a relatively low point, resulting in a three year percentage growth rate that isn't particularly indicative of expected future performance. Thus, it makes sense to focus on more recent growth rates, instead. Impressively, Duolingo's EPS catapulted from US$1.09 to US$2.13, over the last year. It's not often a company can achieve year-on-year growth of 96%. The best case scenario? That the business has hit a true inflection point. It's often helpful to take a look at earnings before interest and tax (EBIT) margins, as well as revenue growth, to get another take on the quality of the company's growth. The good news is that Duolingo is growing revenues, and EBIT margins improved by 6.7 percentage points to 8.8%, over the last year. Ticking those two boxes is a good sign of growth, in our book. In the chart below, you can see how the company has grown earnings and revenue, over time. Click on the chart to see the exact numbers. Check out our latest analysis for Duolingo Of course the knack is to find stocks that have their best days in the future, not in the past. You could base your opinion on past performance, of course, but you may also want to check this interactive graph of professional analyst EPS forecasts for Duolingo. Since Duolingo has a market capitalisation of US$23b, we wouldn't expect insiders to hold a large percentage of shares. But we do take comfort from the fact that they are investors in the company. Notably, they have an enviable stake in the company, worth US$3.3b. That equates to 14% of the company, making insiders powerful and aligned with other shareholders. Looking very optimistic for investors. While it's always good to see some strong conviction in the company from insiders through heavy investment, it's also important for shareholders to ask if management compensation policies are reasonable. A brief analysis of the CEO compensation suggests they are. The median total compensation for CEOs of companies similar in size to Duolingo, with market caps over US$8.0b, is around US$14m. The Duolingo CEO received total compensation of just US$767k in the year to December 2024. First impressions seem to indicate a compensation policy that is favourable to shareholders. While the level of CEO compensation shouldn't be the biggest factor in how the company is viewed, modest remuneration is a positive, because it suggests that the board keeps shareholder interests in mind. It can also be a sign of a culture of integrity, in a broader sense. Duolingo's earnings have taken off in quite an impressive fashion. The sweetener is that insiders have a mountain of stock, and the CEO remuneration is quite reasonable. The drastic earnings growth indicates the business is going from strength to strength. Hopefully a trend that continues well into the future. Duolingo certainly ticks a few boxes, so we think it's probably well worth further consideration. Even so, be aware that Duolingo is showing 1 warning sign in our investment analysis , you should know about...

Apple iPhone 17 Will Premiere Major Design Upgrade, New Report Hints
When the iPhone 17 series lands, it's going to look very different from the current line-up. And a new report tells us exactly how big the displays will be —and seems to confirm a highly desirable upgrade is coming. Apple iPhone 16: will the iPhone 17 have a ProMotion screen for the first time? While the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will stick with the display sizes Apple introduced last year for the Pro models, the regular iPhone 17 will gain a bigger, and possibly better, screen. According to Ross Young, an analyst who specializes in displays, in a post on X for subscribers only, and picked up by MacRumors, the display sizes will be changing. Apple iPhone 17 screen will be bigger than the iPhone 16 display by 0.15 inches, that is, it'll go up from 6.12 inches to 6.27 inches, which will match the size of the iPhone 16 Pro screen. Apple rounds these figures, describing the iPhone 16 as having a 6.1-inch display, and the iPhone 16 Pro screen as measuring 6.3 inches. Expect the same this September. Young says that the iPhone 17 Pro will continue to have the same size screen as it does now, that is, 6.27 inches. Which makes me think that Apple may be about to release the first regular iPhone with ProMotion, the advanced dynamic refresh rate until now exclusively on iPhone's Pro models. After all, the screen size increase to match the Pro means Apple could use the same display on both models. ProMotion also enables the always-on display on the Pro, so this could be coming to the regular iPhone, too. The iPhone 17 Pro display is thought to be the same as now, that is 6.86 inches (6.9 inches in Apple Speak). Finally, the new slimmer phone, nicknamed iPhone 17 Air, will have a 6.55-inch display, Ross claims.
