Nothing's Android 16 update will arrive before the end of the quarter as Nothing OS 4.0
TL;DR Nothing has confirmed that its Android 16 update will reach users by September.
Nothing OS 4.0 will likely debut on the newly launched Phone 3 before rolling out to older models.
Nothing Phone 2 and newer models will receive the update, but the original Phone 1 is not eligible.
Thanks to Google releasing stable Android 16 for its Pixel lineup earlier than usual, several OEMs are expected to ship their Android 16 updates ahead of schedule this year. Samsung will likely debut One UI 8 based on Android 16 with the upcoming Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Flip 7. Nothing has also confirmed that it will follow suit by releasing Nothing OS 4.0 much earlier.
During yesterday's Phone 3 launch event, Nothing announced that although its new flagship will ship with Nothing OS 3.5 based on Android 15, Nothing OS 4.0 based on Android 16 will 'arrive in Q3 2025.' We suspect the platform upgrade will first reach the newly launched Phone 3, before rolling out to older models.
Nothing Phone 2 and newer models will receive the Android 16 update, but the original Phone 1 is not eligible for the release. At the moment, Nothing has not shared the exact release timeline for these devices. We expect the company to share all details closer to the rollout.
We have little information about the features and improvements that could arrive with Nothing OS 4.0, but it's safe to assume that it will include all the significant changes included in Android 16. Nothing will likely test beta builds with select users ahead of the stable release, which should give us a better idea of what's new in the update.

2 Top Canadian Stocks to Buy Right Now With $1,000
Written by Aditya Raghunath at The Motley Fool Canada Investing in small-cap stocks trading at a reasonable valuation and positioned for steady growth is a strategy that will help you deliver outsized gains over time. In this article, I have identified two such Canadian stocks you could consider buying with just $1,000. Let's see why. Is this Canadian stock a good buy right now? Valued at a market cap of $306 million, Volatus Aerospace (TSXV:FLT) provides integrated drone solutions across Canada, the U.S., the U.K., and Norway. It offers UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) services, including pipeline monitoring, surveillance-as-a-service, wildfire management, geomatics (lidar surveys, photogrammetry), inspection services, and autonomous cargo delivery. The company provides drone equipment sales, pilot training, and specialized software platforms for data analysis. Volatus serves oil & gas, utilities, construction, defence, mining, agriculture, and public safety industries with comprehensive aerial intelligence and logistics solutions. Volatus Aerospace delivered mixed first-quarter (Q1) 2025 results, as revenue declined to $5.7 million from $6.6 million in the prior year, due to seasonal weather impacts and geopolitical uncertainties that delayed customer purchasing decisions. Despite the revenue decline, its operating losses narrowed by 24% to $3.6 million while normalized EBITDA (earnings before interest, tax, depreciation, and amortization) improved 30% year over year. In Q1, Volatus secured the Beyond Visual Line of Sight (BVLOS) approvals across Canada for daytime and nighttime operations. These approvals extend to complex airspace environments, including operations near vertical structures and in Canada's remote northern regions. The regulatory milestone positions Volatus to commercialize its Operations Control Center (OCC) as a scalable service offering. Volatus is pivoting its business model from capital-intensive operations to a customer-owned, company-operated approach. Under this structure, customers purchase drone equipment while Volatus provides managed services and recurring maintenance contracts, reducing the company's capital requirements while generating steady revenue streams. Its drone-in-a-box solutions, combined with OCC capabilities, enable fully automated remote operations with minimal ground personnel. These systems can operate across ranges of 20-60 kilometres from centralized hubs, supporting applications including infrastructure inspection, mining operations, and border surveillance. Volatus maintains its commitment to achieving EBITDA breakeven by mid-2025, supported by improving operational efficiencies and an expanding pipeline of opportunities across critical infrastructure, mining, and public safety sectors. Analysts tracking the Canadian stock expect revenue to rise from $27.15 million in 2024 to $101 million in 2028. Comparatively, it is forecast to report a free cash flow of $12.4 million in 2027, compared to an outflow of $13.8 million in 2024. FLT stock has more than tripled year to date but also trades 40% below all-time highs, allowing you to buy the dip. Is this Canadian tech stock undervalued? Another small-cap tech stock that operates in a similar vertical is Draganfly (CNSX:DPRO), which develops and manufactures unmanned aircraft and remote data collection systems in the U.S. and Canada. It offers quadcopters, fixed-wing aircraft, ground robots, and specialized software for tracking and data analysis. The company also operates health/telehealth platforms for remote biometric detection and provides sanitary spraying services, serving public safety, agriculture, industrial inspection, and mapping markets. In Q1 of 2025, Draganfly reported revenue of $1.55 million, an increase of 16% year over year, driven by expanding partnerships and strategic positioning in the defence sector. It secured several notable partnerships, including an exclusive agreement with SafeLane, the world's largest demining company, to provide aerial survey services for unexploded ordnance removal operations. Draganfly strengthened its defence credentials by adding Chris Miller, former U.S. Acting Secretary of Defense, as a spokesperson and advisor, providing crucial access to military procurement channels. Draganfly also opened a new Tampa facility with full testing capabilities, including live ordnance testing, positioned to serve special operations customers and manufacturing needs. Management expects this to be a breakout year, with CEO Cameron Chell indicating the company needs approximately $35-40 million in revenue to achieve profitability. Analysts tracking the tech stock forecast sales to rise from $6.56 million in 2024 to $21.5 million in 2026. The sales pipeline exceeds $100 million, with multiple large defence and public safety contracts under consideration that could accelerate growth trajectories.

The iPhone 17 series could cost $50 more than the iPhone 16 line, and tariffs are apparently to blame
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. The iPhone 17 series could cost $50 more than the iPhone 16 line This is reportedly due to tariffs, though the impact has apparently been reduced thanks to Apple negotiating lower component costs We've also seen photos of many possible iPhone 17 series colors It's looking increasingly likely that the iPhone 17 series will cost more than previous models, because while we haven't seen many price leaks yet, most of the ones we have seen point in that direction – including the latest one. According to leaker @Jukanlosreve, the iPhone 17 series will cost roughly $50 (around £40 / AU$75) more than the iPhone 16 series. If that's the case, the starting price of the iPhone 17 would be around $850 / £850 / AU$1,475, the starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro would be roughly $1,050 / £1,050 / AU$1,875, and the starting price of the iPhone 17 Pro Max would be approximately $1,250 / £1,250 / AU$2,225. We're also expecting an iPhone 17 Air, and this has previously been said to cost around the same as the iPhone 16 Plus, which would mean $899 / £899 / AU$1,599, though possibly around $50 / £40 / AU$75 more if this latest price leak is right. In any case, this $50 increase claim echoes a recent report from Jefferies analyst Edison Lee (via @DeItaone), who claimed that all models except the standard iPhone 17 would see this increase. @Jukanlosreve for their part claims to have reached this figure through modeling how tariffs, 'the weak dollar effect', and Apple's own efforts to reduce the cost of components will impact the price. A full selection of shades Potential price rises are never fun, but in more positive news, leaked photos of potentially every iPhone 17 series shade have emerged. Shared by leaker Majin Bu, these show the iPhone 17 in black, white, pink, blue, and green shades, the iPhone 17 Air in black, white, blue, and a pale yellow, and the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max in black, white, blue, gray, and brown. These colors largely match what we saw in another recent iPhone 17 colors leak, but the green and gray shades weren't included there, and the color that looks brown here appeared more orange in that leak – so there's still plenty of uncertainty around exactly which colors will be on offer. We should know exactly what will be on offer fairly soon though, as the iPhone 17 series is likely to launch in the first half of September, so around a month from now.

ChatAndBuild Debuts Worldwide, Powering AI App Creation in 40+ Languages as Industry M&A Heats Up
Photo Courtesy of: ChatAndBuild LONDON, Aug. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- ChatAndBuild, the AI-powered platform that turns simple ideas into real, production-ready applications - directly from your phone or laptop - is now publicly available worldwide. Powered by Anthropic Sonnet 4, ChatAndBuild supports 40+ languages – including Japanese, Arabic, Korean and Mandarin – letting anyone describe their idea and watch in real-time as AI streams code, designs interfaces, and wires backends. While legacy platforms chain builders to desktops, ChatAndBuild is available on mobile because the next generation thinks in swipes, not syntax. The platform packs enterprise-grade power into a mobile-first experience. ChatAndBuild has integrations that support Figma-to-code imports, Stripe payments, 50+ DNS providers, full Supabase databases with real time APIs, and GitHub syncing. Front-end fidelity is supercharged by Anima - the agent powering Figma-to-code for 1.5M+ users. From Japan to Korea, Asia's design-forward communities are embracing the next wave of software creation. Thousands of applications have already been built across 30+ countries - spanning education, healthcare, blockchain, and community projects - demonstrating strong global demand and clear early traction. But ChatAndBuild's true innovation is Non-Fungible Agents (NFAs) – AI agents users can build, own, train, and trade like digital assets. With millions in pre-launch revenue already committed to NFA purchases, this represents the world's first AI ownership economy. NFAs evolve, carry memory, and increase in value – transforming AI from a service you rent into an asset you own. The shift from AI-as-a-Service to AI-as-an-Asset starts here. 'Software 1.0 was written by developers. Software 2.0 was trained by researchers. Software 3.0 will be owned by everyone,' said Christel Buchanan, Founder and CEO. "We're building for 7 billion people who have ideas but don't code. When anyone can create software in their native language and own the AI agents they build, we unlock human potential at a scale never before possible. This isn't just democratizing development. It's rewriting the rules of who gets to shape the future." ChatAndBuild recently conducted a hackathon at the University of Oxford's Jesus College, while the Singapore Government's Lorong AI provided the platform where an AI community of creators and practitioners, across government, industry, and research, could innovate. OpenSourced – a community of builders, thinkers, and innovators – and WomenInAI have both hosted inaugural hackathons, driving diverse creation across the platform. Web3 leaders Babylon, Avail, Livepeer and thirdweb have joined the partner ecosystem, recognizing that when builders across five continents – from UK students to African entrepreneurs – choose mobile-first development, they're not just building apps. They're building the future. 'ChatAndBuild's launch comes amidst a surge in mergers and acquisitions across the AI productivity and no-code space,' said Trevor Healy, Managing Partner at Sansa Advisors. 'Recent high-profile deals, including Wix's acquisition of Base44 and OpenAI's acquisition of Windsurf, underscore rising demand for platforms that bridge natural language and execution. What makes ChatAndBuild particularly compelling is their focus on mobile-first development and the introduction of tradeable AI agents. They're not just following the market. They're creating an entirely new category.' 'Bolt and Replit are exploding in the US, Lovable is taking Europe, and ChatAndBuild is rising fast across the UK and Asia,' said Avishay Cohen, Founder of Anima. 'It's early days for AI coding for non-coders, and ChatAndBuild is leading with both power and polish.' The implications are staggering. When a platform enables anyone to build software from their phone and own the AI that powers it, every smartphone becomes a potential startup studio. Every idea becomes investable. Every builder becomes an entrepreneur. "The next unicorn won't be built in a garage," explained Christel Buchanan. "It'll be built on a phone, by someone who's never written a line of code. And they'll own every bit of the AI that powers it." About ChatAndBuild ChatAndBuild transforms ideas into software instantly, empowering 7 billion people to build in 40+ languages with zero code, while combining the power of multiple AI engines with enterprise-grade integrations. Beyond traditional no-code platforms, it introduces Non-Fungible Agents (NFAs) – creating a new economy where AI capabilities can be owned, trained, and traded. The platform has already enabled thousands of applications across 30+ countries. Powered by Anthropic, OpenAI, and Deepseek, and key partners like Anima, the front-end design agent trusted by millions, we've packed enterprise-grade muscle into a mobile-first experience. ChatAndBuild delivers everything from Stripe payments to GitHub syncing to Supabase APIs and DNS deployment. When a student in Jakarta can build a SaaS platform on the bus, or a teacher in Lagos can create and sell an AI tutor from their phone, that's ChatAndBuild. Elite institutions like University of Oxford and the Singapore Government's Lorong AI are partnering with us. Web3 pioneers Avail, Babylon, and Thirdweb are building with us. Because they see what we see: The future of software doesn't belong to big tech. It belongs to the builders.
