Nothing's Carl Pei predicts future phones will run on a single app
In a recent interview with Wired , Nothing CEO Carl Pei shared his vision for the future of smartphones. He thinks we're headed towards a world where apps will become obsolete.
Pei imagines that a few years down the line, smartphones will make do with just one app — the OS. This intelligent system would understand the user's needs and context, and automatically deliver what they want, eliminating the need to manually navigate multiple apps.
In the future, the entire phone will only have one app, and that will be the OS,' said Pei. 'The OS will know its user well and will be optimized for that person.
Pei's remarks come as Nothing gears up to launch its first 'true flagship,' the Nothing Phone 3. The former OnePlus co-founder told Wired that the company grew 150% last year, but it only accounts for 0.1% of the global smartphone market. Still, Nothing has carved out quite a niche for itself by challenging traditional smartphone design and UX, with its focus on transparency, simplicity, and a unique visual identity.

Allica selects Lendscape as core platform for asset finance business
UK-based challenger bank Allica has selected Lendscape's commercial lending technology platform to support its asset finance operations. The decision follows a successful trial in a sandbox environment and forms part of Allica's strategy to scale its offering for established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and fintech clients. According to Allica's deputy CEO Niv Subramanian, the bank's investment in digital infrastructure is aimed at delivering business banking that is 'flexible' and 'fits seamlessly' into its wider ecosystem. 'Our growth shows just how strong the demand is for a better kind of business banking,' he said. The Lendscape platform, described as 'API-first', will enable Allica to integrate with other systems, respond rapidly to market changes and deliver product innovation at speed. Conrad Ford, Allica's Chief Product and Strategy Officer, said the lender was impressed by Lendscape's transparency during early discussions and the platform's ability to meet Allica's growth and integration requirements. 'We've seen the strength of their technological foundations and the alignment in our ambitions,' he said. Lendscape's chief product officer, Steve Taplin, said the firm had made a long-term investment in asset finance technology and highlighted the benefits of early sandbox access during the trial period. 'We share Allica's commitment to improving SME finance,' he said. Sunny Bhachu, regional commercial director at Lendscape, described the partnership as a 'perfect fit', adding that Lendscape was well-positioned to support Allica's growth strategy.

Bugatti Boss Criticizes Turbocharged Hybrid Supercars
While the Chiron was essentially an evolution of the Veyron before it, the Tourbillon represents a radical departure. Molsheim's all-new performance flagship ditches the quad-turbo W-16 engine in favor of a V-16 without forced induction. Cosworth helped develop the naturally aspirated powerhouse, which features an 8.3-liter displacement and an impressively low curb weight. It tips the scales at just 556 pounds (252 kilograms), or about 42 percent less than the Chiron's heart. Bugatti and Cosworth engineers achieved the significant weight reduction partly by eliminating the four turbochargers. Mate Rimac told Top Gear magazine he doesn't see the point of using turbos in a hybrid supercar, arguing that the hybrid component compensates for the loss in power while providing the benefits of electrification. In the Tourbillon, there's a large battery with a gross capacity of 24.8 kWh, good for 43 miles (70 kilometers) of range without firing up the V-16. Photo by: Bugatti 'I have driven them all and I don't get it, really. Why would you have a hybrid powertrain with a turbo engine? Like, a turbo engine is a compromise on its own, right?' Bugatti Rimac's head honcho revealed that deleting the quad-turbo setup resulted in a 600-horsepower loss. However, the three electric motors compensate, and then some, delivering a combined 800 hp. Factoring in the combustion engine, which produces 1,000 hp on its own, the Tourbillon is more potent than its predecessors and ends up lighter. Aside from dropping the turbos, the weight savings also come from a new suspension that's 45% lighter, thanks to 3D printing. The whole car weighs less than 4,398 pounds (1,995 kilograms) with all fluids and a nearly full tank of gas. While most hybrid supercars are turbocharged, the Lamborghini Revuelto sticks to a naturally aspirated V-12. The LaFerrari also featured a naturally aspirated, electrified twelve-cylinder engine, but the new F80 uses a twin-turbo 3.0-liter V-6. While Porsche hasn't released a follow-up to the 918 Spyder and its naturally aspirated 4.6-liter V-8, the Mission X concept strongly hinted at a purely electric setup. Mate Rimac isn't closing the door on a pure ICE version of the V-16. He's also open to the idea of a downsized hybrid configuration, even a single-motor Tourbillon that skips the pair of front motors to reduce fat further. A roadster is all but confirmed, so there are big plans beyond the 250 coupes planned for production. Meanwhile, deliveries of the 'normal' car will begin next year but not before producing 35 prototypes for testing purposes. Currently, Bugatti is hard at work delivering the remaining Bolide and Mistral units as the last examples of the W-16 breed .
