iPhone 17 Pro May Get L-Shaped Battery and Region-Specific Designs for China, US

0

With only a month to go till the iPhone 17 series is released, the rumor mill is in full swing, and leaks are coming out quickly. Now that the iPhone 17 Pro’s battery design has been revealed, we can see what might be inside the device. It looks to be made of steel, which was a feature of the iPhone 16 Pro before. Among other advantages, it is hypothesized that this design feature will improve heat dissipation.

Design of the iPhone 17 Pro Battery

A tipster named Majin Bu posted a picture of the iPhone 17 Pro’s battery prototype on his blog. It is made of steel and has an L-shaped form to fit the logic board. According to the tipster, there are several advantages associated with this. First off, the steel case might aid with thermal management and offer improved heat dissipation.

It is also claimed that the steel battery container gives the phone’s chassis greater structural rigidity and robustness. Additionally, it can be combined with other functional parts, including Apple’s MagSafe charging coil.

Two distinct battery versions are seen in the blog post’s images. The Cupertino-based tech behemoth is reportedly planning to incorporate batteries with marginally different designs into iPhone 17 Pro models intended for China and the US.

The battery size in the models intended for China appears to be slightly smaller, with a longer L-shaped hole. The physical SIM tray slot seen on iPhone models released in China and other international markets is accommodated by this. With Apple only supporting e-SIM and not a physical SIM card, the iPhone 17 Pro models for the US market might feature a larger battery.

According to the source, Apple will employ the same electrically induced adhesive debonding technology that was first launched with the iPhone 16 series to make battery replacements simpler. The informant also adds that the steel case of the battery has a welded edge on both versions. With a bit of current flowing through the glue, the battery can be readily removed, making it an easy-to-repair design.

It’s unclear, though, if Apple has chosen this battery design for its new iPhone 17 Pro phone, which is anticipated to launch as early as next month along with the iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. This design is reportedly a prototype.

Virat, the Nation Needs You!” Shashi Tharoor Says He Misses Kohli Deeply

The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy will be decided on the final day of the fifth Test at London’s Oval. Despite having four wickets remaining, England needs to win by 35 runs. Currently, the hosts are ahead of Shubman Gill’s India 2-1 in the series.

Parliamentarian Shashi Tharoor stated that he could not help but miss former India captain Virat Kohli, even though the Indian team has played a lot of hard-fought Test cricket in England over the past few weeks, as exemplified by Rishabh Pant batting with a broken toe when India needed him to bat in the previous Test.

“I’ve been missing Virat Kohli a few times during this series, but never as much as in this Test match. His grit and intensity, his inspirational presence in the field, not to mention his abundant batting skills, might have led to a different outcome. Is it too late to call him out of retirement? Virat, the nation needs you!” Tharoor wrote on X.

In May of this year, Virat Kohli declared his intention to retire from the Test format. The 36-year-old Kohli played 123 Test matches over 14 years during his red-ball career. On June 20, 2011, at Kingston, the Delhi batsman made his Test debut against the West Indies.

“There’s something deeply personal about playing in whites. The quiet grind, the long days, the small moments that no one sees but that stay with you forever. As I step away from this format, it’s not easy, but it feels right. I’ve given it everything I had, and it’s given me back so much more than I could’ve hoped for. I’m walking away with a heart full of gratitude for the game, for the people I shared the field with, and for every single person who made me feel seen along the way. I’ll always look back at my Test career with a smile,” Kohli had added.

Kohli ended the post with “#269, signing off

Parineeti Chopra Shares Her ‘Pehli Rasoi’ Dish, Raghav Chadha Playfully Roasts Her

0

Alongside her husband, politician Raghav Chadha, Bollywood actress Parineeti Chopra recently appeared on Kapil Sharma’s show, The Great Indian Kapil Show. In addition to recalling Raghav’s response to it, Parineeti shared what she prepared for her pehli rasoi (first kitchen, a custom in Indian Hindu marriages) following her wedding.

What Parineeti prepared for her ‘pehli rasoi’

Parineeti revealed that she didn’t know that there was any ritual like pehli rasoi and added, “I didn’t even know how to make a toast. I had to Google how to make Halwa, and later I took help from my mother-in-law. Bhut tasty bana tha and I was excited to make it taste to Raghav. I thought it would be a romantic moment to serve Raghav this halwa in the evening. He came, had it, and I was waiting for feedback but didn’t get any.”

Raghav then revealed that he had actually figured out that his mother had made the halwa and had complimented her. He added, “Nakal main bhi akal chahiye, thoda sa toh badal dete flavour. Bilkul maa waala halwa (Even copying requires some brains — they could’ve at least changed the flavour a bit. This is exactly like the halwa my mum makes).” Parineeti then quipped, “I’ll not make halwa for you from now on.”

Raghav responded that he once returned home to see Parineeti Chopra and her mother rearranging the kitchen shelves to give them a more upscale appearance when Kapil asked if Parineeti helps with household tasks.

Parineeti disclosed that she had met Raghav in London at an occasion where the British Council was scheduled to present them with honors. During their interactions at the event, Raghav invited Parineeti to breakfast the following morning, and she casually requested him to meet anytime he was in Mumbai.

Their first breakfast date signaled the beginning of their romantic relationship. The two were married in a lavish yet private ceremony at the Leela Palace in Udaipur after becoming engaged on May 13, 2023, at the Kapurthala House in New Delhi. On social media, they are frequently spotted exchanging amorous photos.

Dhanush Reacts Strongly to Raanjhanaa’s AI-Edited Climax: ‘Completely disturbed me’

0

The controversy over the re-release of Raanjhanaa with an AI-altered climax has grown. Actor Dhanush has come forth to criticize the use of AI, claiming that the alternate ending has robbed the movie of its essence, following director Aanand L. Rai.

Dhanush raises his voice

Dhanush released a statement on his social media accounts on Sunday. The actor disclosed that he was against the use of artificial intelligence and a different conclusion, but that “the concerned parties” nevertheless proceeded

Titled “For the love of cinema”, Dhanush wrote in his note, “The re-release of ‘Raanjhanaa’ with an AI-altered climax has completely disturbed me. This alternate ending has stripped the film of its very soul, and the concerned parties went ahead with it despite my clear objection”. This is not the film I committed to 12 years ago.

“The use of AI to alter films or content is a deeply concerning precedent for both art and artists. It threatens the integrity of storytelling and the legacy of cinema. I sincerely hope that stricter regulations are put in place to prevent such practices in the future,” he added.

Dhanush’s character Kundan does not die as depicted in the 2013 movie in the AI-altered finale of Raanjhanaa. Then, Bindiya (Swara Bhasker) and Murari (Mohammed Zeeshan Ayyub) are seen crying joyfully as Kundan opens his eyes and sits up on the bed. Kundan is shot and sent to the intensive care unit in the original movie. Later, Sonam Kapoor’s character Zoya rushes to the hospital to be with him as he passes away.

The actor’s remarks come after an increasingly heated verbal altercation between Eros and director Aanand L. Rai. In a statement released on July 29, the company defended the usage of AI in the re-release. It charged Aanand with using Raanjhanaa’s intellectual property without permission for his next movie, Tere Ishk Mein.

In multiple interviews after the announcement of Raanjhanaa’s AI-altered conclusion, Aanand has said that it creates a risky precedent for altering directors’ visions. Additionally, he has noted that Eros did not deny him permission before the “happy” ending was changed.

Regarding Raanjhanaa

Aanand L. Rai is the director and Himanshu Sharma is the writer of the love drama Raanjhanaa (2013). Abhay Deol also appears in the movie. Raanjhanaa was released on June 21, 2013, and Ambikapathy, which was dubbed into Tamil, followed a week later. On November 28 of this year, Tere Ishk Mein, a stand-alone sequel, will be released.

Best Time to Eat Fruits? Fitness Coach Reveals When to Enjoy Pineapple, Banana & More

0

Fruits are nature’s powerhouse of vitamins, antioxidants, and fiber, but did you know that when you eat fruits, they can affect how your body absorbs these nutrients? A fitness coach has revealed the best time to eat popular fruits like pineapple, banana, and more—and it’s not just about eating them whenever you’re hungry.

1. Morning is Ideal for Most Fruits

Starting your day with fruits like apples, papaya, or watermelon can give your metabolism a healthy jumpstart. The natural sugars in fruits provide quick energy, and the fiber keeps you feeling full. According to experts, eating fruits on an empty stomach or before breakfast enhances nutrient absorption.

2. Pre-Workout? Go for Bananas

Bananas are rich in potassium and carbohydrates, making them the perfect pre-workout snack. Eating one 30–60 minutes before exercise can help sustain energy and prevent cramps. They digest quickly and offer a natural energy boost.

3. Post-Workout: Pineapple or Berries

After a workout, your body needs antioxidants and enzymes to help repair muscle damage. Pineapple is a great choice thanks to its bromelain content, which helps reduce inflammation. Berries, rich in antioxidants, are another excellent post-exercise option.

4. Avoid Late-Night Fruit Intake

Eating fruits late at night, especially those high in sugar like mangoes or grapes, might interfere with digestion and sleep quality. The natural sugars may spike your energy levels when your body should be winding down.

5. Don’t Combine Fruits with Heavy Meals

Many people make the mistake of eating fruits as a dessert after a heavy meal. This can slow digestion and lead to bloating. Nutritionists suggest having fruits either 30 minutes before or 1–2 hours after meals.

To get the most from your fruits, timing is key. Whether it’s a banana before the gym or a pineapple after your workout, following the proper schedule helps boost digestion, energy, and overall wellness. So next time you reach for your favorite fruit, think about when—not just what—you’re eating.

Although flowers are typically associated with spring and summer, Manushi Chhillar’s most recent ensemble makes a compelling case for wearing them all year round. She demonstrated that flowers are timeless and don’t need to be season-specific by wearing a drape by Label Anushree embroidered with romantic flowers on a recent trip to Rajasthan.

The beige six-yard had a beautiful blend of pastel flora set against it, and it was gossamer in featherlight organza. Manushi’s airy organza saree features one of our most adaptable yet understated flower designs. It is accentuated with a hand-embroidered border in the same pink and blue color scheme,” says the label’s designer, Anushree Parekh, whose design ethos lies at the intersection of subtle luxury and craftsmanship. “A matching floral blouse embellished with intricate threads and beads, which brings the focus on the print and the craft,” she says, completing the ensemble in keeping with her taste.

Although the saree is feminine, her choice of jewelry gave it a more modern vibe. She chose Anāash’s Pana Choker, which is covered in green pearls, to change the ensemble from daytime to evening wear. Her accessory ensemble was finished with sunglasses from Balenciaga and a pair of Aprajita Toor heels. She kept everything simple for the glam, allowing the saree to be the focal point. She opted for au naturel makeup with a dewy base, groomed brows, and nude lips, framing her face with a sleek bun. The ideal finishing touch was a tiny crimson bindi.

Manushi Chhillar’s Label Anushree moment blends elegance and glitz, whether you’re a curator of handloom masterpieces or a modern saree wearer who dabbles in flowers. Imagine Gen Z casualness combined with classic elegance. It is the type of saree that requires a wedding to justify its appearance because of its versatility. You may wear it as easily to a joyful breakfast as you would to a vivid mehendi.

0

According to the IECEE certification website, the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra may come with a bigger battery than its predecessor. It may, however, provide charging speeds comparable to those of the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra. According to earlier leaks, the rumoured tablet will support the S Pen. A MediaTek Dimensity 9400+ SoC is also rumoured to power it. In September 2024, the Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra, its predecessor, was released. It is expected to come in the upcoming months, according to the company’s launch plan.

Battery Capacity of the Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra

On the IECEE certification website, a Samsung tablet bearing the model numbers SM-X936B, SM-X930, and SM-X936N has been identified. According to a report by XpertPick, these are part of the rumoured Samsung Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra’s 5G + Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi only, and a variation exclusive to South Korea, respectively.

According to the advert, the gadget may have an 11,600mAh battery and support 45W rapid charging. The Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra may be released by the South Korean tech behemoth in the upcoming weeks or months, according to the certification.

Khushi Kapoor Turns Heads in Tribal-Inspired Showstopper Look for Rimzim Dadu

0

Khushi Kapoor was the designer’s show-stopper at Rimzim Dadu’s most recent exhibition at Hyundai India Couture Week, combining structure, tradition, and creativity in a look. Using Dadu’s unique, material-forward perspective, the collection, Oxynn, honors India’s indigenous crafts, particularly those of Gujarat.

Khushi Kapoor’s two-piece outfit perfectly captured the essence of the collection, which was “modern couture woven from memory and metal.” Dadu’s trademark metallic cords, pleated into wave-like shapes with a raw, architectural finish, were featured on the top, a sculpted halter-style bralette. To give it the appearance of lace borders, the edges were laced with circular wire ornamentation that imitated traditional mirror work. Reimagined in a futuristic manner, the unique empire seam featured a band inspired by seed beads, featuring beaded strings and metal wires curved like a scalloped border.

With each clover leaf design inlaid with square translucent panels that reflected light, the more textured skirt, which was created using metallic mesh and bespoke cloth, resembled latticework or an enlarged jaali. The combination of structured metal and sheer layering, as well as the lean and straight form, gave the ensemble an industrial yet decorative vibe.

A longer stacked diamond necklace, a turquoise and diamond choker that sat near the collarbone, a stack of bracelets, statement rings, and matching drop earrings were among the jewelry options. The color scheme contrasted sharply with the metallic greys of the ensemble and gave the whole ensemble a lively, tactile element. The makeup significantly emphasized the shimmering silver eye appearance, while the hair was styled in a delicate side-parted blowout.

Upcycling and eclectic sourcing are two of Banjara craft’s more inventive features; they existed long before they became trendy fashion terms. Patches from various pieces and multilayer embroidered fabrics were frequently redone by artisans, who viewed repairs as features rather than defects.

This inclination to reuse and reimagine is reflected in Rimzim Dadu’s material language, which shapes mesh textiles, metallic threads, and industrial wires into couture silhouettes—not despite, but precisely because of, their rawness.
