Not sure whether to update to iOS 27? These new iPhone features will convince you
Macworld Even if youre not getting a new iPhone 18 Pro this week, you can still make your old phone feel new again. iOS 27 is here, and the update brings a slew of new features, including the long-awaited Siri chatbot, along with a slew of AI tools across the system and first-party apps. Those averse to artificial intelligence will still appreciate the other unrelated features, design changes, and performance improvements across the board. Hesitant about updating your iPhone? Below are the top additions youre missing out on. Siris awakening Siri AI is the signature feature of iOS 27, baking advanced smarts into the operating system. You get a dedicated app to initiate and store conversations with the chatbot, with support for extensions like ChatGPT. Unlike third-party AI chatbots, however, Siri AIs responses arent limited to world knowledge and web results only. Thanks to Apples deep implementation, Siri AI can access data stored on your iPhone and respond accordingly. So, it can dig through and reference old emails, iMessages, photos, calendar events, notes, and much more. It can also analyze whats currently visible on your screen and take action inside apps. Its truly an all-encompassing AI assistant that other providers cant natively replicate on iOS. Other Siri AI perks include assistance with composing text; the chatbot can proofread, rewrite, adjust the tone, and even write from scratch in any text box if you prompt it to do so. Apps like Apple Mail and Messages also offer smart replies that adapt to your typing style and the ongoing conversation. Its worth noting that youll need an iPhone 15 Pro or newer, and accessing Siri AI may require getting past a potentially lengthy waitlist in the Settings app. But itll be worth it. Siri AI is a dramatc improvement over the version we know now. Foundry AI changes the image iOS 27s AI introductions extend beyond the revamped Siri. The built-in Photos app now offers a trio of AI-powered editing tools two of which are completely new. The existing Clean Up feature now offers an advanced mode that consumes more time and energy, allowing you to conceal more complex objects. Meanwhile, the Extend perk is essentially the opposite of cropping, letting you generate relevant content outside the original photos frame. You also get the Reframe option, which tweaks the angle of the shot using AI. Ive stress tested all three of them, and they generally work reliably. Like most AI features, however, they may hallucinate and generate unpredictable results from time to time. Do note that using any of these tools will add an AI label to the photos metadataregardless of how subtle your edits areand platforms like Instagram will add an AI disclaimer accordingly. Like Siri AI, youll need at least an iPhone 15 Pro to take advantage of these new Photo features. iOS 27 includes several new photo editing tools that use AI to augment your images. Foundry Taming the wild web Safari on iOS 27 similarly adds three new core AI functionalities for the iPhone 15 Pro and later. Notify Me is a simple web crawler that scans selected sites for described changes based on a frequency of your choosing. If youre anticipating a certain update, for example, you can stop manually refreshing the relevant webpage and Safari will alert you whenever it detects it. Secondly, Safari can now automatically categorize different tabs based on their topics. You can then save generated tab groups to revisit them later. Otherwise, you can create Safari web extensions on iOS 27 by prompting the AIsparing you from hunting for niche tools on the App Store. Shortcuts for the rest of us Similar to Safari extensions, iOS 27 lets you generate automations and workflows in the Shortcuts app using text prompts. For long, the app had required users to go through a sophisticated building process, barring tech newbies from creating complex shortcuts. Now, anyone can describe the needed tools using natural language, and the AI will pick the correct actions and sequence. Shortcuts in iOS 27 is more powerful and much easier to use. Foundry Even more Intelligence iOS 27s AI features (again for iPhone 15 Pro and later) can also be encountered in more subtle parts of the system. For example, the Calendar app can now extract event details from a casual text description. Meanwhile, the Phone app will surface useful personal data when relevant calls are made, like reservations and ticket numbers. In Image Playground, you can now generate more realistic images, an upgrade from its predecessors ghastly cartoons. Solid Glass Finally something for all phones: iOS 27 addresses a common Liquid Glass complaint introduced with last years design overhaul. With the latest OS version, you can finally kill the translucency of Liquid Glass and opt for a more opaque look across the system and apps universally. All you have to do is tweak the dedicated slider found under Settings > Appearance > Liquid Glass . Liquid Glass can be as clear or opaque as you want in iOS 27. Foundry And much more Other welcome iOS 27 additions include custom pass creation in Wallet, a quick paste keyboard shortcut when copying items, the ability to save high-resolution video frames, redesigned workout summaries, independent alarm volumes , more landscape apps, extra-large widgets, and more. The update also speeds up app launching and AirDrop, extends battery life , fixes leftover bugs, and patches security vulnerabilities. To install it on an iPhone 11 or newer model, go to Settings > General > Software Update > and hit the Install Now button. Agree to the Terms of Service after reading them thoroughly, and keep your iPhone connected to a power source until the installation concludes.

The latest arrest is that of Amit Ghosh, a resident of Saidpur village in West Midnapore, who was taken into custody on Monday in connection with the alleged illegal transfer and sale of government-vested land.

Digital Desk | Mumbai, Sep 14 (IANS) Singer Fergie has marked the 20th year of her debut solo album The Dutchess, calling it her music baby and reflecting on how the record allowed her to express different facets of herself and fulfil a lifelong dream of releasing a solo album.

Kylie Minogue participates in 80s photo trend, shares real picture from 80s film set
Digital Desk | Los Angeles, Sep 14 (IANS) Singer-actress Kylie Minogue is not really a fan of AI, and has refused to participate in the latest social media trend of sharing AI-generated art of the 1980s. However, she didnt disappoint her followers, as she shared something far more real. On Sunday, the actress-singer took to her Instagram, and shared a picture of herself from the 80s on a film set. In the picture, she can be seen sitting on a make-up chair while holding a drink as the camera crew prepares for the take. She wrote in the caption, Seeing lots of 80s on my feed heres one from the actual 80s on set. I Should Be So Lucky. Awwww. Her followers took to the comments section of the post, and lauded her for going against the AI slop, a term used to describe low-quality, mass-produced digital content generated by artificial intelligence that lacks real effort, meaning, or practical value. One user wrote, Kylie really said, No need for ai. Another user wrote, Love how you posted an actual photo from the 80s instead of using AI!. A third user wrote, Thank you, anti-AI queen. Another user wrote, I prefer this a lot more to the AI slop. The latest trend involves creating AI art using real pictures morphed over 80s styled elements of neon, the high-fashion, and 80s synth-pop. The current trend has also raised concerns over the effect of the trend on the environment given AI data centres need huge amounts of water to keep the system cool in order to process the requests. The trend by its virtue involves a spike in consumption leading to more usage of water in data centres.
Doom of hockey, cricket & other sports in Pakistan reflects its societal decline too
FRAGRANCE OF IDEAS Pakistan was born on 14 August, 1947 and thus has a very short history of its existence as a nation spanning over seven decades. It, due to its earlier history and connection with mainland India -Bharat, inherited a rich legacy of civilization, art, culture and other great historical iconic Centres in the world. However, due to its religio-political mindset, hatred against India and in pursuit of its newly adopted official policies, Pakistan disconnected itself with its thousands of years old civilizational ethos, history and culture. There were earlier very prominent sports-persons from a number of sports in Pakistan who made a mark on the international stage. With the passage of time, their replacements couldn't be created or groomed by the Pakistan society at large and particularly by the responsible authorities in the country. The result is for everyone to observe and see. The current state of sports in general in Pakistan has reached its nadir with the course of time. Pakistan got its last podium finish in hockey at the Barcelona Olympics in 1992, when its men's team won a bronze medal by defeating Netherlands. It was followed by the podium finish and championship triumph in the FIH Men's Hockey World Cup in 1994 in Sydney, Australia. It is now for the last three decades that Pakistan has virtually reconciled to its dismal performance in the game and has ceased to be of any sort of inspiration for the younger generations therein. In the course of time, the disastrous condition of hockey in Pakistan was replicated in cricket too. Most of the commentators, sports journalists and analysts in Pakistan consider cricket as the only and the last effective source of entertainment in their country in the given socio-political scenario at the national level. Once upon a time, Pakistan was considered as a frontline cricketing nation in the world. It produced very high quality players and game-icons at an international level having potential to challenge any top teams including Australia, India, England and the former mighty West Indies. Pakistan has won 3 major senior men's ICC trophies in its cricket history i.e. ODI World cup in 1992, T20I World cup in 2009 and the Champions Trophy in 2017. Besides this, it has won the ICC Under-19 Cricket World Cup twice in 2004 & 2006. The decline in the game began in the period 2013-2018 but it went down pathetically after 2017. It is almost a decade now that Pakistan cricket has gone into terrible doldrums and has lost its sheen completely. Ever since India decided to stop bilateral series with Pakistan, it has further added insult to the injury. The degree and stature of the game has surely come down and the only permanent feature that has remained is consistent defeats and consequent embarrassments to the nation. Even at the regional level, both the teams of Pakistan, men's and women's, have not been able to display any quality and standard in their outings. Their men's team won Asia cup twice, the last in the year 2010 (16 years ago) and the women's team never won it though it participated in 10 tournaments till date. Their current training, skill levels, qualification pattern and talent selection have reached a big sorry state of affairs. The developments during their recent England tour have further exposed the whole pandora-box publicly with allegations of indiscipline, wrong selections, cyber crimes involving senior players and consequent investigations and ban. Then their obsession with comparison and contrast with India has further put them in a situation of global humiliation and shame. For the last five years, they aren't able to win any match against Team India on the ground but are vociferous on regular media and especially the social media to raise all sorts of issues and keep on discussing irrelevant stories about ICC, BCCI, Indian players, management and money control. It will require herculean efforts to lift cricket in Pakistan again given the situation as it exists now. Pakistan had been the international champion of Squash for decades. It had a virtual sway over all others at a global level. Icons after icons of the game belonging to Pakistan virtually ruled in a row and didn't allow anyone to defeat them on the Court. It has won World Team Squash championships 6 times while its individual players dominated the winning spree 14 times by being victorious in Men's World open championships. Their domination was very formidable up to the turn of the 21st century. Thereafter, the game, its players and all connected structures crumbled disastrously in a span of one decade and thus the four-decade wonderful history of Squash in Pakistan came to a virtual naught. In the early years of Pakistan, there were a number of wrestlers who won medals in Olympics and Asian Games and also had podium finishes in other important international championships and events. There were recognised training structures available throughout the country about this age-old sport. But apathy at the level of the management, government and also at the level of the society brought it to its lowest level. Unfortunately for Pakistan, the radicalisation of society, religious fundamentalism and Islamic terrorism over the last four decades sucked the national talent, skill and young minds towards their fold. For all of them, terrorism came out to be their de facto 'national sport' in a practical sense. Over the last decade, Pakistan produced a Javelinthrower in Arshad Nadeem who created a sensation in the Paris Olympics 2024 by throwing one of the best & longest throws in history touching almost 93 meters. He was earlier way behind Neeraj Chopra, the Indian champion, but in the 2024 historic event, he created a new history. However, he has again lost his rhythmand control due to several factors and is in his worst struggling phase which was evident in his recent exhibition in the Glasgow CommonwealthGames 2026. Then there are several sports in which Pakistan doesn't take part at all due to their religio-social embargo, particularly in relation to the female participation in the games and sports of their choice. A number of their players in various sports have been observed taking more interest in their controversial religious issues on the ground than their regular sports activism and practice. The overwhelming control of sports by the political bosses has severely damaged the sports environment in entire Pakistan. It will take a long time to reverse the situation particularly when the senior and retired players virtually disassociated themselves from any functional participation in the rejuvenation of the overall sports scenario and it seems endless for the time being....!

'Still under Ashok Siddharths influence': Mayawati lashes out at nephew Akash Anand
Digital Desk | Lucknow, Sep 13 (IANS) Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) chief Mayawati on Sunday renewed her attack on her nephew and former coordinator Akash Anand, who was expelled from the party last week, claiming that he was still not acting on his own judgement but at the behest of his father-in-law and former Rajya Sabha MP Ashok Siddharth. The ties between Mayawati and Akash Anand have deteriorated over the past few months, primarily over Siddharths anti-party activities and alleged attempt to seize control of the party through the BSP supremos nephew. Siddharth recently announced retirement from politics while affirming full faith in Mayawatis leadership, but that did little to restore the strained ties. The BSP chief, in a long post on X, spoke about the irresponsible conduct of her nephew and also brushed aside reports of her poor health. She called upon the BSP workers to throw their weight behind the party in upcoming polls. She noted that over the past few days, certain individuals were spreading rumours among the party cadre that she was unwell and added that she had to step forward personally to provide the correct information to party workers. Referring to a phone call allegedly made by Akash Anand, the BSP chief mentioned that a telephone call was received at her residence. Akash Anand had asked if 'Behenji' (Mayawati) was unwell. In response, he was told that Mayawati was in perfect health and attending to her duties, she informed in the post. Without passing judgement on his concern or conspiracy, Mayawati stated: Akash Anand is still not acting on his own judgment; he is acting as per instructions from his father-in-law Ashok Siddharth. She said that tough decisions were being taken by the party to keep the peoples interest above everything. She also urged the workers to remain committed to the party movement and engage in preparations for the upcoming elections. The BSP chief also informed about key decisions taken by the party to expedite and draw out its electoral roadmap, stating that this was being taken to strengthen the organisation and advance the party's mission. Mayawati expelled Akash Anand from BSP recently after sacking him as the national coordinator. His father-in-law also announced his retirement from politics. Besides speaking on ongoing turmoil within the party, Mayawati also welcomed the 140-paragraph 'Delhi Declaration' issued during the BRICS summit held in Delhi, describing it as a major diplomatic achievement for India.

Dir Sericulture unveils SILK KASH Quarterly Journal 2026
Srinagar, Sep 12: Director Sericulture J&K, Ajaz Ahmad Bhat on Saturday unveiled the second issue of SILK KASH, the Quarterly Journal 2026 of Sericulture Development Department in presence of senior officers and departmental staff of the Department. Speaking on the occasion, the Director emphasized the immense potential of sericulture as a viable and remunerative livelihood activity, particularly its cost-effectiveness and capacity to generate sustainable returns for rural households. He stressed the need for an intensive and result-oriented publicity and awareness campaign to disseminate information about the benefits and opportunities associated with silkworm rearing, making effective use of every available medium of communication and outreach. The Director stated that the quarterly journal has been conceived as a dedicated knowledge and outreach platform aimed at showcasing best practices, documenting the achievements and success stories of progressive silkworm rearers and creating greater awareness among stakeholders about various Centrally Sponsored Schemes and flagship initiatives being implemented by the Department. He highlighted that programmes such as Silk Samagra2 and the Holistic Agriculture Development Programme (HADP) are being proactively implemented to strengthen the sericulture sector and extend the benefits of government interventions to stakeholders at the grassroots level. He observed that an informed stakeholder community is fundamental to ensuring effective implementation of schemes and maximizing their intended impact. Bhat further stated that through SILK KASH, the Department seeks to bridge the information gap and ensure that silkworm rearers, farmers, silk reeling and weaving unit holders, educated youth, women and tribal communities remain adequately informed about available schemes, subsidies, training programmes, departmental facilities and technical support. Such timely access to information, he said, would enable stakeholders to make informed decisions and fully capitalize on the opportunities emerging in the sericulture sector. The Director also underscored the importance of capacity building and continuous skill enhancement as key drivers for the sustainable growth and modernization of sericulture in Jammu & Kashmir. He informed that focused efforts are being made to strengthen the capabilities of stakeholders through skill-upgradation programmes for departmental field functionaries, exposure visits for silkworm rearers and farmers and targeted awareness camps for educated youth, women and tribal communities. He expressed the hope that SILK KASH would evolve into an effective communication, knowledge-sharing and knowledge-dissemination platform, providing stakeholders with practical information, technological insights and greater awareness of the opportunities available in the sector, while also giving wider visibility to the achievements and initiatives of the Sericulture Department. The unveiling of the journal marks another step towards strengthening communication, knowledge dissemination and stakeholder engagement with the broader objective of making sericulture a more attractive, productive and sustainable livelihood avenue across Jammu & Kashmir.
