Charung PMGSY road in Rajouri turns into a muddy mess

The under-construction Charung PMGSY road in Thanamandi sub-division of Rajouri has turned into a major cause of concern for the local population, with recent rains leaving the stretch covered in thick mud and making vehicular movement extremely difficult. The road, being executed under the Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana (PMGSY), has reportedly remained incomplete for years despite the work having been taken up long ago. Following the recent rainfall, the condition of the road has deteriorated further, with vehicles frequently getting stuck in the muddy stretch. In several instances, locals have been forced to arrange machinery to pull out stranded vehicles, causing considerable inconvenience and stress to commuters. Residents maintain the road has virtually become unsafe for traffic, particularly during wet weather. They have urged the concerned authorities to expedite the pending construction work and ensure proper maintenance of the stretch. Locals have sought immediate intervention from the authorities, saying completion of the road is essential to provide safe and reliable connectivity to the area.

Rajwar Handwara advocates protest dilapidated Handwara-Rajwar road

Handwara, Sep 3:Advocates from the Rajwar area of north Kashmir's Kupwara district on Thursday held a peaceful protest at Mian Chowk Handwara against the poor condition of the Handwara-Rajwar road, demanding immediate macadamization of the road. The protesters said that residents of dozens of villages in Upper and Lower Rajwar continue to face difficulties due to the deteriorating road, despite repeated assurances and claims of progress by the authorities. People have been suffering for years because of the poor road condition. We need concrete action on the ground, not just assurances and announcements, said Advocate Imran of Rajpora Rajwar. We want permanent macadamization of the road, which unfortunately has not been carried out for the last twelve years, due to which people from dozens of villages continue to suffer, said another protesting advocate of the area. The advocates urged the concerned authorities to expedite repair and improvement work on the road to provide safe and reliable connectivity to the residents of Rajwar. Meanwhile, an official of the Roads and Buildings (R&B) Division Handwara told Greater Kashmir that a tender worth Rs 49 lakh has recently been allotted to a contractor to carry out the necessary repairs until a permanent solution is made. He said that repair work on the road will be carried out soon.

Speaking on the occasion, Chairman Jammu and Kashmir Action Group Mohammad Iqbal Dar said that the organisation felt to recognise individuals who have demonstrated honesty and commitment in their respective fields. Since corruption is increasing in society day by day, we wanted to promote honesty and that is why we organised todays programme. After thorough research, we identified officials who were felicitated for their dedication and honesty. The need of the hour is to promote honesty and dedication, which unfortunately is rarely witnessed in society, Dar said. Every government employee, as well as those working in the private sector, should perform their duties with honesty and sincerity, he added. Secretary of the Action Group Mir Firdous said that the programme was aimed at promoting goodness and encouraging people engaged in public service and welfare activities. Such a programme has been organised for the first time in North Kashmir to spread goodness in society. I am thankful to the volunteers who have always stood by us throughout the year in carrying out different welfare programmes, Mir added. International scholar and author of seven books, Dr Reyaz Towheedi, was also felicitated for his contribution to Urdu literature and the education sector. JK Action Group has been supporting needy people through various welfare initiatives, including financial assistance, marriage assistance for poor girls, free medicines for needy patients and educational support for deserving students, he added.

Lumpy Skin Disease outbreak sparks panic in Ganderbal

Ganderbal, Sep 03: A suspected outbreak of Lumpy Skin Disease (LSD) has triggered widespread anxiety among livestock owners in central Kashmir's Ganderbal district, with over 350 cattle reportedly infected across several villages. Local residents in areas including Shallabugh and the broader Sherpathri belt claim that at least 20 cattle have succumbed to the highly contagious viral infection over recent days. The sudden spike in infections has raised immediate concerns for the livelihoods of local dairy farmers and prompted frantic calls for urgent government intervention. Livestock owners report seeing symptoms characteristic of the virus, including high fever, skin nodules, discharge from the eyes and nose, and severe loss of milk yield. Over 350 animals are affected in our area alone, and nearly 20 have already died, said Bilal Ahmad, a resident of Shallabugh. This is devastating for families who rely entirely on dairy farming for their daily income. Many animals were vaccinated during previous outbreaks, so we are deeply concerned about how this is spreading again and whether the vaccines are still effective. Affected farmers are demanding immediate financial relief and compensation from the administration to offset the sudden loss of valuable livestock. In response to the growing distress, officials from the Animal Husbandry Department confirmed that specialized veterinary teams have been mobilized to inspect the affected belts, assess the situation on the ground, and administer symptomatic care. Officials stated that the teams will verify the reported infection and mortality numbers while implementing strict containment measures, including isolation protocols, fogging, and vector-control guidance to stop the virus from spreading to neighboring villages.

KNS holds workshopfor correspondents from Kashmir, Jammu divisions

The Kashmir News Service (KNS) group of publications on Thursday held its annual media workshop at the Convention Centre, Gulmarg, with correspondents from Kashmir and Jammu divisions, Srinagar city, senior editors and other journalists associated with the organisation participating in the day-long programme. The workshop, as per a statement, discussed the changing media environment and the challenges before professional journalists, particularly the spread of unverified information through social media. Speakers said the growing number of Facebook pages and anonymous news handles, many operating without any editorial mechanism, had made it difficult for readers to distinguish between verified news and unverified claims. They stressed that this had placed an added responsibility on professional news organisations to maintain accuracy and credibility. The participants emphasised that the rush to be first should not come at the cost of verification and that information circulating on social media should not be treated as news unless properly established. During the open session, correspondents raised issues related to training, field coordination and logistical support, particularly for those working in remote areas. They also suggested regular interaction between the editorial team and district correspondents to improve the flow and quality of news. The Editor-in-Chief assured the participants that the issues raised during the workshop would be looked into and necessary steps taken. Addressing the gathering, Editor-in-Chief Mohammad Aslam Bhat said a correspondent had a demanding job and that the quality of a news report depended largely on the accuracy of the information provided by the reporter.

Stipend row turns into NMC, Supreme Court flashpoint

Srinagar, Sep 3:With MBBS and BDS interns across J&K refusing to report for duty since August 31 in protest of the delay in stipend-hike, hospitals here are grappling with a severe crunch of working hands. The sudden withdrawal has left senior faculty and resident doctors stretched thin. The core of the matter is the debate on ethical work-load and commensurate emoluments to interns in view of the Supreme Court guidelines. At GMC Srinagar, GMC Jammu, SKIMS Bemina, GMC Anantnag, GMC Baramulla and GMC Handwara and other institutions, interns typically form the first line of round-the-clock care. They form a significant proportion of the staff deputed in emergency rooms, managing wards, and staffing OPDs through the night. The withdrawal of services has significantly impacted emergency rooms, wards and outpatient departments, according to hospital officials. There is no single official headcount of interns currently undergoing the mandatory one-year Compulsory Rotating Medical Internship (CRMI) in J&K. It can be gauged from the 1100 MBBS seats that J&K had in the 2020-21 session. Since the batch now serving as interns, plus BDS graduates, the total would be running into several hundred to over a thousand young doctors. This is estimated to be the largest simultaneous intern walkouts. Interns say their stipend of roughly Rs 12,300, that has been broken down as Rs 400 a day, is inadequate to meet their basic needs and has remained unchanged for nearly seven years. Protesters have cited Odisha paying its interns Rs 44,319 a month, West Bengal paying Rs 43,099 and Assam Rs 35,000. In J&K a 2023-constituted committee had recommended raising the J&K stipend to around Rs 25,000. This was later cited in the 2026 Assembly session as Rs 26,300. However, apart from the recommendations and a file being stuck, no other communication regarding thei has been received from the government. J&K Health Minister Sakina Itoo recently called the demand justified and urged interns against striking. She expressed concern that the withdrawal of services could negatively impact patient care. The NMC, responding to a Union Health Ministry query on the stipend issue in February this year said its CRMI Regulations, 2021 already provide for payment of stipend to interns. The actual implementation and quantum are decided by respective states and UTs, the NMC said. This, it said, is based on their own financial capacity and budget provisions. Months later, in June 2026, it told the Supreme Court that non-payment persisted at only seven of 756 medical colleges nationwide. Hearing a batch of pleas, the apex court directed that year that Army College interns be paid Rs 25,000 a month from October 2023. In October 2025 the SC rebuked the Commission, observing that its conduct deserved to be deprecated since the stipend issue had been pending before the court for long. The matter remains under the court's active supervision. A nodal counsel has been appointed in June 2026 to compile a state-wise compliance chart. Under the CRMI Regulations, 2021, interns have a defined middle ground in hospital hierarchies, working under supervision throughout the internship. They are not permitted to practise independently. They may assist but cannot perform major procedures on their own. Thus J&K's interns could assist in OPDs, ward rounds, emergency-unit postings and night shifts. However, their shifts often stretches 24-36 hours. There also is compulsory rural postings, making their work demanding and exhaustive. While the government has reiterating that the revised stipend proposal is under process, the log-jam raises questions about ethical workload and stipend as per the guidelines and trends across the country.

He suggested that similar workshops should be held at the district level so that reporters working in different parts of the region could benefit from regular interaction and training.

Pakeezah 4K Restoration to premiere at Festival Lumire and BFI London Film Festival; Meena Kumari classic gets new lease of life

Film Heritage Foundations 4K restoration of Kamal Amrohis 1972 classic Pakeezah, starring Meena Kumari, is set to receive its global premiere at Frances Festival Lumire in Lyon, followed by a gala screening at the BFI London Film Festival. The restoration marks a significant step in preserving one of Indian cinemas most celebrated films. The restoration has been undertaken by Film Heritage Foundation (FHF) in association with the Amrohi family. The screening at the BFI IMAX in London will be presented by FHF director Shivendra Singh Dungarpur along with Kamal Amrohis children Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi and grandson Bilal Amrohi. The restoration took two years and presented several technical challenges, as the original camera negative was found to be almost melted and unusable. FHF subsequently worked with an interpositive, a CinemaScope print and a colour reversal internegative preserved by the NFDC-National Film Archive of India. Original film stills and memories shared by Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi were also used to help recreate the colour palette and visual consistency of the film. Speaking about the restoration, Shivendra Singh Dungarpur said, Restoring Pakeezah has been a long-held dream, and I am so grateful to Bilal Amrohi for being the moving spirit and encouraging the family to support the restoration and bring the film back to life. Pakeezah is a film that has been etched in my memory since I was a child when I watched it for the first time with my grandmother in a darkened cinema in Dumraon, Bihar. The restoration of Pakeezah took two years. It has been one of the most exciting yet one of the most challenging restorations I have worked on. When I went to inspect the original camera negative and saw that it had almost melted, my heart sank. And the other film elements we had to work with were not in good condition with faded colours, scratches and mould. In my minds eye, I could see each frame like a painting saturated with colours, the opulent sets and the luminous beauty of Meena Kumari and the songs of Ghulam Mohammed were ringing in my ears as if it was yesterday, but not a single cast or crew member survived from the film and I wondered how I would be able to restore Kamal Amrohis original vision with what I had to work with. During our research we discovered original film stills which helped a great deal and I also consulted Tajdar and Rukhsaar Amrohi who had visited the sets and had vivid memories from the making of the film. I couldnt have asked for a better showcase for the restored Pakeezah than the Festival Lumiere in Lyon, the birthplace of cinema followed by a gala screening at the London Film Festival. Tajdar Amrohi recalled his association with the film and his fathers dedication to the project. He said, I was at the grand premiere of Pakeezah in 1972 with my father and Choti Ammi (Meena Kumari) and the film cans arrived at Maratha Mandir in a palanquin. I never imagined that I would be presenting the restored film with my family at the gala premiere in London fifty-four years later. I would like to thank Shivendra Singh Dungarpur and Film Heritage Foundation for restoring the film with so much passion and meticulous care and for bringing my father and his greatest work back to life so that new generations will see the unforgettable Meena Kumari and enjoy the beauty of the film. I remember when I was a child, my father was deep into the making of Pakeezah. Everything in our lives revolved around Pakeezah. My father had put in everything he had in the film and whenever we asked him for anything as children, his response would always be, After Pakeezah. Pakeezah was his lifes mission. I have so many memories of the film as I would regularly visit the sets on Floor No. 3 at Filmistan where much of the film was shot. The film has influenced generations of filmmakers and even today I am sometimes asked how he achieved some of the shots. Rukhsaar Amrohi also reflected on her fathers connection with the film and Meena Kumari. She said, Pakeezah was my fathers obsession, his dream, his oxygen that gave meaning to his life. No one else could have played the role of Pakeezah, but Choti Ammi (Meena Kumari). She was Pakeezah. My father nurtured the film for over fifteen years like a child till it was fully matured and ready to be presented to the world. As a thirteen-year-old, I witnessed the countless sacrifices my father made and the relentless dedication and perfectionism in the face of almost insurmountable challenges to make his vision a reality. I have preserved every bit of his legacy that remains in Amroha, but for years, I felt that my fathers legacy as a great master of cinema had been forgotten. I would like to thank Shivendra Singh Dungarpur for taking the initiative to restore Pakeezah with so much love and care. I only wish my father were alive to see his creation restored and reborn for the world to see fifty-four years after it was released. I cannot wait to see the restored film back on the big screen and I will be travelling to London to present the film. Pakeezah, which was released on February 4, 1972, underwent a production journey spanning nearly 15 years. Originally conceived in the 1950s, the film began shooting in black-and-white before moving to Eastmancolor. The production was interrupted several times, including after Amrohi and Meena Kumari separated, before being revived in 1969. The film went on to become one of the defining works of Indian cinema, with Meena Kumaris performance as Sahibjaan becoming central to its enduring legacy. She passed away on March 31, 1972, just weeks after the films release. The restored version of Pakeezah is presented in 4K with a 5.1 sound mix. The film runs for 153 minutes and features Meena Kumari alongside Ashok Kumar, Raaj Kumar and Nadira. The restoration was carried out by Film Heritage Foundation at LImmagine Ritrovata laboratory in association with Bilal Amrohi of Lionheart Cinema.

Over 5,000 Dropbox Accounts Compromised In Targeted Breach

A security vulnerability involving Lenovo ID single sign-on authentication resulted in unauthorized access to approximately 5,000 Dropbox accounts. The cloud storage provider notified affected individuals by email, confirming that unauthorized activity was detected on impacted accounts between August 4 and August 21, 2026. The security breakdown occurred due to an email verification flaw within Lenovos account registration system. Attackers discovered they could create a fraudulent Lenovo ID using a targeted victims existing email address without proper identity confirmation. Because of a legacy authentication integration between the two platforms, Dropbox treated the newly created Lenovo ID as a verified login for the associated Dropbox profile. This oversight allowed the hacker to bypass standard credential prompts and directly hijack existing accounts simply by knowing the users primary email address. so dropbox got hacked (never had a Lenovo account, haven't been to UK) pic.twitter.com/UoYRaJFuEC yoni | parser.eth (@yonilevy) August 31, 2026 The incident drew sharp criticism from cybersecurity observers, who highlighted the fundamental flaw of permitting third-party login linking to pre-existing user accounts without demanding proof of prior password ownership. The breach raised immediate privacy concerns given that Dropbox users routinely host personal documents, financial data, and sensitive corporate files on the platform. Despite the severity of the authentication oversight, the impact remained relatively isolated. Reports indicate that around 5,000 accounts were accessed, none of which had enabled multi-factor authentication (MFA) .

BJP's Srinagar rally exposed 'complete surrender' of Kashmir : MP Ruhullah

Srinagar, Sep 03: National Conference MP Syed Aga Ruhullah on Thursday said Wednesday's rival street demonstrations in the city had laid bare the complete surrender of Jammu and Kashmir's sovereignty and the diminishing popular appeal of the region's mainstream political leadership. Referring to the Bharatiya Janata Party's (BJP) rally at Ghanta Ghar, MP Ruhullah as per KNS said in a post on X, the opposition party, which he described as a on-entity in Kashmir's electoral landscape, could not have staged such a show of strength without an overarching political capitulation. The BJP, a non-entity in Kashmir's politics, can dare to walk to Ghanta Ghar and hold our streets. That is how complete the surrender of this state has been. It should shame every party that calls itself mainstream, the Srinagar MP said. In an apparent reference to his own party's protest demanding restoration of statehood, MP Ruhullah said the event failed to draw public participation beyond party workers, reflecting a deep-seated disconnect between the people and the established political class. A people's protest draws people beyond your own rank and file. This one did not. It's clear what Delhi saw recently with protests, Kashmir did not today. People do not identify with these leaders. They do not trust them. Their politics has shrunk to producing loud media bytes, he added. The NC leader asserted that the political stagnation could not be addressed by reshuffling existing faces, and called for a fundamental transformation of the region's political framework. That can't be fixed by rearranging the same faces. It is fixed by replacing this politics. That is the work ahead, he said. Notably, The ruling National Conference and the opposition BJP had taken their political battle to the streets of Srinagar on Wednesday, with the NC demanding restoration of statehood and constitutional guarantees for Jammu and Kashmir, while the BJP targeted the Omar Abdullah-led government over unemployment, electricity tariffs, development and alleged governance failures.

Congress-NC alliance is not about one Cabinet berth, it is about J&Ks people: Ghulam Ahmad Mir

Srinagar, Sep 3: Senior Congress leader Ghulam Ahmad Mir on Thursday defended the partys alliance with the National Conference, saying the partnership was not forged for a Cabinet berth or any individual political benefit but to safeguard the interests of the people of Jammu and Kashmir. Speaking about the continuing discussion over the vacant Cabinet berths in the Omar Abdullah-led government, Mir said the Congress should not be viewed merely through the number of MLAs it has in the Assembly. We have supported the National Conference at this time. We did not give this support for a Cabinet berth or for any job. We gave it because of the way communal forces are looking at Jammu and Kashmir, their attacks and their desire, which they had earlier as well, to establish themselves here, Mir said. He said the Congress had a larger political role to play in Jammu and Kashmir and that its commitment to the alliance went beyond the question of ministerial representation. If the National Conference is still safe, it is because of the Congress party, because the Congress party is the only party which will never want to give the BJP an opportunity. This is a solid commitment, he said. Mir was responding to questions over the delay in the expansion of the Council of Ministers and reports that one of the three vacant Cabinet positions could go to the Congress. He said the issue had been under discussion for several months but maintained that the decision to induct or drop ministers ultimately rested with the Chief Minister. You have been hearing about Cabinet expansion and induction for three months. There is a date after date, but in practice it has not happened, because this is the sole prerogative of the Chief Minister. He will decide when and which MLA he wants to take and whom he wants to drop, Mir said. At the same time, he said the matter should not be reduced to a bargaining exercise over one Cabinet seat. The Congress is also a very big ocean, and Congress also has to look at the entire situation of Jammu and Kashmir. This is not merely about one Cabinet berth. The question is about the people of Jammu and Kashmir and the issues of the people of Jammu and Kashmir, he said. Mir also cautioned against repeatedly referring to the Congress as a party with only six MLAs in the Assembly. If the National Conference looks at the Congress only according to the number six, if it weighs it on the basis that these are six people, then I think it is doing injustice to the Congress today, he said. He pointed out that the alliance had benefited both parties electorally and politically. It has to be weighed as a party. It is because of this party that the alliance happened and the National Conference benefited from it, and after that, if our party got six seats, Mir said. Government of India responsible for security situation Mir also criticised the Centre over the continuing security challenges in Jammu and Kashmir, saying the Union government could not shift responsibility for the situation to the elected government in the Union Territory. Referring to threats against Kashmiri Pandits and recent militant incidents, he said the security situation had been one of the principal reasons cited for the changes made to Jammu and Kashmirs constitutional and administrative status in 2019. The question arises that on August 5, 2019, citing these very threats, these very selective killings and these very incidents, the Home Ministry and the Government of India, without asking us, cut our neck and brought our state down, Mir said. He said the Centre had justified the move by arguing that it was necessary to improve the security situation and ensure that the entire law-and-order situation was dealt with by the Government of India. Now it is the seventh year. And even after the seventh year, we continue to see every year that killings are taking place, selective targets are taking place, and Kashmiri Pandits are also receiving threats, he said. Mir argued that responsibility for the situation therefore lay with the Centre. If this is a failure, then it is the failure of the Government of India, and all the agencies are in their hands, he said. He added that Jammu and Kashmirs security and law-and-order machinery was no longer under the control of an elected state government. Today, no person in Jammu and Kashmir has these security agencies or law and order in his hands. In the UT, the Lieutenant Governor is looking after it, and at the Centre, the Home Minister of India is looking after it. So definitely, if the voice is raised that threats are still being received, the responsibility goes to the Government of India, Mir said. Financial situation not so bad that children should be on streets Mir also backed the demands of protesting students and professionals seeking greater financial assistance from the Jammu and Kashmir government. He said the demands appeared genuine and that Jammu and Kashmir was providing significantly less support compared with other states. It is a human issue, clearly. Their issue should be resolved. We will also appeal to the Chief Minister because Finance is with him and he should take a call, Mir said. While acknowledging the Union Territorys financial constraints, he said the government should find a middle path. We believe that the financial situation of our state is not so good. But it is not so bad either that we should see thousands of our children on the streets. Some middle path should be found, he said. Mir warned that if the issue remained unresolved, the Congress would raise it with other political parties and seek a clear response from the Chief Minister when the House resumes. If they do not do it, then definitely, being the Congress legislature party in the House, we will talk to other parties as well, and from the 21st, when the House begins, if it is not resolved by then, we will definitely want, along with our other colleagues, that the Chief Minister give a solid answer on this and resolve their issue, he said. On Congress and possible political returnees Asked about speculation surrounding leaders who may seek to return to the Congress, Mir said the partys doors remained open to those who shared its ideology. Congress is an ocean. But Congress has its own ideology. For those whose ideology matches that ideology, or whose ideology aligns with the Congress ideology, the doors are open, he said. However, he dismissed speculation about some individuals returning to the party, saying some of them had left Congress decades ago. Some of those whose names you have taken left Congress after eating and drinking for 40-45 years, and their stomachs may not yet be full there, so why would they look back? Mir said, adding that much of the speculation was confined to social media. He also criticised the conduct of the two major political parties during a recent protest, arguing that issues affecting ordinary people had been sidelined. There was no issue of 14 million people in it. Both of them were for taking a chair and saving a chair. This was the first time in 80 years of democracy that the party in power was on the streets, Mir said. He said political parties should instead be taking up issues such as unemployment, rising electricity bills and the problems faced by young people. If tomorrow a forum is formed and takes up all these issues and says, Come to Srinagar, and five lakh people stand there, demanding answers from both governments, then will pellet guns be fired at that time? Will it be said then that they were anti-national? Mir asked.

As the unit navigates across open turf, it constructs a real-time 3D map of the environment and localizes itself dynamically without requiring supplemental hardware installations. At the center of its navigation architecture is an industry-leading 48 TOPS of onboard computing power . Rather than utilizing processing simply for wheel control and motor management, this high compute capacity is dedicated to real-time visual perception, situational decision-making, advanced object recognition, and immediate obstacle avoidance across dynamic environments. Mechanical and terrain-handling capabilities include: Edge-to-edge cutting system : Equipped with an extendable trimming arm engineered to trim closely against borders, fences, and walls, reaching areas commonly missed by standard mower decks. All-wheel drive traction : An integrated AWD powertrain ensures steady movement over uneven, wet, or muddy ground. Slope performance : The drive architecture enables the mower to tackle steep inclines of up to 80% slope (38 degrees) without losing traction. Through the combination of computer vision, high processing power, and robust mechanical traction, Eufy positions the mower as an autonomous outdoor platform capable of managing demanding landscapes independently. The Eufy S2 Max Robot Lawn Mower is scheduled to release in the European market in May 2027 . Official launch timing and retail pricing for the United States have not yet been determined.

JJ Smuts, Tom Curran Star as Edinburgh Rockers Beat Belfast Wolves by 59 Runs

Edinburgh Castle Rockers delivered a commanding all-round performance to defeat Belfast Wolves by 59 runs in Match 11 of the ETPL, with JJ Smuts near-century and Tom Currans historic hat-trick leading the way at Voorburg Cricket Club, Netherlands. The match also produced one of the most unusual moments of the tournament so far, with brothers Ross Adair and Mark Adair facing each other on opposite sides and both eventually playing a direct role in each others dismissals. Belfast Wolves won the toss and elected to bowl, but the Rockers quickly established control through JJ Smuts. The South African all-rounder produced a superb 98 from 60 balls, striking 11 fours and three sixes as he anchored Edinburghs innings while maintaining an impressive scoring rate, earning him the man of the match award. Ross Adair added nine before the first wicket fell at 19, but the dismissal carried a storyline of its own. Mark Adair removed his brother Ross, with Tim Tector completing the catch. It was the first of two occasions in which the brothers would be directly involved in each others dismissals. Andries Gous added 14 before Brandon McMullen shifted the momentum with a blistering 30 from 16 balls, including two fours and two sixes. Mitchell Santner then provided the finishing burst, smashing an unbeaten 25 from 13, as Edinburgh closed on 189 for five from their 20 overs. Belfasts chase began with immediate trouble. Trent Boult produced a superb opening spell, claiming three wickets for 16 runs. Tim Tector and Lorcan Tucker fell in successive deliveries, before Paul Stirling was dismissed for 25 from 13 balls as the Wolves slipped to 37 for three. Glenn Maxwell offered resistance with 35 from 23, while David Miller made 20, but Edinburgh continued to chip away. Jack Jarvis claimed two wickets and Mark Watt added another before Curran took centre stage. The Rockers all-rounder produced the defining moment of the match, taking the first hat-trick in ETPL history. Curran dismissed Fred Klaassen and Matthew Humphreys with his final two deliveries of the 16th over, before returning for the 18th over, where he bowled and removed Mark Adair to complete three wickets from three consecutive balls of his spell. He finished with outstanding figures of 4/20 from 3.1 overs. And once again, the Adair brothers were at the centre of the action. Mark Adair, who had earlier dismissed Ross, was Currans fourth wicket but the catch was completed by Ross Adair. Earlier, Mark had ended Ross innings, now Ross had a hand in ending Marks. It was a remarkable exchange between the brothers in a match already full of memorable moments. Belfast were bowled out for 130 in 17.1 overs, giving Edinburgh a comprehensive 59-run victory. Also Read: Special Cricket Stories Smuts 98 provided the foundation, Boults three-wicket burst broke the Wolves chase early, and Currans historic hat-trick sealed the result.

Faf du Plessis Stars as Rotterdam Dockers Chase Down Dublin Guardians in ETPL

Rotterdam Dockers produced another statement performance in the ETPL, chasing down 179 against Dublin Guardians to secure a seven wicket victory with eight balls remaining at Sportpark Westvliet. After winning the toss and choosing to field, the Dockers were set a challenging target as Dublin posted 178 for four from their 20 overs. James Vince led the way for the Guardians, remaining unbeaten on 95 from 54 balls, striking five fours and six sixes. Sanjay Krishnamurthi added 26 from 17, while Vijay Shankar provided a powerful finish with 26 from 13, including two sixes. Dublin's innings was built around Vince's ability to keep the scoreboard moving. After Noah Croes fell for eight, Vince combined with Harry Tector for a 56-run partnership, taking the Guardians through the middle overs. Tector contributed 14 from 15 before falling at 78, after which Vince continued to anchor the innings. Partnerships with Daryl Mitchell, Krishnamurthi and Shankar then helped Dublin finish strongly, with the final total reaching 178 for four. But Rotterdam's response was even more emphatic. Michael Levitt immediately changed the tempo of the chase, smashing 35 from just 14 balls, with three fours and three sixes at a strike rate of 250. His explosive start combined with Faf du Plessis' experience gave the Dockers a 55-run opening partnership, bringing the required rate under control before Levitt was dismissed by Joshua Little. Faf then took complete command. The Rotterdam captain produced an outstanding 79 from 51 balls, striking nine fours and a six at a strike rate of 154.90. More than simply providing stability, du Plessis repeatedly found the boundary and ensured that the chase never lost momentum. Ravichandran Ashwin brought his T20 experience into the middle overs, looking to slow the Dockers scoring. However, Levitts explosive start and du Plessis control ensured the Guardians struggled to build sustained pressure. After Levitt's departure, Faf added 39 with Vikramjit Singh, who contributed 18 from 14 balls, before another partnership took the chase further. When Vikramjit fell at 94, Faf and Heinrich Klaasen put together a crucial 54-run stand, shifting the equation firmly in Rotterdam's favour. Klaasen then took responsibility for the finish. His unbeaten 34 from 28 balls included two sixes, while Ben McDermott remained alongside him as the Dockers closed in on victory. Klaasen and McDermott ensured there was no late drama, taking the Dockers to 179 for three in 18.4 overs. For his match defining innings, Faf du Plessis was named Player of the Match, capping a performance that combined leadership, control and attacking intent.

Intern doctors protest over stipend hike continues

Intern doctors of Government Medical College (GMC) Rajouri and other medical colleges across Jammu on Wednesday continued their indefinite strike, demanding an increase in their monthly stipend from the existing Rs 12,500 to Rs 30,000. The protesting doctors held a peaceful dharna outside GMC Rajouri, urging the government to revise their stipend, saying interns performed duties under challenging conditions in hospitals but were being paid a meagre amount. The agitation has been continuing for the past three days, with intern doctors from various medical colleges pressing the government to implement a stipend of Rs 30,000, which they said was in accordance with prevailing norms. The strike has also affected the functioning of some healthcare institutions as doctors have abstained from duties in certain cases. As part of efforts to intensify the agitation, intern doctors at GMC Rajouri took out a peaceful candlelight protest march on Tuesday evening. The protesters raised slogans in support of their demand and urged the government to address the issue at the earliest. On Wednesday, MLA Rajouri Iftkhar Ahmed also visited the protest site and met the doctors assuring them of taking up their demand and issues before the government for necessary redressal.

Chatroo minor rape-death case:Crime Branch raids 2 accuseds residences

In a significant development in the Chatroo minor rape-and-death case, the Crime Branch on Wednesday morning conducted searches at the residences of two accused persons, identified as Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain, in the Gurinal area of Chatroo in Kishtwar district, as part of its ongoing investigation, officials said. The searches were carried out after the case was formally transferred to the Crime Branch by the Jammu and Kashmir administration following sustained protests and demands from residents and various groups for an impartial and comprehensive investigation. Officials familiar with the development said that the searches were aimed at locating and examining material and documentary evidence that could assist investigators in reconstructing the sequence of events and establishing the alleged role of the accused and other persons connected with the case. The Crime Branch is also examining evidence collected during the earlier investigation. The case relates to the death of a minor girl in the Chatroo area, which had triggered widespread outrage and protests across the region. FIR number 34/2026 was initially registered at Police Station Chatroo, and the investigation was subsequently expanded with provisions of the Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS) and other applicable laws invoked during the course of the probe. The case had witnessed a series of protests, shutdowns, candle marches and sit-in demonstrations in Chatroo, with protesters demanding that the investigation be transferred to an independent agency and that every person allegedly involved be brought to justice. During the earlier investigation, seven persons were arrested in connection with the case, including the alleged prime accused and others whose suspected roles came under scrutiny. A Special Investigation Team (SIT) was also constituted by the police to investigate the matter before the government decided to hand over the case to the Crime Branch amid continued public demands for a broader and independent probe. Following the transfer, the Crime Branch formally began its investigation and has since been examining the circumstances leading to the minor girl's death, the evidence collected so far and the alleged involvement of different individuals. The latest searches at the residences of Tariq Hussain and Khalid Hussain are being viewed as part of the agency's efforts to strengthen the evidence in the case. Investigators are also likely to question persons associated with the case and conduct further searches, if required, as the investigation progresses. The incident has continued to evoke strong public sentiment in Chatroo and adjoining areas, with residents demanding a fair and time-bound investigation and stringent legal action against anyone found responsible.

Stipend delay keeps medical interns on strike

Srinagar, Sep 2: The corridors of several medical colleges across Jammu and Kashmir witnessed another day of protest on Wednesday as MBBS and BDS interns continued their strike for the third consecutive day, demanding an increase in their monthly stipend. With white coats replacing workstations and protest slogans echoing outside hospital buildings, the interns have suspended their duties since August 31, bringing attention to what they describe as a years-long delay in revising their remuneration. Every year, hundreds of MBBS and BDS graduates undergo compulsory internship training in government medical colleges. They argue that their stipend remains lower than that offered in several other states and Union Territories. This situation has been created because the authorities have failed to take a decision. It has been three years since the government committee recommended enhancement of the intern stipend, but we are still waiting. The file is still under process. We do not know where it is stuck or when it will finally be signed, said an intern at SKIMS Medical College, Bemina. The interns currently receive around Rs 12,000 per month. The strike has also begun to affect hospital services, with patients bearing the impact of the interns absence from routine duties. Interns have been participating in protests at their respective medical colleges across J&K. The protesting interns pointed to recent decisions in other states to highlight the disparity. They said the Uttar Pradesh Government has increased the monthly stipend for medical interns to Rs 30,000, while J&K interns continue to receive substantially less. This widening disparity underscores a concerning oversight regarding the foundational workforce that sustains critical healthcare infrastructure, the interns said. In 2023, a J&K Government committee recommended increasing the stipend for MBBS and BDS interns from Rs 12,000 to Rs 25,000 per month. In October 2024, interns met the Chief Minister in Srinagar and were assured that there would be no disparity between J&K interns and their counterparts elsewhere in the country. The stipend was last revised in January 2019 during Governors Rule, when it was increased from Rs 4,800 to Rs 12,300 per month. Since then, they said, the amount has remained unchanged for more than seven years despite inflation and rising living expenses. On July 15 last year, Health Minister Sakina Itoo had stated that the stipend would be increased very soon and that the file was under process. The matter was again taken up by the All-India Medical Students Association (AIMSA), which submitted a representation to the Chief Minister on September 9, 2025, seeking intervention. The interns also demanded that the revision of their stipend should not be unnecessarily linked to any increase in MBBS or BDS fees and called for uniform implementation of the revised stipend across all government medical colleges in Jammu and Kashmir. As the protest entered its third day, the interns maintained that their demand was not merely about an increase in monthly remuneration, but about recognising the role they play in keeping the healthcare system running during their compulsory year of training.

iOS 27: Release date, Beta, compatible iPhones and all new features

Macworld Apple has officially unveiled the new features coming to compatible iPhones running iOS 27 later this year, introducing major Apple Intelligence upgrades, changes to Siri, parental controls enhancements and improvements across core iPhone apps. iOS 27 is currently available as a beta test version for developers and public testers. The software has been going through several months of testing before its full public release which is likely to happen in the next few weeks. Apple typically launches new versions of iOS in September, often around the second week making Monday, September 14 a likely release date based on past patterns. iOS 27 will be supported on every iPhone all the way back to iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2, though some Apple Intelligence and Siri related features will only be available on newer iPhones. This hub contains everything Apple has confirmed will be coming in iOS 27 when it launches, including new features, compatible iPhones, beta release information, Apple Intelligence updates and whats new for Siri. Whats New in iOS 27 at a Glance Siri AI : Apples new Siri AI combines personal context, onscreen awareness and web knowledge to deliver more natural conversations, richer answers, app actions and cross-device chat history. Apple Intelligence across apps : Apple Intelligence expands across Safari, Photos, Messages, Mail, Calendar, Home and Shortcuts, adding smarter suggestions, automation, image generation and context-aware assistance. Smarter Photos editing : Photos gains Spatial Reframing, Extend and an upgraded Clean Up tool, allowing users to improve composition, expand images and remove distractions more naturally. Child safety and parental controls : New parental controls include Ask to Browse, Time Allowances, app schedules and enhanced Communication Safety tools designed to give parents more control. Safari and productivity upgrades : Safari can organise tabs, monitor webpages and build extensions from descriptions, while Passwords, Calendar and Shortcuts gain powerful new AI-powered capabilities. iOS 27 release date: When will Apple release iOS 27? September 2026 iOS 27 has been in beta since it was unveiled at WWDC in June, but the official version of iOS 27 will not be available to install on compatible iPhones until later in 2026. Apple has confirmed that the iPhone launch event will take place on September 9, so we anticipate that iOS 27 will be available to download on Monday, September 14, as the iOS download usually closely follows Apples September event. What is the latest iOS 27 beta? As of September 1, iOS 27 beta 8 is now available to developers, with the public beta expected shortly. At this late stage in the development cycle, Apple is focusing on stability rather than adding new features, with recent betas mainly delivering bug fixes, security updates, performance improvements and final polish ahead of launch. Siri AI in iOS 27 Apple By far the biggest upgrade coming in iOS 27 is Siri AI Apples new Apple Intelligence-powered version of Siri. Apple says it is more personal, conversational and capable than the current assistant, with support for natural follow-up questions, personal context, onscreen awareness and up-to-date information from the web. Siri AI features More natural conversations : Siri AI can understand open-ended questions, follow-up requests and more complex natural language, making interactions feel less like issuing simple voice commands. Personal context : Siri can draw on information stored in Messages, Mail, Photos and Notes to find details and answer questions. For example, you could ask it to find information buried in an old email or message. Onscreen awareness : Siri can understand what youre viewing and act on it, such as saving an address from a message, adding an event to Calendar or answering questions about an article. Camera intelligence : A new Siri Camera mode lets you show Siri something through the iPhones camera, then ask questions or perform actions based on what it sees. More capable app actions : Siri can perform tasks within apps such as Messages, Music and Reminders. It can, for example, edit a recently sent message, add a song to a playlist or handle more complex Apple Music requests. Better general knowledge and web answers : Siri can use information from the web to answer questions about recent events and tackle more specific or complicated queries than before. Conversation history across devices : A dedicated Siri app lets users revisit previous conversations, pin important chats and continue conversations across Apple devices using iCloud syncing. More natural Siri voices : Siri gains more expressive voices, with controls on compatible devices for adjusting speaking pace and expressiveness. Voice customisation requires an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air or newer. Improved dictation : Better speech recognition, automatic punctuation, capitalisation and formatting allow users to dictate more naturally when converting speech into text. AI-assisted message replies : Siri can compose contextual replies in Messages using the conversation, personal information and web searches. Shortcuts can also automate replies to selected contacts, although manual Siri-assisted replies allow users to check and edit the response before it is sent. For more Siri AI message replies read about what happened when we made Siri AI Answer all our Messages . How good is Siri AI? Siri AI represents a significant improvement over the old Siri, particularly when handling conversational questions, current information and personal context. Early testing suggests it can deal with far more complicated requests than Siri previously could. Apple Music is a good example: Siri can identify very specific groups of songs, create playlists and combine music knowledge with reasoning. It could therefore become one of the biggest reasons to upgrade to iOS 27, potentially changing Siri from a basic voice-command system into a more general way of interacting with the iPhone. However, Siri AI is still in beta. Testing has revealed server failures, incorrect answers, weak reasoning and unexplained limitations, so its usefulness will depend heavily on how much Apple improves reliability before release. Apples approach to AI safety also appears more restrained than some rival chatbots, with Siri designed to avoid excessive flattery, pretending to be human or responding inappropriately to potentially harmful requests. When will Siri AI launch? Apple says iOS 27 arrives in autumn 2026, but Siri AI does not yet have a specific public release date. Apple currently says the new Siri will launch in English later in 2026. Regional Siri AI availability Siri AI will not initially be available on iPhone or iPad in the EU. It will also remain unavailable in China while Apple works through regulatory issues. Siri AI compatibility Some Siri AI features have more demanding hardware requirements than others. In particular, Apples new Siri voice customisation controls require an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone Air or newer. Apple Intelligence across apps As well as Siri AI, the enhanced Apple Intelligence will also power new AI-powered features in Apples core apps throughout iOS 27. Safari will organise tabs into topics, monitor webpages for changes and even build extensions from natural-language descriptions. Photos is set to gain a new Spatial Reframing edit tools including and an upgraded Clean Up feature. Messages, Mail and Calendar will be able to understand context, suggest actions and create events from simple descriptions. New features coming to apps in iOS 27 iOS 27 brings a mix of major Apple Intelligence upgrades and smaller quality-of-life improvements across Safari, Photos, Messages, AirPods, Passwords, Wallet and other core iPhone apps. Apple is also making iOS more adaptable to different screen sizes and orientations, changes that appear to be laying some of the groundwork for its expected folding iPhone. Safari Safari will automatically group tabs into topics, making related pages easier to find. A new Notify Me feature will monitor webpages and alert you to changes such as price drops or products coming back into stock. Apple is also adding Describe an Extension, which lets users create custom Safari extensions simply by explaining what they want the extension to do. Apple Photos Photos gains significantly more powerful AI editing tools . Spatial Reframing/Reframe can alter the composition and perspective of an existing photo, while Extend generates new image content beyond the original frame when straightening a horizon or changing the aspect ratio. Apple Clean Up has also been improved, with Fast and High Quality modes for removing unwanted objects. High Quality mode can produce considerably more natural results, although more ambitious edits can still introduce distortions or invented details. Photos also adds new categories and the ability to save a frame from a video as a full-resolution photo. The resulting HEIF or JPG retains the videos original resolution, date and location metadata rather than simply creating a screenshot. Camera Apple is developing a customizable Camera interface, although it has not appeared consistently throughout the iOS 27 beta cycle. It could arrive in a later iOS 27 update . Apple is also reportedly developing Apple Reference Image , an authentication system designed to prove that a photo or video was genuinely captured on an iPhone and has not subsequently been manipulated. The feature would use additional metadata and Apples Private Cloud Compute to authenticate an image and assign it a unique ID. Its usefulness may be greatest for journalists, insurers and investigators rather than as a general solution to AI-generated imagery, particularly because authentication would be optional and social networks frequently remove metadata. Messages Foundry Messages gets several useful improvements. You can also decide what the microphone button beside the text field does . Under Settings > Apps > Messages > Show in Text Field, it can be set to Record Audio, Start Dictation or None. Disabling it does not remove either feature: dictation remains available from the keyboard and audio messages remain in the + menu. Voice-message playback controls are easier to access, while Apple Intelligence can suggest actions based on a conversation, such as creating a reminder, making a note or finding relevant photos. Messages will also gain smarter suggested replies that can better reflect the users writing style. Drawing Foundry A new dedicated Drawing app replaces the old hidden handwriting interface. Accessible from the + menu, it uses the familiar pens, colours and drawing controls found in Notes and Markup, with finished drawings sent as images. Mail Mail gains more context-aware smart replies, including responses that can better match the users usual writing style. Apple Intelligence can also surface information from Mail elsewhere in iOS. For example, the Phone app could retrieve a flight confirmation number from an email when you call an airline. Phone A new Call Context feature can surface information that may be useful when calling a business. Apple says the information is selected according to who you are calling rather than by listening to the conversation. For example, calling an airline could cause iOS to surface the relevant flight confirmation from Mail. Birthday reminders can also appear when calling contacts whose birthdays are stored on the iPhone. FaceTime FaceTime gains Dual Capture, allowing the front and rear cameras to be used at the same time during a call. Passwords Passwords in iOS 27 will fix things for you. Apple The Passwords app will continue to warn about weak, reused and compromised credentials, but iOS 27 goes a step further by offering to fix some of them automatically. Using Apple Intelligence, Passwords can visit supported websites, change a vulnerable password and save the replacement credentials. See: Apple got rid of my biggest password headache . The usefulness of the feature will depend on how widely websites are supported and how well it handles obstacles such as two-factor authentication and unusual account-management interfaces. Shortcuts Shortcuts gains Describe a Shortcut, allowing users to create automations simply by explaining what they want to happen. Apple Intelligence will interpret the request and assemble the appropriate actions across supported apps, potentially making Shortcuts significantly easier to use for people unfamiliar with building automations manually. Calendar Calendar can create or modify events from natural-language instructions. Apple says the app can recognise contacts, locations, dates and other event details as users type, reducing the amount of information that needs to be entered manually. Image Playground Image Playground is becoming considerably more powerful. Apple says it can create photorealistic images and lets users modify generated pictures simply by describing the changes they want. Individual objects can also be selected, resized or repositioned. AI-generated images will include a SynthID watermark identifying them as synthetic content. Wallet Wallet can create custom passes from QR codes. Users can add their own fields and information to the pass, and passes automatically sync to Apple Watch. Home app Apple Intelligence comes to the Home app for compatible HomeKit Secure Video cameras. It can group related camera notifications, describe recorded video and highlight clips that appear particularly noteworthy. Maps Apple Maps improves Flyover using higher-quality aerial imagery and Visual Intelligence models. Apple says this produces sharper architectural detail and more realistic rendering of elements such as individual trees. Podcasts Video podcasts become easier to use, with improved controls for switching between watching a podcast and simply listening to it. Fitness Workout summaries have been redesigned to make them easier to share. Users can also hide completed Fitness+ workouts. iOS 27 changes beyond the iPhone CarPlay CarPlay gains an audio scrubber, giving drivers and passengers more direct control when moving through audio tracks and other content. AirPods iOS 27 introduces several new AirPods features . A new Custom EQ lets users independently adjust bass, mids and treble using a simple three-band equalizer under Settings > AirPods > Audio and Routing > Equalizer > Custom. Compatible AirPods also gain improved Precision Finding through Find My, making individual earbuds easier to locate. Some features require both iOS 27 and compatible AirPods firmware. Read How to tune your AirPods with a custom EQ in iOS 27 . Other changes coming with iOS 27 Its not only individual apps that will see changes. Home Screen and landscape mode Apple is making iOS significantly more flexible when dealing with different screen orientations and sizes. More Apple apps now work properly in landscape, including Health, Home, Music, Weather and Watch. Dynamic Island and Live Activities can also adapt to landscape orientation. The Home Screen additionally supports extra-large widgets. These changes could simply improve iPhone usability, but they also appear well suited to Apples expected folding iPhone, which is likely to have an unusual, wider aspect ratio. Evidence within Apples software also includes new foldState and angleDegrees variables that could allow apps to respond to whether a device is folded and at what angle. iPhone Mirroring in macOS 27 has similarly become freely resizable, with Apple apps dynamically rearranging their interfaces as the window changes shape. Liquid Glass refinements Apple Apple says Liquid Glass has been refined for better readability, more uniform refraction and improved contrast. A new slider lets users adjust the look from ultraclear to fully tinted, while updated icons, toolbars, sidebars and window shapes add polish. Ringtones, alarms and alert volume iOS 27 finally separates several sound-volume controls . Instead of one combined Ringtone and Alerts slider, users can independently adjust: Ringtones Alarms and timers Alerts and system sounds The change is optional. Under Settings > Sounds & Haptics, turning off Match Ringtone Volume reveals separate controls. Media and call volume continue to work independently as before. Keyboard iOS 27 introduces a new quick-paste control above the keyboard. It lets you paste recently copied text, images or screenshots without having to long-press inside a text field, making everyday copy-and-paste considerably faster. Apple has also made the Liquid Glass keyboard design more consistent across apps. Privacy and Find My iOS 27 introduces the ability to temporarily pause Find My location sharing without notifying the person with whom the location is normally shared. Recovery and troubleshooting Apple is also expanding the iPhones recovery interface, giving users more options for diagnosing problems and recovering an iPhone without immediately connecting it to another device. System changes and how iOS 27 will make your iPhone faster Alongside the headline AI features, Apple says iOS 27 includes a wide range of under-the-hood improvements designed to make iPhones faster , smoother and more efficient. Apple says apps can launch up to 30% faster, newly taken photos can appear in the Photos library up to 70% faster, and AirDrop transfers can be up to 80% quicker. External drive transfers should also improve, while updates to network performance and the system-wide search index are designed to make connectivity and finding information faster. The company has also reworked core technologies including CPU scheduling, display performance and processing efficiency. These changes should benefit older iPhones in particular, with Apple promising smoother performance and more efficient battery use on devices as old as the iPhone 11 and second-generation iPhone SE. Our testing of the iOS 27 beta supports those claims. On an iPhone 11 Pro Max, Camera launch time fell from 0.98 seconds in iOS 26 to 0.65 seconds in iOS 27, while Maps improved from 3.01 seconds to 1.36 seconds. Everyday use also feels smoother, with more fluid animations, unlocking, Control Center and app transitions. The phone ran cooler during testing too, which could point to improved system efficiency and potentially better battery performance. More broadly, iOS 27 appears focused on refinement rather than simply adding new features. Apple says it has addressed dozens of common user frustrations, while changes such as more adjustable Liquid Glass effects are intended to improve readability and general usability. That focus should make iOS 27 particularly worthwhile for owners of older iPhones, even on models that do not support Siri AI.

Roman Loyola/IDG According to Apple, iOS 27 supports iPhones back to the iPhone 11 and second-generation iPhone SE, although some Apple Intelligence and Siri AI features require newer hardware. Support for iOS 27 does not mean every device gets every feature. Apple Intelligence requires an iPhone 15 Pro or iPhone 16 or later, while the most advanced on-device AI models require an iPhone 17 Pro or iPhone Air. On iPad, Apple Intelligence requires an M1-class model or the A17 Pro iPad mini, while the newest on-device models require an M4 iPad with at least 12GB of RAM. There had been speculation that the iPhone 11 series and iPhone SE 2 would miss out on iOS 27 after leaker Instant Digital claimed on Weibo that the 2019 iPhone 11, 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max, along with the 2020 iPhone SE 2, would no longer be supported. That prediction proved incorrect, giving those models at least one more year of software support. However, the iPhone 11 generation is nearing the end of its support life. As we explain in our guide to how long Apple supports iPhones , the iPhone 11 Pro and 11 Pro Max have already been added to Apples Vintage iPhone list . The iOS 27 compatibility list is: iPhone 17e (launched in 2026 ) iPhone 17 , 17 Pro / 17 Pro Max (launched in 2025 ) iPhone Air (launched in 2025 ) iPhone 16e (launched in 2025 ) iPhone 16 / 16 Plus and iPhone 16 Pro / 16 Pro Max (launched in 2024 ) iPhone 15 / 15 Plus and iPhone 15 Pro / 15 Pro Max (launched in 2023 ) iPhone 14 / 14 Plus / 14 Pro / 14 Pro Max (launched in 2022 ) iPhone SE 3 (launched in 2022 ) iPhone 13 / 13 mini / 13 Pro / 13 Pro Max (launched in 2021 ) iPhone 12 / 12 mini / 12 Pro / 12 Pro Max (launched in 2020 ) iPhone SE 2 (launched in 2020 ) iPhone 11 / 11 Pro / 11 Pro Max (launched in 2019 ) The main dividing line for Apple Intelligence remains the iPhone 15 Pro generation: the standard iPhone 15 and all older models can run iOS 27, but they do not support Apple Intelligence. FAQ 1. When is iOS 27 coming out? Apple hasnt confirmed exactly when iOS 27 will be available to install, but it usually launches to the general public in September, or at the latest October. Once iOS 27 launches Apple will likely continue beta development to test new features that werent available at launch. 2. Should I install the iOS 27 beta? Installing a beta lets you test new features ahead of release, so you may be keen to install the beta on your iPhone, but before you do beware of the risks. For most users, the recommendation is simple: dont install the beta. Pre-release software can be unstable. Bugs, performance issues, and app incompatibility are common as Apple uses the beta period to identify and fix problems before the final version launches. If, despite our warnings, youre still eager to try the new features, be sure to make a backup of all important information, passwords, and so on. If you want to uninstall the iOS 27 beta read: How to remove an iOS beta from your iPhone. 3. Which iPhones get iOS 27? The iPhone 11 and iPhone SE 2 and newer get iOS 27. However, the new Siri voices feature requires iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro or newer.
