RISION Torix, A $169 Thermal Camera That Finds Water Leaks And Hot Wires in Seconds

RISION Torix After releasing its Magic series , two USB-C thermal camera modules for smartphones, RISION is launching its first standalone handheld model, the Torix . The Magic ($119 at launch) is aimed at homeowners and the Magic Pro ($229) adds analysis tools for inspectors, but both need to be clipped onto a phone. As of today, the Magic ranks #4 in Amazons best sellers for thermal imagers , and it is the top-selling smartphone model on that list. I saw the RISION Magic series at IFA 2026. The RISION Magic smartphone module is so sensitive it can detect residual heat from a palm resting on a wooden surface, even several seconds after the hand is removed. The Torix embeds its own display and battery, so there is no need to rely on a smartphone to find a hot breaker, a cold draft, a water leak, or an overloaded wire. Pre-orders open today on RISIONs website , with an early-bird price of $169 down from the regular $219. RISION developed it for HVAC technicians, building inspectors, mechanics, and serious DIYers who want a pocketable and affordable tool that delivers the information they need fast, with one hand free. According to the company, the camera starts instantly, displays the thermal image on a 2.8-inch screen , and runs for more than 10 hours on a single charge . A full recharge takes about an hour . It is rated IP54 against dust and splashes and is built to survive a 2-meter drop . The sensor is 160 x 120, behind a 2.6 mm lens . RISION claims 320 x 240 output through its QuadIR super resolution processing . That image is upscaled from the native sensor, so how much real detail it adds will depend on how well the processing is done. Thermal sensitivity is listed at 40 mK or better, with a 25 Hz refresh rate , a measurement range of -20C to 550C (-4F to 1,022F) , and accuracy of 2C or 2% . One key feature is the alarm . You set high and low temperature limits, and when a reading crosses either one, the Torix shows a red alert and automatically saves a full radiometric image. Interval capture can take a shot as often as every 10 seconds, helping track issues that show up randomly. Photos and MP4 video are stored on an SD card and can be transferred to a computer over USB-C. RISIONs free Smart software for Windows adds measurement tools and report generation. At $169 , the Torix lands right next to Topdons TC004 Mini , which is $158.99 on sale with a 128 x 128 native sensor and a 25 Hz refresh rate. The Torix has a bit more native detail and records video, which the Mini cant do. FLIRs C5 has the same 160 x 120 resolution but runs at a much lower 8.7 Hz refresh rate and costs $699, though it adds a visible-light camera and Wi-Fi. For a real step up in sharpness, Topdons TC004 has a native 256 x 192 sensor for $299. At the early-bird price, the Torix offers the best bang for the buck among entry-level standalone thermal cameras. Open sales begin November 16 on RISIONs site and on Amazon. We have not tested one yet, so the battery and durability numbers are RISIONs claims for now.

iPhone Duo Owners Complain About Cracking Folding Display; iFixit Teardown Tries to Explain Why

iPhone Duo owners are complaining that the foldable display of their handsets has started developing cracks. Reddit user u/leftyhyzer16 on the subreddit r/iPhoneDuo posted a picture of his new iPhone Duo, which had developed a crack on its foldable screen right in the middle of the display, where the crease is. Along with the crack, the display of his unit has seemingly also developed a green line of pixels running vertically and another band running horizontally. iFixit, in his iPhone Duo teardown video and blog post, called Apples foldable the most repairable foldable, while highlighting that it has a huge screen problem. iFixit writes that the issue could possibly be because the support bar in the middle failed to retract properly in specific cases, which put pressure on the flexible screen of the iPhone Duo, causing the cracks. The second theory says that the curved rails of the hinge could be causing the screen to break.

Apple Display Veterans Step Back as New Leaders Take Over

Two executives who have spent roughly three decades each at Apple are handing over responsibility for its displays, as part of a broader series of engineering leadership changes reported by Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman . Victor Yin now oversees much of Apple's display development following years of preparation under Wei Chen and John Zhong. Chen and Zhong, each with approximately 30 years at the company, are taking on more limited responsibilities as advisers. Gurman describes their eventual departures as part of a succession process that has been underway for several years. Apple's October promotions also include engineering leaders Rajesh Ambati, Louie Sanguinetti, and Derek Shaeffer, who have all become vice presidents. Their work covers connectivity hardware and software, with Sanguinetti's contributions to wireless hardware stretching back decades. The appointments follow Apple's decision to expand Johny Srouji's role to chief hardware officer, bringing hardware engineering and hardware technologies under his leadership. A subsequent reorganization of product development sought to improve coordination between the teams designing Apple's chips and devices. Gurman also reports that some hardware program managers have been laid off in recent weeks as Srouji and CEO John Ternus remove management layers. The cuts follow earlier reports of Ternus' efforts to accelerate product development and reduce the number of positions between engineers and senior leadership. Elsewhere at Apple, App Store head Carson Oliver has received a vice president title, while Steve Smith has taken charge of corporate development. Both appointments were reported earlier this month .

Apple Addresses Web Security Threat, Working on macOS Update With Additional Fix

Earlier this month, a security researcher discovered that private cryptographic keys associated with eight of Indian company eMudhra's intermediate certificate authority (CA) certificates were weak. The compromised keys could have allowed attackers to impersonate legitimate websites, potentially putting users' sensitive information at risk. However, there is currently no evidence that the keys were exploited maliciously. eMudhra's certificates were widely trusted by all major web browsers, including Safari, Chrome, Edge, and Firefox, but Apple and the other companies behind those browsers have since taken action to protect users. In a support document , Apple said it has been blocking eMudhra's compromised TLS web certificates since October 19 in Safari, Mail, and apps that use Apple's networking and security frameworks. The certificates are blocked automatically with no software update required, so most Apple device owners do not need to take any action. There is one exception. Apple said those who use macOS command-line tools, such as system administrators, should be aware that some of those tools can still accept the compromised certificates until Apple releases a macOS update with a fix. In the meantime, Apple said those who use command-line tools can remove root CA certificates from the /etc/ssl/cert.pem file, with more details outlined in the support document. Apple has not provided a release date for the macOS update that will include the necessary changes to the /etc/ssl/cert.pem file by default.

Adjust iPhone Duo

On iPhone Duo, Apple includes a display setting for cases or frames that partially cover the left edge of the outer display. It's called Shift Left Edge, and it insets the display edge so that on-screen content isn't hidden beneath the case. We first covered the setting in September, and Apple has since documented it, revealing that when you fit Apple's official iPhone Duo Case , a prompt automatically appears on the display to direct you to the setting. However, you can also turn it on manually at any time for third-party cases. How to Turn On Shift Left Edge Open the Settings app on your iPhone Duo. Tap Display & Brightness . Toggle on Shift Left Edge , then tap Enable in the prompt that appears. The final prompt will tell you that your iPhone Duo needs to restart to apply the setting, but it's not a full reboot, and you'll be returned to the same settings screen after a brief black screen. If you subsequently swipe up to the Home Screen, you'll notice a narrow black border on the left side of the outer screen to accommodate the front portion of the case, leaving no content obscured. Apple offers two official cases for its new foldable: the aforementioned iPhone Duo Case , and a Folio with Kickstand that causes no such display occlusion.

iFixit iPhone Duo Teardown Points to Possible Cause of Screen Cracks

Teardown site iFixit took apart the iPhone Duo to see what's inside, how it holds up to dust, and how repairable it is. There's a video walking through the teardown, as well as a blog post summing it up . Before opening up the Duo, iFixit inundated it with fluorescent dust. The iPhone Duo has an IP68 dust and water resistance rating, which means it's sealed against dust. iFixit found dust in the USB-C port, speaker mesh, and bezel, but few particles reached the internals of the device. Particles did infiltrate the hinge, causing it to crunch, and that could lead to screen damage. The iPhone Duo's hinge gathered less dust than the Galaxy Z Fold8 or the Pixel 11 Pro Fold during similar tests. iFixit said the result is encouraging, but suggested it's not a great device for the beach because some dust still got to moving parts. YouTuber JerryRigEverything also did a dust test where particles entered the hinge and caused the magnets that hold the phone shut to fail. iFixit was able to peel the cover layer away easily, which is as Apple intended. Apple made the nano-texture cover layer simple to remove so it could be replaced inexpensively, but you're not supposed to take it off on your own. With AppleCare +, replacing the cover layer is $19, and it's $49 without it. The iPhone Duo uses the battery adhesive Apple introduced with the iPhone 16 , so a small electrical charge loosens the adhesive and allows the batteries to be removed. iFixit said it was the est battery removal experience from a foldable to date. The outer display was easy to take off, and iFixit said the construction is obust, which is a plus for repairability since most internal repairs have to go through the outer display. The inner screen trim comes off with heat, but there is a lot of adhesive to get through to remove the inner panel. Apple describes the iPhone Duo's inner display as a 10-layer stack, and iFixit was able to peel back some of the layers to get a look at them under the microscope. The iPhone Duo uses an unstacked logic board, and it's the first iPhone to do so since the iPhone 8. The single-layer design is one way Apple kept the Duo thin. iFixit commented on some of the display failures people have been seeing, suggesting they could be caused by pressure, a trapped particle, repeated bending, or a manufacturing defect. It may not be that the display has physically snapped, because a wiring problem can cause the same effect. Where most of the faulty units are experiencing issues, the hinge has a different shape. The failure spot is also near where the accordion cable passes by and where several edges meet, which could be leading to a concentration of stress in that spot. From iFixit: To see where the stresses build up from folding, we built a 3D hinge model from teardown footage, patents, and CT scans, then compared it with the reported damage locations. The breaks cluster near the transition from the gap for the crossing flex cable to the central hinge support. The damage we're seeing in photos isn't right where the display cable passes through the hinge, but slightly lower, at a point where several edges meet and change how the thin display is supported as it bends. iFixit said it could also be the curved rails of the hinge that follow the screen's pivot points. The curved rails may be lifting above the flat plates of the hinge as the phone closes, and one rail lines up with the damage. It's possible a hinge component that's meant to retract isn't doing so, but there's no clear answer. The site has an interactive CT scan of the iPhone Duo's hinge that shows how the supports, cable, and components fit beneath the display for anyone who wants to take a look. With a repair manual available on day one, an option to remove the outer display intact, and batteries that release with an electrical charge, iFixit gave the iPhone Duo a provisional repair score of 5 out of 10. The inner display and hinge assembly are the biggest vulnerabilities, which cost the Duo points. This is the most repairable foldable smartphone we've seen so far, and it's still going to be a bear to repair, said iFixit. The Galaxy Z Fold8 and Pixel 11 Pro Fold both scored 4 out of 10.

Apple Stores Reportedly Rolling Out New Anti-Theft System for iPhones

Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman today reported that Apple is facing a growing problem where some people will buy iPhones or other products and either remove accessories from the box, open up the device and remove components, and/or remove the entire device, and then attempt to return the box hoping that the employee will not notice. When a customer seeks to return an iPhone, he said that Apple's retail employees have ordinarily been instructed to open the box and verify the contents, but Apple has since come up with a solution that will cut down on wasted inventory. In his Power On newsletter today, Gurman said Apple has started providing retail employees with a device that can scan an in-box iPhone and run diagnostics on it to make sure the phone is fully intact, leaving the box sealed and able to be put back into inventory. Apple began rolling out this device to stores earlier this month, he said.

Apple Reportedly Announcing New MacBook Pro With OLED Touchscreen on Wednesday

Apple plans to unveil 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro models with touch-enabled OLED displays on Wednesday, October 28, according to Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman. Those invited to Apple's Pro and tell experience in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. Pacific Time on that day will likely receive hands-on time with the laptops after they are announced in a press release. In his Power On newsletter today , Gurman reiterated that these MacBook Pro models will look similar to the current models, but weigh less and feature a Dynamic Island instead of a notch at the top of the screen. He previously reported that the laptops will be powered by Apple's existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips released back in March. With a costlier OLED display, the new MacBook Pro models are expected to be more expensive. In the U.S., pricing for the existing models with mini-LED displays and M5 Pro and M5 Max chips starts at $2,499 for the 14-inch model and at $2,999 for the 16-inch model, and starting prices for the new models could be up to $500 higher. macOS Golden Gate is said to feature a dynamic interface for touch input. The system will take previous interactions into account, presenting controls based on whether someone has been touching the display or using the trackpad, explained Gurman. Touching a button can also bring up a menu around the user's finger, while the Dock and Menu Bar have been optimized for touch. Apple will position touch as an additional input method that customers can use when it makes sense, alongside the keyboard and trackpad, he said. The existing MacBook Pro models with mini-LED displays will remain part of Apple's lineup for now, but they will eventually be discontinued, he added.

iPhone 18 Pro Max Review: Powerful, Polished, but Who Should Actually Upgrade?

The iPhone 18 Pro Max is a refined flagship rather than a major leap over the iPhone 17 Pro Max. Its familiar design and excellent display remain largely unchanged, while the A20 Pro delivers effortless performance and manageable heat during demanding games. The variable-aperture camera adds welcome creative control, and iOS 27 brings a refreshed interface with a slight learning curve. Battery life is the standout: it lasted nearly a day and a half in our testing, comfortably outlasting its predecessor. At a starting price of Rs. 1,79,900, it suits older iPhone owners more than recent upgraders.

How to Turn Off Location Tracking for Apps on Android and iOS

Android and iPhone users can manage which apps have access to their location through their phone's privacy settings. Both platforms let users block location access entirely or allow it only while an app is in use. They also offer options to limit access to precise location, where supported. However, restricting location permissions does not prevent every form of location estimation, as apps may still use information such as an IP address. Reviewing app permissions can help users decide which apps need location access.

Apple Wants to Fix Safari

Apple is considering changes to Safari on the iPhone Duo that would give websites access to more of the outer display, although the company has yet to settle on an approach. The challenge is allowing pages to occupy the area beneath Safari's side-mounted controls without making parts of a website inaccessible. In an Friday, October 23 WebKit post , Apple's Jen Simmons explained that an existing web setting could enable this, but Apple's research suggests many sites would not handle it correctly. That setting, viewport-fit=cover, allows a webpage to expand into areas that would otherwise be reserved. Website developers must then leave enough space around important content to prevent it from being covered by the interface. According to Simmons, many sites fail to make those allowances on every edge. Apple is investigating whether another solution could offer developers more control with less risk of obscuring content. A header's background could, for example, span the screen while its navigation links remain within the unobstructed portion. For now, Safari 27.1 restricts webpages to the area beside the controls and uses the page's background color to fill the remaining strip. This limits the width available for content on the outer display. The arrangement stems from the screen's proportions. Apple placed controls along the side of the device because the outer display is shorter and wider than other iPhone screens, preserving more height for apps and webpages. Separately, Safari 27.1 adds automatic two-page PDF viewing when the iPhone Duo is held partially folded like a book. Flattening or closing the device returns the document to a single-page view. Developers can also test experimental support for detecting the screen's folding posture and positioning content around the device's middle fold. Those features are available behind Safari feature flags, while the proposed change to content beneath the controls remains under investigation.

FIX 2026 Innovation Awards: 9 Best Innovation Technology Winners in Robotics, AI, and Mobility

FIX 2026 recognized nine companies for innovations in humanoid robotics, autonomous vehicles, industrial AI, cybersecurity, and data center cooling. At FIX 2026 in Daegu , South Korea, nine companies presented their technologies at a press conference highlighting the winners of the Best Innovation Technology Awards , FIX 2026s highest distinction. A panel of 26 judges selected the nine winners from 209 applicants, representing three sectors: future mobility, robotics, and AI/ICT. Another 22 companies received Innovation Awards, bringing the total to 31 winners , including six companies from the Daegu-Gyeongbuk region. For last years winners, please check my article here. Among the most interesting technologies were Tesollo s robotic hand, designed to reproduce human dexterity, and AeiROBOT s latest bipedal humanoid robot, Alice 5 . Both address major technical challenges facing the next generation of humanoid robots. Robotics: Reproducing Human Dexterity and Movement Tesollo: Advancing Human-Like Robotic Hands South Korean robotics company Tesollo , led by CEO Young-jin Kim, received a Best Innovation Technology Award for its DG-5F-M robotic hand, which features five fingers and 20 degrees of freedom for human-like manipulation. At FIX 2026, Tesollo also showcased the newer DG-5F-S , a compact version weighing just 880 grams , according to the company. Both models aim to address one of the key challenges in humanoid robotics: reproducing the dexterity, gripping strength, and precise finger movements of the human hand. Using proprietary actuator technology , Tesollo is developing robotic hands that can perform increasingly complex manipulation tasks. The company claims its designs combine dexterity, precision, and compactness, though independent comparisons with competing products are still needed. Its three-finger DG-3F05 won a CES 2025 Innovation Award in Robotics . AeiROBOT: Alice 5 Moves from Wheels to Legs AeiROBOT presented ALICE 5 , its latest bipedal humanoid robot, representing a significant technological evolution from its earlier wheeled Alice M1 and M2 platforms. Standing approximately 170 cm tall and weighing 50 kg, Alice 5 features 43 degrees of freedom and uses NVIDIAs Jetson Thor computing platform. Its proprietary hybrid actuation system combines quasi-direct-drive actuators in the upper body with linear actuators in the legs. This architecture is designed to balance responsive upper-body manipulation with the strength and stability required for bipedal locomotion. Compared with wheeled humanoids, a legged robot can navigate stairs, obstacles, and environments designed for people without requiring modifications to the surroundings. Alice 5 also supports interchangeable robotic hands for different tasks. AeiROBOT is already testing its ALICE robots in industrial environments, including PCB manufacturing (Alice M1) and shipyards (Alice 5) operated by HD Hyundai and Hanwha Ocean . Alice 5 has undergone fire-response demonstrations at HD Korea Shipbuilding & Offshore Engineering, while planned applications include firefighting, ship cleaning involving hazardous chemicals, and other dangerous shipyard tasks . The company is targeting broader industrial deployment by 2028. Future Mobility: Smarter Vehicles and Automotive Components Onepredict: AI-Native Factory Onepredict is expanding its predictive maintenance expertise into an AI Native Factory solution that integrates manufacturing data and equipment management. Traditional predictive maintenance systems identify potential failures. Onepredict goes further by linking equipment health data to production operations, helping manufacturers make better maintenance and operational decisions. Its advantage lies in combining industrial equipment diagnostics with a broader manufacturing AI platform. SWM: Advancing Autonomous Robotaxis Through its SVMW.ai autonomous driving technology, SWM is developing urban robotaxi service s that operate without fixed routes. The company has already launched autonomous driving services in Seouls Gangnam district. and introduced paid commercial operations with a safety driver onboard. Its AP-700 autonomous driving platform delivers a claimed 2,000 TOPS of computing performance to process sensor information and AI models. Unlike fixed-route autonomous shuttles, SWM targets flexible passenger pickup and drop-off services, though widespread Level 4 driverless deployment remains challenging. Perseus: Software-Defined Vehicles Perseus received recognition for PEGASUS , its hypervisor technology for software-defined vehicles . Certified to ISO 26262 ASIL-D, Pegasus runs several operating systems, such as the digital cockpit and vehicle control, isolated on a single chip. As cars become increasingly software-driven, automakers need to consolidate functions previously managed by separate electronic control units. Pegasus is designed to let multiple software environments operate on shared vehicle hardware while maintaining isolation between functions. This approach could reduce hardware complexity and simplify automotive software development and updates. HJWave: Better Radar for Autonomous Vehicles HJWave develops advanced 3D waveguide antennas for automotive radar systems. Its technology uses a specialized waveguide structure to reduce signal losses and improve radar resolution and detection coverage. Compared with conventional PCB-based antennas, HJWave reports improvements in signal consistency and a wider detection angle. Better radar performance could help autonomous vehicles more reliably detect pedestrians, obstacles, and surrounding traffic, especially when cameras face poor visibility. It holds Korean and US patents, received a European patent grant decision in June 2026, and signed a supply agreement with an undisclosed global autonomous-driving company. AI/ICT: Cooling, Cybersecurity, and Autonomous Factories CENS: Precision Cooling for AI Servers CENS presented its CENS-D130 precision spray cooling technology, developed to address the growing heat generated by powerful AI servers. Instead of immersing entire servers in cooling liquid, the system sprays electrically nonconductive fluid directly onto heat-generating components. AI-based controls adjust cooling delivery according to changing thermal demand. CENS claims its targeted approach can substantially reduce cooling-fluid requirements compared with full immersion systems, potentially lowering equipment weight, maintenance complexity, and operating costs. WACE: Letting AI Make Factory Decisions WACE s VEXPLOR , a manufacturing AI operating system, aims to move industrial AI beyond dashboards and recommendations. The software standardizes factory data, supports evidence-based operational decisions, and connects AI-generated instructions to programmable logic controllers (PLCs) , which operate industrial equipment. VEXPLOR stands apart from conventional factory monitoring platforms by connecting AI decision-making directly to machine control. Its safety layer hands control to AI, one verified level at a time, and blocks unsafe commands. PotatoNet: Detecting Hidden Cybersecurity Threats PotatoNet , led by CEO KyoungA Shin, develops OLPEMI , an AI-powered cybersecurity platform that identifies malicious URLs and hidden threats, including those in the deep web. Its technology focuses on discovering malicious websites, phishing infrastructure, and threats that conventional URL databases may not recognize quickly enough. OLPEMI also protects against web-server attacks and malicious links encountered on mobile devices. Its proactive threat intelligence approach aims to identify dangerous web destinations before users or organizations are compromised.

Skip the Touch ID Scan: Unlock iPhone Duo With Apple Watch

iPhone Duo uses a Touch ID sensor built into the side button for authentication. Some may feel this is a step backwards after almost a decade of Face ID on iPhones, but if you wear an Apple Watch, you can use it to unlock your iPhone Duo instead. This way, you don't need to touch the side button at all. It's the closest thing we have to a seamless Face ID experience on iPhone Duo ( at least for now ). The feature is called Unlock with Apple Watch. It's not new to iPhone, but it works reliably. Note that your Apple Watch needs to be a Series 9 or later, an Ultra 2 or later, or an SE 3. Here's how to turn on the feature and start using it. Turn On Unlock With Apple Watch Open the Settings app on your iPhone Duo. Tap Touch ID & Passcode , then enter your passcode. Scroll down to Unlock with Nearby Devices. Toggle on the switch next to your Apple Watch. If you have more than one watch paired with your iPhone Duo, toggle it on for each one. Unlock iPhone Duo With Your Watch Make sure your Apple Watch is on your wrist and unlocked, and close to your iPhone Duo. Wake iPhone Duo by raising it or tapping the screen. (If it's closed, opening it also wakes it.) Swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen to dismiss the Lock Screen. From here on, your Apple Watch will handle the authentication no fingerprint shenanigans required. The swipe up is still needed to get past the Lock Screen, but you can turn off this additional step in Settings .

The bend test then left a permanent green line across the inner display, before the screen became unresponsive. The outer screen with Ceramic Shield 2 scratched at level 7 on the Mohs scale, but the inner screen only managed level 2, although credit was given for its matte nano-texture coating making marks magically disappear.

Make iPhone Duo Volume Buttons Follow Screen Rotation

Because of the iPhone Duo's foldable design, you tend to switch the orientation of the device more often than you would a regular iPhone. This makes the volume buttons shift positions a lot relative to your fingers, which can cause you to press volume up when you meant to press down, or vice versa. To prevent this, the iPhone Duo has an option in Settings which can dynamically remap the buttons as you rotate the device, so that the button on the top or right always turns the volume up, while the one on the bottom or left always turns it down. The system setting works by disabling the mechanism that keeps the volume controls in a fixed position whichever way you hold the phone. The following steps show you how it's done. Open the Settings app. Tap Sounds & Haptics . Turn off Fixed Position Volume Controls . With the switch off, the volume buttons automatically adjust as you rotate your iPhone Duo, so volume up is always the button on the top or right, whichever way you're holding it. Turn the switch back on if you'd rather each button kept the same function in every orientation. The only thing to note is that if Orientation Lock is on, then the volume button configuration will follow the orientation that your iPhone Duo is locked to, rather than the way you're holding it. Apple's documentation suggests dynamic volume buttons is the default behavior, but this hasn't been the case on the few units we've tested so far.
