Pinos Korea AI Helps Wellness Brands Avoid Costly Rework
A wellness product can sound simple until it has to cross a border. The same supplement formula may need a different dose, label claim, price, manufacturing setup, or sales channel depending on where it is sold. Miss one dependency, and a company can discover a problem only after it has substantially spent on product development and production planning. That is the risk Pinos Korea wants to address with PINOS-X, a B2B decision-support platform for companies developing and launching wellness products internationally . The company says the software is meant to connect the inputs that teams often handle separately: scientific evidence, ingredients, regulations, formulation, manufacturing readiness, pricing, distribution margins, and country-by-country launch plans. Worldwide dietary supplements are not governed by one universal rulebook. In the U.S., manufacturers and distributors are responsible for ensuring a supplements safety and labeling before it reaches the market, while the U.S FDA can take action against products that are misbranded. Canada takes a different approach for natural health products, requiring product licences and, for relevant activities, site licences. For a smaller brand it means that a decision about an ingredient or a marketing claim can affect manufacturing, unit economics, and launch timing. Pinos Koreas argument is that those potential effects should be modeled before a company commits much of its budget. I met CEO Howard Han Do Kim in person at a July media gathering in Seoul. He framed PINOS-X to put the real tradeoffs of a launch into one decision process. A brand might want to sell a nutritional supplement in several countries, he said, but must account for varying regulations, consumer expectations, pricing structures, margins, and distribution channels at the same time. Pinos Korea CEO Howard Han Do Kim (right) during an interview with Ubergizmo Editor-in-Chief Hubert Nguyen | Photo by AVING News The company says users would enter a product brief and its assumptions, then use PINOS-X to model options. The promised output is deliberately plain: proceed in a market, adapt the plan, or hold it. In the companys terminology, those outcomes are GO, ADAPT, and HOLD. Under the hood, Pinos describes a system that ties constraints together, so a change to an ingredient dose or permitted claim can force a review of the related product and business assumptions. The company uses eight analytical modules and runs at least 10,000 simulations for a scenario. It also says each analysis receives a Run ID recording sources, assumptions, risks, alternatives, and exceptions. That auditability is potentially the most interesting part of the pitch. Generative AI is good at producing plausible explanations, but a business making a regulatory or manufacturing decision needs to know which assumption changed and who should review it. A durable record is critical, especially when a product team has to explain why it abandoned or modified a plan. The companys current revenue comes from professional services, while PINOS-X subscriptions and licences are not yet producing product revenue. The startups experience workflow is the foundational piece of the puzzle, but the AI automation can achieve scale. Pinos Korea says it was established in 2024 and has worked on health and biotech commercialization services, including market-entry strategy and feasibility assessments. Its public site describes a broader role: connecting science, product design, compliance, economics, and market entry before a company makes costly commitments. The company is targeting a first commercial launch of PINOS-X in January 2027 and plans to demonstrate multi-country launch scenarios at CES 2027. It says it is prioritizing review of the U.S. and Canada, followed by markets including Australia, Germany, Malaysia, and Vietnam.

MakeMake Tumbler Wants to Make Hard Water Easier on Your Skin and Hair
Hard water can leave hair feeling dry, skin feeling tight, and soap harder to rinse away. MakeMake believes it has a portable answer: PERLUO, a battery-free tumbler that prepares a small amount of softer water for personal cleansing. PERLUO is NOT a water bottle or a drinking-water purifier. Instead, it is meant for people to use water on their face, hair, or skin. Fill the bottle with tap water, add its replaceable cartridge, shake it for about 60 seconds, and use the treated water as part of a washing or rinsing routine. MakeMake says its cartridge is designed to reduce hardness minerals such as calcium and magnesium, as well as certain trace metals that may be present in water. Those are company claims, and the products real-world performance will need independent testing.The consumer idea is straightforward: reduce the residue that can remain on hair and skin after washing with hard water. App screen of MAKEMAKEs non-powered portable soft water tumbler PERLUO The ideal audience is people who already notice the effects of hard water. That includes travelers dealing with unpredictable hotel water, apartment dwellers in hard-water regions, and people with dry-feeling hair or skin who want more control over their cleansing routine. It could also appeal to skincare enthusiasts who use filtered showerheads at home but do not have that option at the gym, on a trip, or in a rental. The Korean beauty-tech startup first focused on swimmers with its SOOO brand, which targets chlorine residue after time in a pool. PERLUO represents a broader move into what MakeMake calls water stress care: products designed around the quality of water that comes into contact with skin and hair. MAKEMAKE CEO Hyoseob Kwak (left) during an interview with Ubergizmo Co-founder Hubert Nguyen | Photo by AVING News Unlike a shower filter, PERLUO does not require installation, electricity, or plumbing. Its portable design is its central appeal, even if it also creates a limitation: it prepares only the amount of water that fits inside the tumbler. That makes it better suited to a face rinse, a targeted hair rinse, or a compact personal-care ritual than to replacing a full shower filter. MakeMake plans to debut PERLUO at CES 2027. The companys challenge will be helping consumers understand a use case that many people are not yet aware off: making the water you wash with potentially more comfortable for your skin and hair, wherever you happen to be.

iPhone Ultra: Latest foldable iPhone release date, price, specs and rumors
Macworld Weve been reporting on the supposedly imminent launch of a foldable iPhone for years. There have been strong and reliable rumors of a foldable iPhone being just two years away, dating as far back as 2018 , at least. Back then, reliable reports from the likes of CNBC said Apple was going to have a folding iPhone on the market in 2020. That became 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025 and now its expected to land in 2026 yes, this year! The wait may finally be nearly over: Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone on September 9 alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max , although reports suggest supplies could be limited and some buyers may have to wait longer to get one. Rumors suggest the new model could be called the iPhone Ultra and adopt a book-style design that opens into something resembling a small iPad. Its expected to have an approximately 7.7- to 7.8-inch internal display and a 5.3- to 5.5-inch outer screen, with a wide 4:3 aspect ratio when unfolded. Apple is also said to have focused heavily on making the display crease as unobtrusive as possible while keeping the device exceptionally thin. Inside, were expecting some variation of Apples A20 chip, around 12GB of RAM, Apples C2 cellular modem and potentially the biggest battery yet fitted to an iPhone. Camera rumors point to two 48MP rear cameras and two selfie cameras, but there could be some surprising compromises: the iPhone Ultra may ditch both Face ID and a telephoto camera, using Touch ID in the side button instead. And all that folding technology wont come cheap, with current estimates putting the starting price at around $1,999 and potentially as high as $2,399 for the top configuration. Folding iPhone rumors at a glance Expected launch date : September 9, 2026, but limited supply possible Likely name : iPhone Ultra rather than iPhone Fold Form factor : Book-style, opening to a landscape view about the size of an iPad mini Display : 7.77.8-inch inner display, approx 5.35.5-inch outer Camera : Four cameras, no telephoto Color options : Indigo and white/silver What will the foldable iPhone be called? iPhone Ultra is the expected name Apples first foldable iPhone has long been referred to unofficially as the iPhone Fold, some may even refer to it as the iPhone 18 Fold, but more recent reports suggest the company may launch it as the iPhone Ultra . In March 2026, Mark Gurman at Bloomberg reported that the folding iPhone would be one of several new products positioned in Apples Ultra tier. A month later, Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station (which is hit-and-miss) also claimed Apple was considering the iPhone Ultra name. The strongest indication came more recently, when Gurman wrote on X that everyone calls it the Ultra internally . That makes iPhone Ultra the leading candidate, although it remains possible that Ultra is simply an internal name rather than the final branding. Not everyone is convinced the name fits. Analyst Max Weinbach (to whom Gurman was responding with the above tweet) has argued that the foldable does not seem like an Ultra product in the same sense as Apples other highest-end devices. Everyone calls it the Ultra internally. Well see what happens. Mark Gurman (@markgurman) August 11, 2026 Alternative names floated over the years include iPhone Fold, iPhone Ultra Fold, iPhone Duo, iPhone Passport, iPhone Folio and iPhone Wide. The Passport nickname refers to the devices reportedly wide, passport-like proportions when folded. As of September 2026, however, iPhone Ultra looks like the most credible name. Apple has yet to confirm it, so the final branding may be one of the few surprises left for its Surprise and Shine event on September 9. When will the foldable iPhone launch? September 9, 2026 launch at Apple Event expected; retail availability may follow later Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone at its Surprise and Shine event on September 9, 2026 , alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max . The regular iPhone 18 , 18e or iPhone Air 2 , are instead expected to arrive in spring 2027. There have been conflicting reports about when the foldable will actually go on sale. Nikkei Asia reported that Apple was running behind schedule, but Bloombergs Mark Gurman subsequently said the device was still on track , and could ship at the same time as, or soon after, the iPhone 18 Pro models. Barclays analyst Tim Long has been more cautious, suggesting the foldable may not ship until December. There is also growing evidence in Apples software that the device is close. In June, product designer and engineer Sam Henri Gold found references in the iOS 27 framework to variables named foldState and angleDegrees, apparently designed to tell apps whether a device is folded and at what angle. Macworld independently confirmed those findings. iOS 27 framework references foldState and angleDegrees but Im sure thats nothing pic.twitter.com/PcYNVvymms sam henri gold (@samhenrigold) June 8, 2026 Even if the iPhone Ultra launches on September 9, availability could be tight. During Apples Q3 earnings call , Apple then-CEO Tim Cook warned that that the impact of supply constraints would increase significantly. That raises the possibility that Apple could have limited stock initially, or begin shipping it later than the iPhone 18 Pro models. What are the biggest trade-offs for the folding iPhone Ultra Despite its expected Ultra branding and a price that could reach $2,000$2,500, Apples first foldable iPhone may involve several compromises compared with the iPhone 18 Pro Max . The biggest could be Face ID . Reports suggest the foldable will use a side-mounted Touch ID sensor instead, likely because its unusually thin design leaves less room for Apples TrueDepth hardware. It may also sacrifice some camera capability. The foldable is not expected to include a dedicated telephoto camera , meaning buyers could miss out on the optical zoom available on Apples Pro models. That would be a significant omission on such an expensive iPhone. The hinge also means Apple cannot use the same unibody-style construction as on a conventional iPhone, potentially affecting durability and dust resistance. The device is also expected to be eSIM-only worldwide . There have been questions over MagSafe and wireless charging , partly because of the unusual construction of the rear casing, although more recent reports suggest MagSafe may ultimately be included. Finally, the foldable is expected to run a specially adapted version of iOS rather than iPadOS . Its larger internal display should enable improved multitasking, but it may still fall short of the more desktop-like productivity experience available on an iPad. Taken together, those compromises mean the iPhone Ultra could offer something genuinely new without necessarily being the most fully featured iPhone Apple sells. For some buyers, the iPhone 18 Pro Max may remain the more complete flagship. The folding iPhone will reportedly have a Touch ID-enabled power button rather than Face ID. Foundry What will the folding iPhone look like? How will it fold? Book-like design with a vertical fold rumored Intended to be an iPhone/iPad hybrid Available in silver/white and Indigo Blue Apples rumored iPhone Ultra is reportedly nearing mass production, with its design largely finalized. Heres what current leaks suggest about how the foldable iPhone will look and how the hinge and display may work. What color will the iPhone Ultra be? The iPhone Ultra is expected to launch in just two color options: silver/white and dark blue. Back in August, we reported that Apple was working on an Indigo option for its folding phone. Our sources also say that Apple does not currently plan to offer its first folding iPhone in black or space gray . The blue finish is expected to be particularly dark, reportedly closer to the iPhone 17 Pros Deep Blue than the MacBook Neos Indigo. A subsequent leak shared by Sonny Dickson on Bluesky added weight to those reports, with photos reportedly showing camera protectors in silver and a deep blue shade that could resemble Indigo, Midnight or the iPhone 17 Pros Deep Blue. These iPhone Fold camera protectors give us a look at two of the colors planned for the device: silver and dark blue. Sonny Dickson (@sonnydickson.bsky.social) 2026-08-08T22:44:44.846Z The leaked camera protector matches previous design rumours, showing a horizontal rounded camera bar with openings for two cameras, a microphone and flash. Book-style, iPad hybrid, design Multiple leaks point to a book-style foldable with a large, tablet-like internal display, rather than a compact flip-phone design. The device is expected to function as a hybrid between an iPhone and an iPad. This passport-style design will appear noticeably squarer than a traditional iPhone when closed. When unfolded, its rumored to resemble an iPad mini-like screen with a 4:3 aspect ratio, offering a more expansive viewing experience. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo reported in 2025 that Apples foldable will adopt a dual-display setup, with a strong focus on achieving a near crease-free screen when opened. Other 2025 leaks, including reports from Digital Chat Station on Weibo, also point to a vertical, book-style fold where the left and right sides close together similar to devices like the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold and Samsung Galaxy Z Fold. Dummy models shared by Sonny Dickson on X in April 2026, demonstrate this book-like form factor. The latest leaks and dummy models show the wide passport design of the iPhone Ultra. Sonny Dickson Additional dummy unit images from tech YouTuber Vadim Yuryev, further reinforce this wide, book-like passport design. Vadim Yuryev In December 2025, this 3D image of the iPhone Ultra , based on leaked CAD files, was created by a hobbyist and shared on MakerWorld (now removed), also aligning with these design expectations. Subsy/MakerWorld However, alternative concepts have existed. In 2024, The Information reported that Apple had explored clamshell-style prototypes, where the device folds top-to-bottom, similar to traditional flip phones. This design direction may already be influencing competitors. Our colleagues on TechAdvisor report that Samsung is developing a Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide with a similar 4:3 aspect ratio, potentially positioning it as a direct rival to Apples iPhone Ultra. How Apple is overcoming hinge design and crease reduction challenges Adding a hinge to an iPhone introduces significant engineering challenges that Apple has spent years trying to resolve. While competitors have released multiple generations of foldables, Apples slower entry to the market is widely attributed to its focus on refining the hinge and delivering a more seamless user experience. The biggest technical challenge is the visible and tactile crease where the screen folds. Apple has reportedly made this a priority, aiming to minimise it to the point of being nearly imperceptible. Weibo leaker Instant Digital claims the iPhone Ultras internal design will make it the most repairable folding phone on the market, with elegant modular and stacked elements that minimize interconnects and ribbons. As a result, the hinge is expected to be a defining feature of the iPhone Ultra, combining advanced materials and engineering to deliver a smoother, more durable folding experience. To maintain both thinness and durability, Apple is reportedly testing high-end materials for the hinge: Titanium alloy (rumored for structural strength) LiquidMetal , according to Ming-Chi Kuo (March 2025), for improved durability, better screen flatness, and reduced creasing. In July 2025, Kuo reported that Apple had developed a method to reduce crease visibility using metal support plates to better distribute and control bending stress. Apple may use this laser-drilling metal plate technology rather than conventional etching to create a more precise microstructure. Apple also holds several patents for foldable mechanisms which, along with several rumored technologies, may be used: Variable Thickness Glass : A key part of Apples approach is said to involve variable thickness display glass, which is thinner at the fold point to reduce stress during repeated use. This is expected to work alongside an optically clear adhesive layer, designed to further minimise strain and help prevent the visible crease that commonly develops in foldable devices over time. Stress-Reducing Adhesive : An optically clear adhesive designed to reduce strain on the display during folding. Ultra-Thin Profile : Expected thickness of around 4.5mm unfolded and 9.5mm folded. Internal Support : Metal plates beneath the display to maintain a completely flat surface when opened. In March 2026, reports suggested that Samsung Display Apples primary screen supplier has developed a near-creaseless OLED panel , showcased at CES 2026 specifically to meet Apples standards. How big will the foldable iPhone Ultra be? Approx. 9.5mm thick when folded Approx. 4.5mm when unfolded According to Jon Prosser in December 2025, Apples foldable iPhone Ultra could measure around 9.5mm when closed and just 4.5mm when open. For context, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is 8.5mm thick, while the iPhone Air measures 5.6mm. If accurate, this would make the iPhone Ultra one of the slimmest foldables, highlighting Apples focus on minimising bulk despite the hinge. However, when asked about the thickness of the iPhone Ultra in April 2026, YouTuber Vadim Yuryev said it would be exactly 11mm, which is larger than Prossers prediction. He also claimed it would be 0.36mm taller and 0.39mm wider than the iPhone 17 Pro. Other design features A leak from Weibo account Instant Digital in February 2026 indicates the volume buttons will be on the top edge, aligned right. How big will the iPhone Ultra screens be? The iPhone Ultra is widely expected to feature: Approx. 7.77.8-inch internal display Approx. 5.35.5-inch external display Ming-Chi Kuo (2025) and TrendForce (July 2025) both pointed to a 7.8-inch inner and 5.5-inch outer display, while The Information later suggested slightly smaller sizes of 7.7 inches and 5.3 inches. This suggests Apple may still be refining final dimensions. However, a December 2025 report from The Information slightly revised these figures to 7.7 inches internally and 5.3 inches externally, indicating that Apple may still be fine-tuning the final dimensions. When unfolded, the device is expected to feature a 4:3 aspect ratio, aligning it more closely with the iPad and reinforcing its positioning as a productivity-focused, hybrid device. This would be a notable departure from the tall, narrow displays seen in earlier foldables like the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold series. This wider layout is said to: Improve multitasking Enhance document reading and web browsing Deliver an experience closer to an iPad mini What specs will iPhone Ultra offer? A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, C2 modem expected The iPhone Ultra is expected to use Apples A20 Pro chip , the same flagship processor tipped for the iPhone 18 Pro models . Supply-chain reports also point to 12GB of RAM and storage options reaching as high as 2TB . Apple is also expected to use more of its own wireless silicon. That could include the C2 cellular modem alongside an Apple-designed Wi-Fi and Bluetooth chip supporting Wi-Fi 7 and Bluetooth. 256GB/512GB/1TB/2TB capacities are to be expected. One notable feature is MagSafe charging . In September 2026, Bloombergs Mark Gurman said the folding iPhone will support MagSafe , contradicting earlier reports that Apple might omit it because of the devices unusual construction. Battery capacity could be another headline feature. Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital has claimed the iPhone Ultra will have a combined capacity of around 5,000 to 5,500mAh , potentially making it the largest battery ever fitted to an iPhone. That capacity may be split between the two halves of the device. References to batteries rather than battery found in the iOS 27 beta have fuelled speculation that Apple is preparing software support for a dual-battery folding iPhone. What cameras will the foldable iPhone have? The foldable iPhone is expected to use a dual-camera system on the rear, with two 48MP sensors arranged on a long, thin plateau similar to the iPhone Air. Reports suggest the camera bar will be black rather than color-matched to the rest of the phone. There is still some uncertainty over the exact lens combination. More recent reports point to a wide and telephoto setup, while earlier rumors suggested Apple could omit the telephoto lens and instead use wide and ultrawide cameras. If the telephoto camera is missing, it would be a significant compromise for such an expensive Ultra model. The foldable is also expected to have two front-facing cameras specified to be the usual 18MP Centre Stage cameras by TrendForce in June allowing one to be used when the phone is closed and another when it is unfolded. Leaks have suggested Apple could combine an under-display camera with a second punch-hole camera. A November 2025 JP Morgan report also claimed Apple could omit LiDAR and optical image stabilization, although those details remain uncertain. Not all the rumors point to cutbacks. Tech YouTuber Vadim Yuryev claimed in April 2026 that the camera sensors could actually be physically larger than those used in the iPhone 17 Pro. How much will the folding iPhone Ultra cost? Premium price expected: $2,000 or more Apples first folding iPhone is expected to sit at the very top of the iPhone lineup, with most reports pointing to a starting price of around $2,000 . Analyst Arthur Liao has predicted a price of up to $2,399 , based on the high cost of components such as the folding display and hinge, as well as Apples usual premium margins. A September 2026 TrendForce report puts the likely starting price at $2,099 to $2,299 , with higher-capacity configurations potentially exceeding $3,000 . Reports from Weibo leakers have suggested a starting price of RMB 15,999 in China for the 256GB model, rising to RMB 19,999 for 1TB. Using the pricing relationship of comparable Apple products, that would broadly translate to around $1,999 to $2,399 in the U.S. Taken together, the rumors suggest the iPhone Ultra will start at roughly $2,000 , with higher-storage models costing considerably more. FAQ Why is Apple making a folding iPhone now? If youre wondering why Apple is only launching a folding iPhone now years after Samsung introduced the Galaxy Fold in 2019 the answer may lie in Apples long-standing approach to new product categories. Rather than being first to market, Apple often waits for a technology to mature before entering the space. When Steve Jobs unveiled the original iPhone in 2007, he talked about how the rest of the market was constrained by physical keyboards and styluses, but the iPhone would instead have a multi-touch display that could change depending on the task. Apple may be taking a similar approach with foldables. The company appears to believe that display technology, durability, and consumer interest have finally reached a point where a folding iPhone could appeal to mainstream buyers rather than just early adopters. In other words, Apples goal may not be to invent the foldable phone, but to make it a product that millions of people actually want to use every day. Will the iPhone Ultra replace the iPhone Pro Max? It is thought that rather than replace the Pro Max handsets, Apple will position the foldable as a new tier above it similar to how the Apple Watch Ultra sits above the standard Watch lineup. That would allow Apple to maintain premium pricing without disrupting existing flagship models. When will the foldable iPhone Ultra actually go on sale? The folding iPhone is expected to be announced at Apples September event on Wednesday, 9 September 2026, but the phone may not go on sale for some time after that date. Reports suggest the device could go on sale sometime between October and December 2026.
Five iPhone 18 Pro Camera Features Seemingly Leak in Code
Apple is working on a broader set of Camera app improvements in iOS 27 it has announced, according to a new deep dive from MacRumors forum member pdfu . iOS 27 beta code apparently points to five features that could arrive alongside new iPhone models this week or in a future software update: Exposure scopes : The Camera app can display a waveform or histogram to help judge exposure while shooting. A histogram shows how much of the image is too dark, too bright, or in between, while a waveform shows similar information but keeps it lined up with where those areas are in the frame. Focus peaking and highlight warnings : New code overlays helpful information right on top of the camera preview. Focus peaking highlights the edges of whatever's in sharp focus using a colored outline, while a separate overlay warns when part of the image is getting overexposed, using a solid color, a pulsing color, diagonal stripes, or a checkerboard pattern. Repeated self-timer shots : Apple is adding the ability to take several timed photos in a row rather than just one. After each shot, the countdown starts again right away instead of waiting for the photo to finish saving, so the shots can be taken back to back. Manual focus : A control for manually setting and locking focus, rather than relying on autofocus, has also turned up in testing, similar to what's already available in Apple's Final Cut Camera app. A version of this existed in iOS 26 with a focus slider, but that slider was removed in iOS 27 beta 1. The underlying focus-locking code is still there, but Apple has restricted it to devices that ship with iOS 27 or later, so it won't work on any current iPhone. Aperture-based image correction : A change to how photos are processed could be tied to a future iPhone with a variable aperture, a lens opening that can widen or narrow rather than staying fixed. iOS 27 can adjust lens corrections depending on the aperture setting, blending between up to four reference points to smooth out the results. Although the hidden features could be made available to other iPhone models, the presence of aperture-based image correction when the iPhone 18 Pro is widely expected to offer a variable aperture main camera suggests that at least some of the capabilities could arrive with the new models. None of the five features are accessible to users in the current betas, and Apple could still hold some or all of them back from the September release. The findings follow pdfu's recent code discoveries covering unreleased game controllers , a four-speaker HomePod surround system , and new Apple Watch details .

Leak Hints at Four New Features for Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4
Ahead of the announcement of the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 later this week, code in the watchOS 27 and iOS 27 betas points to a series of new features for the product line. The information comes from a new post from MacRumors forums member pdfu. The findings include: New Readiness app : An all-new separate Watch app referred to in code as Readiness, distinct from the existing Vitals app. The watchOS 27 launcher apparently includes it in the default Home Screen layout immediately after the Workout app, and the Watch companion app on iOS 27 references the same app in its logic for arranging apps on the Home Screen. Its name and placement next to the Workout app suggest Apple is preparing a more substantial readiness or recovery experience for the Apple Watch. Richer strength workouts : Expanded health infrastructure to store individual sets, repetition counts, weight, equipment, body side, and duration. New optical-sensing system : A new sensor family called Sunstone4p0 with lower noise coefficients, and wrist- and orientation-based channel selection. This could point to revised heart-sensing hardware on an upcoming Apple Watch, featuring improved readings when the reflected pulse signal is weak and specialized sensing according to the watch's placement. 128GB storage : A NAND storage profile tied to the T8320 chip for the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 suggesting that they could offer 128GB of storage, up from 64GB on previous models. Bloomberg 's Mark Gurman previously reported that the Apple Watch Series 12 and Ultra 4 will tout new health and fitness features. pdfu has emerged as an intriguing source of code discoveries in recent weeks. The forum member previously spotted references to two unreleased game controllers in the first macOS 26.7 release candidate, identified by the internal names T6502 and T1057, and separately found evidence in audioOS 27 beta 8 pointing to a four-speaker HomePod surround sound system and a new Party Mode feature.

AES Tech Wants Data Centers to Lean Less on Your Power Grid
Datacenters construction have become one of the most controversial topics in the United States (and elsewhere). People are asking whether the ones already arriving will raise electricity costs, overload the local grid, and bring more polluting generators into their neighborhoods. AES Tech, a South Korean startup, is pitching a technical answer to part of that problem: make hydrogen on site from liquid ammonia, then use it to replace some of the natural gas burned in a data centers power turbines. That does not magically make the problem completely go away, but it points to a standard worth demanding from the industry. If a facility needs large amounts of new power, it should bring more of that power infrastructure with it and make that infrastructure cleaner and safer than the current backup and supplemental systems many people associate with these activities. AES Techs system, called ammoNOVA, is designed to extract hydrogen from anhydrous liquid ammonia where it will be used. Instead of trucking in compressed hydrogen and keeping it in high-pressure storage, a customer would store ammonia and convert it into hydrogen on demand. The hydrogen would then be mixed with natural gas and burned in a turbine to make electricity. This is called co-firing. While there are still emissions, this system can reduce them, depending on the blend ratio and the Hydrogen source. The most important part: the goal is not to power AI at any cost. It is to give a large, power-hungry facility another option when the grid is constrained, one that could reduce its use of diesel and gradually displace some fossil gas. The International Energy Agency expects global data-center electricity consumption to more than double to roughly 945 terawatt-hours by 2030. In many U.S. communities, the practical consequence is already familiar new data-center proposals collide with questions about transmission lines, water, local generation and whether residents will end up paying for grid upgrades. A facility that can produce at least some of its own cleaner fuel during periods of high demand could reduce its dependence on the grid. In theory, that could help keep a local grid from being asked to carry every surge created by an AI campus. It could also be preferable to relying solely on diesel generators during outages or peak events. In Seoul, I met CEO Jaehong Jeffrey Chun, and one operational detail made the concept more interesting to me: AES Tech can control the electrochemical systems output in real time, so the hydrogen supply can follow a turbines changing fuel demand. AES Tech CEO Jaehong Jeffrey Chun (left) during an interview with Ubergizmo Editor-in-Chief Hubert Nguyen | Photo by AVING News Electricity demand fluctuates. When a data center needs more power, a useful on-site system has to respond quickly. AES Tech argues that its electrochemical approach can do that without the high-temperature process normally associated with cracking ammonia. Ammonia contains nitrogen and hydrogen. ammoNOVA uses electrolysis to separate them, producing hydrogen for the turbine and nitrogen as a byproduct. The company also says its system recovers unused ammonia and purifies the hydrogen. Hydrogen co-firing itself is technically feasible. Companies like Mitsubishi Heavy Industries reported a test using a 20% hydrogen-by-volume blend in a large gas turbine at a Georgia power plant; it said the blend cut CO emissions by about 7% (PDF link) compared with natural gas alone. That said, Ammonia is not automatically green and people may ask more questions. The environmental argument becomes compelling only when the ammonia itself has a verifiably low-carbon supply chain and when the hydrogen meaningfully replaces fossil gas. AES Tech was founded in 2022 and is still early. The company says it is targeting AI-data-center power applications and has submitted ammoNOVA Ultra for CES 2027 Innovation Awards consideration.

Xiaomi Announces Foldable iPhone Rival
Xiaomi today officially announced the 18 Fold, its first wide-format foldable, at a product event in China, two days before Apple is expected to unveil its own first foldable iPhone. The Xiaomi 18 Fold uses a similar wide-folding design to the Samsung Z Fold8 and Apple's upcoming foldable iPhone. It features a 5.38-inch outer display and a 7.58-inch inner display, both with 120Hz LTPO technology and 4000 nits of peak brightness. The display is protected by a new double-layer ultra-thin glass structure. The phone folds around a redesigned hinge Xiaomi calls the Dragon Bone hinge, which the company says underwent 492 structural optimizations, facilitating a noticeably more rounded design than Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold8. It launches in four finishes, including a Nishino Red colorway and a limited Ceramic Special Edition capped at 1,500 units. The 18 Fold is the first flagship to contain Xiaomi's in-house Xring O3 chip, built using a 3nm process with a 10-core CPU clocked to 4.35GHz and a 16-core GPU. Xiaomi says the chip delivers a 60% multi-core CPU gain and an 85% GPU performance gain over its predecessor, with power draw down 25% and 64% respectively, alongside a dedicated NPU rated at 200 TOPS. The rear camera system was developed with Leica and is led by a 200-megapixel main sensor, alongside a 50-megapixel ultrawide and a 50-megapixel periscope telephoto lens with 3.5x optical zoom. Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected to feature two rear cameras only, with no dedicated telephoto camera. The device ships with Xiaomi's HyperOS 4 software and a 6,000mAh battery supporting 67W wired and 50W wireless charging. Pricing starts at 10,999 yuan (approximately $1,638), for the base 12GB RAM and 256GB storage configuration, rising to 14,999 yuan (approximately $2,235) for the top 16GB/1TB model, with a limited Ceramic Special Edition at 15,999 yuan (approximately $2,384). Apple's foldable is widely expected to be priced above $2,000. Xiaomi also introduced the Xiaomi Pad 9 Pro Max tablet at the event, which shares the Xring O3 chip, along with three electric vehicles under its Pengcheng brand. The company has not announced global availability for the 18 Fold; its earlier Mix Fold foldables have stayed exclusive to China. Apple is set to hold its own event on September 9 at Apple Park , where the company is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max.

Carimatec Uses 3D Printing to Speed Dental Aligners
Getting clear dental aligners means building a sequence of slightly different aligners, each based on how a specific patients teeth are expected to move. Before the clear plastic trays can be formed, a lab needs the corresponding dental models. Carimatec, a Seoul-based 3D-printing company, thinks that repetitive but highly individualized workflow is exactly where industrial 3D printing starts to make economic sense. The company says its printers have produced more than 500,000 clear-aligner setup molds. The underlying use case is easy to understand: dental labs need lots of geometrically different models, often in short runs. Thats the opposite of traditional manufacturing which is very good at making thousands of identical objects. During an in-person briefing in Seoul, a Carimatec representative described the process in practical terms. A dental scan becomes a digital model, and the printer can produce a set of molds representing successive stages of treatment. Sanghoon Rhee, Senior Manager at CARIMATEC, presents at the Global Media Meetup. | Photo by AVING News The clear trays are then vacuum-formed over those molds. The representative said a single print run can produce roughly 50 to 60 molds in about 60 to 90 minutes. Carimatecs core pitch is not simply that it makes 3D printers. Many companies do. It sells the printer, resin materials, and slicing software as one system, arguing that the whole platform is more useful for production. Its machines use DLP, or digital light processing, a technology our readers typically associate with televisions from the 2000s. Its nice to see that this technology is still around and used in manufacturing. Instead of steering a laser point by point, DLP projects an image that cures an entire layer of liquid resin at once. That creates a natural speed advantage, but the process still has a bottleneck: after a layer is made, conventional resin printers often have to separate the fresh part from the film at the bottom of the resin vat before continuing. Carimatec calls its answer C-CAT , short for Carima Continuous Additive Technology. The company says it lowers the separation force enough for the printing process to proceed more continuously, rather than repeating a lift, peel, refill, and reset cycle. Its current Carimatecs X1 page claims speeds of more than 40 centimeters per hour, while other company material describes C-CAT at up to 60 centimeters per hour under certain conditions. The difference matters: high-speed printing claims are meaningful only when the material, layer thickness, and finished-part requirements are specified. The second technology, S-BAT , solves a different problem. Large resin printers may use multiple optical engines to cover a wider area, but the boundaries between those projections can create visible seams or inconsistent curing. Carimatec says S-BAT calibrates those overlaps to produce a more uniform surface. Basically, C-CAT is about keeping production moving; S-BAT is about making a bigger printed object look like it was made under one continuous light source. The materials side may be the more defensible part of the pitch in my opinion. In the briefing, the representative explained that each resin needs its own exposure settings, such as UV intensity and curing time. A printer can accept a third-party material, but a vendor that develops both hardware and resin has more control over those parameters. That does not automatically make its materials better than competitors materials. It does create a potential operational advantage when customers care about repeatability more than experimentation. Carimatec says its material lineup includes elastomeric, high-temperature, ceramic, and flame-retardant options. Its DM400 is positioned as an automated industrial system that can print, remove, clean, cure, dry, and collect parts with limited operator intervention. The company says the machine can produce more than 800 units daily in one configured workflow. Japanese dental company Shofu lists the S-WAVE IMD-S as a DLP dental printer and provides Carima Slicer software and firmware resources for it. Carimatec also says it has relationships with U.S. ceramic-materials supplier Tethon 3D and mining supplier CR Mining Solutions, but Im not sure to what extent. Sanghoon Rhee, Senior Manager at CARIMA (right), gives an interview at the Global Media Meetup on the 27th. | Photo by AVING News The companys history also makes it less of a brand-new startup than the presentations tone suggests. CARIMA says it was founded in 2000, introduced its first DLP printer in 2009, and unveiled C-CAT in 2016. The current opportunity is not inventing 3D printing from scratch. It is proving that resin printing can meet production expectations for speed, reliability, finishing, material qualification, and cost. The potential is there: custom footwear, automotive interior components, and dental models sound like a broad addressable market, but each has different durability, certification, and economics requirements. Well see if the speed gains match real-world materials and quality-control demands. Carimatec Uses 3D Printing to Speed Dental Aligners , original content from Ubergizmo .

iPhone 18 Pro Event Could Hit Apple Shares, KeyBanc Warns
Apple's September 9 iPhone announcement event could become a negative catalyst for the stock, KeyBanc Capital Markets warns. In a research note seen by Investing.com , KeyBanc said the event could motivate investors to weigh pricing decisions against the impact of higher costs on demand and margins. KeyBanc added that Apple faces a choice to either raise prices broadly to offset gross margin pressure, which could hurt unit volumes and trigger sticker shock, or raise prices more selectively. This could invite greater scrutiny of margins and raise the prospect of further price increases later down the line. The firm maintained an Underweight rating on Apple and a $250 price target, against a share price of $324.96 at the time of publication. KeyBanc models total iPhone 18 lineup builds at around 80 million units across the fourth quarter of fiscal 2026 and first quarter of fiscal 2027, down from roughly 91 million units a year earlier. The firm attributed most of the decline to the absence of a base iPhone 18 model in this part of the product cycle, with higher pricing and a richer product mix expected to partially offset the lower volumes. KeyBanc is also expecting a $150 price increase for the iPhone 18 Pro , raising it to $1,249, and a $200 increase for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, raising it to $1,399. The firm expects the foldable iPhone Ultra to start at $2,199. KeyBanc also pointed to a historical pattern of Apple shares weakening around iPhone announcements, with the stock averaging a 0.72% decline on announcement day over the past five years and a 1.22% decline five trading days later.

The black version highlighted here is particularly rare to see discounted, and todays offer marks the lowest price weve tracked for this bundle since the price hikes. For comparison, the same setup in silver is still sitting at full price over at Amazon right now. Head below for more details. more
iRobot Unveils Roomba Duo Nested Robot Concept At IFA 2026
Smart home robotics specialist iRobot showcased its latest design concept, the Roomba Duo , at IFA 2026 . The prototype tests consumer appetite for heavy-duty household automation by introducing a nested robotic system , where a compact auxiliary unit is housed directly inside a significantly larger cleaning machine. The core apparatus serves as a heavy-duty floor maintenance platform intended to replace upright vacuum cleaners and traditional mopping rigs. Measuring approximately 60 centimeters in height and weighing 30 kilograms , this substantial base system accommodates high-capacity water reservoirs and delivers high-performance suction power . In addition to regular dry debris extraction, the primary device integrates an active steam sanitation system designed to deep-clean hard floors. To overcome the inherent physical limitations of its bulky exterior, the Roomba Duo relies on an internal secondary unit. When the primary machine encounters narrow pathways, tight corners, or clearance beneath low-profile furniture , the main chassis reclines to deploy the smaller robotic cleaner . This secondary unit navigates restricted spaces to execute sweeping and damp mopping tasks before docking back inside the main carrier. Presented at the Berlin trade expo as a development concept, the Roomba Duo functions primarily as an exploratory platform for evaluating consumer demand for multi-tier home cleaning appliances. Consequently, the company has not confirmed whether the system will transition into commercial production or reach store shelves in this specific configuration. Because the project remains in an exploratory design phase, iRobot has refrained from announcing retail availability or official pricing details. Nevertheless, industry estimates suggest that if the dual-robot hardware enters mass production, its final retail price could easily exceed the $1,700 benchmark typical of existing flagship floor-care solutions. The prototype underscores a broader industry push toward modular, multi-tier autonomy capable of handling both heavy-duty scrubbing and detailed perimeter maintenance within a single integrated solution. iRobot Unveils Roomba Duo Nested Robot Concept At IFA 2026 , original content from Ubergizmo .

iPhone 18 Pro video leak appears to confirm blue and Dark Cherry color options
Macworld On Wednesday, Apple will hold a press event with the tagline Surprise and Shine. Officially we dont know what products will be announced, but in reality were 95% sure the days reveals will include iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max handsets. And that number might have just gone up even further with the leak of a video showing demo models of the new phones. A very brief video clip posted this weekend to the Naver platform appears to show two devices: an iPhone 18 Pro Max, and an iPhone 18 Pro. We can tell this partly because theres a retail-style label in front of them, but also because theyre finished in colors that arent available as part of the current or recent iPhone range. In the video, one iPhone is a dark red/burgundy, the other a light blue, appearing to provide the strongest visual evidence yet for the iPhone 18 Pro colors exclusively revealed by Macworld. The only other phone we see is a dark-blue iPhone 17 Pro Max, which the poster holds against the Dark Cherry 18 Pro Max for comparison. The poster doesnt offer much context for the video; the headline (via Google Translate) reads simply iPhone 18 Pro Max Dark Cherry & 18 Pro Blue demo devices exposed and the body text adds nothing further. But from the items in the background, including the aforementioned label, clear plastic stands, and security cables, it appears that were looking at a retail display for the new phones. Given how soon they will need to appear in stores, its plausible that outlets will have already received demo units, although its obviously risky for one to allow footage to leak online before the announcements. We cant guarantee that the video is genuine, and it wouldnt be hugely difficult to fake footage of this sort. But there isnt a strong reason to doubt it, and the evidence for these two colors is growing stronger with each passing day. The iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max, unless something very unexpected happens, will be announced at the event on Wednesday, starting at 10 a.m. E.T. Our iPhone event live blog is already up and running and will report all the breaking news and rumors as we find them. And if youd like to read the announcements before they happen our crack reporters managed to get their hands on the script . Just dont tell anyone, or well get in trouble.

Neha Dhupia reveals what keeps her relevant on Roadies after 21 years: I have an authentic voice
Actress, entrepreneur and influencer Neha Dhupia recently spoke about staying relevant in a rapidly changing entertainment landscape and adapting to evolving audience preferences. She was joined by Alok Jain, Head of Hindi & English Entertainment at JioStar, at an event focused on how Gen-Z is influencing brands, culture and consumer behaviour. During the conversation, Neha discussed the importance of evolving professionally while retaining an authentic identity. Reflecting on her career and her association with Roadies, she said, People want to hear your stories; you want to sell the same narrative that you believe in. You have to keep evolving all the time but never forget where you actually come from. I know I have an authentic voice and I dont want to pretend to be this other person. Even if Roadies is in its twenty-first year, I am a mother of two, and I take immense pride in saying I didnt think, as a woman in my 40s, I would be on a youth-based show that is loved, that is cult, that will be in its twenty-first year, and I was not married and none of that when I got on the show. But at the same time, I knew the one thing that kept me from getting from that point to here. That I have a voice, that I wanna put it across; I dont wanna offend people. But having said that, I dont think because things are trending I will say something thats not me. I think you can be under different umbrellas, keeping the authenticity intact. Neha also reflected on how her multiple professional roles and motherhood have influenced her perspective. Her comments centred on finding a balance between adapting to changing expectations and remaining consistent with her own voice. The discussion also touched upon the role of entertainment in responding to changing cultural trends and consumer behaviour. Alok Jain highlighted the need for the industry to understand and adapt to generational shifts, sharing, One need not resist change; one needs to accept, understand and adapt to the changing requirements in consumer behaviour. Every new generation is very different than the previous one and for us and the entertainment industry in many product categories, the competition is the next company; in our case, the competition is time because, as people age, consumer behaviour changes. The problem here is how to build fandom and fandom builds when you create opportunities for people to converse and have multiple touchpoints. So what we are doing is we are increasing that surface area of our products, making content available everywhere. When we launched our recent show Hustle, we wanted to be on Spotify; we want to look at live experiences, social media, television, digital, mobile phones, thereby reaching every surface possible! Nehas association with Roadies continues in its twenty-first year, with the actress remaining part of the franchise despite its long-standing evolution as a youth-focused property. The conversation also underlined how changing platforms and audience habits are influencing the way entertainment properties build engagement. Roadies - REBIRTH and Hustle 5 - Apna Homeground are currently available through JioStar and MTV India.

iPhone 18 Pro: Nine Reasons Not to Upgrade This Year
Apple is set to unveil new iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max models on Wednesday, September 9 , and the devices are expected to feature a design that's largely similar to the iPhone 17 Pro models, with a peppering of enhancements inside. Major changes are not expected until next year, when Apple is expected to introduce a radically redesigned 20th-anniversary iPhone. If you're thinking of trading in your current iPhone for this year's latest, consider the following features rumored to be coming to next September's iPhone 20 models (Apple is expected to skip the iPhone 19 for its commemorative edition). Taken together, they may just give you pause for thought. A quad-curved, all-glass design: The display glass reportedly curves away on all four sides of the iPhone 20, concealing the metal frame during normal use for a borderless effect . Apple is said to be working with Samsung on an equal-depth quad-curved display to achieve the feat. Advanced OLED technology: Apple is planning to use a brighter, thinner OLED panel for the 20th anniversary iPhone. Rumors suggest that Apple will adopt Samsung OLED displays with Color Filter on Encapsulation (COE) technology, which reduces the thickness of the overall display stack, and lets more light through to improve brightness while reducing power draw. Under-display Face ID and camera: Apple is reportedly continuing to test hardware that would eliminate the Dynamic Island the visible cutout from the front of the device, with Face ID components moving under the screen and an under-camera display said to be in development. Whether the technology will be ready in time for a fall 2027 launch remains uncertain . Custom Apple image sensor: Apple is said to be developing its own stacked image sensor to replace the Sony sensors it has traditionally used for the iPhone. Apple has reportedly already developed a working prototype . The sensor is said to use LOFIC technology, which would let each pixel store varying amounts of light and potentially reach up to 20 stops of dynamic range. Solid-state buttons: Apple is said to be testing haptic replacements for the Side, Volume, Action, and Camera Control buttons. The buttons could be integrated directly into the device's frame, with no actual physical movement when pressed, yet retaining a tactile responsiveness. A 2-nanometer A21 chip: The 20th anniversary models are expected to feature a second-generation 2-nanometer chip. With the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models widely expected to debut the A20 Pro chip , the anniversary models would likely be powered by the A21 Pro. Silicon anode battery: Apple is reportedly exploring a new battery technology that uses a silicon anode capable of storing more lithium ions per gram, potentially delivering longer battery life without increasing the physical size of the battery. Mobile high bandwidth memory: Apple is rumored to be evaluating vertically stacked DRAM technology to improve memory bandwidth and boost on-device AI performance. Two sizes: The two anniversary models could have a larger display size compared to this September's iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, which are expected to use 6.3-inch and 6.9-inch displays similar to iPhone 17 Pro models. In contrast, Apple is rumored to be prototyping a 6.4-inch display for the iPhone 20 Pro, and a 7-inch display for the larger 20 Pro Max. With all that said, we're still 12 months out, and Apple's plans shift constantly behind closed doors, plus features this ambitious have a habit of slipping a year or two. Under-display Face ID in particular has been wo years away for about five years now. Still, the combined leaks describe the most dramatic iPhone rethink since 2017 when the 10th-anniversary iPhone X debuted. If even half of the features make it to the shipped device, the iPhone 20 should be worth holding out for. For everything we know so far, check out our dedicated guide .
