Deep biosphere has endured mountain-building and erosion over hundreds of millions of years
A new study reveals that microbial life deep within Earth has persisted and repeatedly flourished through hundreds of millions of years of mountain-building and erosion. By analyzing minerals, fluids and gases from a 2.3-kilometer-deep (1.4-mile-deep) borehole in central Sweden, researchers have uncovered episodic bursts of methane-producing life linked to major geological events that shaped Scandinavia. The paper is published in the journal Communications Earth
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.

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 .

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.

'No dal, only water': What Delhi students put up with

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 .

Intego ONE now protects your iPhone too
Macworld BACK TO SCHOOL DEAL Take 50% off Intego One Grab this rare discount on Macworld's favorite Mac antivirus GET DEAL (function () { document.querySelector(#sticky-promo-block a).addEventListener(click, function(e) { const debug = document.location.host.search(/lndo.site|go-vip.net/) !== -1; const text = this.closest(#sticky-promo-block).querySelector(p.promo-title).textContent; const data = { event: stickyConversionUnitClick, eventCategory: Sticky Conversion, eventAction: Click, eventLabel: text }; if(debug)console.log(Sticky Conversion CLick - pushing to dataLayer: , data); dataLayer.push(data); return true; }); })(); Intego ONE Complete , the Mac security suite we reviewed earlier this year, has expanded to the iPhone with the new Intego ONE: VPN & Wi-Fi Security app . It gives Complete subscribers VPN protection, Wi-Fi security checks and an assessment of their iPhones built-in security settings at no additional cost. This is not antivirus software for the iPhone. Instead, the app complements Apples existing iPhone security by concentrating on areas where users can still expose themselves to risk: insecure Wi-Fi, unprotected internet connections and important iOS security settings that havent been enabled. That distinction matters. iPhones are resistant to traditional malware because of Apples tightly controlled security architecture, but they arent immune from spyware, exploits, malicious websites, compromised accounts and other privacy and security threats. The new iPhone app is available to new and existing Intego ONE Complete subscribers. Intego is also currently a Back to School promotion that cuts the price by 50% until September 30. Intego confirmed that you dont need to prove you are a student to take advantage of the offer. Get Intego ONE Complete Plan for Mac & iPhone Back To School 50% off (expires Sept 30th) What is Intego ONE? Intego ONE is the successor to Intego Internet Security X9, combining Mac antivirus protection with additional security and maintenance tools. Its currently our top recommendation in our Best Antivirus for Mac guide . It comes in three tiers: Essential: Antivirus and firewall. Advanced: Adds SmartClean. Complete: Adds Intego VPN and now includes the iPhone app. Essential and Advanced remain Mac-only packages. Weve already reviewed Intego ONE Complete on the Mac, where its malware detection, scanning performance and firewall controls particularly impressed us. In our testing, it handled more than 130 malware samples extremely well and scanned more than two million files in around eight minutes. Those Mac security features remain the main reason to consider Intego ONE. The new iPhone app broadens the Complete package. We recommend: Intego ONE Price When Reviewed: Intego ONE Essential from $2.50 a month/one device/first year, then $3.33 a month or $29.99 for the first year and then $39.99 a year. Best Prices Today: $29.99 at Intego (annual) What does Intego ONE do on an iPhone? Integos iPhone app adds a VPN, Wi-Fi security checks and iPhone security monitoring, but not antivirus scanning. The iPhone version of Intego ONE is essentially a combination of privacy protection, network security and security configuration checking. There are three main elements. Intego VPN When youre using hotel, caf, airport or other Wi-Fi that you dont control, Integos VPN can encrypt your internet connection. The VPN was already included with Intego ONE Complete on the Mac, where it encrypts internet traffic, masks the users IP address and can help protect data when using public or unsecured Wi-Fi. When we tested it as part of our Mac review we found it simple to use, with 51 server locations and good bandwidth and streaming performance, although it isnt as fully featured as some dedicated VPN services. Adding the VPN to the iPhone arguably makes the feature more useful, because your phone is much more likely to connect to unfamiliar Wi-Fi while youre travelling or away from home. Wi-Fi security checks Intego can also check the security of the Wi-Fi network your iPhone is currently using. The test takes around 10 seconds and reports on connection speed as well as any potential security issues it identifies. Intego told us that one of the main things it checks is whether the network is using strong encryption. iPhone security check-up The app can also inspect some of the protections already built into your iPhone and tell you whether they are enabled or being used. Intego says its Device Check-Up can check whether: A passcode is enabled. Face ID or Touch ID is enabled. Apps are permitted to track you. The iPhone is running the newest version of iOS it supports. Something has been changed that removes Apples security protections. Screen recording is active. The key benefit is not that Intego provides these protections itself. Apple already does that. Instead, Intego checks whether important security features are enabled and flags potential weaknesses. Intego confirmed that its warning about changes that remove Apples built-in protections refers primarily to jailbreak detection. It does not generally treat MDM profiles as suspicious, since these are commonly used by businesses to manage and secure devices. Intego also told us that it plans to add Developer Mode detection in a future update, subject to the access Apples APIs allow. But can an iPhone actually get a virus? If Intego ONE is an antivirus suite, you might reasonably assume that its new iPhone app scans the iPhone for viruses. It doesnt. Traditional iPhone viruses are extremely uncommon because iOS apps are sandboxed, Apple tightly controls software distribution and the operating system incorporates substantial security protections. That doesnt make an iPhone invulnerable. Spyware, security exploits, malicious websites, compromised accounts and other threats can still put personal information at risk. Intego isnt claiming to replace Apples malware protection. Its proposition is effectively this: Apple protects the operating system, while Intego helps with some of the connections and security decisions that remain under the users control. Read: Can iPhones get viruses? for more information. Intego ONE on Mac vs iPhone Feature Mac iPhone Malware scanning Yes No Real-time antivirus Yes No Firewall Yes No SmartClean Advanced/Complete No VPN Complete Complete Wi-Fi security check No Yes iPhone security check-up No Yes Passcode/Face ID checks No Yes iOS update check No Yes Screen-recording warning No Yes On the Mac, antivirus remains at the heart of the product. On the iPhone, the focus is privacy, network security and checking the security configuration of the device. Who should consider Intego ONE Complete? Foundry Mac and iPhone owners This is the group that benefits most from the change. On the Mac you get the antivirus and firewall protection that impressed us in testing, alongside SmartClean and a VPN. On the iPhone you get the same VPN plus Wi-Fi security and device-security checks. People already considering Complete for the VPN Being able to use the subscription on your phone makes the VPN component more useful, particularly if you frequently travel or use public Wi-Fi. People only looking for iPhone protection Intego ONE is harder to justify purely for its iPhone features because most of the suites value still resides on the Mac. If you dont own a Mac or dont need Mac antivirus protection, a standalone VPN or other dedicated iPhone security service may make more sense. See our recommendations of the best VPN for iPhone . Does the iPhone app make Intego ONE Complete better value? The Intego ONE iPhone app can be downloaded from the iOS App Store. Our Intego ONE review already recommended the suite for its strong malware detection, firewall, performance and ease of use, although we noted omissions including phishing protection and parental controls. The new iPhone app doesnt address those weaknesses, but it does make the Complete tier more useful for people who own both a Mac and an iPhone. On the Mac, Intego ONE Complete includes antivirus, firewall protection, SmartClean and a VPN. On the iPhone, you get the VPN plus Wi-Fi security checks and tools that flag potentially important security settings. It isnt antivirus for the iPhone and shouldnt be confused with one. For existing Complete subscribers, the iPhone app is a worthwhile addition at no extra cost. For prospective customers with several Apple devices, it also makes Intego ONE Complete more compelling than when we originally reviewed it, particularly if you want several security tools covered by a single subscription.

Surprise and Shine iPhone event: What we expect Apple might have dubbed this the Surprise event, but we have a pretty good idea what Apple is going to announce Wednesday morning. Heres what we expect to see: iPhone Ultra : Apple is almost certain to launch its first folding phone this week. Were expecting a passport-style design with a 5.5-inch cover display and a near-8-inch inner display when opened. iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max : We expect a similar design with a faster chip and a better camera system, possibly including a variable-aperture lens for the first time. Apple Watch Series 12 : The latest Apple Watch update will reportedly be a minor refresh with a new chip, all-day heart-rate tracking, and maybe the return of a ceramic finish. Apple Watch Ultra 4: Like the Series 12, the Ultra 4 is expected to be a minor refresh largely focused on a new chip tuned for Siri AI. AirPods 5: Apple is rumored to be launching a new pair of low-end AirPods, but we dont know much about them. Smart home : Its less likely that Apples rumored smart-home hub arrives at this event, but we could see an updated Apple TV 4K and HomePod mini.
