October 18, 2025, 9:46 AM EDT. Apple's iPhone 17 brings Pro-like camera performance, longer battery life, and a smoother 120Hz display at a solid price, making it the most compelling standard iPhone in years. Yet its allure is tempered by the new iPhone Air, which is thinner, cooler, and more stylish, even if it sacrifices battery life and lacks an ultra-wide camera. The iPhone 17 shares a near-identical design with the iPhone 16, but adds the 6.3-inch OLED, a 48-MP dual camera, the A19 chip, and USB-C, while reserving Pro perks like telephoto, vapor chamber cooling, and RAW video for the Pro line. For most buyers, the iPhone 17 is the sensible choice, but the Air creates a tough, visually appealing middle ground.

October 18, 2025, 9:38 AM EDT. Apple has instructed suppliers to slow production of the iPhone Air due to weaker demand, per The Elec via Mizuho Securities. Consumers are gravitating toward the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which are outperforming the prior-year models, while the standard iPhone 17 is also a standout. By contrast, the iPhone Air is lagging, prompting Apple to cut production by about one million units this year and boost output of the other iPhone 17 models by about two million units. Overall, Apple has raised its total iPhone 17 series production forecast from 88 million to 94 million units heading into early 2026.

October 18, 2025, 9:32 AM EDT. TAG Heuer shifts the Connected line by dropping the 42mm option in favor of a 40mm Calibre E5, signaling a move toward a size that blends smartwatch practicality with the feel of traditional watches. The change mirrors a trend toward more legible interfaces while appealing to a broader audience, including those who prefer smaller wrists or a more unisex silhouette. TAG Heuer argues the 40mm hits a modern sweet spot that aligns with mechanical-watch aesthetics, not chasing ever-larger displays. The switch could widen the brand's appeal-especially among women and collectors who valued the previous 42mm as the smallest option. For enthusiasts, the new size promises familiar Carrera cues with updated smartwatch tech.

October 18, 2025, 9:30 AM EDT. Religious chatbots trained on scripture promise accessible guidance, yet they inherit the same AI quirks as other systems. In Hindu practice, where sacred forms like murtis anchor worship, technology can become another vessel for the divine during puja and darshan. Since the ChatGPT boom, entrepreneurs and devotees launched bots to relay the teachings of Hindu scriptures, including multiple GitaGPT variants. One student from Rajasthan reported rapid growth to 100,000 users, while others extend to other gods such as Krishna. Proponents say AI offers non-judgmental, constant companionship amid a fast-changing world, though critics warn about overreliance and the risk of misinterpreting sacred texts.
