October 20, 2025, 9:30 AM EDT. Apple's iPhone 17 Pro introduces Cosmic Orange, making orange one of the standout smartphone colors. The move could push orange Android phones toward mainstream adoption as other brands follow suit. Orange devices offer a bold look and pop with cases, but questions remain about whether the trend will age. Apple's vibrant color choice signals a potential color trend for 2026. An orange phone is attention-grabbing in photos and conversations and could become a fashion-forward option for buyers seeking something different. If you buy, the orange option adds personality and visibility, even with a case.

October 20, 2025, 9:28 AM EDT. Rumors suggest Samsung will equip the entire Galaxy S26 lineup with the Exynos 2600, including the Galaxy S26 Ultra, moving away from the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5. If true, this would mark the first top-tier Galaxy flagship to skip Snapdragon in four years. Samsung reportedly touts the Exynos 2600 with dramatic gains: up to 6x AI processing power of Apple's latest, around 15% CPU and up to 75% GPU improvements, and even 30% AI processing and up to 29% higher GPU vs Snapdragon. The manufacturer's strategy allegedly includes a standalone modem chip to free CPU/GPU space. As with all leaks, verifications are pending, but Samsung appears intent on showcasing the Exynos 2600 next year.

October 20, 2025, 9:26 AM EDT. Researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine have secured a five-year grant from the NIDDK to support TRACE, a Tool for Reproducible, Accurate Contour Estimation, powered by artificial intelligence to measure organ volumes in autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (PKD). The project will build a standardized, de-identified database of MRI and CT images and the PKD Image Phenotyping Repository Core to accelerate discoveries from basic science to clinical trials. By reducing variability in imaging data, TRACE provides precise imaging biomarkers to guide treatment decisions, such as disease-modifying medications or dialysis. The resource will include measurements of kidneys and related organs-liver, pancreas, spleen, heart-and the skeletal muscle index, helping researchers track progression and response while protecting privacy.

October 20, 2025, 9:22 AM EDT. We may be in an AI bubble, but a practical fix could deflate it: a reliability layer on top of LLMs. The piece argues that hype around artificial general intelligence is overblown and that many pilots fail to reach production. To tame LLMs, the proposed approach introduces a continually expanding set of guardrails, keeps humans in the loop indefinitely, and customizes the system to fit each project. By expanding guardrails, validating behavior, and linking transactions to oversight, this strategy seeks to convert promising pilots into reliable products. If successful, it would reduce risk, improve user trust, and slow the bubble's detonation. Progress requires ongoing discipline, iteration, and governance rather than a single breakthrough.

October 20, 2025, 9:20 AM EDT. Thousands of users reported problems with the Chime banking app amid a broader AWS outage that began around 3 a.m. EST on Oct. 20. Downdetector tallied more than 2,300 reports by 7:53 a.m. EST, and Chime's own status page cited a third-party service provider issue impacting services such as balances viewing and mobile check deposits. AWS later said the incident was largely resolved and attributed the disruption to a problem in its DNS in the US-EAST-1 region. Despite AWS updates, outages continued on Downdetector, and Chime warned it would monitor for further issues. The outage affected other sites as well, underscoring how a cloud-level disruption can ripple into digital banking platforms. USA TODAY will continue to follow developments.
