  • OnePlus 15 forgoes built-in magnets for MagSafe-style charging to fit a bigger battery
    November 12, 2025, 1:48 PM EST. OnePlus 15 won't include built-in magnets for MagSafe-style charging, explains Rudolf Xu, because magnets are heavy and space inside the phone is precious for a bigger battery. The phone rocks a 7,300mAh battery (about 22% larger than the OnePlus 13 and ~40% larger than the Pixel 10 Pro XL) and supports 120W wired charging via SuperVOOC and 50W wireless charging via AirVOOC. A magnetic charging experience will require a separate case, preserving battery life and performance. OnePlus notes Samsung uses a similar trade-off: cases can be Qi2-ready, while phones stay magnet-free. In short: bigger battery at the expense of built-in magnets, with a workaround via a magnetic case.
  • OnePlus 15 Finds Its Way: From Rebellion to Refined Flagship
    November 12, 2025, 1:46 PM EST. OnePlus 15 marks a deliberate shift from its rebellious past to a more polished flagship. The alert slider is replaced by the Plus Key, but it unlocks AI-powered workflows in OxygenOS 16, turning a hardware choice into software leverage. The design abandons the previous curved silhouette for a flat aluminum frame with a subtle Sand Storm finish and a cleaner, more professional look, even retiring the oversized circular camera island. Under the hood, the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 pairs with a 3D vapor chamber cooling system to boost sustained performance, aiming to outpace the Galaxy S25 Ultra. It's a bold rethink that trades rebellion for reliability, signaling OnePlus finally listening to mass-market expectations while keeping its performance edge.
  • Nvidia Stock Slides After SoftBank Exits; OpenAI Funding Remains in Focus; Apple Rises
    November 12, 2025, 1:38 PM EST. SoftBank pulled its $5.8 billion stake in Nvidia, sending Nvidia shares lower by about 2.6% and dragging other tech names like Tesla, Meta, and Intel down modestly. The tech-heavy Nasdaq slipped while the S&P 500 hovered. SoftBank still backs OpenAI with its Nvidia exposure, fueling ongoing AI funding after pledging roughly $7.5B in support and plans for more. Despite the pullback, Apple bucked the trend, climbing over 1.5% to new highs even as it delays the iPhone Air launch. The episode underscored how entwined AI investing is with major players and suggests the AI rally could wobble, even as backers keep supporting industry giants via OpenAI and related bets.
  • BIEA Champions Digital Intelligence for Good at World Internet Conference 2025
    November 12, 2025, 1:36 PM EST. At the 2025 World Internet Conference Charity Forum, the British International Education Association (BIEA) urged a youth-centered approach to AI and digital transformation. BIEA representative Nikki Collins delivered a keynote stressing that technology must serve people to build a better world. Drawing on work in 30+ countries, Collins highlighted two realities shaping youth today: Access ≠ aspiration or capability, and concerns about well-being. Case studies show that when young people use accessible AI tools to tackle real challenges-from wildlife protection to ocean plastics- they gain technical skills, ethics, and teamwork using open-source resources. BIEA's framework calls for a whole-society approach to ages 0-25, with four priorities: lower barriers to STEM participation, integrate well-being into digital learning, encourage responsible AI, and strengthen cross-sector collaboration.
  • SoftBank sells Nvidia stake; AI valuations in focus as funding pressures rise
    November 12, 2025, 1:34 PM EST. SoftBank's shares slid in Tokyo after revealing it sold its Nvidia stake last month, raising about $5.8 billion to fund AI bets on OpenAI and other pioneers. The move has sparked questions about the durability of sky-high AI valuations, even as SoftBank says it remains committed to the sector. Nvidia shares fell about 3% as tech stocks wobbled. Analysts say the sale needn't signal retreat from AI; instead it could shift funding toward users of AI, like OpenAI and ABB Robotics. The episode highlights SoftBank's funding pressures as it backs a broader AI ecosystem, with markets assessing whether recent rallies can be sustained and how new entrants compete for capital.
