1. Apple Gears Up for iPhone 16 Launch—Get Ready for Another Overpriced Upgrade
Apple is about to unleash the iPhone 16 series on September 9, with big claims of larger screens, improved AI features, and better cameras. Expect the Pro models to hit 6.3 to 6.9 inches, as if your pockets weren’t struggling enough. AI advancements and improved battery life are also in the mix, but you’ll probably need to sell a kidney to afford these “upgrades.” Apple also plans to shift all iPhones to OLED screens by 2025, pushing out older display suppliers. Brace yourselves, it's the same phone in a shinier package!(Business Today)(mint).
2. Elon Musk Admits X (Twitter) Algorithm is a Dumpster Fire—Surprise!
Elon Musk has acknowledged the obvious: X’s algorithm sucks. He blames it for everything from poor engagement to platform degradation. His grand solution? Likely more cryptic promises and half-baked features to keep us on edge while users continue to abandon the platform. Musk is already on shaky ground after several missteps in his X revamp, so expect more chaos as they tweak the algorithm like a doomed science project (mint).
3. YouTube’s Weak Attempt to Protect Teens from Toxic Content
YouTube has introduced new "safety features" for teens, trying to reduce exposure to harmful videos about body image and fitness. Good luck with that. They claim these updates are based on "advisory committees" that pointed out the obvious: teens are negatively impacted by constant exposure to unattainable standards. Too little, too late, YouTube—you should’ve done this ages ago instead of drowning us in influencer content (mint).
4. Google Expands Gemini Live AI—So Now Your AI Can Talk Back!
Google is rolling out its Gemini Live AI to more users, letting them have voice-based conversations with the AI. No more typing or clicking, just awkwardly talking to your phone like it’s your friend. This feature is exclusive to Gemini Advanced subscribers, so if you’re not willing to pay, enjoy your basic bot. It’s a cool feature but feels like a solution searching for a problem. Next thing you know, your AI will be asking you the questions (mint).
5. Nothing OS 3.0 Leak—Maybe Something Interesting Finally

Based on Android 15, the update is rumored to bring performance enhancements, but whether it’s enough to make Nothing Phone owners care remains to be seen. Is it revolutionary? Probably not.
