Apparently, Apple is developing the first foldable iPhone. Rumors on this indicate that the new phone will be out next year, around 2026. Perhaps its design will be like the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip-it folds horizontally-but that’s all speculative. Nothing concrete is pointing it as an iPhone SE 4 foldable. Traditionally, the line of iPhone SE has been associated with affordability and compact design. The SE 4 is likely to follow the same trend in design as previous versions, which may include a 6.1-inch OLED, and will come with the Dynamic Island feature first introduced on the iPhone 14. Foldable technology with Apple does raise certain issues such as screen durability and cost at least to an extent when compared to its closest competitor: Samsung. This could be a completely different move because of the transition that would represent introducing a foldable device under a budget friendly line like SE.

Ubisoft’s Financial Woes Deepen with Tom Clancy and Assassin Creed’s Poor Performance
Now the house of one time video gaming behemoth and manufacturer of famous brands like Assassin’s Creed and Tom Clancy finds itself grappling with major financial headaches. Such games as Star Wars Outlaws were underwhelming for the corporation and significant major delays on products such as Assassin’s Creed Shadows brought about steep dives in the sell of and equity value of shares. This reduced the market capitalization of the company from around $12.17 billion during 2021 to nearly $1.6 billion as January 2025. Strategic reforms in live-service and multiplayer games haven’t managed to bring up the expected profitability, increasing more financial issues further. Accrued debt and massive lay-offs, and how the company now finds itself among the buyout list with some investors like Tencent, indicates to what extent the company is behind in terms of loss. The future of the company depends on innovative game development and efficient resource management to regain its standing in the competitive gaming industry.
New Research Links Apple Watch Bands to Cancer
Recently, the University of Notre Dame found that smartwatch bands from several companies contained high levels of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, also known as “forever chemicals.” These substances are associated with various health issues including cancer, birth defects, and infertility. According to the researchers, the fluoroelastomer bands in Sport Band, Nike Sport Band, and Ocean Band have alarming concentrations of PFAS. The health risk exposure through the skin is likely to happen when someone is physically active. In this regard, Apple is being sued while still saying their watch bands are safe and that they will eliminate the PFAS contents in all their products. This also raises concern over PFAS in consumer goods, and therefore, it calls for more research to understand the long-term implications of these chemicals.

Chinese DeepSeek Worst in the AI Race Hindered by Inaccuracies, English Grammar Mistakes, and Privacy Worries
DeepSeek is an AI model developed in China and managed to compete with international leaders that include OpenAI’s ChatGPT. Its poor limitations hamper its integration into the world of international AI. Although DeepSeek is solid in processing the Chinese language, the AI generates too many grammatical errors when it uses the English language. Some cases have been seen whereby users were able to prove AI wrong; they even could not comprehend some given commands. This cannot help DeepSeek be used for professional or academic purposes. Besides, DeepSeek’s data management policies raise several privacy issues. It is built under Chinese data policies, which are not global standards like GDPR. All these issues collectively make DeepSeek incapable of becoming a viable alternative in the global AI market.
World Champion Gukesh Close to Clinching Tata Steel Title
Indian chess sensation D. Gukesh, eighteen years young, is standing on the verge of winning this year’s edition of the esteemed Tata Steel Chess Tournament 2025 in Wijk aan Zee, Netherlands. Gukesh took the world championship by playing more than what the Chinese powerhouse, Ding Liren, was showing in December 2024. Gukesh has shown immense consistency during this Tata Steel tournament, nicknamed fondly the “Wimbledon of Chess.” In the first round, he outplayed Anish Giri; in the fifth round, Gukesh had outwitted Vincent Keymer. When into the tenth round, Indian Grandmaster R. Praggnanandhaa could get a peep at him but was really within his grasp. It would be a personal victory for Gukesh but a gigantic moment for Indian chess if he were to emerge victorious at Tata Steel, as any champion of today would be remembered in the style of former champion Viswanathan Anand.

Why Nobody Liked Assassin Creed Mirage, Leading to Millions in Losses for Ubisoft
Assassin’s Creed Mirage was intended to be a nostalgic effort at bringing the franchise back to its stealthy roots with a smaller game world and more straightforward mechanics as opposed to the recent RPG-focused titles of the series. Fans appreciated the nostalgic approach, but most condemned the outdated gameplay, lack of innovation, and unengaging storyline. Stealth mechanics were shallow, combat and parkour were not as smooth, and the overall narrative failed to captivate its audience or expand the massive Assassin’s Creed lore. Although the historical setting of Baghdad was praised, the world lacked interactivity and meaningful content. Although it had decent initial sales, fan disappointment over the game’s short length and price hurt the long-term reception.

Indian Basketball’s Battle for Existence – No Stars, Coaches or Courts
It’s an international game, yet in India, basketball is unable to catch up with cricket or even kabaddi, which is far smaller. This is once again due to several reasons-scant talent of professional players, not enough world-class sportsmen, too fewer quality coaches, inferior structures, and participation levels being low. Basketball remains on the periphery of India’s sporting landscape with just fewer than 500 professionals, less than 1,000 functional courts, and zero media coverage, except for a few sporadic events. These initiatives, along with the like of NBA Academies and the Khelo initiative, are in place, however, systemic overhaul through grassroots developments, better training, and improvements in infrastructure are well needed for sustainability and growth within the sport within India.
