The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to see a steep price hike due to expensive component upgrades. The shift to TSMC's 2nm A20 Pro chip, a mechanical variable aperture camera, 12GB RAM, and a vapour chamber cooling system significantly drive up costs.

iPhone 18 Pro could get much more expensive: Here's why

The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to launch on September 9 with five major upgrades. Rumours point to a 2nm A20 Pro chip, a variable aperture camera, a 35 per cent smaller Dynamic Island, an in-house C2 5G modem, and 12GB of RAM for AI workloads.

iPhone 18 Pro launch: 5 things Apple could change this year

The iPhone 18 Pro Max is expected to cross the Rs 2 lakh mark in India for its highest storage variants. The 2TB model could reach Rs 2,30,000, driven by the costly 2nm A20 Pro chip, 12GB RAM, variable aperture camera, and heavy local taxation.

The A20 Pro shifts to a 2nm node, upgrading from the 3nm A19 Pro. It features a 7-core GPU, 8MB efficiency cache, and a 96-bit memory bus. New WMCM packaging and 12GB RAM deliver 30 per cent better power efficiency.

A20 Pro vs A19 Pro: What will actually change?

Apple is reducing the Dynamic Island on the iPhone 18 Pro by 35 per cent, shrinking it from 20.7mm to 13.5mm. By moving the Face ID flood illuminator and infrared sensors under the display, Apple reclaims screen space while preserving functionality.

5 Herbal Tea That Can Help Soothe With Bloating

UFC Rewind 2024: A Look at the Top Highlights

From Last-Round Knockouts to Thrilling Decision Wins

UFC 2024 has been a year of legendary moments—from last-round knockouts in many title fights to thrilling decision victories that changed the course of a fight. India made history this year as Puja Tomar became the first-ever Indian to win a UFC fight.

Here’s a look at the biggest highlights from UFC 2024:



Often fighters who become champions in combat sports tend to take it slow, defending their titles not very actively. But that’s not the case with Alex Pereira. The Brazilian kickboxing prodigy and former UFC Middleweight champion defended his Light Heavyweight Title thrice this year against Jamahal Hill (US), Jiri Prochazka (Czech), and Khalil Rountree (US). In his third title defence against Rountree, Pereira was sick and injured but still managed to win.

Jon Jones is one of the GOATs of MMA. The former UFC Light Heavyweight champion became the Heavyweight champion last year but could only defend the title recently. Jones retained the Heavyweight title with a technical knockout over Stipe Miocic at UFC 309 in November.

Puja Tomar, a resident of the Indian state of Uttar Pradesh, became the first Indian MMA fighter to secure a victory in the UFC. She defeated Rayanne Dos Santos of Brazil by a split decision of 30-27, 27-30, and 29-28 in the women’s strawweight division at UFC Louisville 2024 in June.

Max Holloway (US) defeated Justin Gaethje (US) to win the BMF belt. The fight between the two Americans was of the highest quality, with Holloway knocking out Gaethje with just one second to spare in the fifth and final round.

5 Simple Steps to Make Homemade Ferrero Rocher



Spread hazelnuts on a baking tray and roast for seven to eight minutes. Let them cool, then rub off the skins using your hands or a towel.

Blend roasted hazelnuts, cocoa powder, vanilla, almond flour, honey and salt in a food processor until the mixture becomes a sticky dough.

Take a small portion of the mixture, flatten it and place a whole hazelnut inside. Roll it into a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.


Melt chocolate chips using a double boiler, then dip the hazelnut balls into the melted chocolate to coat evenly.


Place the coated balls on parchment paper and refrigerate for 20-30 minutes. Now you can enjoy your homemade Ferrero Rocher.
