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.

Science Behind Runny Nose in Winter Season

Have you ever wondered why our noses start running when we are outside in the cold weather? There’s a scientific explanation for it!

When we breathe chilly air, our noses make the air warm and add moisture to it on its way to our lungs.

The cold, dry air irritates the nasal lining, which leads to nasal glands producing more mucus. This is to keep the lining moist.

This can cause the nose to be runny as the excess mucus drips from the nostrils. To reduce this, you can wear a scarf as it warms the air before it enters your nose.

If you are concerned about your runny nose, consult a health professional.


Simple Ways to Tell if Your Eggs Have Gone Bad

If you can’t remember how old the eggs in your refrigerator are or can’t determine whether they are fit to eat, here are some simple ways you should know to tell bad eggs apart from good ones:

Check the labels on the packaging of your eggs. If your eggs are within 20-30 days of the packaging date or the expiration date written on the package, they are most likely fresh. If they are older than that you should check it by following methods.

If you are doubtful whether your eggs have gone bad, simply crack the egg in a bowl and smell it. If it has a bad, off smell, it is most likely unfit to consume.

The shell of an egg should not be cracked, powdery, or slimy. If it appears okay, crack it in a bowl and look for any unusual colour, as it indicates the presence of bacteria. The whites and yolks of the egg should not be runny.

Gently place the egg in a bowl filled with water. If the egg sinks, it is fresh. However, if it floats or tilts upwards, it is old. However, it may not always tell whether an egg is bad or good.

South Korea Martial Law: A Timeline of How Events Unfolded

On December 3, South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol declared martial law in the country, citing threats from “anti-state forces” and North Korea.

All Political Activities Banned, Censor on Media

After the imposition of martial law, Commander Park An-su issued a six-point decree, banning all political activities and taking media control. Soon, Yonhap News Agency reported that the National Assembly was sealed.


Opposition leader Lee Jae-Myung called the martial law “illegal” and “invalid”, urging people to join him in protest.

Protesters Gather at the National Assembly

Hundreds of protesters and opposition party leaders joined the protest against the imposition of martial law at the South Korean parliament. Troops were seen trying to stop the lawmakers from getting inside the assembly, while helicopters hovered above.


National Assembly Speaker Launches Plenary Session

The National Assembly speaker opened a plenary session. Despite the blockades, 190 lawmakers managed to enter the National Assembly, voting unanimously to reject Yoon’s declaration, and calling for martial law to be lifted.


Military Says Martial Law Will Remain in Place

Despite the parliament’s vote, the South Korean military in a statement said martial law will remain in place “until lifted by president” even as protests continued.


Early on Wednesday at around 4:30 am (1930 GMT Tuesday), Yoon abandoned his short-lived attempt to enforce martial law, announcing it in another televised address.


Opposition Calls for Yoon’s Resignation

Enraged by President Yoon’s moves, the opposition demanded he step down, accusing him of insurrection.


Senior aides working for the South Korean president offer to “resign en masse over martial law declaration,” reports Yonhap.


Opposition Threatens Yoon with Impeachment, Insurrection Charges

South Korea’s main opposition party in a statement announced that if Yoon “does not resign immediately, the Democratic Party will immediately initiate impeachment proceedings in line with the will of the people.” The party also said that it “will file charges of insurrection,” against Yoon and his aides.


Preheat oven to 350 F and grease and line two 9-inch round cake pans.


In a large bowl, whisk together 2 and 1/2 cup all-purpose flour,  2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 teaspoons baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1 tablespoon ground cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon ground ginger.

In a another bowl, beat together 16 tablespoon (2 sticks) unsalted butter and 2 cups of granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 4-5 minutes. Gradually add 3 large beaten eggs and beat for another 1-2 minutes.


Add 1 tablespoon vanilla extract, and 2 and 1/2 cup mashed cooked sweet potatoes and beat until smooth.
