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.

6 Reasons That Made William Shakespeare So Famous


William Shakespeare became one of the most famous writers in history for various reasons that showcase his unparalleled talent and impact on literature, language, and culture.  


Shakespeare’s plays and sonnets explored timeless human themes such as love, power, jealousy, betrayal, ambition, and mortality, making his works universally relatable.  

He expanded the English language by inventing words, phrases, and expressions still in use today, such as bedazzled, break the ice, and all that glitter is not gold.  

Shakespeare created psychologically rich and multidimensional characters like Hamlet, Macbeth, and Lady Macbeth, whose inner conflicts and motivations continue to captivate audiences.  

His works span multiple genres, including tragedies (Macbeth, Othello), comedies (A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Twelfth Night), histories (Henry V, Richard III), and romances (The Tempest, The Winter’s Tale), appealing to a wide range of audiences.  

Living during the English Renaissance, a time of literary flourishing, Shakespeare’s works reflected and shaped the era’s cultural and intellectual currents.  

His plays and sonnets were preserved and widely circulated, thanks in part to the efforts of his contemporaries who published the First Folio after his death.

5 Animals That Can Change Gender Naturally

Some animals can change their sex naturally – either because of changing weather and circumstances or for reproductive flexibility. Here are some animals with gender fluidity.


The Nemo fish with orange white stripes are hermaphrodites – born one sex but able to switch to the other if necessary.

Bright yellow in colour, these wormlike mollusks are simultaneous hermaphrodites, meaning they don't change back and forth, but use their male and female reproductive organs at the same time. 

Some cardinals have bilateral gynandromorphism – which has nothe male and female feathers.

Frogs can change sex spontaneously complete with fully functioning reproductive organs.

Some female snakes, such as copperheads, are capable of virgin birth, or parthenogenesis, meaning the female fertilises their own eggs without a male sexual partner.

5 Marine Creatures That Produce Their Own Electricity

Deep sea is a fascinating world. Did you know that a staggering 76% of all oceanic marine animals are capable of bioluminescence, which means that they can produce their own light through chemical reactions inside their body? 

Perhaps the most famous bioluminescent predator is the deep-sea anglerfish. It uses its light to attract prey and for finding a mate.

A vampire squid can invert its body and raise its arms to attack with a row of spikes. It also ejects a sticky bioluminescent mucus which can startle, disorient, and confuse predators.

They have red flashlights to see in the dark. 

Lanternfish have adapted an ingenious ability to camouflage themselves using light. They emit a faint glow which allows them to blend in with any remaining light that filters down from the surface.

How to Grow Microgreens at Home in Just a Week

Microgreens can be grown easily at home within a week. Here is how to grow them:

Fill a tray or container with about 3-4 inches of soil.

Next, spread the microgreen seeds on the surface of the soil, by sprinkling with hand.

Cover the seeds with another thin layer of soil and even out the surface so the seeds settle well.

Spray some water on the soil to make it moist, but do not overwater. The tray or container can be placed at room temperature for about two days. After that move it to a sunny spot.

Regularly sprinkle water to keep the soil moist. The microgreens will start growing in about 3-4 days and will be ready to be harvested once they are 2-3 inches tall.
