X rolls out support for posting Community Notes in India ahead of elections
Weeks before the national elections in India, Elon Musk-owned X said it is rolling out support for posting Community Notes — the company’s crowd-sourced fact-checking program — in the key overseas market.
The first set of contributors from India will start posting notes from today and more will be accepted over time, X said. The contributors typically provide more context to popular posts to debunk any myth or offer broader insights. These submissions are then rated by users on factors such as the helpfulness they provide or the accuracy.

Apple's next big thing could be a robot for your home
Apple wouldn't be first to launch a personal robot, with Amazon's Astro already available.
👉Apple is reportedly investigating personal robotics, with two projects at a research stage.
👉One project is a robotic smart display with a screen that can move around.
👉The other project is a personal robot that could roam around your home.

iPhone 16 Rumored to Feature Even Thinner Bezels
Some iPhone 16 models will feature thinner bezels thanks to Border Reduction Structure (BRS) technology.
BRS technology allows for a more compact and efficient layout of the screen's underlying circuitry, enabling slimmer bezels without compromising on the display's performance or the device's overall form factor. This requires precise and advanced manufacturing techniques, given the complexity of tighter circuit placement and the need for bending some wiring downwards beneath the bezel.
It is not clear whether the slimmer bezel technology is destined for the standard iPhone 16 models, the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, or both. It may be more likely to appear singularly in the iPhone 16 Pro models since these devices are expected to see display size increases from 6.1- to 6.3-inches and 6.7- to 6.9-inches

Apple has announced that iOs 18, its upcoming software update for iPhones, will be its "biggest" yet, introducing a host of new features and improvements!
However, certain older iPhone models will be incompatible with the iOS 18 update, meaning users of those devices will miss out on the new version of Siri, the more customizable home screen, the integration of generative Al in built-in apps, the hearing aid mode for AirPods Pro users, and the custom routes feature in Maps.
Despite the incompatibility with some models, Apple is promising extensive support for a wide range of iPhones, ensuring that many users will be able to take advantage of the significant upgrades offered by iOS 18.

Apple's Work on Robots: What We Know So Far
The Robot Rumors
According to Bloomberg Apple is looking for its "next big thing," and robotics are one area of focus. Apple has engineering teams working on various in-home robotic devices and the AI software and functionality that might be able to make a home robot useful.
Mobile Robot
Apple is considering a mobile robot that would follow users around the home, presumably serving as something like an iPad on wheels. A robot would likely be able to place FaceTime calls, monitor the home and the people in it, carry out simple tasks, and answer queries.
Apple is said to be exploring AI algorithms that would be used to help robots navigate cluttered spaces in homes, and while Apple wants to design a robot that would clean and do chores much like Rosey in the Jetsons, it's too complicated for now. Gurman says that such a robot is unlikely this decade due to "extraordinarily difficult engineering challenges."

Meta is testing an AI-powered search bar in Instagram
Meta is pushing ahead with its efforts to make its generative AI-powered products available to more users. The company is also experimenting with putting Meta AI in the Instagram search bar for both chat with AI and content discovery.
The search query in the search bar leads you to a conversation in DM with Meta AI, where you can ask questions or use one of the pre-loaded prompts. The design of the prompt screen prompted Perplexity AI’s CEO, Aravind Srinivas, to point out that the interface uses a design similar to the startup’s search screen.
