  • Apple in discussions over folding iPhone test hub
    www.macworld.com
    MacworldThis falls new iPhones arent yet on store shelvesthey officially go on sale todaybut the eyes of Apple pundits have already turned to the next generation. Specifically, to the first-ever foldable iPhone, which is tentatively expected to launch in 2026.Theres plenty of time for that to change before next fall. But the so-called iPhone Fold appears to have come a step closer to reality, with the news that Apple has spoken to suppliers in Taiwan about setting up a test production line for the device. Ultimately, this could lead to the folding iPhone being mass-produced in India, as Apple aims to reduce its reliance on Chinese manufacturing.According to Nikkei Asia, discussions have focused on the idea of building in Taiwan a mini pilot line that would verify the equipment and fine-tune the parameters and manufacturing steps for making a foldable iPhone. If successful, this line would be replicated at scale in India, shortening the learning curve and helping to ensure a smooth rollout.It would be reasonable at this point to feel skeptical. After all, were multiple speculative leaps away from a folding iPhone actually being launched: Apple isnt building a folding iPhone, nor even running test production ahead of building a folding iPhone. Its discussing the idea of setting up test production ahead of building a folding iPhone. When you put it like that, the idea sounds almost silly.But the story has some substance to it. For one thing, Nikkei cites three sources who are familiar with the talks rather than the traditional two. (And thats for reputable sites. Its by no means unknown for media outlets to publish a report based on only a single source.) For another, theres an impressive level of detail. The article mentions that the line would be built in a plot of land in a northern Taiwanese city and that it would need roughly a thousand operators. It also reports that Apple is looking to increase iPhone shipments by 10 percent next year, and that it expects a foldable model to spur demand.Apple has long been unhappy about relying on China-based suppliers for its enormous manufacturing operation. In the past this was principally because of human-rights concerns, but political tensions have become more of a factor since President Trump returned to the White House.For now the folding iPhone remains merely a rumor. But its believed that the iPhone Air was at one time intended to be a folding device, and that it remains a testbed for many features that will enable Apple to launch the first foldable iPhone in the following generation. It could of course be delayed yet again. But Apples plans in this regard will become clearer in 2026, and you can keep up with all the latest news and rumors in our regularly updated folding iPhone superguide.

  • A pivotal meeting on vaccine guidance is underwayand former CDC leaders are alarmed
    www.technologyreview.com
    This week has been an eventful one for Americas public health agency. Two former leaders of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention explained the reasons for their sudden departures from the agency in a Senate hearing. And they described how CDC employees are being instructed to turn their backs on scientific evidence.The CDCs former director Susan Monarez and former chief medical officer Debra Houry took questions from a Senate committee on Wednesday. They painted a picture of a health agency in turmoiland at risk of harming the people it is meant to serve.On Thursday, an advisory CDC panel that develops vaccine guidance met for a two-day discussion on multiple childhood vaccines. During the meeting, which was underway as The Checkup went to press, members of the panel were set to discuss those vaccines and propose recommendations on their use.Monarez worries that access to childhood vaccines is under threatand that the public health consequences could be dire. If vaccine protections are weakened, preventable diseases will return, she said.As the current secretary of health and human services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr. oversees federal health and science agencies that include the CDC, which monitors and responds to threats to public health. Part of that role involves developing vaccine recommendations.As weve noted before, RFK Jr. has long been a prominent critic of vaccines. He has incorrectly linked commonly used ingredients to autism and made other incorrect statements about risks associated with various vaccines.Still, he oversaw the recruitment of Monarezwho does not share those beliefsto lead the agency. When she was sworn in on July 31, Monarez, who is a microbiologist and immunologist, had already been serving as acting director of the agency. She had held prominent positions at other federal agencies and departments too, including the Advanced Research Projects Agency for Health (ARPA-H) and the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority (BARDA). Kennedydescribed her as a public health expert with unimpeachable scientific credentials.His opinion seems to have changed somewhat since then. Just 29 days after Monarez took on her position, she was turfed out of the agency. And in yesterdays hearing, she explained why.On August 25, Kennedy asked Monarez to do two things, she said. First, he wanted her to commit to firing scientists at the agency. And second, he wanted her to pre-commit to approve vaccine recommendations made by the agencys Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP), regardless of whether there was any scientific evidence to support those recommendations, she said. He just wanted blanket approval, she said during her testimony.She refused both requests.Monarez testified that she didnt want to get rid of hardworking scientists who played an important role in keeping Americans safe. And she said she could not commit to approving vaccine recommendations without reviewing the scientific evidence behind them and maintain her integrity. She was sacked.Those vaccine recommendations are currently under discussion, and scientists like Monarez are worried about how they might change. Kennedy fired all 17 members of the previous committee in June. (Monarez said she was not consulted on the firings and found out about them through media reports.)A clean sweep is needed to reestablish public confidence in vaccine science, Kennedy wrote ina piece for the Wall Street Journal at the time. He went on to replace those individuals with eight new members, some of whom have been prominent vaccine critics andhave spread misinformation about vaccines. One later withdrew.That new panel met two weeks later. Themeeting included a presentation about thimerosala chemical that Kennedy has incorrectly linked to autism, and which is no longer included in vaccines in the USand a proposal to recommend that the MMRV vaccine (for measles, mumps, rubella, and varicella) not be offered to children under the age of four.Earlier this week,five new committee members were named. They includeindividuals who have advocated against vaccine mandates and who have argued that mRNA-based covid vaccines should be removed from the market.All 12 members are convening for a meeting that runs today and tomorrow. At that meeting, members will propose recommendations for the MMRV vaccine and vaccines for covid-19 and hepatitis B, according to an agenda published on the CDC website.Those are the recommendations for which Monarez says she was asked to provide blanket approval. My worst fear is that I would then be in a position of approving something that reduces access [to] lifesaving vaccines to children and others who need them, she said.That job now goes to Jim ONeill, the deputy health secretary and acting CDC director (also a longevity enthusiast), who now holds the authority to approve those recommendations.We dont yet know what those recommendations will be. But if they are approved, they could reshape access to vaccines for children and vulnerable people in the US. Assix former chairs of the committee wrote for STAT: ACIP is directly linked to the Vaccines for Children program, which provides vaccines without cost to approximately 50% of children in the US, and the Affordable Care Act that requires insurance coverage for ACIP-recommended vaccines to approximately 150 million people in the US.Drops in vaccine uptake have already contributed to this years measles outbreak in the US, which is the biggest in decades. Two children have died. We are already seeing the impact of undermined trust in childhood vaccines. As Monarez put it: The stakes are not theoretical.This article first appeared in The Checkup,MIT Technology Reviewsweekly biotech newsletter.

  • How to change what the iPhone 17 Camera Control button does
    appleinsider.com
    Unless you've gone looking in System Settings, you may not be aware that the Camera Control button on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 can be set to do other functions besides set up and take a picture. Here's how to change it.The Camera Control button is currently unique to the iPhone 16 and 17 lineups.By default, pressing the Camera Control button launches the Camera app on the iPhone 16 and iPhone 17 models. Once open, pressing the button again will take a picture, or pressing and holding will shoot video.A light press on the Camera Control button once the Camera app is open gives users a haptic click and the ability to adjust settings like zoom level or exposure. It operates sort of like the dials or on-screen controls in DSLR cameras. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums

  • Beneath the Boom: Insights From Indias Construction Surge
    architizer.com
    Architects: Want to have your project featured? Showcase your work by uploading projects to Architizerand sign up for ourinspirational newsletters.India is undergoing one of the worlds largest construction booms, with the industry projected to exceed two trillion dollars by 2030. Highways, railways and logistics networks are being built at a record pace, while the demand for housing and workplaces continues to climb across both metropolitan and regional centers. The sheer scale of investment has turned the country into a proving ground for how fast a built environment can change.But within this story of growth lies another, quieter one. Alongside the figures and infrastructure plans, recent projects reveal a shift in how architecture is conceived less as a matter of expansion alone and more as a search for resilience, identity and social value. Housing is being shaped to counter extreme heat, schools are opening themselves to nature, corporate campuses are testing net-zero strategies and cultural buildings are placing heritage and landscape at the forefront.Indias boom is vast, but the work emerging from it suggests that something more lasting may be underway: a new design culture taking root in the very midst of rapid change.1. Homes for a Changing Nation: Climate and Community at the CoreResidential construction is the backbone of Indias building boom, forming the largest share of new development as cities expand and rural populations migrate toward urban centers. Yet within this vast demand, many architects are proving that housing can do more than meet numerical targets. Across the country, new homes are experimenting with strategies that respond to extreme heat, promote ventilation and create a stronger sense of community. Rather than demoting resilience and social life to secondary considerations, both qualities are considered integral to how domestic architecture is conceived.SCREEN 504 by Sanjay Puri Architects, Udaipur, India | Popular Choice Winner, Multi Unit Housing (High Rise 16+ Floors), 13th Architizer A+AwardsSCREEN 504 by Sanjay Puri Architects, Udaipur, India | Popular Choice Winner, Multi Unit Housing (High Rise 16+ Floors), 13th Architizer A+AwardsIn Udaipur, Screen 504 shows how these principles can operate at the scale of a high-rise. Drawing on the citys tradition of screened balconies, the twenty-onestorey tower incorporates shaded decks that filter harsh sun while offering residents layered outdoor spaces. It demonstrates how vernacular ideas can be reimagined for contemporary urban housing, turning a dense residential block into a model for climate-conscious living.Vaazh by vy architecture studio, Chennai, IndiaVaazh by vy architecture studio, Chennai, IndiaAt the opposite end of the spectrum, Vaazh in Chennai illustrates how the same thinking applies to a single family home. The revival of the thinnai a raised veranda that connects household and street makes the residence porous to neighbors, animals and climate alike. By rooting the design in this traditional threshold, the house becomes less an isolated dwelling and more a participant in the life of its neighborhood.2. Knowledge and Community Spaces: Building for the Next GenerationIf housing illustrates the scale of Indias construction surge, its schools and community centers reflect the kinds of values that growth is beginning to carry. Recent projects show an interest in openness, accessibility and a closer connection to everyday life, turning educational and civic buildings into active parts of their surroundings.Nokha Village Community Centre by Sanjay Puri Architects, Nokha, India | Popular Choice Winner, Libraries, 13th Architizer A+AwardsNokha Village Community Centre by Sanjay Puri Architects, Nokha, India | Popular Choice Winner, Libraries, 13th Architizer A+AwardsIn Rajasthan, the Nokha Village Community Centre brings these ambitions into a desert landscape. Its looping form encloses a shaded courtyard, while sandstone screens and a sloping rooftop garden respond directly to the climate. Inside are resources that have long been absent in the region, from a digital library for children to a museum of local culture, each framed by construction methods and materials drawn from nearby villages.Centre for Inclusive Growth & Competitiveness for Tapmi by The Purple Ink Studio, Manipal, India | Jury Winner, Community Centers, 13th Architizer A+AwardsCentre for Inclusive Growth & Competitiveness for Tapmi by The Purple Ink Studio, Manipal, India | Jury Winner, Community Centers, 13th Architizer A+AwardsIn Manipal, the TAPMI Centre for Sustainability reshapes the idea of an academic block. The design spills outward into terraces and an open amphitheater, with circulation paths that merge into the life of the campus. By keeping its edges porous, the building attracts activity well beyond class hours, offering students and the wider community spaces for gathering, study and exchange.Both of these examples suggest that institutional design in India is moving toward a more public role, one that makes education and community visible and accessible in equal measure.3. Infrastructure as Identity: Landmark Architecture on a National ScaleWhile the most dominant typologies respond to daily life, it is the large civic investments that most visibly alter the countrys architectural landscape. Some of the latest widely recognized projects act as symbols as much as they do functional buildings, signaling how the country envisions its place in the world.Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru Terminal 2 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Bengaluru, India. Jury Winner and Popular Choice Winner, 12th Annual A+Awards, Sustainable Transportation Project.Kempegowda International Airport, Bengaluru Terminal 2 by Skidmore, Owings & Merrill (SOM), Bengaluru, India. Jury Winner and Popular Choice Winner, 12th Annual A+Awards, Sustainable Transportation Project.In Bengaluru, the Kempegowda International Airport Terminal 2 frames travel through the lens of landscape. Gardens, bamboo structures and daylit halls turn the terminal into an architectural emblem of the citys identity as Indias garden capital, while its LEED Platinum pre-certification highlights a growing commitment to sustainability.Yashobhoomi by CP Kukreja Architects, New Delhi, IndiaYashobhoomi by CP Kukreja Architects, New Delhi, IndiaIn Delhi, the Yashobhoomi Convention Centre underscores the global aspirations of Indias boom. Stretching across hundreds of acres, it combines vast auditoriums and exhibition halls with green boulevards and car-free zones, marking it as both a site of international exchange and a statement of national ambition.Large-scale civic projects like these are not only shaping infrastructure, but are also changing the image of the country to both the world and to its own citizens.4. Work and Innovation: Creative Corporate Campuses and StudiosThe commercial surge in India has often been measured in warehouses, logistics parks and IT hubs, but the design of workplaces themselves is undergoing its own transformation. As companies expand, offices are being asked to carry more weight than simple functionality: they are expected to model sustainability, represent cultural values and support new patterns of collaboration.Infosys Campus by Morphogenesis, Nagpur, IndiaInfosys Campus by Morphogenesis, Nagpur, IndiaIn Nagpur, the Infosys Campus translates these ambitions into a large-scale experiment. Its net-zero design incorporates passive cooling, radiant systems and carefully oriented floor plates to cut energy use, while its faades carry local references that tie global technology to regional identity.ADND SILO by Atelier Design N Domain, Mumbai, IndiaADND SILO by Atelier Design N Domain, Mumbai, IndiaIn Mumbai, the ADND SILO illustrates how the same ambitions play out in smaller, adaptive contexts. A former industrial silo has been recast as a design studio headquarters, retaining its rough shell while introducing expressive new interiors that speak to the studios creative ethos.5. Culture and Identity: Spaces That Celebrate HeritageAmid the speed of infrastructure and commercial growth, cultural projects are showing how architecture in India remains tied to heritage, storytelling and the shaping of collective identity. Some of these works may be smaller in scale than airports or campuses, but they carry an outsized role in linking contemporary design to history and landscape.Hampi Art Labs by Sameep Padora and Associates (sP+a), Hampi, India. Photos by: Studio RecallHampi Art Labs by Sameep Padora and Associates (sP+a), Hampi, India. Photos by: Studio RecallIn Hampi, Hampi Art Labs sets a cultural campus into the terrain itself, its iron oxide walls and curving forms rising like extensions of the surrounding hills. Focusing on art, heritage and landscape, the project draws international attention while remaining rooted in local materials and traditions.The Forest of Knowledge by studio HINGE, Mumbai, India, Popular Choice Winner, 13th Annual A+Awards, Educational Interiors. Photos by: Suryan & Dang, studio HINGEThe Forest of Knowledge by studio HINGE, Mumbai, India, Popular Choice Winner, 13th Annual A+Awards, Educational Interiors. Photos by: Suryan & Dang, studio HINGEThis idea of preserving heritage and bringing it closer to everyday life also translates into more intimate settings. In Mumbai, the Forest of Knowledge reimagines what a library can look like in the digital age. Columns transformed into tree-like structures, circular bookshelves, and open reading spaces recreate the atmosphere of reading under a canopy, while new programs such as film screenings and workshops make the library a gathering space as much as an archive.Cultural projects such as these affirm that Indias construction boom is not only about scale and speed, but about continuity as well, sustaining stories, places and practices that define the countrys identity.Architects: Want to have your project featured?
