The iPhone 18 Pro is expected to receive a major camera hardware upgrade while keeping the aluminium alloy exterior material used on the iPhone 17 Pro. Bloomberg\'s Mark Gurman forecast the biggest camera hardware changes in years, including a variable-aperture main camera, a wider aperture for the telephoto camera and added Pro-only software features. Reports also flagged improved camera controls, while concerns over scratch-prone aluminium compared with titanium may persist.

Humanoid robots are rapidly improving in their ability to perform tasks, but analysts and researchers say it will take years before they can meaningfully replace human labor. Demos by robotics firm Figure AI drew attention, yet questions remain over adaptability, reliability and costs in real-world settings. Experts say robots are most likely to replace repetitive physical work in structured environments, while AI may more readily replace administrative tasks. Charging, maintenance, safety and regulation are cited as barriers to broader deployment.
