Images shared this week by longtime leaker Sonny Dickson give the first clear look at the finishes Apple appears ready to offer on the iPhone 18 Pro. Four dummy units sit side by side, each finished in a different shade and built to the same overall shape as last year’s Pro model. Four color choices stand out clearly in the shared photos.
The AI movie Dreams of Violets is the creation of Ash Koosha and his brother Pooya. As for the direction, writing, and production of this movie, the two brothers created the film as part of their production company Fountain 0. At the time of its production, Ash was in London, and the movie took about three months to make, with a production budget of just $2,000.
Looking for a portable Bluetooth speaker that will not disappoint in terms of performance? The Ultimate Ears WONDERBOOM 4, priced at $51.44 (was $100), is an ideal fit. It fits neatly into daypacks or backpacks without adding weight, yet produces music that penetrates through even small spaces and outdoor gatherings with startling power.
Ivan Miranda has turned a long-running experiment with rolling balls into a clock that actually keeps pace with passing seconds. The latest version of his marble timepiece refreshes its display fast enough to show hours, minutes, and seconds without any visible lag between changes. Each digit takes shape inside a compact 3-by-5 grid. Fifteen marbles settle into the exact spots needed to outline a number. White marbles stand where a digit needs its bright segments, while black marbles fill the remaining positions to create clear contrast. The result looks like a physical version of familiar numeric shapes, built from actual objects rather than light or ink.
Engineers at Duke University built a family of robots around one steady goal. They wanted machines that could act with the same strength and quickness no matter which way the body pointed. The clearest working example carries twenty legs that reach outward from a central core. Each leg shortens or lengthens through a cable-driven mechanism. The legs sit in a pattern based on a twelve-sided geometric form, so they spread evenly around the machine. White rounded caps sit at the outer ends of many legs, and small depth cameras look outward from the tips. The finished shape looks rounded and bristling, not unlike a sea urchin resting on the ground.
