iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 public beta released: Come and experience the new features!

Image
 Starting today, Apple is allowing members of its public beta program to download and install iOS 26 and iPadOS 26. You can register for public beta status on Apple's Beta website. The first public beta version is identical to the fourth developer beta version released earlier this week, but it also provides developers with a new fourth beta version. iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 adopt the Liquid Glass design, which emphasizes transparency in its visual aesthetics. Elements such as icons, menu buttons, and navigation bars reflect and refract light through subtle animations. Some areas pop up menus, tab bars shrink, and all elements appear more rounded. Apple has introduced several new features, such as Visual Intelligence for screenshots, updated order tracking in the Wallet app, new features in Reminders, and real-time translation in Messages, Phone, and FaceTime.

Jensen Huang: Software engineers can no longer get by with just “writing code by hand”

Image
  Nvidia Corp. CEO Jensen Huang believes that anyone can be a software engineer today, and those who refuse to embrace AI will be left behind by the times. According to Benzinga, during an interview on the “All In Podcast” on the 23rd, Huang was asked about the possibility of AI replacing humans in the job market. In response, he stated that AI not only creates jobs but also brings about new transformations in how people work. Huang said, “AI is the most powerful tool for technological equality in history. Everyone is now a software engineer.” He warned, “If you don't use AI, your job will be replaced by someone who does.” He added, “Software engineers can no longer survive using traditional methods; you can no longer get by just writing raw code.” Huang emphasized that AI not only creates job opportunities but also makes everyone more productive. “In my view, AI is creating jobs. It allows us to create products that others will want to buy, driving more growth and creating more jo...

Intel's Q2 financial results remain flat, European manufacturing project abandoned

Image
  Intel released its second-quarter 2025 financial report on Thursday (July 24), reporting revenue of $12.9 billion, unchanged from the same period last year, and a loss of $2.9 billion, up from $1.6 billion in the same period last year. On the same day, CEO Chen Liwu said that he is pushing forward with a restructuring plan to lay off about 15% of the workforce and announced the cancellation of manufacturing projects originally planned in Germany and Poland. Of the $12.9 billion in revenue, the Client Computing Group (CCG) accounted for $7.9 billion, the Data Center and AI Group (DCAI) accounted for $3.9 billion, and Intel Foundry chip foundry services accounted for $4.4 billion.

Notably, Intel's revenue in the second quarter of 2020 reached as high as $19.7 billion, reflecting a significant...

iOS 26 brings super-useful new Wi-Fi features to the iPhone, making cross-device synchronization super convenient!

Image
As Creative Strategies analyst Max Weinbach discovered, iPhones and iPads running iOS 26 and iPadOS 26 can now sync login information for controlled Wi-Fi networks. For example, when Weinbach checked into a Hilton hotel, his iPhone prompted him to use the Wi-Fi information from his iPad, which was already connected to the hotel network. Controlled Wi-Fi networks are those that require you to fill out a web form to gain access. Such networks are common in hotels, gyms, cafes, airports, and other public spaces. With this new feature (which is likely to be extended to macOS 26), connecting multiple Apple devices to these networks will become faster and easier. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman was the first to report on Apple's plans to introduce this feature, though it was not mentioned during last month's WWDC 2025 keynote speech. MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris later discovered related references in the code of the first iOS 26 developer beta. At the time, it was believed that the...

 Which is more important: quality or sales volume? Quality is undoubtedly more important. If the quality is poor, even if sales volume is high, it will eventually lead to numerous issues and disputes. However, the question is: how can consumers be made aware of high-quality products? One of the key channels is through experiential marketing. Simply displaying different models of solar water heating systems in a specialty store is insufficient. No matter how advanced the technology, how high the performance, or how cost-effective the product may be, consumers cannot discern its merits without firsthand experience. Does your product feature instant heating? Does it offer 24/7 operation? Does it provide an abundance of hot water? Is it intelligent? Does it address consumer concerns about safety, comfort, and convenience?… These offline experiences provide consumers with tangible sensory understanding. Solar energy is not a fast-moving consumer good but an energy system requiring a par...
