iPhone 16 Pro launch: Four potential camera features for Apple’s 2024 “Pro” versions. With the September release of the iPhone 16 series, Apple promises significant improvements to the camera, including better sensors, zoom, and lens flare reduction technologies.

Though there are already a lot of web leaks and rumors, Apple is expected to release the iPhone 16 series of handsets in September. After the iPhone 15 Pro models’ design changes from the previous year, this year’s version is anticipated to have a strong emphasis on camera improvements. This means that consumers’ experiences with photography and videography will be improved in several ways.

iPhone 16 Pro may get an upgraded ultra-wide camera

Leaks suggest a major camera improvement for the lineup, especially the ultra-wide camera. The phone may come with a 48MP ultra-wide shooter – a significant upgrade from the current 12MP version in the iPhone 15 Pro. This change is likely to bring better performance in various shooting conditions, particularly low light, more detailed photos, and more editing and post-processing flexibility.

Camera likely to get more optical Zoom

The cameras on smartphones are getting more advanced. According to reports, Apple is bringing the enhanced tetraprism camera design—which is only seen in the iPhone 15 Pro Max—to the smaller iPhone 16 Pro. Both models will be able to deliver at least 25x digital zoom and 5x optical zoom thanks to this improvement.
Additionally, rumors indicate that the Max may come equipped with a “periscope ultra-long telephoto combination” for enhanced optical zoom capabilities.

UN to vote tomorrow on Palestinian state UN membership

The United Nations Security Council will vote Thursday on the Palestinians’ application to become a full UN member state, an AFP report said. The General Assembly can admit a new member state with a two-thirds majority vote, but only after the Security Council gives its recommendation. The Palestinians — who have had observer status at the United Nations since 2012 — have lobbied for years to gain full membership. According to the Palestinian side, 137 of the 193 UN member states already recognize a Palestinian state, raising hope that their request would be supported in the General Assembly. But the Palestinian push for UN membership faces a major hurdle, as the United States — Israel’s closest ally — could use its veto power to block the Security Council recommendation.

What Happened to Jimmy Butler? After the Heat’s loss to the 76ers, an update on Lakers star MCL injuries!

Jimmy Butler is the face of Miami Heat and the franchise struggles when he is unfit. As the Miami Heat prepare to face the Chicago Bulls to get into playoffs, Butler’s injury is making Heat fans sweat.

Jimmy Butler injury

The star guard took a serious tumble, and with him went Miami Heat supporters’ dreams of making it to the postseason this year. Shams Charania claims that Butler will be sidelined for an undetermined amount of time due to an MCL injury.

In the play-in game between the Miami Heat and the Philadelphia 76ers, Butler was injured in the first quarter. The former star of the 76ers attempted a layup but fell hard and was seen to be in a lot of agony.

When is the MRI scan?

To figure out the full extent of his injury, Butler is expected to have an MRI on Thursday. The cause of the injury is unknown, but it could very well keep him out of action forever. If that happens, he won’t be able to participate in Friday’s win-or-go-home game against the Chicago Bulls, nor, if Miami makes it to the postseason, any of the games.

He played the full game despite falling, ending with 40 minutes and 19 points in the loss. Heat coach Erik Spoelstra stated that Butler’s knee “started to limit him a little more” as the game went on.

When he is on the floor, Butler is a dedicated team player who plays with all of his heart. But, it’s possible that playing for over 30 minutes while injured worsened the ailment, which might mean a longer recovery time.

Narrow loss for the Heat against the 76ers

Butler who is averaging 20.8 points, 5.3 rebounds, and five assists per game this season, was nowhere near his best after the injury. He struggled with efficiency and shot just 5-of-18 from the field Wednesday. 

His teammates provided support but that wasn’t enough as the Heat suffered a one-point loss against the 76ers. Tyler Herro led the Heat with 25 points and nine assists in the loss, and rookie Jaime Jaquez Jr. added 15 points off the bench.

KL Rahul’s Best Performances In The IPL

  • 132 not out vs Royal Challengers Bengaluru Lightning– I had struck at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 24, 2020, when KL Rahul smashed his IPL-best score of 132 (not out) against Royal Challengers Bengaluru. The Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings) skipper remained unbeaten as he attained this impressive figure in a mere 69 balls. His stellar performance included 14 boundaries and seven sixes. Rahul’s knock spearheaded Punjab to a 97-run victory over RCB.
  • 103 not out vs Mumbai Indians– Rahul was at his best against Mumbai Indians on April 16, 2022. Playing at the Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai, the Karnataka-born batter guided Lucknow to an 18-run victory against the five-time IPL champions. The ace batter remained not out while adding 103 runs to his team’s tally facing just 60 balls. His innings included nine boundaries and five sixes.
  • 103 not out vs Mumbai Indians– Just eight days later after his first century of IPL 2022, KL Rahul added his second ton of the season against Mumbai Indians. After losing his fellow opener Quinton de Kock, Rahul took up the responsibility to anchor his team’s innings. The ace Indian batter smashed an unbeaten 103 runs in 62 balls. His knock included 12 boundaries and four sixes. His heroics helped LSG reach 168/6, eventually, winning the game by 36 runs.
  • 100 not out vs Mumbai Indians– KL Rahul’s first century against the Mumbai Indians came in 2019 when he put up an absolute show at the Wankhede Stadium. Representing Kings XI Punjab (now Punjab Kings), Rahul scored 100 runs off 64 balls while remaining unbeaten against the then Rohit Sharma-led side. He hit six boundaries and as many sixes in the match to help Punjab reach a total of 197. Rahul’s knock, however, did not prove to be enough as Mumbai Indians secured a three-wicket victory in that fixture.

A judge dismissed Drake’s name from the lawsuit.

Pop sensation Aubrey “Drake” Graham has been removed from the lawsuit alleging that the 2021 Astroworld festival was named after an event that claimed ten lives. The judge, Kristen Hawkins, turned down the dismissal requests of Apple Inc. and Travis Scott.

The families of the 10 dead people and the badly injured attendees are seeking litigation against Drake, Scott, and Live Nation, the festival’s promoter, among others.

In response, Drake, Scott, and other defendants filed motions to dismiss the claims against them.

Why Drake’s name was dismissed

The ruling by Judge Hawkins to have Drake dismissed from the case following arguments by his lawyers in a Houston court on April 1st. They asserted that, unlike other promoters, Drake did not hold any administrative control over the concert proceedings. So, he should not be responsible for the fatal and other unfortunate events that took the lives of 10 people and injured others.

In a deposition given to the jury in November in the Toronto court, Drake recalled that he was not aware of the seriousness of the incident that was happening before mounting the stage. He said the crowd was a blur, and he wasn’t able to fathom any details.

After hearing Drake’s deposition tape, Judges found out the hip-hop icon played no coy in the tragedy, as the lawsuit is pointed towards only the person in authority. ‘One Dance’ singer was just a ‘guest’.

When he was watching a video captured by a 9-year-old victim Ezra Blount, he could feel the fear in the festive atmosphere.

“I think I would want answers for what happened, yes,” after seeing all Drake expressed.

Last Monday, Hawkins excused seven firms and individuals included in the damage suit. On the other side, she rejected motions to dismiss filed by many other individuals and corporations, including at least a dozen cases involving the singer’s representatives, Apple corporation, which sold a live stream of the concert, as well as two companies belonging to Hurricane’s producers.

Judge Hawkins is poised to hear motions of dismissal on Monday, another case relating to Scott as an individual.

Houston’s law enforcement conducted an investigation, leading to no offenses brought against Scott. The Grand jury’s report came up blank on all charges of being involved in the Alecia side concert even though the concert went rife with deaths.
