    A peek at every iPhone 17.

    We’ve seen several leaks of the iPhone 17 lineup already, but these new images shared on Weibo show them all together side-by-side in various color options. Will the blue versions of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air, and those orange iPhone 17 Pro models, actually be that vivid? We should find out at the launch event later today.

    Maybe Apple has remembered that colors can be saturated.

    Live Photos are coming to WhatsApp.

    Wabetainfo says the WhatsApp for iOS beta 25.24.10.72 update adds support for Live Photos in chats, groups, and channels, after rolling out similar support for motion photos on Android last month. Users can decide whether to send them as a still image or the original dynamic clip.

    Three screenshots showing the Live Photo support rolling out in the WhatsApp beta for iOS  version 25.24.10.72.
    The Live Photo support is available to some beta testers, and will be rolling out to more users “in the coming weeks,” according to Wabetainfo.

    This Navee E-scooter is very Trump-coded.

    The customized XT5 Ultra model on display at IFA isn’t solid gold, but a PR rep told me that the company wanted to showcase designs like this because they “have appeal in the US market.”

    Hard to argue with that.
