Apple intends to equip the upcoming iPhone Air 2 with a second 48-megapixel camera featuring ultrawide capabilities, addressing the spatial constraints that prevented dual sensors in the original model. The California-based manufacturer will continue relying on digital cropping technology rather than incorporating dedicated telephoto hardware, according to reports from South Korean technology publications.
The device will utilize the same computational photography approach found in its predecessor, cropping the central 12-megapixel portion of the main sensor to simulate optical magnification at one-times or two-times zoom levels without quality degradation. Physical space limitations prevent the installation of prism-based telephoto...
Samsung plans to unveil its Galaxy S26 smartphone lineup at a February 25, 2026, event in San Francisco, marking the company's return to that city after three years. Tipster Ice Universe suggests the base S26 model will measure 6.9 millimeters in thickness compared with 7.2 millimeters for the current S25, representing approximately a 4 percent reduction that could affect battery size given the existing 4,000 milliampere-hour capacity. Design changes include a vertical camera arrangement departing from the past three generations' flat rear surfaces.
The South Korean manufacturer aims to sell 35 million S26 units overall, with 24 million targeted during the first half of 2026 versus 22 million S25 devices sold in the equivalent 2025...
Zimbabwe conducted its presidential and parliamentary elections on Wednesday, August 23, 2023, with balloting continuing an extra day in certain locations because of logistical challenges.

A member of the ruling party who legally contested President Emmerson Mnangagwa's authority within the organization has abandoned hope that investigators will identify perpetrators who firebombed his residence in October 2022. Sybeth Musengezi reported that law enforcement officials declined to pursue individuals he named as suspects, stating they required authorization from party headquarters before examining individuals holding prominent positions. His case remains unresolved after nearly a year of referrals between different police units.
The attack destroyed thousands of dollars in property and occurred while Musengezi pursued court action to prevent a party congress. Similar incidents recently targeted researcher Ibbo Mandaza's...

Zimbabwe's Masvingo district registry has exhausted its supply of BD1 forms needed to process initial birth registrations, leaving residents unable to obtain documentation required for accessing education and healthcare services. The shortage affects multiple provincial offices and follows the recent depletion of receipt books that halted operations at the same facility weeks earlier, according to department personnel who confirmed the Renco Mine branch continues operating without proper bookkeeping materials.
Ambassador Raphael Faranisi, permanent secretary for home affairs, attributed the disruptions to budget constraints stemming from government spending reductions. He indicated that treasury funding requests have been submitted to...
South African authorities detained Zimbabwean opposition politician Job Sikhala in Pretoria after officers allegedly discovered explosive materials during a vehicle search.

Social media images show Sikhala restrained beside an unidentified elderly companion, with separate photographs depicting suspected explosives contained in yellow packaging.
The detention follows warnings issued four days earlier by ZANU PF Information Director Farai Marapira, who accused...
TSMC's three-nanometer chip manufacturing reached 23 percent of quarterly revenue during the third period of 2025, exceeding the five-nanometer technology's previous peak as the fabrication giant's dominant production node. Monthly wafer output climbed from 100,000 units at the close of last year to between 100,000 and 110,000 currently, with projections indicating 160,000 by year-end, according to Commercial Times analysis.
NVIDIA has emerged as the principal growth driver by adding 35,000 wafers monthly, rather than Apple, which previously dominated orders through increased iPhone 17 volumes that generated 24 percent of 2024 revenue. The graphics processor manufacturer's upcoming Vera Rubin and Rubin Ultra chips will employ the N3P...
