The Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra is set to feature practical upgrades including a switch to aluminum for better heat management, a redesigned camera system with a raised camera island, improved outdoor visibility and privacy features on the display, and a refined aesthetic inspired by the Z Fold 7, along with expanded color options and confirmed accessory compatibility, emphasizing user-centric innovation for 2024.
Images of a purported battery for the iPhone 16 Pro have leaked online, revealing a redesigned component with a slightly larger capacity and a transition from a black foil casing to a frosted metal shell. The change in design is expected to improve thermal efficiency without significantly impacting the battery's weight. This leak aligns with previous rumors of Apple introducing a new thermal system in the iPhone 16 lineup to address overheating issues. The entire iPhone 16 lineup is also rumored to feature a graphene heat-sink for improved heat dissipation.
Some owners of the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max have reported overheating issues, which prominent analyst Ming-Chi Kuo attributes to design compromises such as the use of a titanium frame that negatively impacts thermal efficiency. Kuo suggests that Apple will address the issue through software updates, but warns that chip performance may be affected if the problem is not properly resolved. Apple has yet to publicly acknowledge the issue.
The Hachi Cabin, located in southern Chile, is a single large space designed to preserve the existing trees and make the most of light and heat. The cabin has three levels, with level changes used to mark the difference between areas. The project has a rustic appearance with vitrified concrete flooring, white bone-painted plasterboard walls and ceilings, and old bridge structures from the area used for visible wood elements. The exterior is covered with pre-painted black zinc, except for the volume that advances towards the north, which was covered with local stone.
