Crafted specifically for the Mac, every touch interaction feels incredibly responsive and refined. Everyday tasks are simple and intuitive, allowing users to scroll through a webpage with a natural swipe; pinch to zoom in on a photo; drag and drop slides from one presentation to another; and double-tap a window to fill the screen, or flick to tile it into place. And the touch sensor is built directly into the display panel — not layered on top of it — reducing latency so users feel like they’re touching the content itself.Touch also introduces entirely new ways of working for pro users. Graphic designers can now use the entire display as their canvas, no longer constrained by the area of the trackpad when drawing; musicians can play software instruments right onscreen; and app developers can test how Touch performs in their iOS and iPadOS apps directly on the MacBook Pro display. And these new ways to interact with MacBook Pro work in tandem with the keyboard shortcuts and trackpad gestures pros know and love. In addition, a newly designed hinge provides greater stability while using Touch, and advanced video stabilization automatically smooths the camera feed in real time while using Touch on a video call.Apple apps are optimized for the new MacBook Pro, and many existing apps work with Touch right away, because macOS automatically translates touches into clicks. Updated system gesture APIs also enable developers to create intuitive experiences designed specifically for Touch. And a wide range of third-party apps that pros rely on every day will also take advantage of Touch on the new MacBook Pro, bringing new ways to interact with their favourite tools and workflows. These include everyday productivity and collaboration apps like Notion, Canva, Zoom, Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, and Outlook; powerful creative tools for photo and video editing like Adobe Lightroom and DaVinci Resolve; 3D modelling and animation apps like Blender, Maxon Cinema 4D, Maxon ZBrush, and Shapr3D; along with music apps like Algoriddim djay Pro.4 Say Hello to the Dynamic Island on MacThe Dynamic Island comes to the Mac, serving as the new home for Spotlight, Live Activities, and Siri AI, where users can quickly search for anything on their MacBook Pro, access real-time updates, or take advantage of Siri AI.1 Just like on iPhone, the Dynamic Island provides a quick, intuitive way to see and interact with important information. Users can ask a question, pick up a phone call, or control music — all within easy reach. With Live Activities, users can now get timely updates at a glance, and can accept an AirDrop request or pause a song with a tap of their finger.<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/09/apple-unveils-apple-watch-ultra-4.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="Apple launches MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch Capabilities" border="0" src="https://www.apple.com/newsroom/images/2026/10/apple-unveils-groundbreaking-macbook-pro-with-proled-xdr-display/article/Apple-MacBook-Pro-with-PROLED-XDR-Display-family-lineup-261028_big.jpg.large_2x.jpg" title="Apple launches MacBook Pro with PROLED XDR Display and Touch Capabilities" width="599" /></a>A Thinner and Much Lighter New DesignThe new MacBook Pro is thinner and significantly lighter for even better portability. The 14-inch MacBook Pro now weighs half a pound less at 3 pounds, while the 16-inch MacBook Pro weighs just 4 pounds — 0.7 pounds lighter than before.5 Both models feature a slimmer design enabled by OLED’s more efficient display stack, with the 16-inch model nearly a millimeter thinner and the 14-inch model half a millimeter thinner.With slimmer display borders, the 16-inch display grows to 16.3 inches, while the 14-inch display delivers a more portable 14.2-inch design.6 And a completely redesigned thermal architecture enables the same incredible sustained performance of M5 Pro and M5 Max, even in a lighter design, while redirecting warm air away from the display. M5 Pro and M5 Max: Game‑Changing Pro Performance and On-Device AIThe new MacBook Pro features M5 Pro and M5 Max, Apple’s most powerful chips ever built for a pro laptop. Both deliver phenomenal single- and multithreaded CPU performance, along with faster unified memory, giving users blazing speed for the most demanding workflows. M5 Pro offers game-changing performance for scientists, engineers, software developers, and creative pros tackling intensive projects, accelerating everything from compiling code and running AI tasks to sequencing DNA and editing multiple streams of 8K ProRes video. M5 Max is built for users who want to push the limits even further, including 3D VFX artists, AI developers, and film composers. With M5 Max, pros can run LLMs with hundreds of billions of parameters entirely on device and accelerate intense workflows across detailed visual effects, 3D animation projects, film scores, and 8K video post-production.A powerful Neural Accelerator built into each GPU core lets users speed through AI workloads like running a coding agent with an on-device LLM. And users are able to power through advanced graphics-intensive tasks like rendering a complex scene in Cinema 4D with Redshift.

HONOR Robot Phone selected as TIME’s The Best Inventions of 2026

<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/08/honor-robot-phone-specs-features-pricing.html" target="_blank">HONOR Robot Phone</a> has been selected as one of TIME’s The Best Inventions of 2026, recognizing the device for its innovative approach to smartphone design, AI interaction and mobile photography.Featured alongside other notable innovations, including iPhone Duo, the HONOR Robot Phone brings a new dimension to smartphone photography by combining a robotics-inspired camera system with AI-powered interaction. Rather than keeping the camera fixed in place, the device features a 360-degree rotating gimbal that can move from the rear of the phone and follow subjects as they move, opening up new possibilities for capturing photos and videos.<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2025/10/honor-launches-flagship-magic8-series.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="HONOR Magic8 Pro" border="0" src="https://pbs.twimg.com/media/G3cMM_VXAAEqsEI?format=jpg&name=large" title="HONOR Magic8 Pro" width="599" /></a>The concept is designed to make the camera feel more responsive and engaged with its surroundings. Through AI, the Robot Phone can track and interact with subjects, including the user when shooting in selfie mode, allowing the camera to move with the action rather than relying on a fixed perspective. This creates a more dynamic way to capture moments, particularly for moving subjects, group shots and creative video content.TIME described the device: “The newest gadget from China’s Honor Device Co. gives your cell phone a more engaged camera. The Honor Robot Phone includes a 360-degree rotating gimbal that, upon activation, swivels the camera out from the back of the phone, where AI software helps it track and interact with subjects—or you, in selfie mode—as they move.”The publication also highlighted the engineering challenge behind the <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/07/honor-arri-cinematic-workflow-imaging-technology-launch.html" target="_blank">device’s moving camera system</a>. “Getting the gimbal right was tricky, says Thomas Bai, an AI product expert at Honor: ‘we self-developed a micromotor and packed in 100-plus new components.’ When not in use, the gimbal folds itself back flush with the camera panel,” TIME reported.<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/03/honor-robot-phone-magic-v6-magicpad-4-magicbook-pro-14.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="HONOR unveils Robot Phone, Magic V6, MagicPad 4, MagicBook Pro 14, and Humanoid Robot at MWC 2026" border="0" src="https://www-file.honor.com/content/dam/honor/global/news/2026/honor-mwc2026-launch/news-2.jpg" title="HONOR unveils Robot Phone, Magic V6, MagicPad 4, MagicBook Pro 14, and Humanoid Robot at MWC 2026" width="599" /></a>The Robot Phone reflects a broader shift in smartphone design, where AI is increasingly being integrated not only into software and image processing, but also into the physical way a device interacts with users. By introducing movement into the camera experience, the device explores how robotics and AI can work together to create a more intuitive and expressive approach to mobile photography.The recognition by TIME places the HONOR Robot Phone among the publication’s selection of notable inventions shaping technology and consumer experiences in 2026, highlighting its distinctive combination of design, AI and camera innovation.

OPPO today announced the global launch of its latest flagship smartphones, Find X10 and <a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/10/oppo-find-x10-series-global-launch.html" target="_blank">Find X10 Pro Max</a>. Built to be a "Hasselblad True-to-Life Camera," Find X10 Series brings major advances in camera hardware and computational photography to deliver a more true-to-life imaging experience. Beyond imaging, the series introduces refined designs, upgraded displays, larger batteries, flagship performance and the new ColorOS 17. Industry-First Triple 200MP Camera SystemFind X10 Series introduces a new-generation camera system co-developed with Hasselblad. Find X10 features a Dual 200MP Camera System, while Find X10 Pro Max pushes further with a Triple 200MP Camera System, bringing 200MP resolution across all three rear cameras.On Find X10 Pro Max, the Hasselblad 200MP Ultra-Wide Camera features a large 1/1.56-inch sensor that captures twice as much light as the previous generation, paired with a 124° ultra-wide autofocus lens. The Hasselblad 200MP Ultra HDR Main Camera uses the new 1/1.28-inch ISOCELL HPC sensor, jointly developed by OPPO and Samsung and featuring DeepPix technology for breakthrough HDR performance. Completing the system, the Hasselblad 200MP Telephoto Camera combines an ultra-fast f/2.1 aperture with a 10cm minimum focusing distance, enabling cleaner low-light telephoto shots while also doubling as a telemacro camera.<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/04/oppo-photography-awards-2026.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="OPPO Find X10 Pro Max" border="0" src="https://www.oppo.com/content/dam/oppo_com/en/mkt/newsroom/press/2026/10/oppo-find-x10-series-global-launch/01.webp" title="OPPO Find X10 Pro Max" width="599" /></a>Making this high-resolution hardware more practical for everyday use, Find X10 Series introduces industry-first 26MP default capture from ultra-wide through 9.9x. This delivers substantially more detail than conventional 12MP capture while keeping file sizes manageable. For maximum resolution, users can switch to Hasselblad Hi-Res Mode to capture 50MP or 200MP images on supported cameras.To reach even further, the OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter extends the capabilities of the 200MP telephoto camera on both Find X10 and Find X10 Pro Max. With 3.28x optical magnification, it opens up new possibilities for capturing distant subjects, from concerts and cityscapes to wildlife. LUMO True Image Engine: True-to-Life ImagingBuilding on its breakthrough camera hardware, Find X10 Series debuts OPPO's next-generation computational photography solution, LUMO True Image Engine. By combining OPPO's latest imaging expertise with a more natural approach to image processing, LUMO True Image Engine is designed to preserve true-to-life color, tone and detail, helping photos stay faithful to the original scene.Accurately reproducing color can be especially challenging under complex or mixed lighting. Find X10 Series features a New-Generation True Color Camera to capture richer multispectral color information from the surrounding environment. With this additional data, LUMO True Image Engine can reproduce colors more accurately across different lighting conditions, from subtle landscape tones to natural-looking skin tones.<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/04/oppo-photography-awards-2026.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="OPPO Find X10 Pro Max" border="0" src="https://www.oppo.com/content/dam/oppo_com/en/mkt/newsroom/press/2026/10/oppo-find-x10-series-global-launch/02.webp" title="OPPO Find X10 Pro Max" width="599" /></a>For tonal rendering, LUMO True Image Engine brings the distinctive tonal approach of Hasselblad Master Mode into the default Photo mode. Rather than aggressively brightening every part of an image, it preserves the natural relationship between light and shadow, helping retain depth and atmosphere in challenging scenes such as backlit portraits.LUMO True Image Engine also takes a more restrained approach to detail processing. By reducing excessive sharpening, noise reduction and AI-generated detail, it preserves more of the genuine texture and optical detail captured by the camera.Combining LUMO True Image Engine with the 200MP camera system, which captures richer optical information at the source, Find X10 Series delivers images that stay true not only to the scene itself, but to the richness of the moment as it was experienced. Professional Video Across Every Focal LengthFind X10 Series brings major upgrades to video. Find X10 supports 4K 60fps recording across all rear cameras, with its 200MP main and telephoto cameras additionally supporting 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps. Find X10 Pro Max takes this further, with all three 200MP rear cameras supporting 4K 60fps, 4K 120fps and 8K 30fps, delivering consistently high-quality video across focal lengths.On Find X10 Pro Max, DeepPix technology on the 200MP main camera enables up to 17 stops of dynamic range, preserving more information across highlights and shadows in demanding scenes. Whether shooting a backlit portrait, illuminated signs in a city nightscape or fireworks against a dark sky, creators can retain more detail across both the brightest and darkest parts of the frame.<a href="http://www.shaanhaider.com/2026/04/oppo-photography-awards-2026.html" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img alt="OPPO Find X10 Pro Max" border="0" src="https://www.oppo.com/content/dam/oppo_com/en/mkt/newsroom/press/2026/10/oppo-find-x10-series-global-launch/04.webp" title="OPPO Find X10 Pro Max" width="599" /></a>For more advanced production workflows, Find X10 Series supports Dolby Vision, ACES-certified O-Log2 and, for the first time on an OPPO smartphone, Open Gate Capture. Open Gate uses the full imaging area of the sensor to capture more of the original frame, giving creators greater flexibility to crop and reframe the same footage for different aspect ratios during post-production.OPPO has also worked closely with Blackmagic Design to bring key Find X10 Series capabilities directly into Blackmagic Camera, including Dolby Vision, O-Log2 and Open Gate Capture, giving creators greater flexibility within a familiar professional shooting workflow.For Find X10 Pro Max, the dedicated Tilta Khronos Creator Kit further extends its capabilities for professional shooting. The kit includes an additional handle, a 67mm filter adapter, an adapter for the OPPO Hasselblad Teleconverter, and an active cooling fan to help manage device temperature during extended video recording. Together, these accessories better equip creators for longer and more demanding shoots.OPPO has also worked closely with Meta to optimize the video-sharing experience on Instagram. With Find X10 Series, users can now enjoy near-lossless video quality from capture to share, helping preserve the detail, color and overall look of the original footage when shared on Instagram. Refined Design with BT.2020 DisplaysFind X10 Series carries forward the Find X Series' clean and sophisticated design language. Its all-new Borderless Design features One-Piece Sculpted Glass that flows seamlessly into the camera module, softening the visual impact of the camera bump for a clean, cohesive look.Find X10 will be available in Glacier Blue, Glow Coral and Mist Grey, with Find X10 Pro Max offered in Titanium Grey and Luna White.
