Swift is no longer just for Apple.

For years, iPhone apps meant Swift, Android apps meant Kotlin or Java. Two separate worlds, two different languages. Developers often wished these worlds could meet.

Now, Swift officially supports Android with a new SDK. That means iOS developers can reuse core logic — networking, algorithms, data models — on Android without rewriting it in Kotlin or Java. Android teams can collaborate with Swift-written modules while keeping their native UI in Compose or views. Swift can also interoperate with Java and Kotlin through the new bridge.

The result? Faster development, fewer errors, and smoother cross-platform collaboration. It’s still in preview, but Swift stepping beyond Apple’s walls could change how apps are built, bringing the Apple and Android worlds closer than ever.

Putting a teleconverter in your phone: Find X9 Ultra's 10× optical zoom telephoto lens breaks the impossible.

A truly capable 10× lens has always been a long-standing goal for phone manufacturers. It represents the peak of telephoto capability and is essential for a complete mobile imaging system. For years, the industry struggled to integrate a high-quality 10× lens into phones. When a component could not be built in, it had to be added externally, which led to telephoto converters. These offered a glimpse of 10× potential but were always a compromise, showing what 10× could achieve while highlighting the absence of a true, integrated high-quality 10× lens.

The OPPO Find X9 Ultra integrates the high-quality 10× lens, previously only possible externally, directly into the phone. The 10× zoom is not simply about reaching further or the novelty of magnification. It is about authentically reproducing distant scenes. When you photograph a faraway subject, you capture real details, colors, and expressions from that moment.

Most flagship phones today offer optical zoom at 4× or 5×. A native 10× zoom is still rare. The challenge is simple physics: a 10× reach needs a longer lens, and fitting a large sensor with a 10× lens without making the phone too thick is extremely difficult. The Find X9 Ultra introduces the Hasselblad 50MP 10× Optical Telephoto Lens, the world’s first 10× optical zoom with 50MP clarity, bringing the clarity of a large sensor together with a powerful teleconverter inside a slim smartphone body.

To put a true 10× optical zoom into a slim phone, OPPO developed the industry-first Quintuple Prism Reflection Periscope. Light enters and reflects five times. This allows a 10× zoom while reducing the overall optical length by 30%. The prism itself is made of three precision pieces separated by a nanometer-scale diaphragm and a specialized air capsule.

The Find X9 Ultra’s 10× telephoto camera features several innovations:

☑ Pristine Optical Path Architecture – The prism cutting and nanometer-scale air diaphragm reduce stray light by 99.999%, ensuring exceptionally pure light reaches the sensor.
☑ Sensor Shift – Traditional periscope stabilization cannot work with five reflections. Sensor Shift optical stabilization provides an industry-leading stabilization range, keeping your viewfinder remarkably steady even when shooting at 10× or 20× zoom. This allows for sharp and clear images at high magnification, solving the problem of hand shake amplification that normally occurs at long focal lengths.
☑ Triple Active Optical Alignment (AOA) – Dynamically adjusts the lens, sensor, and prism during assembly for the sharpest optical output in every unit.

The customized JNL 50MP sensor, a next-gen version of the JN5, has the same next-generation lossless zoom technology as HPE. Using this sensor, 20× zoom shots can be achieved with optical-quality results through cropping. For the 10× telephoto, the microlenses and color filters are optimized to reduce color shading and ensure accurate and consistent colors. Combined with the LUMO superpixel engine, this enables full-pixel Hasselblad ultra-high-definition output with high dynamic range.

This lens makes the Find X9 Ultra ideal for concerts, wildlife photography, or any distant subjects. It allows capturing performers’ facial expressions or birds in natural detail, even from far away. The Find X9 Ultra achieves what was once considered impossible: native 10× optical zoom, 20× optical quality zoom, and a slim, high-quality body.

New leak about the Find X9 Ultra camera setup 👀

The 50MP 10× periscope super telephoto lens comes with an F3.5 aperture, allowing roughly 3× more light intake compared to the Samsung S23 Ultra. It’s also the only native 10× optical zoom in the industry — basically like having a built-in teleconverter, so no extra accessories are needed while keeping things compact.

The 3× zoom is also the industry's highest light-gathering 200MP (OV52A) periscope lens.

Camera details:
☑ 10× → 1/2.76" 50MP, F3.5
☑ 3× → 1/1.28" 200MP, F2.2

The 230mm (10×) focal length is pretty much at its limit for achieving an F3.5 aperture.

AI Images Of A Caterpillar Pickup Went Viral — So The Company Built One

In late 2024, AI-generated images of a Caterpillar pickup truck started spreading across the internet. The concept wasn’t real, but it grabbed a lot of attention — including from Caterpillar itself.

The company, best known for its yellow construction and mining machines, said it also received thousands of messages from customers and contractors asking what a Cat-branded truck would actually look like.

So Caterpillar decided to answer that question.

At CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2026, the company revealed the Cat Truck — a custom pickup built on a Ford Super Duty. The project was created to bring the viral AI concept into the real world and show what a Caterpillar-style truck for job sites might look like.

Despite the hype, it’s not a new production model. Caterpillar says the truck is currently just a one-off concept — essentially a real-life version of an idea that started with AI.

X is testing a standalone messaging app — X Chat

X has begun testing a separate X Chat app for iOS — a dedicated messenger similar to WhatsApp or Signal, built around X’s private messaging system.

The first beta launched through Apple’s TestFlight and filled up within two hours. Initially limited to 1,000 testers, the program is already expanding to 5,000 users.

X Chat is essentially an upgraded version of X’s direct messages, which the company says are end-to-end encrypted. However, some security experts have previously questioned how secure the system actually is.

Early testers say the app feels simpler and smoother than messaging inside the main X app. Some features — including message requests, verified badges, and calling — are still being developed.

An Android version is expected very soon.

Norway’s solid-state hydrogen storage could store summer solar energy for winter use

The technology converts renewable electricity into hydrogen for long-term seasonal storage.

Norwegian startup Photoncycle has raised $17.5M to develop a seasonal energy storage system that could allow homes to store excess solar energy from summer and use it in winter.

The system converts renewable electricity into hydrogen and stores it in solid-state form at the household level, tackling one of the biggest challenges for renewables — long-duration seasonal storage. The company plans to roll it out commercially in Denmark and the Netherlands.

The funding will support the first phase of an industrial plant expected to go live in 2027, with capacity to provide seasonal storage for about 140,000 homes.

Photoncycle says the technology could reduce reliance on imported fossil fuels and help households become more energy independent.

Flying taxis might finally lift off as early as 2026 — but we’re not quite there yet.

After years of hype, companies are pushing hard to launch air taxi services, with early routes planned in Dubai 🌆. On paper, these electric aircraft promise quieter, cleaner and more efficient travel than helicopters, and could one day make urban flights more accessible.

But reality is catching up. Safety concerns, strict certification requirements, and the sheer complexity of building a whole new transport network are slowing things down. Most companies still need thousands of test hours, and experts say full-scale operations are likely years away — closer to the next decade.

Even if the tech works, the economics are uncertain. High production costs, battery wear, and infrastructure challenges mean flying taxis could remain a luxury for quite some time.

For now, cargo and medical uses may arrive first — while the dream of everyday air taxis is still waiting for clearance.

Uber is going all in on robotaxis — and teaming up with Nvidia to make it happen 🚗🤖

Starting in 2027, Uber and Nvidia will roll out fully autonomous (Level 4) robotaxis in Los Angeles and San Francisco, with plans to expand to 28 cities globally by 2028. The cars will run on Nvidia’s AI, designed to handle complex, real-world driving situations.

The launch will happen in phases — data collection → supervised rides → fully driverless fleets.

At the same time, Uber is leaning into partnerships instead of building its own tech, investing up to $1.25B in Rivian to secure thousands of electric robotaxis, including 10,000 vehicles planned for the Uber app by 2028.

The long-term vision is a global network mixing human drivers and robotaxis, with tens of thousands of autonomous vehicles across major cities. Competition is heating up (Waymo, Tesla), and Uber is betting it can become the platform connecting it all.

314 trillion digits of π… on a single machine 🤯

A team from StorageReview just set a new world record, calculating π to 314 trillion decimal places in a nonstop 110-day run — perfectly timed for Pi Day (3/14).

What’s wild? They didn’t use a massive cloud setup. Just one Dell PowerEdge server running 24/7 for nearly four months with zero downtime.

In reality, science doesn’t even need that many digits — NASA says ~37 is enough to measure the observable universe accurately. So why push further?

Because it’s not really about π. These runs are extreme stress tests for modern hardware — pushing processors, memory, and storage to their limits, exposing weaknesses and improving systems used in AI, simulations, and big data.

The machine handled insane data flow (~280 GB/s) and still beat previous 300T records with less power and complexity.

There’s still no finish line — π never ends, and neither does the race 🚀

A new smartwatch called O-Boy could become a lifesaver for people traveling in the world’s most remote places.

Designed by the Brussels-based studio Futurewave, the watch can send distress signals directly to satellites, meaning it works even where there’s no phone network — from mountains to open water.

The device acts as a standalone transmitter, giving users a way to call for help far beyond the reach of traditional mobile coverage. Futurewave says the goal was simple: build a smartwatch that can send an emergency alert “even in the most remote corners of the world.”

To make this possible, engineers integrated satellite hardware and antennas into a compact wearable. The rugged design is water-resistant, impact-protected and pressure-tolerant, while rounded surfaces keep it comfortable for everyday wear.

With its black-and-red emergency color scheme and satellite connectivity, O-Boy aims to improve safety for explorers, remote workers and adventurers far from civilization.

Meta just bought a social network… but not for humans 🤖

The company has acquired Moltbook, a Reddit-style platform where every account is an AI agent. The site recently went viral as people watched AI bots debate, share ideas, write code, and even gossip about their human creators.

Launched in late January as an experiment, Moltbook quickly spread across social media through screenshots of conversations between AI agents. Some found it entertaining, while others saw it as an early glimpse of a future where AI systems run in their own digital ecosystems.

Moltbook founders Matt Schlicht and Ben Parr will join Meta Superintelligence Labs, the company’s AI unit led by former Scale AI CEO Alexandr Wang. Meta did not disclose the financial terms.

The platform runs on OpenClaw, a framework designed to make it easier to deploy autonomous AI agents that can interact with software, messaging apps, and even other agents.

Your voice might be giving away more than you think.

A Nov. 19, 2025 study in Proceedings of the IEEE warns AI can extract far more from speech than just the words we say. Beyond emotion or fatigue, computers can analyze tone, cadence and word choice to infer education level, finances, political views — even possible health conditions.

The research, led by Tom Bäckström of Aalto University, highlights serious privacy risks. If a corporation can sense your economic situation from your voice, it could open the door to price discrimination, like higher insurance premiums. If emotional vulnerability or personal traits are detectable, it may enable profiling, harassment or stalking.

The technology isn’t fully in use yet, but the building blocks already exist. From voicemails to recorded customer service calls, our voices are stored everywhere. Speech tech has real promise — but the question is what it learns about us, and who ultimately controls that information.
