A one-minute teaser dropped on 8 September 2026 has put OpenAI's messiest week back in the headlines nearly three years after it happened. Neon released the first trailer for Artificial, Luca Guadagnino's dramatisation of the five days in November 2023 when Sam Altman was abruptly fired as OpenAI's chief executive and then reinstated, with Andrew Garfield playing the tech executive.

Apple wants roughly Rs 2.5 lakh for a phone it will sell at $2,000 in the US. Convert the dollar price and the figure is Rs 1.90 lakh. The missing Rs 60,000 buys nothing extra.

For months, Apple’s long-gestating foldable was discussed as an iPhone Fold and, more provocatively, as an iPhone Ultra; Gadgets Now also reported that Apple staff had been using the Ultra name internally. The latest pre-event reporting instead points to iPhone Duo. If that survives Apple’s 9 September event, it would fit a device whose engineering priorities appear different from those of a conventional halo phone.
