The IPL 2025 Mega Auction promises to deliver high-stakes action, with marquee players and strategic manoeuvres set to enthral cricket fans. A total of 12 marquee players, including Indian stars like Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul have created a lot of buzz within the cricket fraternity. A total of 574 players have been shortlisted from an initial pool of 1,574 names. These players will go under the hammer from November 24-25 in Jeddah. The list includes 208 overseas players, 12 uncapped overseas talents, and 318 uncapped Indian players, according to Wisden. Here is a look at all the marquee players who will be going under the hammer: Jos Buttler (England) Buttler is one of finest white-ball batters of this generation, with 11,929 runs, eight centuries and 83 fifties to his name in 427 T20s. A T20 World Cup-winning captain for England, Buttler made a name for himself in the IPL during his stint with Rajasthan Royals (RR) from 2018 to 2024. For RR since 2018, Buttler scored 3,055 runs at an average of 41.84 and a strike rate of 147.79, with 7 centuries and 18 fifties. His best score was 124. He is the team's third-highest run-getter of all time. The IPL 2022, in which RR finished as runners-up, was the zenith of Buttler's career, as he ended up on the top of run-scoring charts, with 863 runs in 17 matches at an average of 57.53 and a strike rate of over 149, with four centuries and four fifties. His best score was 116. In the last season, Buttler scored 359 runs in 11 matches at an average of 39.88, with two centuries. Buttler also represented Mumbai Indians (MI) from 2016-17, scoring 527 runs in 24 matches with one half-century. He won the title with them in 2017. Shreyas Iyer (<keyword id="19895063" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="india" source="keywords">India</keyword>) Iyer has played all formats for India, proving his mettle mostly in ODI cricket, where he averages 47 and has scored five centuries and 18 fifties in 57 ODIs. In 51 T20Is for India, Iyer has scored 1,104 runs at an average of 30.66 and a strike rate of over 136, with eight half-centuries and best score of 74*. During his time with Delhi Capitals (2015-21), he earned a reputation as a fierce young leader, taking DC to finals in 2021. After joining Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in 2022, Iyer went one step further and won the franchise its third IPL title, its first in 10 years, this year. Throughout the season, Iyer along with mentor Gautam Gambhir, led the team's aggressive, high-scoring brand of cricket from the front. In his IPL career, Iyer has scored 2,375 runs at an average of 31.67, with a strike rate of 123.96 and 16 half-centuries. His best score is 96. In his last season for KKR, he scored 351 runs in 15 matches at an average of 39.00 and a strike rate of over 146, making two fifties. Rishabh Pant (India) The swashbuckling wicketkeeper-batter is an all-format for India and a livewire on the field. Having proven himself as a man for big stages in Test cricket, Pant's T20 game is just as solid. Though he has scored 1,209 runs in 76 T20Is at an underwhelming average of 23.25, strike rate of almost 128 and just three fifties, his overall T20 numbers are way better, having made 5,022 runs in 202 matches at an average of 31.78, strike rate of over 145, with two centuries and 25 fifties. Pant has represented Delhi Capitals (DC) for his entire IPL career since 2016, scoring 3,284 runs in 110 matches at an average of 35.31, with a century and 18 fifties. He was appointed as the team's captain in 2021 and led them to playoffs in the same season. During this last season, which marked his return from competitive cricket after a serious road accident in 2022-end, Pant scored 446 runs in 13 matches at an average of 40.54 and a strike rate of 155.40, with three fifties and best score of 88*. He was the leading run-scorer for DC. Kagiso Rabada (South Africa) The South African pacer is among the best in the world, having taken 71 wickets in 65 T20Is. He is the part of the SA team which reached the T20 World Cup finals this year and took 13 wickets in nine matches. Rabada has played T20 leagues and competitions worldwide and taken 264 scalps in 211 matches. In the IPL, Rabada has represented Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings, having taken 117 wickets in 80 matches. With PBKS from 2022-2024, he took 41 wickets in 30 matches while with DC from 2017-2021, he took 76 wickets in 50 matches. In 11 matches last season for Punjab Kings, he took 11 wickets at an average of 33.81. Arshdeep Singh (India) A brilliant left-arm pacer for his swing and wicket-taking abilities, Arshdeep has represented India in 59 T20Is and has already taken 92 wickets at an average of 18.47, making him the most successful pacer for India in T20Is and their second-highest wicket-taker of all-time despite debuting only in 2022. The youngster was a crucial part of India's T20 WC winning squad this year and was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the tournament with 17 wickets in eight matches at an average of 12.47. Since 2019, the year of his IPL debut, Arshdeep has represented the Punjab Kings in 65 matches, taking 76 wickets at an average of 27.00 and best figures of 5/32. The season this year was his strongest-ever showing, taking 19 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.58. Mitchell Starc (Australia) A multi-time world champion with Australia across all formats, Starc is considered as one of the deadliest pacers of this era, having taken 681 wickets in 281 matches. In 65 T20Is for Australia, he has taken 79 wickets at an average of 23.81. in 142 T20Is played worldwide, he has taken 193 wickets at an average of 20.59 and best figures of 4/15. After two seasons with Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) from 2014-15, Starc made his IPL return this year as the most expensive player ever, brought by Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) for Rs 24.75 crores. Though he delivered mixed returns during the league stage, the 'Big Match Starc' came into play during playoffs, delivering outstanding spells of 3/34 and 2/14 against <keyword id="19959099" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="sunrisers-hyderabad" source="keywords">Sunrisers Hyderabad</keyword> (SRH) in the Qualifier 1 and final. He ended the season with 17 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 26.12 including a four-wicket haul. So far in his IPL career, Starc has taken 51 wickets in 41 matches. Yuzvendra Chahal (India) The Indian spin veteran is the chart-topping bowler, owning the most wickets by an Indian in T20is and by any bowler in the IPL. In the IPL, Chahal has taken 205 wickets in 160 matches at an average of 22.44, with best figures of 5/40. In 80 T20Is he has taken 96 wickets at an average of 25.09 with best figures of 6/25. Also in all of T20s, he has taken 354 wickets in 305 matches, the most by an Indian bowler. Chahal remains the leading wicket-taker for Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB), even after departing in 2021 following a tenure that began in 2014. In 113 matches for RCB, he took 139 wickets at an average of 22.03, with a best of 4/25. Since joining Rajasthan Royals (RR) in 2022, Chahal has helped the team reach the playoffs twice in three seasons. He is also the leading wicket-taker in IPL history, amassing 205 wickets in 160 matches at an average of 22.44, with a best of 5/44.

During the 2024 season, he took 18 wickets in 15 matches at an average of 30.33. Liam Livingstone (England) A T20 World Cup-winning all-rounder, Liam has scored 877 runs in 53 T20Is at an average of 27.40 and a strike rate of almost 152, with a century and two fifties. With his useful right-arm spin, he has taken 32 wickets at an average of over 23, with best figures of 3/17. He owns the record for fastest T20I ton by an England player, in just 42 balls. The batting all-rounder has played for Rajasthan Royals (RR) and Punjab Kings (PBKS) since his tournament debut in 2019, scoring 939 runs in 39 matches at a strike rate of 162.46 and six fifties. He has also taken 11 wickets. His best has come with Punjab, who signed him for Rs 11.5 crores ahead of the 2022 season, which proved to be his breakthrough, scoring 437 runs in 14 matches with four fifties and a strike rate of 182.08 and getting six wickets in 14 matches. In the last season, Livingstone scored 111 runs in seven matches at an average of 22.20, striking at over 142 and having the best score of 38*. David Miller (South Africa) An elite T20 finisher, Miller is considered as one of the modern white-ball greats for South Africa. In 128 matches for Proteas, he has made 2,473 runs at an average of 32.54, striking at almost 140, with two centuries and seven fifties. In the IPL, Miller is known for his stints with Punjab Kings, Rajasthan Royals and Gujarat Titans. His stint with Punjab from 2012-19 made him a valuable IPL commodity, as he enjoyed his peak years from 2013-15, reaching the finals in 2014. After a few years' of underwhelming performances and being benched, GT placed trust in his finishing abilities and he repaid the faith with a 481-run season in 16 matches with two fifties, playing a crucial role in the team's title win in his debut season. Miller is also known for his fine performances in knockout games. In 41 matches for GT, he has scored 950 runs at an average of 45.24, with three fifties in 38 innings and a strike rate of 145.26. In the last season, he scored 210 runs at an average of 35.00 and a strike rate of over 151, with a half-century. KL Rahul (India) A versatile batter for India across all formats.

He is India's fourth-highest run-getter in T20Is, scoring 2,265 runs in 72 matches at an average of 37.75, striking at almost 140 with two centuries and 22 fifties to his name. In 132 IPL matches since his debut in 2013, KL has played for Sunrisers Hyderabad, Royal Challengers Bengaluru, Punjab Kings and Lucknow Super Giants, even going on to captain the latter two teams. In 132 matches, he has scored 4,683 runs at an average of 45.47 and a strike rate of 134.61, with four centuries and 37 fifties.

His best score was 82 and he ended up as seventh-highest run-getter in the season. Mohammed Shami (India) The Indian pace veteran has represented India in all formats, having taken 448 wickets in 188 matches. His finest hour in an Indian jersey came during the 50-over World Cup at home last year, where he emerged as the leading-wicket-taker with 24 wickets in just seven matches and played a crucial role in India's runners-up finish. In IPL, Shami has played for Delhi Capitals, Punjab Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Gujarat Titans. He has taken 127 wickets in 110 matches at an average of 26.86. Shami was the Purple Cap holder for most wickets in GT's 2023 runners-up season and has taken 48 wickets in 33 matches at an average of 21.04 for the team. This also remains his last IPL season as he missed the previous season due to an ankle injury.

In the last season this year, he took 15 wickets in 14 matches at an average of 33.07, playing a crucial role in the team's inspirational playoffs qualification.

The top 5 robot vacuum cleaners you can buy in India

<keyword id="19936542" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Vivo" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Vivo" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Vivo">Vivo</keyword>'s next flagship product, the <keyword id="22590722" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="Vivo-X200-Pro" source="keywords">Vivo X200 Pro</keyword> is expected to launch in India soon. The phone launched in China earlier this month and since then, rumours around its India launch have been doing rounds. Building on the popularity of last year’s Vivo X100, which launched in India in December, Vivo’s new flagship is likely to follow a similar release schedule. Speculations suggest the Vivo X200 Pro could hit the Indian market as early as November or December. While Vivo remains tight-lipped about the exact launch date, recent certification listings hint at a rollout soon. With its latest model, Vivo appears to be blending its signature camera expertise with updated design and robust performance, making it a contender for photography enthusiasts, power users, and tech-savvy individuals alike. Here’s a closer look at what the X200 Pro has to offer and why it’s attracting significant buzz even before its official India debut. <h2>Vivo X200 Pro expected specs </h2> Looking at the phone that was launched in China, the Vivo X200 Pro takes a different approach from its predecessors, trading the sleek curves and edge-to-edge feel for a flat display with a boxier frame. This change in design caters to those who prefer a more substantial feel in their hands, aligning with trends seen in some premium smartphones that prioritize aesthetics and functionality. The familiar circular rear camera module, a hallmark of the X-series, remains, giving the phone a touch of continuity. While subtle, these design updates offer a refreshed yet recognisable look. Vivo’s reputation as a camera-centric brand is further cemented in the X200 Pro, which boasts an impressive camera setup in collaboration with Zeiss. The triple-lens configuration includes a 50-megapixel LYT-818 main sensor and a 50-megapixel ultra-wide lens for sweeping landscape shots. However, the true showstopper here is the 200-megapixel Zeiss APO telephoto camera, designed to capture minute details and offer striking zoom quality. In the front, the X200 Pro sports a 32-megapixel front camera. With software tweaks and AI enhancements, it promises to provide exceptional results, both in low light and in everyday settings. Vivo’s use of Zeiss optics and processing technology underscores its dedication to high-quality imaging, catering to everyone from casual photographers to content creators. The phone features a 6.78-inch OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. It also comes with a peak brightness of 4500 nits. Under the hood, the X200 Pro runs on MediaTek’s Dimensity 9400 chipset, supported by up to 16GB of RAM and an impressive 1TB of internal storage. The X200 Pro’s 6,000mAh battery promises that the phone has the endurance to last through extended usage, and it supports 90-watt fast charging, providing a quick boost when needed. <h2>When is Vivo’s X200 Pro coming in India? </h2> Although Vivo hasn’t officially confirmed the India launch date, industry experts speculate that it could be unveiled within the next two months. The recent certification sightings on Taiwan’s NCC and Malaysia’s SIRIM sites suggest that Vivo is preparing for a broader release beyond China. Given the growing demand for high-quality smartphones that can double as professional cameras, the X200 Pro is positioned to capture a significant share of India’s premium smartphone market. The expected November-December timeline could align well with holiday season sales, giving Indian consumers a chance to upgrade their devices during a peak shopping period. While official pricing remains unannounced, Vivo’s competitive pricing strategies in the past suggest the X200 Pro could appeal to a wide range of users looking for flagship features without the flagship price tag.

"We want people that are in it for the long term that absolutely understand the vision of Jaguar needing to change. They support the elevated positioning and everything else that goes with that because the level of service and even some of our business markets will be different."As part of that elevated positioning, the newly announced Jags are expected to be significantly more upmarket than the ones that are being phased out, Car and Driver reported, citing a Range Rover from the brand's corporate cousin that costs around $400,000 as where the brand wants to be. (Most 2024 Jaguar models have list prices of around $50,000 to $80,000.)Jaguar Land Rover and its parent company Tata Motors did not immediately respond to a request for comment from Business Insider.

You can't buy a new Jaguar in its home country of the UK until 2026. The brand is going dormant to retool as EV-only.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Dietary supplements aren't FDA-approved like drugs. </li><li>The US' leading supplement expert recommended buying third-party certified products.</li></ul>From <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/colostrum-health-benefits-unclear-experts-say-2024-9">colostrum</a> and <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/creatine-most-effective-fitness-supplement-science-burn-fat-build-muscle-2024-8">creatine</a> to <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ions-mane-mushroom-benefits-mental-health-cognition-2023-12">lion's mane</a>, it feels like every few months there's a buzzy new supplement and debate over whether it works. But another equally important question — the quality and contents of the product you choose — often gets less attention, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/us-top-supplement-expert-takes-3-supplements-busy-2024-9">US' top supplement expert</a> told Business Insider.Dietary supplements aren't FDA-regulated like drugs, and the onus lies on manufacturers to ensure their products are safe and accurately labeled. The FDA can remove a supplement from the market if it discovers it is adulterated or misbranded.As such, dietary supplements aren't uniform, Stefan Pasiakos, the director of the Office of Dietary Supplements at the National Institutes of Health, said. One multivitamin, for example, could contain a few essential vitamins and minerals, while another could feature a huge number of micronutrients mixed with various non-required nutrients, he said.This can lead to quality control issues including <a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/risks-popular-supplements-vitamin-d-magnesium-2024-4">contamination</a> and inaccurate labeling, studies show. For example, one 2023 research letter published in JAMA Network Open that looked at performance-enhancing botanical ingredients found that 89% of the 57 dietary supplements tested didn't accurately list their ingredients, while 12% contained at least one ingredient prohibited by the FDA.A 2020 editorial published in Annals of Pharmacotherapy, meanwhile, highlighted "major quality issues" with dietary supplements, including contamination with microbes or heavy metals, unapproved ingredients, lower than stated doses, and products not containing an ingredient stated on the label.Pasiakos therefore encourages people to do their "homework" before taking a supplement: "All I would say is that people make sure that they become educated on these products, understand what's in them, and know that the industry is not out to get them. But there are certainly aspects of certain dietary supplements that may be considered unsafe."He shared three tips for sourcing good-quality supplements and assessing whether they're right for you.<div type="image" title="A supplement label" height="1414" width="2121" msid="114548607" hostid="261" sizebytes="259144"></div><h2 id="ef40d16a-48fc-4765-803b-e14e51dd2e58">Look for supplements with third-party verification</h2>If you're concerned about what's in a supplement, buy a product that has been verified by a third-party organization, Pasiakos said.There are several trustworthy organizations that rigorously test supplements to ensure that they contain what the label says, and no contaminants, he said. They also help companies ensure they're meeting government guidelines. However, such organizations don't<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/should-i-take-supplements-scientist-benefits-2024-4"> test how effective supplements are </a>or back the company's health claims.Pasiakos highlighted NSF certification and the US Pharmacopeia Verification Program.Usually, if a product has been third-party verified, it will say so on the packaging or company website.<h2 id="add64b05-1130-4e7a-804a-a24c4c2422d2">Ask your healthcare provider for personalized recommendations</h2>Pasiakos recommends speaking to a doctor or healthcare provider before trying a new supplement.They might be able to refer you to a dietitian or pharmacist who is knowledgeable about supplements and can advise you depending on your specific needs, he said. For example, if you're already taking supplements or prescription drugs, they will know about potential interactions.A dietitian will also assess your diet as a whole and give you nutritional recommendations, which is important because supplements should complement, not replace, a healthy diet, he said.<h2 id="d95e9da7-c796-4d02-ae5c-f6a75e60847a">Do research based on reputable sources</h2>If you can't get advice from a medical professional, it's important to get information from a reputable source, Pasiakos said."There's information everywhere. You just type in a given supplement online and you'll get everybody under the sun with an opinion on whether a dietary supplement works or not," Pasiakos said.The ODS has lots of information on its website, including dietary supplement fact sheets, which are up-to-date, evidence-based reviews of the available information, he said. There's a fact sheet for most existing supplement ingredients that explains what it is, how it works, and the evidence for or against claimed health benefits.Pasiakos also pointed to the National Center for Complementary Integrative Health, which is part of the NIH, and the FDA's website as good sources of information on supplements.

Your supplements might not contain what's on the label. The US's leading expert shared 3 tips for buying safe products that are right for you.

The iPhone 16 Pro was also unveiled during the event and the question on everyone's mind is: should you upgrade if you already own the iPhone 15 Pro? Both models are packed with high-end features, but the iPhone 16 Pro brings some notable upgrades, including a larger 6.3-inch display, a powerful A18 Pro chipset, improved battery life, and a new Camera Control button designed for photography enthusiasts. However, with the iPhone 15 Pro still offering excellent performance and AI-powered features, deciding whether to make the jump can be tricky. Let us take a look at the differences and similarities between the two iPhones so that you can decide if an upgrade is necessary. <h2>Apple iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: What is different?</h2>Apple's iPhone 16 Pro, launched with the powerful A18 Pro chip, marks an exciting leap in design and performance over the iPhone 15 Pro. The iPhone 16 Pro has a slightly larger 6.3-inch display, an upgrade from the 6.1-inch screen on the iPhone 15 Pro. Despite this size increase, Apple has managed to keep the device nearly the same size, thanks to slimmer bezels. Design and display: The design changes are subtle but impactful. The iPhone 16 Pro sports a more futuristic look with its bigger screen and reduced bezels, without making the device significantly larger. Both phones retain the same titanium frame, "Ceramic Shield" glass, and four colour options: black, white, natural (gray), and desert (gold). A new feature in the iPhone 16 Pro is the Camera Control button, which functions as a dedicated capacitive shutter button, providing new ways to interact with the camera, including zooming and switching filters with a touch. Camera: One of the standout upgrades in the iPhone 16 Pro is the enhanced camera system. The iPhone 16 Pro introduces a 5X telephoto camera, which appears to be a significant improvement from the 3X telephoto lens on the iPhone 15 Pro. The 16 Pro also upgrades the ultrawide camera to a new 48MP sensor, promising to improve low-light performance and overall image clarity. On the video side, the iPhone 16 Pro introduces 4K120 slow-motion recording, a first for iPhones, enhancing its video-capturing abilities. Performance and battery: Under the hood, the iPhone 16 Pro is powered by the A18 Pro chip, which brings second-generation 3nm technology. This promises to translate into a faster CPU and GPU, improved power efficiency, and enhanced AI capabilities. Battery life also sees a substantial boost on paper, with the iPhone 16 Pro rated for 27 hours of video playback compared to 23 hours on the iPhone 15 Pro. Charging: MagSafe charging is faster on the iPhone 16 Pro, now supporting up to 25W, up from 15W on the iPhone 15 Pro. However, wired charging speeds remain unchanged at 20W. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113203568" title="iPhone 16, iPhone 16 Plus with A18 chipset launched starting at ₹79,900" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> <h2>iPhone 15 Pro vs iPhone 16 Pro: What is the same?</h2>Despite some notable improvements in the iPhone 16 Pro, several key features remain the same between the two models. Both phones share a similar overall design, including the titanium frame and Ceramic Shield glass. The IP68 rating for water and dust resistance remains the same, ensuring both devices are well-protected against the elements. In terms of display, both the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro feature OLED panels with ProMotion technology, supporting a 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,000 nits of peak brightness. This ensures vivid colours and smooth scrolling on both devices, with the only notable difference being the slightly larger screen size on the iPhone 16 Pro. Face ID and the Dynamic Island remain integral parts of the iPhone design, offering a seamless and familiar user experience. The storage options, ranging from 128GB to 1TB, are identical across both models, and neither device includes a charger in the box. A highlight of Apple’s It’s Glowtime event was the Apple Intelligence features. Even though iPhone 16 Pro is the phone that was made for AI from ground-up, the same features are also coming to the iPhone 15 Pro. Hence, both devices will be equipped with AI features. <h2>Should you upgrade?</h2>If you're already using the iPhone 15 Pro, upgrading to the iPhone 16 Pro may feel like adding a couple of perks to your overall experience. The larger screen, upgraded telephoto camera, and improved battery life are nice to have and promise to elevate your experience on paper. Moreover, if you're someone who enjoys having the latest hardware, the A18 Pro chip’s performance gains and the improved camera setup could make the upgrade worthwhile. With that being said, the iPhone 16 Pro is an excellent choice for users who want the best performance, especially for tasks like gaming or content creation, thanks to the faster GPU and AI capabilities. The new Camera Control button also adds functionality that could appeal to photography enthusiasts. Hence, if you have the budget and the desire for the all-new A18 Pro chip, the iPhone 16 Pro is a solid upgrade. The phone is priced at a starting price of Rs 1,19,900 in India.

He's preached patience to Wall Street.But on Wednesday's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meta-connect-live-updates-mark-zuckerberg-keynote-2024-9">Meta Connect 2024 developer conference</a>, the CEO was finally able to unveil what many of those billions had been spent developing: the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/orion-meta-ar-smart-glasses-review-2024-9">Orion AR glasses</a>.Zuckerberg and his CTO, Andrew Bosworth, are clearly excited about the milestone — even if you won't be able to buy the glasses for multiple years. As they see it, it's an important step toward convincing people to buy into the company's vision.In <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://stratechery.com/2024/an-interview-with-meta-cto-andrew-bosworth-about-orion-and-reality-labs/">an interview</a> with analyst and Stratechery's Ben Thompson, Bosworth said that he felt "so gratified" to finally reveal the physical manifestation of Zuckerberg's vision after years of "intense pressure.""Until a year ago probably, we didn't know if we could build any of them still, it was still a bit of a risk," he said. "Then to come up a few months ago and play the software, it was genuinely an emotional moment for me."Meta has garnered <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/facebook-doubles-down-on-metaverse-spending-despite-calls-cut-costs-2022-10">scrutiny</a> from investors for its colossal cumulative <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-metaverse-bet-take-decade-fully-realized-meta-executive-2024-1">loss of over $50 billion</a> since 2019 in its Reality Labs division, which includes Meta's virtual and augmented reality operations as well as its metaverse software efforts. Despite recent <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-cuts-spending-reality-labs-meta-report-2024-7">attempts to rein in costs</a>, the tech giant's latest <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://investor.fb.com/investor-news/press-release-details/2024/Meta-Reports-Second-Quarter-2024-Results/default.aspx#:~:text=Revenue%20%E2%80%93%20Total%20revenue%20was%20%2439.07,%25%20year%2Dover%2Dyear">second-quarter results</a> reported losing another $4.48 billion in operating costs for the metaverse — and the company expects those losses to "increase meaningfully year-over-year."However, while <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/orion-meta-ar-smart-glasses-review-2024-9">Orion</a> has been marketed as the future of computing, it seems it will stay in the future — for a while. Each pair of glasses reportedly costs $10,000 to make, and Bosworth said scaling that down to be suitable for purchase will take roughly three to five years.<div type="image" title="Meta Connect 2024 orion" height="1526" width="2872" msid="113718561" hostid="261" sizebytes="62028"></div>But Bosworth said the company still wanted to showcase its vision of where things are going — and the tangible results after a decade of investing in AR."The first reason we're showing it is as a proof point for people," he said. "It's like, 'Hey, invest with us, believe in us, if you're a technologist, come work with us, this is the thing.'"The second target audience was the developers. The CTO said the goal was to "ignite" enthusiasm for those investing in making apps for Meta's platform."If you're investing in our social platform, you're going to get that dividend not just in the Quest ecosystem, but eventually also in the AR ecosystem," he said, referencing the company's Quest mixed-reality headsets.And Zuckerberg has long been a staunch believer in augmented reality being tech's next big thing after the iPhone. The Facebook founder <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.theverge.com/24253481/meta-ceo-mark-zuckerberg-ar-glasses-orion-ray-bans-ai-decoder-interview">told</a> The Verge that Orion is "the quintessential vision" of AR as the "next major multibillion-person computing platform."Meta, then called Facebook, missed out on the latest platform shift from PC to smartphones, with Apple and Google dominating the hardware and software. When Meta ships out a new version of Facebook, Instagram, or WhatsApp, it has to play by Google and Apple's app store rules.This time around, Zuckerberg is hoping to come out ahead with Meta's software and hardware ecosystem."And then all these other things are going to get built out around it," he told The Verge.<div type="image" title="Meta Connect 2024 holographic glasses Mark Zuckerberg" height="1550" width="2872" msid="113718558" hostid="261" sizebytes="68414"></div>Both Zuckerberg and Bosworth are facing fierce competition, especially from Apple.In 2020, Apple CEO Tim Cook <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.siliconrepublic.com/machines/tim-cook-ar-war-ducks-healthtech">once said</a> that he viewed AR as "the next big thing" and that it would "pervade our entire lives." The company released its own wearable spatial computer with the <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/my-apple-vision-pro-nightmare-surveillance-privacy-2024-3">Apple Vision Pro</a> in February, angling for the high-end market with a $3499 price tag. Heavy and bulky, the Vision Pro is currently up against Meta's lower-priced Quest lineup, which now starts at $299.But as Apple eyes cheaper versions and lighter form factors more akin to glasses, and Meta works to lower the price to manufacture Orion, the stage is set for them to battle for control of the next platform shift.Mark Zuckerberg knows it. He said earlier this month that he sees Apple as Meta's <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/mark-zuckerberg-meta-apple-culture-differences-competition-rivalry-2024-9">"primary competitor"</a> over the next decade.With Orion existing, even as an absurdly expensive almost-developer kit, Meta feels like it's finally found a potential successor to the smartphone."It could do it, that's exactly how I feel," Bosworth told Thompson.

Meta CTO explains why it was important for Mark Zuckerberg to show off $10,000 smart glasses you can't buy

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus now boast a new Camera Control button, giving users quicker access to key functions. Both phones are powered by the upgraded Apple A18 chip and come with an improved dual-camera system that includes a new spatial capture feature for enhanced photography. Running on iOS 18 right out of the box, these models are set to receive further smart updates with upcoming software enhancements. The vanilla iPhone 16 features a 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Plus offers a larger 6.7-inch screen. Both displays are protected by Ceramic Shield technology and reach a peak brightness of 2,000 nits, though they continue to use 60Hz OLED panels. On the camera front, these models come with a 48MP main sensor capable of 2x zoom and a 12MP ultrawide camera that can now take macro shots. For selfies, a 12MP TrueDepth camera is included on both models. The iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max take things a step further, with bigger screens and narrower bezels. The Pro comes with a 6.3-inch display, while the Pro Max offers a 6.9-inch one. Both feature Retina XDR OLED screens with a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and up to 2,000 nits of brightness.

Come the 18th of September, you'll find most newspapers and TV channels strutting to cover the impact of the <keyword id="19900043" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fed" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Fed" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Fed">Fed</keyword>'s potential rate change on Indian stock markets. Policymakers there have held the central bank's interest stable since July last year, within the range of 5.25% to 5.5%, to dash down inflationary pressures gripping the <keyword id="20335130" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="US-economy" source="keywords">US economy</keyword>. This much criticised wait-and-watch approach, after the <keyword id="19900043" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Fed" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Fed" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Fed">Fed</keyword> held the rates stable in its most recent meeting in July, seems to be yielding some fruits now. US consumer price index (<keyword id="20468215" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="CPI" source="keywords">CPI</keyword>) slowed down to 2.5% in August, down from 2.9% in July. With inflationary pressures approaching the 2% target mandated by Fed, experts were hoping of a 50-basis point reduction in interest rates this time. However, employment data released by the US Bureau of Labor Statistics this month painted a less than rosy picture. Little has changed in August for unemployment rates and numbers, which stood at 4.2% and 7.1 million respectively. If anything, the numbers were elevated from year-ago period, when jobless rate was 3.8% and the number of unemployed people stood at 6.3 million. Experts now believe a 25-basis point reduction in interest rates is imminent, since some positive changes were seen on the employment front. The total number of nonfarm payroll employment jumped by 1,42,000 in August, but still stayed well below the average monthly gain of 2,02,000 Says Raj Patel, CMO at MintCFD, a trading platform, "A 25 bps could show muted results from the market, however, a major rate cut in the magnitude of 50 bps could generate negative reactions, since it might show that the Fed is signaling major concerns about the economic outbreak. Indicators such as the retail sales, consumer confidence index, and services PMI are on a positive note. The Fed is focusing more on employment as the average US unemployment rate over the last three months, up to July, has increased by 0.5% as compared to the lowest point in the past year". But why are <keyword id="19991358" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-markets" source="keywords">Indian markets</keyword> always so jittery about interest rate changes in the US? And should you be worried? We decode it for you. Rate hike and cuts impacts foreign investments Generally, large institutional investors borrow funds from the US and other developed economies, and invest in India, China and other emerging countries, anticipating economic growth, and hence, potential for increased returns in the times to come. This influx of funds is crucial for growing countries, since they use it to develop their infrastructure, which will in turn, bolster their economic growth. The cost of raising funds from countries like US is relatively cheaper, given the interest rates here are not very high. On the other hand, borrowing costs in emerging countries like India are higher. At present, India's repo, or borrowing rate, at which banks borrow funds from <keyword id="19899808" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="rbi" source="keywords">RBI</keyword>, stands at 6.5%. While this may seem like a trivial difference, it decides the fate of trillions of dollars of investments. Even a 25-basis point hike or cut could bring about a significant difference when such huge sums are involved. So, when Fed decides to hold the interest rate stable, or hike the same, it makes borrowing to invest in international markets expensive for investors. At the same time, it makes investing in US treasury bonds more lucrative and economically favorable, since investors are set to earn higher returns from them. As a result, investors rush to withdraw their money from other economies, and invest it in their own country i.e. the US. For instance, in January 2024, Fed decides to keep the interest rate stable between the range of 5.25% to 5.5%. As a result, <keyword id="19991358" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-markets" source="keywords">Indian markets</keyword> saw an outflux of foreign investment that month, with investors withdrawing Rs 6,593 crores from markets. Between March 2022 and July 2023, the Fed hiked interest rates about 11 times. As a result, during FY23, foreign investors remained net sellers, liquidating Rs 40,936 crore from Indian markets. When Fed decides to slash rates, which makes borrowing cheaper, investors are encouraged to raise more funds, and invest more heavily in developing countries. This anticipation of funds stimulate the stock markets in a positive manner, which is why it is beneficial situation for countries like India, which, eventually, see greater investments from US and other economies. China and India are generally seen as favorite destinations for investors. With the Chinese economy in doldrums at the moment, India can expect higher foreign direct investments (FDI) in the months to come. Just yesterday, China cut down interest rates on about $5 trillion worth of its outstanding loans, in a bid to spur consumption and borrowing in the economy. But do not expect any immediate boosts in the equity market, as many experts caution. There have been many instances in the past where rate cuts did not boost equities immediately. This is because rate cuts are not the sole factor driving investments. If the corporates report slowed earnings, or weak growth, investors are bound to be discouraged from investing in the country. Your best bet is to invest in sectors which have traditionally withstood market downturns, like insurance, telecoms and pharmaceuticals, and reduce exposure to sectors which are significantly affected by market cycles (think PSUs, auto, metals etc).
