Yesterday, Apple unveiled the next major version of the operating system that will power the iPhone. The operating system, iOS 27, was revealed at the company’s annual Worldwide Developer Conference in Cupertino, California. But compared to previous versions, iOS 27 is relatively lacking in the number of new features that most people expect with the company’s annual operating system refresh. That’s because this year, Apple is really focusing on stabilization, speed, and bug fixes with iOS 27. While that may disappoint some iPhone users, a focus on speed and reliability is something longtime Apple fans have been hoping for for…
Vishal Talwar – Sr. Vice President and Sector Head Technology – New Age Vertical at Wipro.As with every year, Frontier Tech innovators and industry watchers followed CES 2026 closely. This year felt like a turning point for embodied AI. What stood out wasn’t just what these systems could do, but where they were doing it—in open fields, in backyards and inside living spaces—far beyond controlled demos or research labs.When intelligence moves beyond software interfaces and begins to operate in physical environments, the stakes change. Systems no longer react to prompts on a screen. They engage with the real world. For…
We talked to the Bicycle Nomad about his quest to unearth the faces and names of the 1897 Buffalo Soldiers Bicycle Corps.Published June 9, 2026 03:01AMErick Cedeño is an explorer and historian who learns and teaches about history by biking through it. Known as the Bicycle Nomad, Cedeño has retraced many historic routes, including the Underground Railroad route from New Orleans to Niagara Falls. “I was always fascinated by the resilience of people traveling through the Underground Railroad, not knowing how to read a map, but knowing how to navigate through rivers, mountains, and the natural world,” he told me.…
The MBA is often considered the cornerstone degree for business leaders who aspire to reach the corner office. In fact, roughly 75% of the Fortune 500’s top 20 CEOs received an MBA or some other graduate degree. The chief executives of Apple, Microsoft, Blackrock, and JPMorgan all hold MBA degrees, among countless other leaders who have risen to the top after graduating from business school or pursuing further education later in their career. As a business school professor, I see the ambition in the eyes of MBA students who aspire to be counted among tomorrow’s change makers. Although some enter…
Published June 9, 2026 03:18AMSabastian Sawe, the first person to run an official marathon in less than two hours, took baking soda before his race. What’s most remarkable about this fact is not that he did it, but that most people didn’t think it was a big deal. Of course he did. Everyone is doing now, right?I’m exaggerating, but not by much. When I first wrote about the Swedish company Maurten’s new easy-on-the-stomach formulation of baking soda back in 2023, it was mostly seen as a performance boost for short events lasting between about one and ten minutes. Baking soda—sodium…
ToplineSkywatchers should clear their diary for dusk tonight as the two brightest planets in the night sky — blazing Venus and giant Jupiter — get to within 1.6 degrees of each other just after sunset. However, the sight will be visible for only a couple of hours after the sun has set. The prize for anyone looking west about 45 minutes after sunset will be the rare sight of two bright planets no farther apart than the width of a thumb held at arm’s length, according to Sky & Telescope. Here’s what you need to know to see 2-26’s best…
If you haven’t experienced burnout, you’ve surely witnessed it. I have certainly taken part in conversations about someone who hit that wall of physical and emotional exhaustion at work. The sentiments are almost always the same: They were working too hard; they just didn’t know how to create a work-life balance. But what is “work-life balance”? Does it really exist in the definition that everyone’s used to screaming about? Work-life balance is one of those phrases that sounds wise until you examine it, because the framing treats work as the enemy of life: something to be rationed and kept on…
Most organizations aim to be AI-forward, but their legacy infrastructure may already be costing them the race.Ask senior executives what is slowing AI progress, and they will cite talent, data quality, change management or regulation. What is often overlooked is the underlying IT infrastructure.Matthias Patzak, Executive in Residence at AWS and former CTO, highlights two striking figures: 70% of enterprise workloads still run on servers owned and managed by the organization, while 70% of the world’s largest companies operate software that is more than 20 years old.AI may be the decisive competitive factor, but most organizations remain constrained by infrastructure…
I watch about a thousand companies make hiring decisions in real time as the CEO of Paraform, the world’s largest recruiting marketplace. The pattern I’ve seen over the last 18 months is so consistent that it’s no longer just a trend. The standard story about AI and jobs is that automation is hollowing out entry-level work, but that’s not entirely true. What I’m seeing is more consequential: Artificial intelligence is making “good enough” workers redundant, while the remaining demand is concentrating around a much smaller group of exceptional people, and the gap between those two groups is widening faster than…
The new custom EQ feature will be supported on AirPods Max 2, AirPods Pro 3 and AirPods 4.Prakhar KhannaThe Apple Worldwide Developer Conference (WWDC) 26 was more about fulfilling past promises than making new ones. While we waited for OS-centric upgrades, Apple Intelligence and the long-awaited Siri AI took center stage at the event. The new iOS 27 update promises to make your iPhone faster and more responsive, but there’s one more feature related to AirPods that has me excited. Apple briefly mentioned this announcement in a couple of sentences at the event, but here’s why it matters.The AirPods are…
