I’m back from Osaka with plenty to share about the futuristic tech I saw. Yep, from a robotic personal vehicle to iPS-generated organs, this article will give you a taste of what life will be like in 2025.I’m a planner. But when I entered the exhibition grounds at Expo 2025 in Osaka last week, there were a couple of things I hadn’t counted on. First was the heat. I’m used to hot weather, but 100-degree temperatures plus humidity made for a completely new clime; a very sweaty one! Another surprise? The futuristic tech at Expo 2025. I knew there would…

Apple is rumored to finally launch its first folding iPhone late next year, and today a new analyst report claims the company is very optimistic about its success. Apple is said to have raised its iPhone Fold shipment forecast to 8-10 million units in 2026 and 20-25 million in 2027.

Today there’s a new report, this time from Greece (again inside the EU). This one claims it’s just the iPhone 17 Air not having a physical slot, and it’s what the aforementioned training is all about. The reason is easy to imagine – due to how…
