Apple unveils new iPhone 17 Pro with biggest battery in any of its previous phone models ever California [US], September 10 (ANI): Apple has announced the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, the top models in its new iPhone 17 lineup, alongside the regular iPhone 17 and all-new iPhone Air. The Pro returns to an aluminium build, adds the biggest battery of any iPhone yet, and boasts what Apple is calling a "full-width camera plateau" on the back as per the live event, which was broadcast on Apple's website and YouTube channel on Tuesday. The iPhone 17 Pro starts from 1,099 USD, with the Pro Max starting at 1,199 USD, both with 256GB of storage, according to The Verge. The obvious change this year is a dramatic redesign of the rear camera module, which now stretches all the way across the body, rather than only containing the lenses. It's still a triple camera within that new camera island, though there's been one major upgrade. For the first time this year, Pro models feature 48-megapixel sensors across all three cameras, reported The Verge. The telephoto is the lens getting a bump here, with a significant resolution improvement from the 12-megapixel telephoto lens found on last year's models. It's not only higher resolution, the telephoto packs a 56 per cent larger sensor too, and Apple says it can deliver up to 8x optical quality zoom, reported The Verge. The 6.3-inch Pro and 6.9-inch Pro Max come in only three colours: silver, blue, and an eye-catching orange that's much more colourful than the previous Pro models. According to The Verge, Apple has switched from titanium back to an all-aluminium build, and now both the front and back of the phone are made with the scratch-resistant Ceramic Shield, with the extra tough second-generation coating on the front. Despite the redesign, there's been no major change to the Pro models' sizes. The 17 Pro offers a similar 6.3-inch display to last year's 16 Pro, with the 17 Pro Max at 6.9 inches. As before, the screens themselves support ProMotion, with up to 120Hz refresh rates. The chipset inside the phones has been upgraded year-on-year, too. Like the new iPhone Air, the two Pro phones are powered by the A19 Pro chip, promising improvements in performance and efficiency, reported The Verge. It's a 3nm chip with a six-core CPU, which Apple says is "the fastest in any smartphone," and a five-core GPU. Unlike the Air, the Pro comes with what Apple says is its biggest battery ever in an iPhone, delivering its best-ever battery life, making up to 39 hours of video playback in the Pro Max. compared to 33 hours for the 16 Pro Max. You'll only get that top performance if you buy an eSIM-only version of the phone, like that sold in the US, with Apple using the extra space to cram in more power. It says phones with a physical SIM will run for two hours less.

Dubai (UAE): Asia Cup 2025/ Asia Cup Trophy unveiling ceremony/ All team captain’s press conference (Part 2) (Editor's note: Digital rights only for accredited BCCI and ACC Media) ----------------------------------- The content discusses preparations for a significant match against India, emphasizing that all matches are considered equally important despite the opponent. The team is focused on executing their planned strategies rather than being swayed by external factors. They have not targeted any specific Indian player but have formulated plans based on the strengths and weaknesses of the entire Indian batting lineup. The team intends to exploit the weaknesses of the Indian batsmen and be cautious against their wicket-taking bowlers. While spin bowling is acknowledged as potentially dangerous, the effectiveness of spinners is deemed less impactful compared to fast bowlers. depending on the weather and pitch conditions. The team aims to leverage their home advantage and familiarity with the ground to play their best cricket.

"Will not take it as big match": UAE captain Waseem downplays fixture against India Dubai [UAE], September 10 (ANI): UAE captain Muhammad Waseem isn''t dwelling on the narrative of their Asia Cup campaign opener against India being a showpiece clash. They aim to keep things simple, stick to their plan and cash in when they feel the moment is right. The UAE is making steady inroads to become one of the top sides in Asia, much like Afghanistan, which has earned a reputation as one of the bigwigs in the subcontinent, capable of challenging the best. Their recent surge resonates in their stellar run to qualify for the T20 World Cup in 2022. The UAE is striving to draw upon its experiences and take the necessary steps to start its campaign with flying colours. "We will not take it as a big match because all the teams are good in front of you, so all the matches will be the same. We are working hard in the heat, and we will only follow our plan. Whatever we have learned and whatever we need to do on that day, we will do it. Rest, the result is up to the game," Waseem told ANI. Waseem isn''t a big fan of the idea of identifying a single individual who poses a threat and then devising a plan to contain the specific player. The UAE skipper revealed that they have engineered a plan to curtail their freedom and not play to their strengths. "No, we have not made any individual plan for any particular player. We have created a plan for 6-7 batters for the whole team. We will not give their strength to the strength. We will play carefully with their wicket-taker bowler, and whoever we can charge, we have made such a plan. If the unit is more, the role of the spinners can increase," he added. India has plenty of talented spinners in its pool, including Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel. Waseem believes that if the dew factor comes into play, it would be easy to negate the threat posed by the ball tweakers. Considering the fixture will be played on their home soil, he is looking to exploit home familiarity. "Whenever there is dew, I think the spinner''s ball doesn''t turn much. But it depends on the weather tomorrow and the conditions. And as I have told you, whatever we have learned. Yes, you are right that we play a lot of cricket here. We can also say that India and Pakistan play a lot of cricket here. But it is our home. So we will try our best to take advantage of and play good cricket," he concluded. India squad for Asia Cup: Suryakumar Yadav (c), Shubman Gill, Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Jitesh Sharma, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Varun Chakaravarthy, Arshdeep Singh.

(ANI) ------------------------------------------------------ Asia Cup: A look at Abhishek Sharma''s consistent performances across five past tournaments ahead of UAE clash Dubai [UAE], September 9 (ANI): Indian opener Abhishek Sharma heads into the Asia Cup as the batter with the most promising strike rate in the T20 matches he has played since October 2023. Since October 2023, which marked the start of this Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy tournament won by Punjab, Abhishek has been India''s highest run-getter in T20s, with 2,332 runs in 66 matches at an average of 36.43, with a strike rate of 198.29. He has scored six centuries and 12 fifties, with a best score of 141. Capable of clearing the boundary right from ball one, and with a blink-and-miss bat swing, the Yuvraj Singh-mentored Punjabi hitter is amongst the most prominent faces of India''s new age T20I approach. The 25-year-old baby-faced hitter is exactly opposite of what his look might suggest, as he is seen as one of the cleanest and powerful strikers of the cricket ball. One can witness glimpses of a young Yuvraj in the youngster. The team now has new anchors without Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli. In 17 matches and 16 innings, Abhishek has scored 535 runs at an average of 33.43 at a strike rate of 193.84, with two centuries and two fifties, with his 54-ball 135 against a star-studded England being his best performance in Indian colours. The choice for Abhishek appears to be simple, either kill the game and opposition right in the powerplay or perish. While inconsistency is a frustrating by-product of his ferocious approach, an in-form Abhishek depositing the white-ball in the stands is a sight to behold. Here are performances of Abhishek in the recent five major T20I tournaments: IPL 2025: During the 2025 IPL season, Abhishek started off poorly in the first five matches. But a destructive 141 in just 55 balls, with 14 fours and 10 sixes against Punjab Kings (PBKS) had fans hyped again. After this knock, Abhishek found more consistency, with two more half-centuries and some vital opening cameos. He ended as the side''s second-highest run-getter and overall 15th-highest run-getter with 439 runs in 14 matches and 13 innings at an average of 33.76 with a strike rate of 193.39, with a century and two half-centuries to his name. However, Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) finished in the bottom half of the table. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2024/25: Representing his home state of Punjab, Abhishek ended as the 22nd-highest run-getter with 255 runs in seven innings at an average of 42.50, with a best score of 106* and a strike rate of 216.10. Punjab failed to defend their titles as they could not reach the knockout stages. ACC Emerging Teams Cup 2024/25: Playing for India A in this tournament, Abhishek scored 134 runs in four innings at an average of 33.50 at a strike rate of 203.03, with a half-century to his name and best score of 58. Team India made it to the semifinals, with his cameo against Pakistan and 50 against UAE being crucial contributions. IPL 2024: This marked the point when Abhishek''s exploits reached a wider, mainstream audience. His pairing with Australian opener Travis Head, popularly known as ''Travi-Shek'', broke powerplay batting records of T20 cricket and redefined the shortest format of the game to a point when scoring even 60-75 runs in powerplay looked underwhelming. Abhishek was the 10th-highest run-getter in the tournament and his team''s second-highest, with 484 runs in 16 matches and innings at an average of 32.26 and a strike rate of 204.21, with three half-centuries and a best score of 75*. He hit a total of 42 sixes in this tournament, the highest by an Indian batter in a single edition of the IPL. Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2023/24: Held from October to November 2023, this tournament is by far the highest point of Abhishek''s career, with 485 runs in 10 matches at an average of 48.50 at a strike rate of 192.50, with two centuries and three fifties and a best score of 112. He ended as the second-highest run-getter in the tournament, helping Punjab lift the title. Since October 2023, which marked the start of this SMAT tournament, Abhishek has been India''s highest run-getter in T20s, with 2,332 runs in 66 matches at an average of 36.43, with a strike rate of 198.29. He has scored six centuries and 12 fifties, with a best score of 141. (ANI) --------------------------------------------------- Suryakumar Yadav''s India lineup will have one eye on an Asia Cup title defense and the other on the Twenty20 World Cup it is co-hosting next year when it opens Group A against United Arab Emirates on Wednesday.India is the designated host of this 2025 edition of the Asia Cup. although it is being played at a neutral venue in the UAE under Asian Cricket Council’s guidelines for when the continental tournament is scheduled for either India or Pakistan.India vs. PakistanThe Asia Cup marks a resumption of cricket ties between India and Pakistan only months after the neighbouring countries were engaged in a tense border tension in May that disrupted the IPL and the Pakistan Super League. India''s government has given the national cricket team permission to play against Pakistan only in multi-nation tournaments.The first of a potential three meetings at the Asian Cup will be on Sunday — with a chance for more in the Super 4 stage and the Sept. 28 final. India also faces tournament newcomer Oman in the group stage on Sept. 19.Shubman Gill returnsIndia’s test captain Shubman Gill has returned to the T20 squad after a year out. He last played T20s against Sri Lanka in July 2024 when coach Gautam Gambhir took charge of the Indian team.Gill scored 754 runs in England as India’s new test skipper, helping the team draw 2-2 in the five-match series, and now returns as T20 vice-captain. T20 ace Suryakumar Yadav retained captaincy, so there''s some speculation about where Gill will slot into the XI.“He has been very successful in the IPL. He was part of the Indian team earlier, too. The kind of form he is in, it really augurs well," India great Sunil Gavaskar, who is part of the commentary panel for the Asia Cup. said. "Having him back was a no-brainer.” The Sanju Samson questionIn Gill’s absence, Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma formed an attacking opening partnership for India in T20s. While left-hander Sharma has shored up his opening spot with a mix of clever left-arm spin, Samson will be vying with Gill for the other opening slot.Since July of last year, Samson has scored 487 runs in 17 matches at an impressive strike-rate and hit three centuries. Those three hundreds inflated his run-tally, though, and masked a string of poor scores in between. Samson scored 111, 107 and 109 not out across five innings last October and November against Bangladesh (home) and South Africa (away). Take away those scores and he is left with 160 runs in 13 innings.Samson does play the dual wicketkeeper-batter role, but should Gill open, Jitesh Sharma provides a middle-order alternative. Sharma helped Royal Challengers Bengaluru win its first IPL trophy and his hitting prowess in the late overs didn’t go unnoticed.Along with Shivam Dube. Rinku Singh and Hardik Pandya, he provides a solid finishing platform for India, putting Samson''s place in some doubt.“Samson should be left alone as opener – he is most dangerous at the top and can win you matches," Ravi Shastri, former India captain and coach, told the Asia Cup’s broadcasters. “Gill can come in for someone else.”No bowling headache for IndiaJasprit Bumrah ''s fitness and availability leaves Samson’s position as India’s only selection headache. Bumrah featured in three of India’s five tests in England and, after being released from the squad ahead of the fifth test, has had sufficient rest ahead of the Asia Cup. The next T20 World Cup is India’s – and Bumrah’s – foremost assignment and team management is balancing the paceman''s workload.Harshit Rana and Arshdeep Singh are expected to share pace duties with Bumrah, while Pandya will back up as the allround pace option. He will share allrounder duties with Axar Patel and Dube. Kuldeep Yadav and Varun Chakravarthy should headline India’s spin attack.The formatThe last Asia Cup played in the T20 format was in 2022, when Sri Lanka beat Pakistan in the final. This edition is a precursor to the T20 World Cup next February, where India will be playing at home and Pakistan will play its games in Sri Lanka.The Asia Cup has alternated between ODI and Twenty20 white-ball formats since 2016, when India won the first of the T20 edition in Bangladesh.

Avalanche hits Indian Army Camp in Siachen, 3 soldiers deadNew Delhi [India], September 9 (ANI): An avalanche struck an Indian Army camp in the Siachen Glacier area on Sunday, September 7, according to sources. The bodies of three soldiers have been retrieved so far. "GOC, Fire and Fury Corps and All Ranks salute Sepoy Mohit Kumar, Agniveer Niraj Kumar Choudhary and Agniveer Dabhi Rakesh Devabhai, who made supreme sacrifice in the line of duty in #Siachen on 09 Sep 2025 and offer deep condolences to the bereaved families in this hour of grief," posted the official X Account of Fire and Fury Corps, Indian Army. Notably, Siachen is the highest battlefield of the world, which sits on the nuclear tri-junction of India, Pakistan and China. According to recent estimates and official figures, around Rs 6 crore is spent every day to keep a brigade--around 5,000 troops--in Siachen. "Siachen" means place of roses in the local Balti language. Siachen has been a bone of contention between India and Pakistan ever since the Karachi Agreement of 1949, when the area was left undivided due to the hostile terrain and extremely rough weather. Operation Meghdoot was India's bold military response to what New Delhi calls Pakistan's "cartographic aggression" in the uncharted territory of Ladakh, north of map reference NJ9842, where New Delhi and Islamabad had agreed the Line of Control (LoC) ran up to. Intelligence inputs about impending Pakistani military action prompted India to secure strategic heights on Siachen, deploying troops via airlifts and air-dropping supplies to high-altitude airfields. The primary objective behind this operation was to pre-empt the seizure of Sia La and Bilafond La passes by the Pakistan Army. Launched on April 13, 1984, this military operation was unique as the first assault launched on the world's highest battlefield. It was launched under the leadership of Lieutenant General Manohar Lal Chibber, Lieutenant General PN Hoon, and Major General Shiv Sharma. It is distinguished by being one of the greatest examples of seamless coordination and synergy between the Indian Army and the Air Force. The military action resulted in Indian troops gaining control of the entire Siachen Glacier. According to a press release from last year, the operation involved the IAF airlifting Indian Army soldiers and dropping them on the glacial peaks. Although the operation began in 1984, IAF helicopters have been operating in the Siachen Glacier since 1978, flying the Chetak helicopter, which was the first IAF helicopter to land in the Glacier in October 1978. The Indian Army launched Operation Meghdoot to secure strategic heights on Siachen with the deployment of troops. Playing an irreplaceable role in this effort, IAF's tactical and strategic airlifters, An-12s, An-32s, and IL-76s transported stores and troops and air-dropped supplies to high-altitude airfields, from where Mi-17, Mi-8, Chetak, and Cheetah helicopters ferried men and material to dizzying heights on the glacier, far above the limits set by the helicopter manufacturers. It is located so strategically that while it dominates Shaksgam Valley (ceded to China by Pakistan in 1963) in the north, controls the routes coming from Gilgit Baltistan to Leh from the west, and at the same time, it dominates the ancient Karakoram Pass in the eastern side too.
