Average apartment sizes up 17 per cent in top seven cities in two years

Published by Webster

Indian homebuyers are increasingly opting for larger living spaces, with average flat sizes across the top seven cities rising by 17 per cent in just two years, according to the latest research by ANAROCK Property Consultants. The data shows that the average apartment size in these key urban centres increased from 1,420 square feet (ft) in 2023 to approximately 1,676 sq ft in 2025. The momentum continued over the past year, with an 8 per cent rise from around 1,540 sq ft in 2024. Anuj Puri, the chairman of ANAROCK Group, attributed the shift to evolving buyer preferences in the post-Covid period. “Large 3-4BHK homes and units with additional study rooms have now become mainstream in many of the top seven cities. Highly motivated buyers of such homes remain unfazed by higher price tags,” he said, adding, “Luxury housing is firmly in the driver’s seat.” Puri noted that the sustained demand for bigger homes counters speculation of a cooling residential market. “Despite relentless price growth in high-demand corridors, our latest data shows that the average …

The Oura Ring 4 has slimmer sensors, increased accuracy, and more sizes

Published by Webster

Oura is giving its popular smart ring and app a substantial makeover. The company just announced the $349 Oura Ring 4, which will feature a slimmer design, improved accuracy, and more sizes. Starting today, the Oura app will also be getting a complete redesign to better organize the swath of new features introduced over the past few months. At a glance, the Oura Ring 4 doesn’t look too different from the Gen 3. However, the new ring will be fully made from titanium. (The previous ring had an epoxy interior.) All the rings will also be completely round, like the current Horizon models, with no flat edge. Perhaps most notably, the sensors no longer have protruding dome-shaped covers. Instead, they’re recessed for a flatter, more comfortable profile. There’s a revamped charging dock, but alas no case.Image: Oura The new ring’s sensors are now recessed instead of dome shaped.Image: Oura The bigger update, however, comes from software. Oura says its new algorithm helps solve a major problem with smart rings — the fact that everyone’s fingers …

James Webb Space Telescope Corrects Misconceptions About Sizes of Early Galaxies

Published by Webster

Recent observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) have challenged earlier assumptions about the size of galaxies in the early universe. Previously, scientists were puzzled by the apparent size of these ancient galaxies, which seemed to defy the standard model of cosmology. The JWST, with its advanced infrared capabilities, has now shed light on the matter, revealing that some of these early galaxies are not as massive as initially believed. Understanding the Misconception Astronomers initially found that early galaxies appeared much larger than expected, suggesting a potential crisis in our understanding of the universe’s evolution. This discrepancy was attributed to a miscalculation of the galaxies’ mass, partly due to the influence of black holes. Black holes, despite their name, can make galaxies seem brighter and more massive due to the intense light emitted from gas falling into them. This effect was not fully accounted for in earlier observations. Revised Galaxy Sizes Dr Steve Finkelstein, an astrophysicist at the University of Texas at Austin, and his team have now corrected these estimates. They focused on …

Published by Webster

Apple could launch a new MacBook model with a foldable display in the coming years, according to details shared by TF Securities International analyst Ming-Chi Kuo. In a blog post published on Thursday, Kuo claims that Apple is considering two screen sizes for the upcoming foldable MacBook and has picked exclusive suppliers for the display and hinge components. The device will also have a high bill of materials (BOM) and a high retail price when it is launched, according to the analyst. Apple Reportedly Working on Foldable MacBook The panel for the foldable MacBook will be exclusively supplied by LG Display, according to Kuo, and the analyst says that Apple is considering the use of an 18.8-inch or 20.25-inch display — resulting in 13-inch and 14-inch laptop sizes when folded. Meanwhile, the hinge for the folding laptop will reportedly be supplied by Amphenol. Hours after Kuo predicted these display sizes, Display Supply Chain Consultants (DSCC) CEO and Co-Founder Ross Young also said that Apple is working on a MacBook with a foldable screen.

iPhone 16 Series Leaked Images Reveal Display Sizes, Camera Alignment

Published by Webster

iPhone 16 series could witness major reshuffling when it comes to design and display sizes. As per a new leak, the Pro models — the iPhone 16 Pro and the iPhone 16 Pro Max — could get larger displays, whereas the non-Pro models — the iPhone 16 and the iPhone 16 Plus — could feature a new camera alignment. These changes, if true, will break Apple’s three-year streak of introducing consistent design and display for its smartphones. Notably, the iPhone 16 series is also tipped to get capacitive buttons this year. Tipster Sonny Dickson shared an image on X (formerly known as Twitter) showcasing the new design and display sizes. As per the images, the iPhone 16 Pro could get a 6.3-inch display as opposed to the 6.1-inch display on the iPhone 15 Pro. Similarly, the iPhone 16 Pro Max is tipped to feature a 6.9-inch display compared to a 6.7-inch display on its predecessor. The vanilla iPhone 16 is said to retain its 6.1-inch display, while the iPhone 16 Plus will get the same …

Samsung Galaxy Ring Model Numbers Reveal Compact Wearable Will Arrive in Eight Sizes: Report

Published by Webster

Samsung Galaxy Ring is expected to arrive in global markets in the coming months, and details of the next-generation wearable have been leaking ever since the company first teased it in January. A new report reveals the model numbers of the wearable device, that suggest it will be available in eight sizes. Samsung is yet to reveal detailed specifications of the Galaxy Ring, which is expected to offer health and sleep monitoring features, and run for up to nine days on a single charge. A Galaxy Club report (in Dutch) states that there are only eight confirmed variants of the Galaxy Ring. These are SM-Q500, SM-Q501, SM-Q502, SM-Q505, SM-Q506, SM-Q507, SM-Q508, and SM-Q509. Two model numbers appear to be missing, and it is currently unclear whether these represent additional sizes, or whether Samsung will introduce a ninth variant, like it previously announced. The publication speculates that these model numbers will match US ring sizes 5 and higher, starting with the SMQ500. The following model numbers could represent larger ring sizes, up to size 13, which could correspond with the model number …

Google’s Pixel 9 will reportedly come in three sizes this fall

Published by Webster

Google plans to shake up its smartphone strategy in 2024 by releasing three different models of the upcoming Pixel 9. That’s according to 91mobiles, with the site now claiming that the renders published earlier this year (created by OnLeaks) were in fact of the Pixel 9 Pro and Pixel 9 Pro “XL” — and not the regular Pixel 9, which it’s sharing for the first time in new images today. Google used the XL branding for its bigger Pixels until around 2019, but it went away with the one-size Pixel 5 and stayed gone when the company pivoted to the “Pro” name starting in 2021. Now it sounds like Google will follow more of an iPhone strategy and split the Pro tier into two different sizes, and resurrecting the XL moniker makes sense in that case. The standard Pixel 9 matches the design of previous leaks, with flat edges (unlike the curved Pixel 8 and 8 Pro) and display corners that seem to keep growing more rounded each year. The renders suggest different screen sizes …

Published by Webster

Google is reportedly preparing to release a second foldable this year. The Pixel Fold 2 is likely to see the light in May at the company’s annual developer conference. It is expected to bring several improvements over last year’s Google Pixel Fold. Ahead of any official announcements, DSCC analyst Ross Young has leaked some details surrounding the foldable phone. He claims that the Pixel Fold 2 will have a tablet-sized screen. It is said to come with an 8.02-inch foldable display. Ross Young on X posted that Pixel Fold 2 will have bigger displays than its predecessor. It is tipped to feature an 8.02-inch foldable screen and a 6.29-inch cover screen. The production of the panels for the book-style foldable is said to start in April. As per Young, both screens on the Pixel Fold 2 would be significantly bigger than the original Pixel Fold. The latter has a 7.6-inch inner foldable screen and a 5.8-inch outer display. The Pixel Fold 2 is expected to be announced in May at the Google I/O event or in …

Google Pixel Watch 3 to Be Available in Two Different Case Sizes: Report

Published by Webster

Google Pixel Watch 3 is likely to be launched in two different size variants, according to a new report. So far, Google launched its smartwatches in a single-size variant of 41mm diameter, unlike Apple and Samsung. The Apple Watch Series 9 and the Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 are both available in two different sizes. Now, the search giant is also reportedly working on bringing an additional Pixel Watch 3 variant with a larger case size. This development, if true, will address a long-time user complaint and enable the Pixel Watch 3 to better compete in the market. A report by 9to5Google suggests that two different size variants of the Google Pixel Watch 3 are currently in development. The two variants are not expected to differ much in specifications, but the larger model may get a bigger display and a larger battery. The report highlighted that the lack of options in watch sizes was a big complaint by the Google Pixel Watch and Pixel Watch 2 users as many users prefer a larger watch. If this …
