A 23-year-old woman moved abroad and faced constant weight-shaming from her MIL and SIL. After gaining weight, she lost 33 pounds to prove them wrong, reaching 132 pounds at 5'4"; her husband supports her though her in-laws later say she’s too skinny, leaving her to wonder if she acted petty while prioritizing her health.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be roughly 2mm thicker and around 240g, driven by a larger 5,500mAh battery (with regional variations in capacity). If true, this would make it Apple’s heaviest iPhone in years, with an aluminum chassis and weight increases attributed to internal changes rather than a switch to heavier materials.
A credible leak via Lanzuk on Naver claims the Galaxy Z Fold 8's wider model could be unusually light (around 201g) with a near-crease-free display thanks to thicker UTG, potentially outperforming the Z Fold 8 Ultra in crease behavior, as Samsung prepares to unveil three foldables at a London Unpacked event around July 22.
Trump gained 14 pounds since April 2025, bringing his BMI to 29.7 (borderline obese) and prompting doctors to urge weight loss, even as the White House touts the report as showing 'excellent health,' with observers questioning data accuracy and noting discrepancies like an unexplained edema note.
A Swedish study of more than 600,000 people found that gaining weight in adulthood and starting adulthood with a higher weight increases overall cancer risk, with no safe age to gain weight. Early obesity (before 30) dramatically raises risks: men see a fivefold rise in liver cancer and doubles in pancreatic and kidney cancers, while women see about 4.5× higher endometrial cancer risk. Weight gain later in life also raises risk, with women showing strong links to endometrial, postmenopausal breast, and meningioma, and men to esophageal and liver cancers. Those who gained the most weight (~32 kg) faced about 7% higher cancer risk than those who gained little (~8 kg). Even modest weight gain elevates risk, underscoring the importance of maintaining a stable, healthy weight throughout adulthood, the authors say.
Samsung is reportedly developing a new hinge system for the Galaxy Z TriFold 2 to reduce its bulk and weight, aiming for a sleeker, lighter device despite a premium $2,900 price. The second-gen model is expected mid-2027 and may still be thicker than the Z Fold 7 (about 12.9mm closed) with a heavier ~309g weight, and it could be wider than the original TriFold. Previous production was very limited (100k–200k units), raising questions about mainstream appeal and durability, as well as the need for software refinements alongside the hardware. The hinge tech could eventually trickle to Samsung’s other foldables.
Audi debuts the RS5 as a replacement for the RS4/RS5 with a plug‑in hybrid setup: a 2.9‑liter twin‑turbo V6 plus an integrated electric motor for 630 hp and 608 lb‑ft, a 0–62 mph time of 3.6 seconds, and up to 50 miles of electric range from a 22 kWh battery. But the RS5 sedan (2,355 kg) and Avant (2,370 kg) are exceptionally heavy—even heavier than a V8 Ford F-150 SuperCab—due to the battery and AWD hardware. It adds a new center differential, torque‑vectoring rear axle, RS Torque Rear drift mode, and a Boost function. Full driving impressions will come later this year.
Paddy Pimblett, coming off a unanimous decision loss to Justin Gaethje at UFC 324, says he weighed about 86 kg (190 lb) after returning to Liverpool and enjoying a post‑fight food tour.
