iPhone 18 Pro Max tipped to be Apple’s heaviest in years due to bigger battery

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.

Adulthood weight gain tied to higher cancer risk across multiple cancers, study shows

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's Galaxy Z TriFold 2 promises a slimmer hinge to shed bulk

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 RS5 Hybrid: 630 HP Power, But Heavier Than an F-150

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.

BMW M5 G90: Powerhouse Debuts at Goodwood FoS Despite Weight Concerns

BMW's new M5 is significantly heavier due to its plug-in hybrid system, weighing 5,390 pounds, nearly 1,000 pounds more than its predecessor. Despite the added weight, BMW's M division head Frank van Meel insists the hybrid M5 still delivers the driving dynamics expected from the model. The hybrid system was necessary to meet emissions regulations, and while it offers limited electric range, it provides tax benefits in some countries due to its low CO2 output.

"The Weight of Earth: Unveiling the Planet's Mass"

Earth's weight fluctuates due to gravitational force, but its mass is approximately 5.9722×10^24 kilograms, or around 13.1 septillion pounds, equivalent to 13 quadrillion pyramid of Khafre in Egypt. Determining Earth's mass involved measuring gravitational force using Newton's law of universal gravitation and the gravitational constant (G), which was determined through Henry Cavendish's "Cavendish experiments." Despite slight discrepancies in G measurements, scientists continue to use this method to calculate Earth's mass, viewing the discrepancies as opportunities for scientific understanding.
