Infinix is set to unveil its own AI-focused strategy on March 20, called the Infinix AI∞ Beta Plan.

This upcoming announcement will coincide with the launch of the new Infinix NOTE 50 series. Infinix is also going to reveal new AIoT devices.

The Infinix AI∞ Beta Plan is poised to challenge other competing Android device manufacturers, like Samsung and OPPO, to name a few.

The name of the plan is a nod to Generation Beta, which is the latest demographic group. With such focus on a younger era, Infinix is equipping the NOTE 50 series with localized customization and accessibility.

The upcoming smartphones will be equipped with One-Tap Infinix AI∞ for powerful on-screen intelligence covering basic Q&A tasks to advanced features like recognizing addresses and creating multiple new contacts.

Moreover, Infinix is also expanding to the AIoT scene, as part of its “AI For All” strategy. At its upcoming launch, Infinix will unveil its AI rings and AI Buds.

The ultra-lightweight AI ring offers an effortless wearing experience, while accurately monitoring health indicators such as sleep, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels.

On the other hand, the Infinix AI Buds promise exceptional noise cancellation. The wearable is also expected to support translation across an unprecedented range of languages.

Infinix’s continuous growth was also highlighted at the recent MWC 2025. The company revealed two game-changing concepts: the SolarEnergy-Reserving Technology and E-Color Shift 2.0.

These ideas could pave the way for AI growth for Infinix, as they try to rival industry competitors.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns after scandals

Published

on

NVIDIA’s week is finally and mercifully coming to an end. After being implicated in two extramarital affairs, now-former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned from his position.

It’s been a terrible week for Huang’s personal life. Last weekend, a bombshell report revealed that Huang engaged in an affair with Alice Huang, who is reportedly involved with Chinese intelligence. Quickly realizing the heaviness of the allegations, the CEO admitted quickly to the affair.

However, barely 24 hours ago, another report revealed that Huang had a second extramarital affair. Though he was clear of any more espionage allegations, his romantic affair of choice was another executive within the company. NVIDIA’s board of directors quickly debated whether Huang should be fired for his actions.

Now, Huang has voluntarily resigned from his position. The former CEO leaves behind his spot at the head of the table since cofounding NVIDIA in 1993.

In his stead, the board of directors have named incumbent CFO Colette Kress as the company’s interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. Despite her interim role, Kress will continue her duties as CFO.

Additionally, the board has named Harvey C. Jones, a member of board since its founding, as its first chair of the board.

Though the company will leave most of the controversy behind with Huang’s departure, its next chapter is about to begin. Will its new direction maintain the company’s tenuous balance between AI and gaming, or tip the scales towards one segment?

St. Peter reunited people with their deceased loved ones through tech

The new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign generates letters from the imagined perspectives of loved ones.

Grieving can take many forms. Sometimes, it manifests through a desire to hear a loved one again. We look at their old clothing, a gust of wind, or a butterfly, and imagine them talking to us one more time. This year, St. Peter, through the power of technology, gave 11,000 people that chance through its new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign.

During St. Peter Deathcare Week, which ran from October 27 through November 2, the deathcare provider started the “If Heaven Could Write” campaign, an interactive digital experience that offered participants a chance to reunite with their deceased loved ones. It was available in 37 St. Peter Chapels and 76 cemeteries nationwide.

Upon scanning a QR code which took them to a portal, participants answered questions about their loved ones. Then, the portal generates a personal letter from the imagined perspective of the participant’s loved one, giving them one more chance to converse.

Of course, an imagined letter can’t replace someone who passed away. Still, the experience affords us a way to grieve and process the loss. No, the letter isn’t really from your loved one, but you can imagine what they would have said while reading through it. And sometimes, that’s all we need.

Though St. Peter Deathcare Week has already come and gone for the year, those interested can still participate in the campaign through its link.

Next iPhone might get rid of the Action Button

Both functions will be in one button instead.

In a world with a love-hate relationship with extra buttons on a phone, Apple has gone to the deeper end and included two buttons in the latest iPhones: the Action Button and the Camera Control. Next year, Apple might consolidate the two buttons into one, ridding itself of the Action Button.

According to a Weibo leak from Instant Digital, Apple will merge the two buttons starting with next year’s iPhones. Though technically a new button in itself, the merged version will, based on the leak, retain more Camera Control than the Action Button.

Of course, both functions can coexist in the same button. The Camera Control activates with a single press, while the Action Button needs a longer press. In the merged button, a single press can still open the camera and a longer press can activate whatever the user sets it to.

Both buttons have had a storied past. The Action Button came in 2023, replacing the Ring/Silent Switch. Meanwhile, the Camera Control debuted a year later, offering control over the camera with a capacitive button. The current iterations retain both buttons on the same phone.

Personally, as someone used to creating content, the Camera Control button is ultimately a boon to get those shots quickly while in the moment. Retaining that functionality is definitely worthwhile.
