The phone is a gadget that stays with us all the time and we are heavily reliant on it for purposes ranging from professional to personal. Now, we can even forget our wallets at home, but never smartphones! However, it is a good thing as our smartphones help us stay connected with our friends and family, especially during emergencies.

As the Sun moves towards the solar maximum gradually, scientists are worrying about a once in a century solar storm that can impact Earth, and humanity, severely. We are now experiencing the most active sun so far and it is generating massive solar storms frequently. The peak of solar activities happens every 11 years when the sun reaches the solar maximum. Normally, these solar storms do not severely impact the Earth, but, occasionally, they get so intense that they can generate strong geomagnetic storms that affect all the electrical infrastructure that humanity has created including the power grid and the satellites. NASA believes that if such a solar storm occurs, it could put the safety and livelihoods of people at risk. Now, it is being feared that such a massive solar storm can happen over the next few years.

Apple iPhone 15 is facing a charging problem. Earlier, European Union made the USB-C connector law compulsory for all smartphones. Now, Saudi Arabia is also going in the same direction, making USB-C ports mandatory not only for smartphones but for all electronic devices.

With the launch of the iPhone 15 series nearing, new leaks and rumors are surfacing almost every week now. While the iPhone 14 Pro models received plaudits for the fancy new Dynamic Island last year, the standard iPhone 14 models left a lot to be desired. But things could change this year as Apple is reportedly planning to bring Dynamic Island and USB Type-C to even the vanilla iPhone 15 variants. Amidst reports of a smartphone slump, it could be just what Apple needs to persuade more people to buy these devices.

With the date for Apple's next big event being leaked, the new iPhones are finally on the horizon. Unlike last year where the standard iPhone models got modest upgrades at best, the Cupertino-based tech giant has kept a slew of new features up its sleeve even for the vanilla iPhone 15 and iPhone 15 Plus. Amidst talks of manufacturing issues and supply-chain problems, we finally have a tentative date of when the new iPhones could be rolled out.

Happy Friday, Polygon readers!
