Researchers Suggest Novel Hypothesis Regarding Jupiter’s Age

some researchers believe it may have even absorbed other planets), a gas giant of such immense size that it influenced the orbits and development of its neighboring planets. For many years, researchers assumed Jupiter was approximately 4.5 billion years old, forming shortly after our sun’s formation. A recent study published in August 2025 in Scientific Reports has provided a more precise estimation of that age while also suggesting that Jupiter’s narrative is significantly more intricate.

This recent research delves deeper into Jupiter’s formation and presents a revised theory about the circumstances surrounding the planet’s inception. Rather than assuming a straightforward early origin, the results indicate a more intricate process involved in Jupiter’s birth — one that sheds more light on the planet’s age. Central to the study are chondrules: minute, previously molten rock droplets that resemble raindrops and can be found in specific meteorites. Let’s examine this new research and see how it disputes current models, as well as what it implies for our wider comprehension of planetary formation.

iPhone 17 Encounters Connectivity Problems with Major Carriers T-Mobile, Verizon, and AT&T

The iPhone 17 Is Already Experiencing Problems with T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, and More

The launch of the iPhone 17 has been a tremendous success for Apple, with both the standard iPhone 17 and the iPhone 17 Pro selling out online at this moment. Although the iPhone 17 models are outperforming the previous generation, Apple is facing some challenges. The most significant of these is the iPhone 17 Pro’s ScratchGate, while buyers have also reported intermittent camera malfunctions and Wi-Fi issues. Additionally, some users of the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are encountering cellular connectivity problems with AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, and other networks. Interestingly, users report that the iPhone Air appears unaffected.

Initially discovered by PhoneArena, several threads on Reddit outline the connectivity difficulties some users have experienced. Temporarily losing the carrier connection can lead to various complications, including dropped calls and problems with apps that depend on internet access. Nevertheless, these cellular problems are not lasting. The iPhone 17 devices will re-establish a connection to the network once the signal is lost.

This is still an issue, but it is one that Apple might resolve through a software update, given the nature of the symptoms. The fact that AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon users have reported connectivity troubles with the iPhone 17 models suggests that it is not an issue tied to a specific mobile carrier. Furthermore, PhoneArena conducted a poll asking users about their cellular experiences with the new devices, revealing that under 50% of respondents encountered issues. This implies the problem is considerable, but not every buyer faced dropped signals. This further indicates that, once again, the hardware is not at fault.

Apple is aware of the iPhone 17 connectivity problems.

“I just spoke with a senior Apple advisor who confirmed they are experiencing issues with the iPhone 17 and cellular signals,” stated Reddit user SubstantialBaker128 earlier this week. “I have eSIMs from all three major carriers, and all have been inconsistent. I’ll go from 4 bars with 5G UW on Verizon and 5G+ on AT&T, 5G UC on T-Mobile, to nothing on all three. Dropped calls and texts that don’t send — all in locations where my previous iPhone had zero issues.” The Redditor mentioned that Apple is addressing the bug, but there is no timeline for when a solution will be available.

In response to the same thread, Reddit user Ancient_Cockroach mentioned that a senior Apple Support adviser told them that Apple’s best course of action is to replace the device. The tests conducted by Apple on the problematic unit indicated that everything appeared normal. The user described their experience as “Super frustrating. I’ll be driving, streaming music, and suddenly no more music for a few minutes. Zero bars, SOS mode, and then LTE comes back, followed by 5G. It takes about 15-30 seconds.” They added that they live in a major metropolitan area where they never faced cellular issues with the iPhone 15 Pro.

Finally, Reddit user Better-Patient-223 reported that Apple support performed a network configuration on the iPhone 17 Pro. The user should wait 24 hours for the network configuration to be saved on the device, after which the service should stabilize.

What can you do?

The iPhone 17 models are expected to have enhanced cellular connectivity compared to their predecessors, especially the Pro editions. The camera module on the back includes a built-in antenna. Reviewers like Mrwhosetheboss noted the improved 5G signal, although he tested the device in the UK using a physical SIM card. AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon users in the U.S. purchased an iPhone 17 version that utilizes eSIM cards. A user in Europe commenting on the Reddit threads experienced the same problem while using an eSIM. The new iPhone 17 versions are also equipped with Qualcomm Snapdragon X80 modems that manage cellular connectivity, including 5G. Only the iPhone Air features Apple’s proprietary C1X model.

While iPhone 17 users experiencing the cellular connectivity bug cannot directly address the problem, it may be helpful to reset the device to see if that resolves the issue. Contacting Apple Support is also a wise move, as they may provide additional assistance. In the worst-case scenario, you may need to return the device until a remedy is available.

According to Tom’s Guide, one individual mentioned on Reddit that an update to the current iOS 26 developer beta release (iOS 26.1 beta 1) resolved the issue. Reddit user mysterioussilas noted in a thread earlier this week that they updated to iOS 26 beta, which appeared to solve the problem. However, they later updated their comment to state that the cellular connectivity issue persisted.

How to Get a Complimentary iPhone 17 Pro from T-Mobile

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max featuring the completely revamped iOS 26 design are poised to be among the leading mobile devices of 2025. Preorders for Apple’s newest release commenced on September 12, with the devices now available for purchase both online and in physical stores. In anticipation of significant new launches such as the iPhone 17, phone carriers frequently provide deals to encourage upgrades to the latest technology, and T-Mobile is at the forefront.

For a limited time, T-Mobile subscribers can qualify for a complimentary upgrade to the iPhone 17 Pro when they trade in any existing phone regardless of its condition. The only requirement is that you must be enrolled in their Experience Beyond Plan (EBP). After acquiring the iPhone 17 Pro, T-Mobile will start issuing bill credits over a period of 24 months, meaning you’ll need to remain in the plan for a minimum of two years. If you decide to cancel before completing the bill credit period for the iPhone 17 Pro, you will be liable for any remaining balance. Additionally, a $35 activation fee applies when you set up your new device.

Photoshop Incorporates Google’s Nano Banana AI Image Creation Model

Google unveiled the Nano Banana AI image generation tool in late August, the model that gained immense popularity during Google’s pre-launch testing phase. Officially named Gemini 2.5 Flash Image, it remains widely known as Nano Banana as it continues to capture attention. This image generation model is thought to have catapulted Gemini to the top of the App Store, where it recently became the most downloaded iPhone app, ousting ChatGPT from that position.

Almost a month following Google’s official announcement, Adobe declared that the Photoshop app now incorporates additional models for the Generative Fill feature, including Gemini 2.5 Nano Banana and Black Forest Labs’ FLUX.1 Kontext [pro]. These two new additions complement Adobe’s own Firefly Image 3 and Image 1 models. Both models will be accessible in the Photoshop beta app starting Thursday, as soon as users update to the latest application version.

Previously, Adobe introduced Nano Banana support in Adobe Express. In a different context, the Adobe Firefly app enables users to choose from various generative AI models for creating images and videos, incorporating models from Google (Nano Banana and Veo 3), OpenAI (ChatGPT), and more.

How Nano Banana functions in Photoshop

The images displayed above illustrate the use of Nano Banana within Photoshop’s Generative Fill feature. For instance, the first image presents the original photo of a model crouched against a blue backdrop alongside part of the text prompt Adobe utilized for the primary image. The image also reveals the Generative Fill menu where the Nano Banana option can be found. The resulting image is remarkable. The background has been entirely altered. The model sports different attire and a new hairstyle. Additionally, her head is angled towards the camera.

The second example depicts a similar alteration of an original photo using Nano Banana. Aside from the model’s face, hairstyle, and glasses, everything else has changed, including the background, clothing, and hand positioning. Nano Banana in Photoshop empowers creators to fabricate any image they desire based on a real photograph, without changing the model’s appearance. The capability to keep the subject intact while adjusting the head and body orientation has been a significant draw for Nano Banana since its trial phase.

Adobe states that Nano Banana is “excellent for stylized components, graphic intricacies, and creative scene enhancements,” while FLUX.1 Kontext

Since that time, Zack Nelson from JerryRigEverything and iFixit have indicated that the iPhone 17 Pros are more susceptible to scratches around the edges of the camera plateau. This isn’t due to aluminum being less resilient than titanium; rather, it’s the sharp edges that decrease the scratch resistance of the aluminum oxide layer against items such as keys and coins. According to testing by iFixit, the flat edges of the iPhone 17 Pro models tend to be less prone to incurring permanent damage.

Apple Reveals Plans to Create Proprietary Modems for Upcoming iPhones, iPads, and Macs

iPhone 16e featuring the latest C1 5G modem. Although evaluations showed it wasn’t as proficient as Qualcomm’s equivalent for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro variants, it marked a significant advancement for Apple as the brand persists in developing its own components and enhancing the synergy between its hardware and software.

With the launch of the iPhone 17, the company opted to enhance this modem with a C1X version, particularly for the iPhone Air. Apple asserts that the C1X modem is as much as 2x quicker than C1 and can outperform the modem in the iPhone 16 Pro while utilizing the same cellular technologies. More crucially, the company asserts that it is the most energy-efficient 5G modem available on an iPhone.

Nevertheless, while these innovations are essential for maintaining battery longevity on the iPhone Air, the firm still opted to incorporate Qualcomm’s newest 5G modem in the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. During a discussion with CNBC, Apple VP of Software Technologies and Ecosystems Arun Mathias responded to the absence of its proprietary modem in the premium iPhone 17 models.

“Our primary focus was on what we required for iPhone Air,” Mathias responded when asked about the modem lacking in the other models. “We also have excellent offerings with iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro. Over time, we will introduce Apple cellular solutions into additional products.”
