Meta has announced the rollout of a new generative AI video editing feature, now available on the Meta AI app, Meta.AI website, and the Edits app. The tool is aimed at simplifying video editing for users without professional experience, allowing them to transform short-form videos using a selection of pre-set AI prompts.The launch is part of Meta’s broader effort to integrate AI-driven content creation tools across its platforms. Inspired by its Movie Gen models, the current offering allows users to apply a variety of transformations to 10-second segments of their videos. The edits can alter elements such as clothing, location, and visual style, offering an accessible entry point for personal and creative video customisation.Users can upload videos directly through the Meta AI app, Edits app, or the Meta.AI website. From there, they can choose from over 50 prompts to apply to their video clip. The transformation options range from stylised effects—like converting footage into a graphic novel or vintage comic book—to atmospheric changes, such as turning a gloomy outdoor scene into a dreamy, soft-focus visual complete with sparkles and colour filters.Another preset allows for a gaming-inspired transformation, adding video game-style visuals and character designs, including neon lighting and battle-themed outfits. The edits are rendered by Meta AI and made available for free for a limited time, although users can only transform up to ten seconds per video during the trial period.Once edited, videos can be shared directly to Meta’s social platforms, including Facebook and Instagram, via the Edits and Meta AI apps. The Meta.AI web version also allows for publishing to the Discover feed, expanding the reach of user-generated content within Meta’s ecosystem.The company says it has collaborated with content creators to develop prompt styles that resonate with digital audiences. The tool is being positioned not only as a creative outlet for casual users but also as a production aid for social media influencers and video creators looking to streamline their workflows.Available in the United States and more than a dozen other countries, the feature marks Meta’s initial foray into consumer-facing AI video editing. According to the company, more advanced functionality is planned for later this year, including the ability to customise video edits using free-form text prompts.

Acer has entered the Indian smartphone market with its budget offering, the Super ZX. The Indian budget smartphone market is already too saturated, but Acer has created a phone that is hard to beat on paper. It features an excellent design, a large high refresh rate display, a triple camera setup, and a large battery.All this, starting at ₹9,999, looks like such a great deal. But how does the smartphone perform in real life? I tested this smartphone for a couple of weeks, and here is my experience with the Acer Super ZX.Acer Super ZX unboxing and specificationsAcer Super ZX unboxingSpecificationDetailsDisplay6.78-inch FHD+ IPS LCD, 120Hz refresh rateProcessorMediaTek Dimensity 6300 (Octa-core)RAM4GB / 6GB / 8GBStorage128GB (non-expandable)Rear Camera64MP (wide) + 2MP (macro) + 2MP (depth)Front Camera13MPBattery5000mAh, 33W fast chargingOperating SystemAndroid 15Connectivity5G, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.2, USB Type-CPrice (India)Starting at ₹9,999Acer Super ZX design and buildAcer didn’t go with flashy colour schemes or a glossy finish on the Super ZX. It looks and feels like a decent mid-range smartphone with a really nice-looking and solid polycarbonate build. The frame is all plastic-looking without any chrome finish to make it look premium, and that’s what I loved about this honest design from Acer.Acer Super ZX DesignThe back panel is also polycarbonate, but this frosty finish gives it a glass look. It keeps the fingerprints and smudges away from the phone. Its large circular camera module is inspired by modern flagships. Acer also tried to make the smartphone look modern from the front by adding a punch-hole selfie camera. The display does come with a forehead and chin as expected from a budget smartphone.Acer Super ZX DesignThe in-hand feel of the phone is also pretty good. It’s 200 grams and 8.6mm thick. It’s got the fingerprint sensor on the side with the power button for convenience. Some notable things on the phone are the stereo speakers and a headphone jack.Acer Super ZX displayIf there’s a feature that punches above the phone’s price, it’s the display. It is a 6.78-inch IPS display with FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. Acer added a punch-hole instead of dewdrop notches, which is a nice touch. There are significant bezels around the display with a thick chin, but we cannot complain because this is the norm at this price.Acer Super ZX displayWhen it comes to experience, the display is great for videos and other multimedia content. It is bright enough to keep the content visible outdoors under harsh sunlight. The display has some software tweaking going on to imitate the deep blacks and contrast of an OLED panel. But it’s done just right to enjoy the content without compromising the experience.Acer Super ZX performance and softwareSuper ZX is powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset paired with up to 8GB RAM (plus an additional virtual 8GB RAM boost). It handles every daily task with ease, with quick app launches and fluid multitasking. Casual gaming is also perfectly fine, like running BGMI or indie games.But as soon as we switch to demanding games like Genshin, the performance significantly degrades. Well, this is expected and the target audience of this smartphone isn’t gamers, so overall the performance is good.Acer Super ZX OSAs expected from Acer, the Super ZX comes preinstalled with the latest Android 15 with a near-stock interface. There is little to no bloatware on the smartphone. While there’s no announcement yet, we can expect timely updates since this is the first smartphone from Acer in the Indian market.Acer Super ZX cameraThe triple camera setup at the back includes a 64 MP main sensor, and 2 MP depth and macro lenses. Instead of two 2 MP sensors, the addition of a wide sensor would have been a wise decision. The 64 MP sensor performs really well. I found the colours in the pictures to be a bit oversaturated, but we cannot complain at this price and honestly, these pictures are good enough for social media.Acer Super ZX CameraThe 13 MP selfie camera captures decent pictures with good details. For videos, the camera can go up to 2K, and there is software-based stabilisation provided, but it caps the videos at 1080p. There are multiple different camera features to play with, like night mode, pro mode, portrait and more.Acer Super ZX sound and connectivityTo future-proof the device, Acer offers 5G connectivity with the Super ZX, and I used my Airtel 5G. The download speed came out to be similar to what I get in my area, and the call quality is also good. The addition of stereo speakers is a surprise at this price, and they are pretty loud and clear too—best for watching videos.Acer Super ZX batteryAcer Super ZX features a 5000 mAh battery which is large enough to give you more than a day of backup with minimal usage. Power users can also get a whole day of backup with a full charge.The charger comes inside the box and charges the smartphone at 33 watts max. Surprisingly, the charger is a PD charger and comes with a nice braided Type-C to Type-C cable. It charges the smartphone from 0 to 50 percent in half an hour.Acer Super ZX pros and consProsClean and solid designExcellent 120Hz IPS displayStereo speakers5G connectivityDecent cameraFast chargingConsWeak indoor camera performanceNot for gamersMediocre selfie cameraAcer Super ZX final verdictAcer did a commendable job at making a budget smartphone that fits Indian needs in all aspects. Also, this is the first smartphone from Acer in the Indian market. The Acer Super ZX is an easy recommendation if anyone is looking for a budget smartphone at ₹10,000 with a no-nonsense design, excellent display, good camera and a large battery.

Apple could offer a glimpse into its next era of user experience at the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) today. The company is expected to unveil iOS 26, a major visual overhaul that signals the company’s boldest interface shift in more than a decade.The new operating system, expected to debut this autumn, could introduce what Apple reportedly calls a ‘Liquid Glass’ interface — a glossy, translucent design language that moves away from the flat minimalism first seen in iOS 7.The move is expected to mark a return to visual storytelling in Apple’s software, under the leadership of human interface chief Alan Dye. Unlike the skeuomorphic era of early iPhones — when apps mimicked physical objects — this next iteration is said to evoke a more fluid, immersive experience. Industry analyst Mark Gurman, writing for Bloomberg, described it as Apple’s most dramatic visual update since 2013.A Window into the FutureMore than just an aesthetic upgrade, iOS 26 may be a stepping stone towards the company’s 2027 flagship device, codenamedGlasswing. Named after a species of butterfly with transparent wings,Glasswing is rumoured to feature a wraparound glass body, ultra-thin bezels, and a near-invisible array of sensors — a vision that the new software aims to prepare users for.Apple’s alleged decision to introduce glossy, glass-like interface elements now could be seen as a strategic soft launch — much like how the company familiarised users with eye-tracking accessibility features before fully embracing gesture control with the Vision Pro headset.All Systems Go: Version 26 for All PlatformsIn a bid to simplify its ecosystem, Apple will also likely align version numbers across all its operating systems this year. Whether on iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch or Apple TV, all platforms may now share the version number 26 — a first for the company. The change hints at deeper integration between devices, particularly as Apple’s ambitions grow to include cars and spatial computing.Design as Apple’s Trump CardWhile the interface revamp is expected to steal the spotlight, Apple is also widely tipped to unveil its own artificial intelligence framework, dubbedApple Intelligence. But with rivals like Google and Microsoft having already made significant headway, some observers suggest Apple is arriving late to the AI race.
