I accompanied & host @matiullahwesa on his trips to Kunar province where I noticed in his speeches that he always conveyed the message to our students and the young generation that only Afghans can build their country, we should never expect foreigners to build our country. 1/2.
Apple’s official September launch event introduces major architectural shifts across silicon, optics, baseband, and form factors with the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the all-new iPhone Ultra foldable. Here is the complete technical breakdown:
Silicon & Thermal Architecture
At the heart of the iPhone 18 Pro series is the new A20 Pro SoC, built on TSMC’s cutting-edge 2nm process node. Utilizing Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module (WMCM) packaging, Apple has integrated 12GB of unified RAM directly onto the silicon wafer alongside the CPU and GPU dies. This architecture delivers up to an 18% boost in processing throughput, expands cache allocations for local LLM execution, and reduces overall thermal energy loss by nearly 30%.
Optical & Camera Pipeline
The camera hardware moves away from static optics in favor of a physical mechanical variable aperture ($F/1.4$ to $F/4.0$) on the primary 48MP main sensor. This allows true hardware-level depth of field control and physical light adjustments without relying on digital post-processing blur. The rear housing features a complete 48MP sensor array (Main, Ultrawide, and Periscope Telephoto), driving zero-loss computational pipeline processing across all focal lengths.
Baseband & Wireless Integration
Qualcomm basebands have been replaced by Apple’s in-house custom C2 5G modem. The C2 chip handles high-speed cellular processing at significantly lower power draw and integrates 5G satellite data communications directly into the primary baseband processor.
Display, Power & Build Specifications
· Displays: 6.3" (Pro) and 6.9" (Pro Max) LTPO+ OLED panels reaching peak brightness levels of 3,000+ nits, paired with a 35% reduced Dynamic Island cutout.
· Batteries: A 5,567 mAh cell powers the Pro Max, while the Pro model houses a 4,288 mAh battery.
· Finishes: Dark Cherry, Sky Blue, Silver, and Dark Grey.
The iPhone Ultra (Book-Style Foldable)
Apple's first foldable device features a 7.8-inch inner LTPO+ OLED screen and a 5.4-inch cover screen, housed in a titanium chassis measuring 4.5mm open and 9mm closed. It utilizes a liquid metal hinge mechanism for crease minimization, power-button Touch ID, dual 48MP optics, and the 2nm A20 Pro chip.
Pricing & Retail Availability
· iPhone 18 Pro: Starting at $1,299 (256GB base)
· iPhone 18 Pro Max: Starting at $1,399
· iPhone Ultra: Starting at $1,999 – $2,299
· Availability: Pre-orders begin Saturday, September 12, with retail sales opening Friday, September 18.

@DellCares and @Dell I need urgent assistance regarding my open support ticket (Service Request #229585065). I submitted this request on July 27th for my Dell Latitude 7480, but I still have not received any reply or update from your technical support team. My laptop is currently stuck on a BIOS/System password prompt, making the entire system completely unusable. I rely heavily on this machine for my daily work and cannot afford any more delays. Please check my case status and help escalate this issue as soon as possible.
Thank you!

If you’re serious about history, tell the whole story. Pakistan backed favored Mujahideen factions, later supported the Taliban’s rise, and has long faced accusations of maintaining relationships with other militant groups in the region. Afghanistan’s internal failures made us vulnerable; Pakistan’s interference made the conflict deadlier and longer.
@AsifDurrani20 Pot meet kettle
Pak has destabilized Afg for decades Bc they fear India, and losing KP and/or Baloch provinces to independence or Afghanistan
If Pak stopped using terrorism as foreign policy…the region would stabilize
Afghans have responsibility but Pak is blocking peace
She wants Al-Jazeera and BBC to raise the voice, but she doesn't know that Al-Jazeera and BBC only defame India, but can't talk about the brutality of Pakistani Army 🤨
They were active during CJP Protest, but stays silent on Pakistani Army brutality 😒
There is something deeply ironic about seeing a member of the ANP (Awami National Party) thank Jinnah for the partition of India and for founding Pakistan on the basis of Islam, while at the same time claiming to be a committed follower of Khan Abdul Ghaffar Khan and the Khudai Khidmatgar movement.
It is difficult not to feel disappointed when a movement once known for its secular, progressive, and leftist ideals ends up echoing narratives that closely resemble official Pak Studies propaganda. Perhaps that is one reason why figures like Asfandyar Wali Khan have remained away from active politics for so long and why several other prominent leaders have chosen to part ways with the party.
🏆🇪🇸 Congratulations to Spain on a historic 1–0 victory over Argentina! A performance full of courage, discipline and determination. La Roja are champions once again! ¡Vamos España! ❤️💛

د «مطالعهٔ پاکستان» (پاک سټډي) د مضمون اغېزې د پای ته رسېدو په حال کې دي. نړۍ داسې پړاو ته ننوتې چې په هر کونج او ګوټ کې ولسونه د خپل هویت او پېژندګلوۍ پوښتنه راپورته کوي. نن تر بل هر وخت پاکستان د هویت له ژور بحران سره لاس او ګرېوان دی. همدارنګه، تر بل هر وخت زیات پښتانه خپل اصلي هویت ته ورګرځي او په زغرده مني چې دوی افغانان دي. دوی دا هم مني چې که پاکستان وي او که نه وي، دا ولسونه له پخوا راهیسې پر خپلو تاریخي ځمکو اباد وو او تر هغو چې نړۍ پاتې وي، پر همدې خاوره به ژوند کوي.
Really saddened to hear of the passing of the charismatic Shapoor Zadran. I loved watching him play, his run-up, his intent. Shapoor and Hamid Hassan formed such a big part of Afghanistan's early years. Way too soon. Way too unfortunate.
Afghanistan fast-bowler, Shapoor Zadran, passes away at 38. 🇦🇫 🥀
Shapoor Zadran has been receiving treatment at Yatharth Super Speciality Hospital in Greater Noida for stage 4 Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare and life-threatening immune disorder.
A heartfelt loss for Afghanistan cricket and the cricketing world.
The Bangladesh Cricket Board is deeply saddened by the passing of former Afghanistan cricketer Shapoor Zadran. His contribution to Afghanistan cricket will always be remembered.
Heartfelt condolences to his family and the Afghanistan cricket community.
May he rest in peace.
