iPhone Air's Poor Sales Spook Rivals Into Ditching Ultra-Thin Phone Plans

The leaker known as "Digital Chat Station" today posted on Weibo, claiming that the ‌iPhone Air‌ barely surpassed 700,000 unit activations even after multiple rounds of price reductions.

Сгенерировать фото будешего ребенка по фото родителей, тестируем ТОП-5 ИИ и сравниваем результаты

Предсказывать внешность ребенка по фотографии родителей - аттракцион старый как мир. Помните убогие флеш-сайты из нулевых, которые просто брали овал лица мамы, топорно накладывали поверх глаза папы с прозрачностью 50% и выдавали пугающего кадавра?
