Apple has officially announced its first foldable smartphone, the iPhone Duo. The device, which has been rumored for years, has a passport form factor, two screens, a cutting-edge processor, and the integration of AI algorithms to operate two batteries as a single unit.

During its traditional autumn presentation, Apple officially announced a new line of flagship smartphones — iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The main innovations were the transition to the 2-nanometer A20 Pro processor, the introduction of an innovative cooling system, and a camera with an automatic variable aperture.

Jacob Coxon, who worked at OpenAI and Anthropic, said both companies are moving toward self-improving superintelligence too quickly. He said researchers within the industry have serious concerns that such AI could pose a threat to humanity.

When people talk about AI in sales, they usually imagine an IT company: CRM, thousands of leads, automatic email sequences, transcription of Zoom calls, and an AI assistant that writes follow-ups. But I became more interested in another question: what can AI give to a sales manager in a traditional B2B business?

Ukrainian deeptech company AEROSTRATEG, founded in Kyiv in January 2026, is developing Ares Core — an AI-native platform for aerospace and defense engineers. According to the company’s director Volodymyr Mitasov, the product is already being tested by 12 Ukrainian defense-industrial complex enterprises, and the company has two signed commercial SaaS licenses and is preparing two more installations of local hardware and software complexes for industrial customers.

Jakub Pakhotski, Chief Scientist at OpenAI, has published a lengthy essay titled «An Alien Mind,» summarizing the company’s three-year journey from early results in training reasoning models to today’s Astra-class systems. The main message is that the pace of progress can be sustained until recursive self-improvement (RSI)—the point at which AI increasingly directs its own development—and no one is truly ready for that.

C/C++ developer Vitaliy Kremin on LinkedIn and stand-up comedian Vitalik Kremin on YouTube and live performances: these two roles have been successfully and quite organically combined in one person for many years. However, the full-scale war has made its adjustments here too — so now Vitaliy Kremin is a serviceman in the Air Force of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, and there is not much time left in his life for IT and stand-up.

OpenAI’s internal system has created an analytical proof that the company claims solves one of the seven millennium problems—the existence and smoothness of solutions to the Navier-Stokes equations. OpenAI has also presented a formalization of the proof in the Lean language.

Apple will hold its annual September event on Wednesday, September 9, at 10 a.m. Pacific Time (8 p.m. Eastern Time) at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino. The event, with the tagline «Surprise and Shine,» will be the first major appearance on stage for the company’s new CEO, John Turnus. In his first official letter to employees, according to Bloomberg, Ternus wrote: «We have a huge launch next week that will be phenomenal.»

The Aurora multimarket chain today has over 1,900 stores across Ukraine and over 17,000 employees. However, behind the large-scale retail, there is a powerful IT transformation. Inside the company, they test Computer Vision on ordinary IP cameras, assemble a «Smart Wikipedia» on self-trained open-source models, and teach non-technical specialists to create useful software using artificial intelligence.

Hello! My name is Oleksandr Nigmatulin, I am the co-founder and marketing director of PRNEWS. Working with media publications, I regularly see listicles — from truly useful lists to random ones, compiled without clear criteria and sufficient context. In this article, I’ll walk you through how to create listicles that help readers compare options, capture related search queries, and can be visible in AI search. I’ll also explain where useful format ends and clickbait begins.

When they say that the topic of digitalization of healthcare is very painful for Ukrainians, we are dealing here not only with the figurative, but also with the direct meaning of this word. After all, the paper bureaucracy of a huge and poorly managed system inherited from the Soviet Union has long caused people with very different diagnoses, including life-threatening ones, to suffer.

Bill Gates recently published a column, “ The turbulent AI era is here. The choices we make now are critical, ” about the transition to an economy where artificial intelligence takes over a significant portion of human work, and I read it twice: the first time I nodded, the second time I started arguing with myself out loud. Gates honestly describes the risks of junior professionals being displaced faster than the market can create new jobs, cyber threats growing faster than protection, and the impact of AI companions on children. He has one proposal that really worries me: taxing AI and robot tokens in the same way that payroll is currently taxed, to slow down the replacement of humans by machines and fund retraining.

Prolonged air alerts, the government's division of threat levels, and constant hits — Kyiv and the regions have encountered a new enemy tactic. Russia is scaling up production of Shahed jets, which fly at the speed of cruise missiles and cover a range of up to 1,000 km. We understand why mobile fire groups lose effectiveness against high-speed targets, how the enemy is building infrastructure for Geran-4/5, and what technological solutions the Defense Forces will use to defeat the new threat.

In 2026, we can look at technology outsourcing in a ten-year retrospective and see how fundamentally the very logic of creating startups has changed: from what the client comes to the contractor with to what he pays for. The biggest change in the past decade has not been the ability of outsourcing companies to write code, but what the client is willing to pay for it. In 2016, value was measured by the speed of turning an idea into a product. In 2026, this work is largely done by AI, and the competitive advantage is what AI cannot yet replicate: domain expertise, architectural solutions, market understanding, and a willingness to take responsibility for the result, not just the code.

Hello! It’s Friday again, which means #Vsrativakansii is on air — a selection of strange, illogical, funny, and even humiliating offers from employers. Today we summarize the results of August — not the most active month for hiring, however, here too companies managed to surprise job seekers. Today we will remember not only vacancies that trigger, but also interviews and tests, which sometimes make you sick.

Part 1. Waiting tactics, the illusion of quick riches and crypto fundamentals from Andrey Makarov (Incrypted)

In Threads, a mobilized IT guy with the nickname oncceuponatime_dude keeps a diary about how he ended up in the army. We’ve already told you about his experience from «gentle busification» and a night in the CCK barracks to his first day in the battalion . In the second part of the AIT man’s confessions and discoveries, he talked about the BZVP, «NATO shots on the lips,» and «playing stormtroopers.» In the third part of the diary, the AIT member shared his thoughts on why those who were converted to the military did not flee the army, how different the conditions of service are in the staff and infantry, and weapons in the blanket. The fourth part of his observations — about intimidation in the army and the redeployment of the unit — is not without surprises . The fifth part of the frankness is about intimidation in the army, losses, and life in a front-line city. A hearty portion of confessions and revelations — about thoughts about the SZCh, the fear of being transferred to the infantry, and the desire to escape from Ukraine. Today, an IT expert talks about the specifics of a clerk’s job and army rituals that mentally return soldiers to their former lives.

A team of 40 engineers can be a large project for a customer and one of dozens of accounts for a global IT vendor. When something goes wrong, the difference becomes noticeable: the response goes through several levels of approval, the search for the right specialist is delayed, and the person capable of making the decision has almost no contact with the customer.

While part of the global IT market is debating whether to return people to offices en masse, in Ukraine this issue has long been resolved — just not in the way it seems at first glance. Here, the format of work is determined not by corporate fashion, but by simpler and more difficult logic: will a person get to work in the morning if there was shelling at night, is there a place to hide during an alarm, and will the office withstand another blackout. dev.ua spoke with IT companies in Ukraine about how they deal with this issue today. And while each has its own wording, the approach at Ciklum, Levi9, EPAM, ZONE3000, SoftServe, and Railsware turned out to be surprisingly common: no hard and fast rules, but instead trust in the team and infrastructure in case things don’t go according to plan.

Hello, I previously wrote on dev.ua that the IT company Insiders (also known as LogicCraft and NextOne Technologies) organized a network of almost 100 "Senior" accounts with fake experience on LinkedIn. I urge Ukrainian IT companies to complain about these accounts on LinkedIn, because this is parasitism on their brand.

“Loan at 0% in 5 minutes. Without references, checks and with any credit history” — such an ad in the social media feed easily attracts attention. For a person who finds himself in a difficult situation or urgently needs money, this seems like a lifeline. However, experts from the Ukrainian Interbank Association of Payment Systems Members (EMA) warn: behind the beautiful banner hides one of the most dangerous digital fraud schemes. In this game, scammers aren't interested in the few hundred hryvnias that are on your card right now. Much more valuable is your digital dossier. Once they have it, they can build up real loans in your name with dozens of other companies.

Selling an apartment to create your own product is a decision that is difficult to explain in an Excel spreadsheet or a presentation to investors. But that is exactly what Ukrainian IT professionals did when they decided to put all their savings into their own idea. In 2022, the war forced Orest and his fiancée Maria to leave Kharkiv. They first moved to Kyiv, then to Warsaw. To start a new life, the couple sold their apartment in Kharkiv and decided to invest all the proceeds not in new real estate, but in their own IT product. This is how Cibo was born, a food tracking app that the developers created primarily for themselves. Maria, a Java developer, was responsible for the technical part and design, and Orest, with ten years of experience in game development, was responsible for the idea and product development. Today, Cibo has 140 users, 15 paid subscriptions, and is growing exclusively organically so far. The team plans to launch its first paid marketing on September 1st. dev.ua talked to Orest about how to sell an apartment and put everything on their own product, why they decided to create another calorie tracker, and whether it is possible to build a global application, starting virtually from scratch in Warsaw.

Serhiy Kolozenko — Founder and CEO Megasite . Over the past 16 years of working in IT, he has seen more than once how the requirements for young professionals are changing and what knowledge they bring after graduation. In his column, Serhiy talks about what universities don't have time to give to future developers, what Megasite looks for when hiring junior specialists, and why a personal project can sometimes say more about a candidate than grades in a diploma.

Hello everyone. My name is Maksym, I am the Head of Platform and Application Security at SharksCode, a Ukrainian licensed IT company that develops high-tech software solutions and platforms for B2B according to Western standards and international principles. Now I’ll talk a little about information and cybersecurity. More precisely, about my vision of how to make your project or product more secure. It would be nice to start with a real case from my own experience, but there is a nuance here — all cases are different, as are the losses from them. Therefore, instead of one story, I will try to give advice that can be applied regardless of scale.

Ukrainian indie developer and military serviceman Stas Shostak announced his new project — an atmospheric game Hear My Light about a brother and sister in a bioweapon attack zone. In a long interview for dev.ua, the author of the hit Titan Chaser talked about the mechanics of controlling drones in the new game, creating games alone during military service, the feasibility of using AI for development, and also shared his thoughts on trends in Ukrainian game development and how his experience working with game engines helped him in artillery calculations.

AI expert Alexey Minakov tested xAI's new Grok Bot tool for team management and shared his impressions on the blog.

The current CDTO of the Ministry of Veterans Affairs, Oleh Shymansky, has already managed to participate in the launch of a number of the most well-known digital products in Ukraine — while still working at the Ministry of Defense, he attracted international support for the creation of «Army+», «Reserve+», «eVLK», and the «Oberig» registry. Now he has other tasks at the Ministry of Veterans — together with his team, he is developing a veterans registry, a platform with opportunities for veterans veteranpro.gov.ua and digital services for veterans in «Diya», transferring state processes from paper to online, building a CRM system for veteran support specialists and implementing AI tools in veteran services. A separate direction is data, cybersecurity and international partnerships, thanks to which a significant part of new digital products are created.

Hello, community. With you again Serhiy Nemchinsky. Briefly about me: 30 years in IT, of which 15 — as a team leader. I went from junior developer to owner and CEO of the IT professions training center FoxmindEd, and I also host my own YouTube channel about IT. In my reflections on how AI is impacting the development industry, I try to consider current trends and extrapolate them to the future. But today I will also have to look to the past.

To teach his 10-year-old daughter Lada not just to consume content, but also to create her own product solutions, Marketing Team Lead Oleksandr Sukhomlyn decided to launch a joint educational project. Together, they went through the entire process of developing a browser game — from coming up with a concept and choosing a domain to releasing, marketing, and deploying a full-fledged infrastructure. The main "architect" and "coder" was Claude Code, who generated about 36,000 lines of code in over 100 versions, while Lada guided the process using a voice AI tool specially developed for her by her father. As a result, the girl gained something much more valuable than programming skills — she learned to clearly formulate her thoughts, analyze results, and changed her position from a passive consumer to an author capable of influencing the digital world.
