According to The Indian Express, police in West Bengal, India reported that a couple really wanted the new iPhone 14 that they sold their eight-month-old baby to get the funds. Yes! You read that right. They sold their baby so they could afford the latest Apple phone.
Who Is This Couple And Why Did They Want The iPhone
The couple are Jaydev Ghosh and Sathi. The two sold their baby to a Priyanka Gosh, who lived in the same village. Priyanka and the babies mother were both arrested. Sathi admitted to police that her and her partner sold their 8-month-old baby to Priyanka for about $1,600. This raised suspicion from The World Bank because the area the couple is from is known for it's high poverty rate. The $1,600 was just a little over the cost of the iPhone.
Sathi said they really needed the iPhone because they planned to use the phone to create content for their Instagram page. They noticed how people would make money on social media for their posts and wanted to get in on the action. They also planned to travel around and capture the content with their iPhone.
What Happened To The Baby And The Couple?
Not only did they sell their baby for money, the baby's father also tried to sell their other baby that was seven-years-old. That sale ended up not happening. Jaydev is currently on the run. When he found out his wife and Priyanka were arrested, he fled. As for the baby, it was rescued by the police and was put into protective care until the whole situation is sorted out.

Apple Changing Its Autocorrect So You Don’t Duck Up Your Texts
Autocorrect! The greatest thing since sliced bread - and the worst thing since Olestra. (If you ate the chips, you know. If you didn't, you dodged a bullet).
Apple is now making autocorrect what it should be - an aid to help you spell your swear words CORRECTLY.
At Apple's Worldwide Developers Conference Apple made some big announcements. they also unveiled their new VR headset. Experts are calling it a "game-changer." Especially for most of the guys who buy it, who may have no game to begin with.
Apple - a company that has advanced technology like no other company - has listened to the masses, and will be shifting over to an AI-powered autocorrect. People on social media are rejoicing, and commenting on how it will make it much easier to drop F-bombs, without your phone auto correcting it to "duck."
Be honest - when have you ever truly meant to write the word "ducking"? Unless you were literally squatting down - and how often do you do that after the age of 40?
Apple is shifting over to an AI-powered autocorrect, which is tailored to YOU, and YOUR voice, and not just to a dictionary. The update isn't immediate. But it will be available in the new iOS 17, which is coming out in a few months.
Autocorrect can be a problem for many. In-theory, it's a very useful tool, but more often than not it mucks - or "ducks" up - its job, and leads to unnecessary confusion. Its incompetence is legendarily documented on many sites.
Apple's software chief just announced the change, and joked, "In those moments where you just want to type a ducking word, well, the keyboard will learn it, too."
There are a lot of problems in our world right now, but autocorrect should NOT be one of them. Thank you Apple, for finally tackling something important!
Btw - here are the most auto corrected words. Not the end of the world - just annoying
Dear
“Dear” autocorrects to “dead.” A Dear John letter is neverfun, but it’s definitely preferable to a "Dead John" letter.

Were
"Were" to "We're." Autocorrect is very eager to help with contractions, even when no help is needed.

My
"My" to "Me." Makes you sound like a leprechaun: "Thanks for coming to me party!"

Of
“Of” to “If.” A common, but really annoying change.

Honey
"Honey" to "Hiney." Who calls their partner "hiney"???
