itel spent weeks teasing its new A300C model and it is finally go time. This is a rugged-but-affordable Android 16 Go Edition phone – it costs ₹11,000 and comes with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. That isn’t much, of course, but the phone supports microSD cards up to 2TB, so you can add as much storage as you like. The phone has a MIL-STD-810H certification (it has been drop tested). However, it lacks an official dust and water resistance rating. On the plus side, itel offers a free screen replacement for the first 100 days after you buy the phone. The itel A300C has a 6.56” 90Hz...

Motorola's Signature, its current flagship smartphone, came out in January, and now the company is almost ready to reveal its successor, the Signature 27. Motorola started teasing the upcoming device earlier this month, and today it has announced its unveiling date: September 22. That is also when Qualcomm is expected to unveil the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 and the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 Pro chipsets, during its Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii. Motorola specifically calls out the Snapdragon Summit, so it looks like the Signature 27 using one of those chips is a given. There’s more to...

Transitioning from years of working in a senior technical or executive role to a leadership position is one of the most challenging phases of a STEM career. It requires moving away from making decisions on your own to mentoring others, making strategic decisions for the organization, and collaborating with coworkers from different generations. The shift in mindset is known as “legacy leadership,” a philosophy whereby success is no longer measured by personal achievements but by how effectively a senior leader empowers others. To help seasoned professionals and senior experts navigate the transition, the inaugural IEEE International Leadership Conference (ILC) will provide attendees practical advice on cultivating collaborations and guiding emerging talent. “Early in our STEM careers, we measure success by what we have achieved,” says Jeewika Ranaweera , cochair of the IEEE ILC program committee. “Later, we should measure success by what we enable, how many people we mentor, how much knowledge we transfer, and how many doors we open for the next generation.” The ILC is scheduled for 3 and 4 October in Budapest. Registration is open . Letting go of the “expert” identity For decades, seasoned technologists have been valued primarily for their technical expertise. Shifting from that identity can feel uncomfortable, but legacy leadership requires measuring success by different standards. They include a leader’s influence on the staff, the ability to uphold the company’s mission, and empowering others to lead and succeed. The transition requires leaders to find purpose outside their corporate titles, shifting their focus to the long-term sustainability of their teams, their organization, and the broader technical community. “A professional legacy is not measured only by what we have achieved but also by sharing our knowledge, experience, and opportunities with others,” says Sudhanshu S. Jamuar , another program committee cochair. “The real transition from expert to a legacy builder happens when we stop asking, ‘What more can I accomplish myself?’ and start asking, ‘How many others can I enable to accomplish more?’” Neeli Rashmi Prasad , IEEE ILC treasurer and sponsorship cochair, adds that the transition transforms a lifetime of technical work into a platform for future innovation. “The true value of experience is not in how much knowledge we accumulate but in how intentionally we transfer it,” Prasad says. “When we partner with, mentor, and create space for others to lead, our expertise becomes a foundation for progress far beyond our own careers.” Moving beyond advice-giving True knowledge transfer requires coaching rather than advising, and mastering the art of active listening. To build deep trust with early-career colleagues and ensure a seamless transfer of leadership to the next generation, senior leaders must avoid offering unsolicited or outdated anecdotes. Effective mentorship is a collaborative loop in which senior experts contribute hard-won industry wisdom while remaining curious and learning from the fresh, cutting-edge perspectives of talented coworkers. “Knowledge transfer is most powerful when it is a two-way bridge: experience flows from one generation to the next, while new ideas and perspectives flow back,” says Sudeendra Koushik, president of the IEEE Technology and Engineering Management Society and an ILC keynote speaker. “This approach transforms mentorship from simply passing on information into one where the next generation can question, experiment, innovate, and ultimately surpass what came before them.” Seasoned professionals should encourage independent, disruptive thinkers rather than carbon copies of themselves, Prasad says. “Legacy leadership is about building continuity,” she says. “We should not simply prepare the next generation to follow the paths we created; we should give them the confidence, knowledge, and networks to challenge those paths, create new ones, and take technology further than we imagined.” Designing your next chapter Leadership does not need to stop when one’s job ends; it can evolve. Seasoned, retired professionals can continue contributing meaningful service through pathways that align with their personal passions. They include: Advisory boards: steering corporate, technical, or community organizations. Civic engagement: applying engineering methodologies to solve community challenges. Volunteerism: mentoring the next generation of grassroots innovators through professional networks including IEEE. Those pathways offer experienced professionals an opportunity to redefine success, not in terms of position, authority, or personal achievement but in terms of sustained impact. “Retirement from a job should never mean retirement from purpose,” Koushik says. “Our experience becomes even more valuable when we use it in service of the profession, society, and the generation that follows.” At the same time, the collaborative continuum relies on a proactive younger generation. Emerging leaders need to take responsibility for building their professional connections, Prasad says, advising: “Be bold, stay curious, and build your network early!” A space for continuity The conference is designed to combine a drive to cultivate emerging innovators with a deep reservoir of industry stewardship and strategic perspective. Rather than a single classroom session, the conference will feature a dedicated career-readiness and mentorship track where attendees can explore practical frameworks for building strategic professional networks, connecting with peer advocates, and establishing reciprocal knowledge-sharing opportunities across generations. By participating, seasoned professionals can ensure their decades of expertise continue to yield dividends for generations to come. “Our professional legacy is not the technology we build, the titles we earn, or the awards we receive,” Ranaweera says. “It is the knowledge we share, the lives we influence, and the future we help others create.” You can view the agenda, read speaker biographies, and secure your seat at the ILC online .

The iPhone 18 Pro Max could very well have been called the 17S Pro Max. It brings a chip update, some minor tweaks to the camera and new colors. Back in the day that basically amounted to an S-series update but Apple insists on a whole number update and in the midst of the global memory chip shortage is asking $100/€150/£100 more than last year's 17 Pro Max. There’s not much to talk about in terms of the unboxing experience. You still get a USB-C cable, which is … nice.
