Political lean describes where an outlet sits within the politics of its own country. It is never a position on a single global scale.

Political lean is comparable inside one country and not across them, which is why the bar groups by country first. Publicly funded broadcasters are not marked as state-linked.

The owner of each outlet is listed as a matter of record, not as a judgement about the outlet.

Every outlet covering this story shares the same political lean; read with that in mind.

Apple has launched the iPhone 18 Pro, featuring the new A20 Pro chip and updated camera capabilities. The A20 Pro is the first 2 nm chip for the iPhone, consisting of a 6 core CPU with two super cores that are up to 20 percent faster and four efficiency cores. The device also includes a 7 core GPU with up to 40 percent improved performance and a new Neural Engine that Apple describes as two Neural Engines on one chip. The new camera features focus on providing users with more direct control over images, including a variable camera aperture, to reduce reliance on computational photography. Additionally, Apple highlighted Apple Intelligence and the upcoming Siri AI, which is scheduled to arrive in October. The company emphasized that the iPhone is an ideal platform for AI context while maintaining user privacy.
