An iPhone 17 Pro survived a fall from over 30,000 meters altitude, being subjected to an extreme test that took place in northern Sweden. The device managed to withstand the harsh conditions of Earth's atmosphere during descent.

'Sedentary face': why the expression became a trend on social media?

The term "sedentary face" went viral on social media to describe a face with little facial movement, emerging in contrast to the previous aesthetic that valued softened lines as a sign of well-done procedures. The trend reflects a change in consumer behavior, who now seek a more natural and expressive appearance. This phenomenon boosted the popularity of practices such as facial yoga, gua sha, and the use of rollers and massagers, widely shared in self-care videos, which promise a more relaxed and less swollen face, although their effects are generally temporary and need to be evaluated with caution.
