The way users charge their Apple devices in the future is getting a huge shakeup. In Tuesday's (12 September) Apple event, the technology company announced that the lightning cable is being replaced by USB-C with the introduction of the new iPhone 15 and 15 Pro. It marks a huge change, as the lighting cable has been used to charge Apple devices for the last decade. The USB-C cable can be used to power other Apple products such as the Mac and iPad.

More than four in five primary school teachers believe the attention span of children is shorter than it was pre-pandemic, a survey has found. More than two in three (70%) primary school teachers say that children’s classroom behaviour has worsened post-Covid, according to a poll commissioned by online subject resource Kapow Primary. The survey, of 504 primary and early years teachers in schools in England, found 84% agree that primary children’s attention span is “shorter than ever” post-Covid, while 69% say that they have seen an increase in inattention and daydreaming since their young pupils returned to school after the pandemic. One in five teachers report that they spend less than 10 minutes on average on any single activity to maintain their children’s attention, the survey found. The majority of teachers say pupils are more likely to move around the room post-Covid (57%), are quicker to complain about being bored (57%), and are more likely to annoy and provoke others in the classroom (55%). Some have lost the ability to sit as part of a large audience and focus on a message being shared with the whole school A teacher working at an East London primary school More than four in five (85%) teachers agree that the “ever-swiping nature of social media” has negatively affected pupils’ attention span. One Year 5 and 6 teacher working at a Derbyshire primary school, who asked not to be named, said: “Behaviour in class is very different post-Covid. We had to teach the children through a screen during the pandemic, but taking the screen away now has had a massive impact. “Daydreaming is a big issue for us, as is helping children re-learn some of their social skills. Little things like turn-taking got lost during Covid. We also have to do a lot more movement breaks to avoid the children from tuning out.” Another teacher, working at an east London primary school, said: “The conduct of many children in assemblies has been particularly symptomatic. Some have lost the ability to sit as part of a large audience and focus on a message being shared with the whole school.” The government must also do much more to understand the problems around behaviour and provide more investment and support to schools and families Tiffnie Harris, Association of School and College Leaders Vicky Cottrill-Gray, education content director at Kapow Primary, said: “Children lost so much in-school time during the pandemic. When they went back, they brought new behavioural challenges with them that teachers are still having to deal with.” Tiffnie Harris, primary and data specialist at the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: “The findings of this survey chime with what we are hearing from school leaders. “It appears that behaviour has become more challenging among some pupils and that this is caused by a number of factors. There seems to be a long-term impact of the disruption of the pandemic to normal routines and expectations. “On top of this is the rising incidence of mental health and wellbeing problems among children which is exacerbated by the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on families and the pressures created by social media.” She added: “The Government must also do much more to understand the problems around behaviour and provide more investment and support to schools and families.” A Department for Education spokesperson said: “Our approach to tackling behaviour in schools has been to support schools to develop a behaviour culture that works for them, their pupils, and their communities. “We have updated our Behaviour in Schools guidance to provide clear advice on how to create and maintain high standards and our £10 million Behaviour Hubs programme is supporting up to 700 schools to improve behaviour.” The survey of primary school and early years teachers was carried out between April and May this year by Gerard Kelly & Partners.

Margot Robbie pulled out all the fashion stops at the world premiere of Barbie, where she once again wore a red carpet ensemble inspired by the Mattel doll. The 33-year-old actor, who stars as the titular Barbie in the upcoming live-action film directed by Greta Gerwig, arrived at the Los Angeles premiere wearing a black sparkling dress that accurately resembled the 1960s Barbie’s Solo in the Spotlight outfit. The custom black Schiaparelli Haute Couture dress, which was embellished with sequins, featured a strapless neckline with a layered tulle hem, adorned with a single red rose. Much like the special edition doll, she accessorised the look with black opera gloves and a pink silk mousseline scarf. Robbie’s red carpet moment was finished with a pair of black Manolo Blahnik heels, diamond earrings, and a diamond choker necklace from Lorraine Schwartz. For a bit of old Hollywood glamour, she styled her hair in a ponytail with side-swept bangs and a touch of red lipstick. Her stylist, Andrew Mukamel, has been the mastermind behind Robbie’s Barbie-inspired press tour fashion. On Instagram, he confirmed the black sequin dress was an homage to the Solo in the Spotlight Barbie doll. In addition to Robbie, Ryan Gosling also attended the Los Angeles premiere of Barbie. The 42-year-old actor plays Barbie’s paramour, Ken, in the forthcoming film. For the event, Gosling arrived in a pink Gucci suit. However, it was his chain necklace with the letter “E” dangling from it – in the same typeface used for the film – that received praise from fans. Fans immediately noted the initial was in reference to Eva Mendes, with whom Gosling shares two children: Esmerelda, eight, and Amada, seven. “Ryan Gosling rocking not just a sexy little chain but a sexy little chain with a Barbie font E for Eva on it,” tweeted one person. “How cute wearing a necklace with an E for Eva. He really is making sure his wife feels secure,” added another. Early reactions to the Barbie movie have already rolled in, and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. Gosling was singled out as a “scene-stealing” highlight, while Variety’s social media editor Katcy Stephan wrote: “Greta Gerwig delivers a nuanced commentary on what it means to be a woman in a whimsical, wonderful and laugh-out-loud funny romp. The entire cast shines, especially Margot Robbie and Ryan Gosling in roles they were clearly born to play.” Throughout the press tour for the highly-anticipated movie, Margot Robbie has stunned in a number of Barbiecore looks. Just days before the Los Angeles event, she attended the Mexico City premiere in a pink leather Balmain minidress inspired by the “Earring Magic” Barbie doll from the ‘90s. In Seoul, Robbie wore two custom Versace looks inspired by the Mattel doll’s “Day to Night” ensemble from 1985. And while promoting the Barbie film at Sydney’s iconic Bondi Beach, her black and white striped minidress paid tribute to the first-ever Barbie doll, which was released in 1959. Barbie premieres in the US and UK on 21 July. The film also stars Issa Rae, America Ferrera, Emma Mackey, Michael Cera, Kate McKinnon, Simu Liu, Will Ferrell, and more.
