When a Focus mode is active, a new button on the Lock Screen would let users switch modes without digging through Settings, streamlining how people manage notifications and availability.

OpenAI's ChatGPT has taken on a new legal status in the European Union, and observers say the change reveals a deeper problem in how AI products are built. The discussion centres on how a simple feature — a 'search the web' toggle behind a chatbot — shows that a product's interface can stay almost unchanged while its underlying architecture, and its regulatory obligations, shift dramatically underneath.

Researchers report engineering synthetic proteins that can toggle their function in response to kinase signals, according to a paper published in Nature. The work points to new ways of building protein-based tools that respond to cellular phosphorylation cues, a mechanism central to cell signalling. It is expected to interest synthetic biologists and drug developers, though details of applications and validation are not yet outlined.

Electric and hybrid vehicles accounted for 52% of car sales in Turkey over the first nine months of the year, according to figures reported by Turkish media. The milestone underscores how quickly electrified models are taking over the Turkish market, which has been one of Europe's fastest-growing automotive markets amid price incentives and new entrants like Tesla and domestic EV brand Togg.

Apple is simplifying how iPhone users switch Focus Modes, allowing faster toggling directly from the Lock Screen. The change means people can mute notifications or shift between work and personal profiles with fewer taps. Coverage highlights this as a quality-of-life improvement for managing distractions on recent iPhone models.

A pair of apps for the iPhone adds quick Focus mode toggles directly to the Lock Screen, letting users switch between Do Not Disturb, Work, Sleep and other Focus modes without digging through Settings.
