YOU WON'T BELIEVE These iPhone 17 Pro Max Leaks
Watch this video on YouTube. Design Overhaul: A Fresh Take on Form and Function
Apple is reportedly making a notable shift in materials, transitioning from titanium to aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro models. This change is expected to result in a lighter and more ergonomic device, though it may slightly reduce scratch resistance compared to its predecessor. The design also features squared-off edges, which not only enhance grip but also give the device a modern, industrial aesthetic. Additionally, a larger camera module highlights Apple's continued emphasis on photography and videography.
For users who value personalization, Apple is introducing two new color options—darker blue and orange—to complement the classic black, white, and gray finishes. These new shades aim to strike a balance between boldness and sophistication, making sure the device appeals to a wide range of tastes. The combination of updated materials, refined edges, and fresh color choices underscores Apple's commitment to blending style with practicality. Battery and Display: Enhancements for Everyday Use
The iPhone 17 Pro Max is expected to feature a slightly thicker design, allowing for the inclusion of a larger battery capacity. Reports suggest the Pro Max model could exceed 5,000mAh, offering extended battery life that caters to power users who rely on their devices for work, entertainment, and communication throughout the day. This improvement could reduce the need for frequent charging, making the device more convenient for on-the-go use.
On the display side, Apple is reportedly incorporating anti-reflective technology, inspired by its advancements in nano-texture coatings. This feature could significantly improve screen visibility in bright environments, such as direct sunlight, enhancing usability for outdoor activities. Combined with Apple's signature high-resolution OLED panels, the display upgrades aim to deliver a more immersive and user-friendly viewing experience. Camera Innovations: Elevating Mobile Photography
The iPhone 17 Pro series is set to introduce new camera enhancements, further solidifying its reputation as a leader in mobile photography. A 48MP telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom is expected to be a standout feature, allowing users to capture distant subjects with remarkable clarity and detail. This capability could be particularly appealing for wildlife photographers, travelers, and anyone who values high-quality zoom functionality.
The front-facing camera is also receiving a significant upgrade, moving to a 24MP sensor. This improvement promises sharper selfies and better performance in low-light conditions, making it ideal for social media enthusiasts and video callers. For video creators, the addition of dual recording functionality—allowing simultaneous use of the front and rear cameras—opens up new possibilities for storytelling and content creation. Furthermore, support for 8K video recording ensures ultra-high-definition footage, catering to professionals and hobbyists alike. Performance: Powering the Future
At the heart of the iPhone 17 Pro is the A19 Pro chip, which is expected to deliver a 25-30% performance boost compared to the previous generation. This processor, paired with 12GB of RAM, is designed to handle demanding applications, multitasking, and gaming with ease. Whether you're editing videos, running complex apps, or enjoying graphically intensive games, the A19 Pro chip aims to provide a seamless and responsive experience.
To address heat management during intensive tasks, Apple is introducing vapor chamber cooling technology. This system is designed to dissipate heat more effectively, making sure consistent performance even under heavy workloads. By maintaining optimal temperatures, the iPhone 17 Pro series could offer smoother operation and greater reliability for users who push their devices to the limit. Pricing: What to Expect
With these substantial upgrades, Apple is implementing a $50 price increase for both the Pro and Pro Max models. While this adjustment may seem modest, it's important to evaluate how the added features align with your specific needs. For users who prioritize advanced photography, extended battery life, and innovative performance, the price increase could represent a worthwhile investment. However, regional pricing variations are expected, so checking local availability and costs will be essential before making a purchase decision. How These Updates Impact You
The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are designed to deliver a premium smartphone experience, combining innovative technology with thoughtful design. Whether you're drawn to the enhanced cameras, improved display, or powerful performance, these devices cater to users who demand the best from their mobile devices. The larger battery and anti-reflective display aim to improve everyday usability, while the advanced camera system and A19 Pro chip position the iPhone 17 Pro series as a versatile tool for both work and play.
While the price increase may prompt some hesitation, the upgrades could make these models a worthwhile investment, particularly for users who rely on their smartphones for photography, gaming, or productivity. By offering a blend of innovation and practicality, the iPhone 17 Pro series sets a new benchmark for what a smartphone can achieve.

Elon Musk faces court showdown with OpenAI after judge's ruling
Elon Musk has failed in an attempt to have OpenAI's claims of a 'years-long harassment campaign' by him dismissed by a federal judge. The Tesla chief executive will have to face allegations in court that he attempted to harm OpenAI through press statements, social media posts, legal claims and 'a sham bid for OpenAI's assets'. Musk co-founded OpenAI in 2015 but left the company before its ChatGPT product became a global phenomenon. The billionaire sued OpenAI and its chief executive, Sam Altman, last year over the company's transition to a for-profit model, accusing the company of straying from its founding mission of developing AI for the good of humanity, not profit. OpenAI countersued Musk in April, accusing the billionaire of engaging in fraudulent business practices under California law. Musk then asked for OpenAI's counterclaims to be dismissed or delayed until a later stage in the case. OpenAI argued in May that its countersuit should not be put on hold. US district judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers concluded on Tuesday that the company's allegations were legally sufficient to proceed. A jury trial has been scheduled for spring 2026. Separately, Musk said on Monday that he would take legal action against Apple, accusing the iPhone maker of breaching antitrust regulations by favouring OpenAI over xAI, his own company, in its App Store rankings. 'Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store, which is an unequivocal antitrust violation. xAI will take immediate legal action,' Musk said in a post on his social media platform X. Altman responded on X: 'This is a remarkable claim given what I have heard alleged that Elon does to manipulate X to benefit himself and his own companies and harm his competitors and people he doesn't like.' OpenAI's ChatGPT currently holds the top spot in the App Store's 'Top Free Apps' section in the US, while xAI's Grok ranks fifth. Musk said in an earlier post: 'Hey @Apple App Store, why do you refuse to put either X or Grok in your 'Must Have' section when X is the #1 news app in the world and Grok is #5 among all apps? Are you playing politics?'

From Wall Street to academia, who is in Trump's line of fire?
August 13 - U.S. President Donald Trump has escalated his criticism and actions against executives, corporations and institutions alike. His unprecedented actions, from novel export deals to frozen university grants, have upended the status quo between the government, law, academia and corporate America. Earlier this week, Trump questioned if Goldman Sachs CEO David Solomon should remain at the helm, slamming him for the bank's prediction that tariffs would hurt the U.S. economy. Here are some influential figures and entities that Trump has publicly criticized: GOLDMAN SACHS (GS.N), opens new tab Goldman's economic research arm had published a note earlier that said U.S. consumers had absorbed 22% of tariff costs through June, and their share could rise to 67% if the recent levies follow the same pattern as the earliest ones. "David Solomon and Goldman Sachs refuse to give credit where credit is due," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, shortly thereafter. Trump said it was mostly "companies and governments, many of them foreign, picking up the tabs". He also took a dig at Solomon for his former DJ-ing hobby. INTEL (INTC.O), opens new tab Trump recently demanded Intel CEO Lip-Bu Tan step down due to China ties. Reuters exclusively in April that Tan at least $200 million in hundreds of Chinese advanced manufacturing and chip firms, some of which were linked to the Chinese military. "The CEO of INTEL is highly CONFLICTED and must resign, immediately. There is no other solution to this problem," Trump said in a post on his Truth Social platform. Tan responded to Trump, saying he shared the president's commitment to advancing U.S. national and economic security and that the Intel board was "fully supportive of the work we are doing to transform our company." After a meeting between the two earlier this week, Trump praised Tan. TESLA (TSLA.O), opens new tab The EV giant's billionaire tech CEO Elon Musk spent hundreds of millions of dollars supporting Trump's re-election, a move investors who bid up Tesla stock expected to benefit Musk's empire. Trump and Musk, however, had a falling out early in June after Musk criticized Trump's sweeping tax-cut and spending bill, because it was projected to increase federal debt. Trump responded to Musk's attack on Truth Social, threatening to cut federal subsidies and contracts to Musk's companies and saying the billionaire "just went CRAZY" after losing the EV mandate in the bill. Trump criticized Jaguar's rebranding effort in August, calling the campaign "woke" and "stupid," and linking it to the departure of the company's CEO. The remarks from Trump came as the British carmaker, now owned by India's Tata Motors ( opens new tab, announced the retirement of CEO Adrian Mardell, who spent more than three decades at the company. Jaguar last year unveiled a new logo and visual identity as part of a broader brand refresh aimed at repositioning itself as an all-electric automaker, a move that drew sharp online backlash and criticism from brand loyalists. APPLE (AAPL.O), opens new tab Trump has repeatedly targeted Apple and its boss, Tim Cook, for making U.S.-sold iPhones outside the country and has threatened company-specific tariffs. In May, Trump recalled after a meeting in the Qatari capital Doha, that he had confronted Cook about shifting production to India, amid the company's plans to make most of its iPhones sold in the U.S. at factories in India by the end of 2026. Trump had said in a social media post that he told Cook "long ago" that "I expect their iPhones that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else." Earlier this week, though, Trump announced Apple would invest an additional $100 billion in the U.S., raising Apple's total domestic commitment to $600 billion over the next four years. Cook also gave Trump a U.S.-made souvenir with a 24-karat gold base. (AMZN.O), opens new tab Trump called Amazon's former CEO Jeff Bezos in April to complain about a news report that said the company planned to display prices showing tariffs' impact on ecommerce giant However, Amazon said it had only briefly considered listing import charges for some goods in April following Trump's tariff announcement but dropped the plan as the White House accused the company of a "hostile political act." Trump later told reporters that Bezos had solved the problem "very quickly" and was "very nice." BANK OF AMERICA (BAC.N), opens new tab AND JPMORGAN CHASE (JPM.N), opens new tab Trump alleged BofA CEO Brian Moynihan and JPMorgan chief Jamie Dimon discriminated against him and his supporters. Earlier he had said they did not provide banking services to conservatives. "What you're doing is wrong," Trump said, in a video address at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Trump did not cite evidence or specifics of any wrongdoing, in a question-and-answer session with corporate leaders and CEOs assembled on stage. He also referenced JPMorgan's Dimon. "You and Jamie and everybody, I hope you're gonna open your bank to conservatives." Both lenders have denied the allegations of "debanking" on multiple occasions. WALMART (WMT.N), opens new tab Trump said in May that Walmart and China should "eat the tariffs" and not burden American shoppers, after Walmart CEO Doug McMillon said the retailer could not absorb all tariff-related costs because of narrow retail margins. "Walmart should STOP trying to blame Tariffs as the reason for raising prices throughout the chain. Walmart made BILLIONS OF DOLLARS last year, far more than expected," Trump said in a social media post. While Trump did not call out McMillon personally, he publicly criticized Walmart for attributing its price hikes in May to tariffs imposed by his administration. SMITHSONIAN INSTITUTION: The White House has said it will lead an internal review of some Smithsonian museums and exhibitions ahead of the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Declaration of Independence. In an executive order in March, Trump said the institution had come under the influence of a "divisive, race-centered ideology" in recent years. Trump targeted the country's oldest and richest university, canceling about $2.5 billion federal grants and mounted efforts to cut off research funding to Harvard, as a part of a larger campaign to force change at U.S. universities, which Trump says are gripped by antisemitic and "radical left" ideologies. "We are going to be taking away Harvard's Tax Exempt Status. It's what they deserve!" Trump wrote in a post on his social media platform in May. In March, the Trump administration said it was penalizing Columbia over how it handled last year's protests by canceling $400 million in federal funding. "This is the first arrest of many to come. We know there are more students at Columbia and other Universities across the Country who have engaged in pro-terrorist, anti-Semitic, anti-American activity, and the Trump Administration will not tolerate it." Trump had said in a social media post after the arrest of a Palestinian graduate student Mahmoud Khalil played a prominent role in the protests. Later in July, the university said it will pay over $200 million to the U.S. government in a settlement with Trump's administration. Trump targeted law firm Perkins Coie in March with an executive order that suspended security clearances for its employees and restricted their access to federal buildings over its ties to Hillary Clinton and DEI policies. Trump had said it was "an absolute honor to sign" the order. Trump also targeted New York law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison in March with a similar order, which he later withdrew after striking a deal. Law firm Covington & Burling faced Trump's presidential memorandum in February, which suspended security clearances for Peter Koski and all Covington employees who assisted former special counsel Jack Smith, who prosecuted Trump. Covington had said it would continue representing Jack Smith despite these measures. "We're going to continue holding the people who were responsible for the weaponization of government - who supported it - accountable," Trump had said.
