Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max To Pack Its Largest Battery Ever? Here's What The Reports Say
Last Updated: Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max could have some major changes this year but could it also get a battery upgrade? Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max is promising a host of upgrades when it launches in September but one of its biggest changes could also be its most important in years. The company seems to have focused on making the new iPhone 17 Pro lineup look different from its predecessor but the camera is also getting some neat additions, both on the software and hardware side. Now, a leak suggests Apple could change the internal dynamics of the iPhone 17 Pro Max by packing in a larger battery, its biggest on an iPhone ever. Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max Battery Upgrade The leak about the Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max getting a larger battery has been mentioned by a tipster from Korea this week. The leak even has the alleged iPhone 17 Pro Max render which suggests Apple could offer a 5,000mAh battery with its changed internals that allows the brand to accommodate a bigger unit. Last year's premium iPhone 16 Pro model had a 4,685mAh battery and if the mentioned bump does come through, it will be the same as Samsung's Galaxy S25 Ultra model that came out earlier this year. However, the charging speed for the new iPhone 17 Pro models is unlikely to change and no charger in the box once again. Apple is tipped to offer a new telephoto lens with up to 8x optical zoom which is higher than the 5x optical range available with the iPhone 16 Pro models. Apple is rumoured to be taking the camera bar route with the iPhone 17 Pro series and the leaks have vouched for the change. People have criticised the size of the camera bump for the last few years, this module will at least allow Apple to balance the profile at the back. The company is also expected to bring a new pro camera app which works for photos and videos. The report says the app will be designed to compete with other Pro-level iOS apps for the camera. Apple could bring a full set of 48MP sensors for its triple camera system with this year's iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max models. view comments First Published: August 18, 2025, 07:35 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.

Gamblers Now Bet on AI Models Like Racehorses
Now that AI developers are getting paid like pro athletes, it's fitting that fans are placing big bets on how well they're doing their jobs. Gamblers Now Bet on AI Models Like Racehorses On Kalshi, Polymarket and other sites where people wager 'predictions' on real-world events, gamblers lay down millions each month on their picks for AI's top model. The AI arms race is playing out in plain sight on social media, ranking sites and obscure corners of the internet where enthusiasts hunt for clues. The constant buzz makes the topic appealing for wagers, though not every scrap of information is meaningful. Foster McCoy made $10,000 in a few hours in early August by betting against the success of OpenAI's GPT-5 release. The 27-year-old day trader noticed people were misreading an online ranking site that appeared to hype GPT-5, so he put $4,500 on its competitor, Google's Gemini, to be 'Best AI This Month.' As more bettors fell in line with his call, he cashed out. That's just another day for McCoy, who has traded $3.2 million on Kalshi since the start of 2025—making $170,000. He's part of a growing contingent of bettors making hundreds of trades a week on AI markets, on a range of wagers such as 'Best AI at the end of 2025,' 'AI regulation becomes federal law this year,' and 'Will [Chief Executive] Sam Altman be granted an equity stake in OpenAI this year?' Trading volume across AI prediction markets has surged to around $20 million this month. Kalshi, the only platform currently available in the U.S., is seeing 10 times the volume on AI trades compared with the start of the year, a spokesman says. Each bet, or 'contract,' is priced in cents to reflect the odds: McCoy bought thousands of Gemini contracts at around 40 cents, meaning it had a 40% chance of winning. If the bet had settled and Gemini won, McCoy's 40 cents would become a dollar. If Gemini lost, McCoy would lose it all. But much of the action happens before the final outcome. As more people piled into the Gemini bet, the contract price rose. McCoy sold when it had reached 87 cents. It's like betting on a sports match, only with the option to cash out when the odds rise in favor of your bet. 'You're just betting against what the other guy knows,' says McCoy, who credits his success to 'being chronically online.' He trades from home on a triple-monitor setup tuned to the holy trinity of AI betting: X, Discord and LMArena, a leaderboard where people rate AI model performance in blind tests. Social-media beefs can be gold for gamblers. After GPT-5's debut, a flurry of Elon Musk posts claiming the superiority of his xAI Grok chatbot sent the 'Grok to Win' market up more than 500% within hours. Before long, it had fallen nearly all the way back down. Rishab Jain, a Harvard undergraduate, tracks back-end updates and obscure X posts to anticipate new AI model launches. Bettors end up down rabbit holes hunting for more obscure tidbits. Harvard undergraduate Rishab Jain often scans X accounts of lesser-known researchers. The day before GPT-5's release, OpenAI's Sam Altman posted an image of the Death Star from 'Star Wars.' When a researcher from Google's DeepMind replied with an image of the killer globe under attack, Jain read it as a sign of confidence from Gemini's makers. Jain also scrapes source files from Google's apps and monitors public GitHub repositories tied to its products, looking for back-end changes that might signal a soon-to-be-released Gemini model. 'I'm almost obsessively up-to-date with what's going on in this world,' Jain says. 'Google has so many products that need to integrate a new model before it officially launches, and you can see those changes happening in the back end if you know where to look.' Since starting in June, he has won $3,500. Strategies vary. Some bet on the big industry players, others buy low on less-known or soon-to-be-updated models. Some compare odds on Kalshi and Polymarket to find arbitrage opportunities in the odds. As volume for these AI trades continues to grow, the incentive for good information will only increase, and the squeeze on casual bettors will get tighter, says Robin Hanson, a professor of economics at George Mason University. 'When you have better information in these kinds of markets, you can make better decisions,' Hanson says. 'If you know a little more, you make more money.' For now, the markets still draw a mix of sharks like McCoy and Jain along with casual bettors. 'I'm just a dude that likes tech and has some time and money,' says James Cole, a 35-year-old who recently shut down a company he founded. 'I'm speculating with mostly instinct and 10 minutes of research.' He says he's up for the year…so far. Write to Ben Raab at Gamblers Now Bet on AI Models Like Racehorses

Building trust and confidence for agentic Artificial Intelligence
Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant promise-it's reshaping our lives right now. From diagnosing diseases to powering personalised learning and even orchestrating moments of commerce, AI's capabilities are unlocking new frontiers in productivity and human potential. Independence Day 2025 Modi signals new push for tech independence with local chips Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose gave India its own currency As we look ahead, there's no question that AI will be a driving force behind the commerce of tomorrow - enabling seamless, secure, and intelligent experiences that are only beginning to take shape. Yet, this future hinges on a crucial factor: trust. According to recent research from the Institute for the Future and Visa, global trust in AI companies has declined to 53%, down from 61% just five years ago. The path forward is clear: to truly realise AI's promise, we must close the trust gap and ensure these technologies are built responsibly, transparently, and with the interests of people at their core. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Struggling With Tinnitus? This May Surprise You Tinnitus Experts Undo Enabling Intelligent Commerce As we shared in our recent "Commerce of Tomorrow, Today" report, the next era of commerce will be driven by intelligent, interconnected experiences. Consumers are using AI to discover products, compare prices, and make purchases with unprecedented ease. The rise of commerce driven by agentic AI innovations-where AIpowered virtual assistants act on our behalf to shop, negotiate, and buy-will require new levels of authentication, verification, and trust. These agents will need to not only understand our preferences but act transparently and ethically as extensions of ourselves. Live Events Data, Intellectual Property Trust in AI begins with trust in how data is handled. Visa's global payments network is built on the responsible use of data-to prevent fraud, enhance security, and deliver value to our clients and consumers. Our data platform is one of the most sophisticated and secure in the world, and we take our stewardship responsibilities seriously. As AI systems become more powerful, companies must elevate their approach to data privacy and intellectual property. It's imperative to obtain consent, safeguard personal data, and prevent misuse. Implementing AI Responsibly The rise of agentic AI demands a new approach to technology deployment. Historically, the "move fast and break things" mentality has driven rapid innovation-but with AI, especially in sensitive domains like payments, healthcare, and news, safety and responsibility must come first. Empowering Consumer Control Building this responsible approach to AI requires putting the right infrastructure in place. Through our Visa Intelligent Commerce APIs, we're creating a framework where consumers maintain granular control over their data and AI interactions. Central to this approach is our use of data tokens, which create a secure layer between consumer information and AI systems. This allows for personalised, intelligent experiences without exposing sensitive personal data-giving consumers the benefits of AI-powered commerce while maintaining full control over their information. We're also working across the entire payments ecosystem-merchants, financial institutions, technology partners, and regulators-to establish industry standards for AI-driven commerce that prioritise consumer protection from the ground up. Rather than retrofitting privacy into existing systems, we're building these principles into the foundation of next-generation commerce infrastructure. This includes collaborating with policymakers to develop frameworks governing how AI agents interact with payment systems, what authentication is required for autonomous transactions, and how consumer rights are protected as commerce becomes increasingly automated. Trust for Future of Commerce Closing the AI trust gap is not a solo endeavor-it's a collective responsibility. As AI becomes more pervasive and more autonomous, we must define what we want these systems to do-and, just as importantly, what we do not want them to do. Governance, oversight, and continuous engagement are essential to shaping a future where AI expands, rather than erodes, human potential. (The author is President, Technology, at Visa. He will be speaking at The Economic Times World Leaders Forum in New Delhi)
