Another iPhone 17 Pro Max image leak has appeared
It shows off the expected redesign of the handset
The iPhone 17 phones are predicted to arrive in September
It looks increasingly likely that the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max are going to get a significant redesign, compared to the phones that they're replacing, and a new leak gives us another look at the refreshed chassis of the larger model.
Prolific tipster @MajinBuOfficial has shared an image of what look like metal molds ready to be used to manufacture the upcoming handset – and we also get the caption "iPhone 17 Pro Max is ready" alongside the picture.
We can see the large triple-lens rear camera in the top-left corner of the rear casing, and a cut-out to allow magnetic MagSafe connections for charging. The size of the camera protrusion reflects the larger camera bar that's expected to be on show.
Let's hope that the larger camera bar, and the extra space the cameras are taking up, means better quality photos and videos. Apple usually adds some year-on-year upgrades in terms of the iPhone cameras, and another bump would be welcome.
We don't get much more from this leak besides another look at the rear casing design, and the update that the phone is "ready" – presumably that means for mass production, because the expected launch date of September 2025 is now fast approaching.
There have already been plenty of leaks and rumors swirling around these phones. Aside from the Pro and Pro Max redesign, we should also see faster chipsets inside these handsets, and of course a final version of the yet-to-be-announced iOS 19 on board.
Features such as reverse wireless charging have also been rumored, as well as a bump up to 12GB of RAM for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max – perhaps to deal with some extra Apple Intelligence smarts coming down the line.
There will apparently be less that's new and exciting when it comes to the standard iPhone 17, though we are expecting a new model in the shape of the iPhone 17 Air – a super-slim model that's being tipped to take over from the iPhone 16 Plus.

New iPhone And iPad Warning: YouTube Just Canceled Support For These Models
YouTube has just updated its app for iPhone, iPad and iPod touch. It means that eight devices which until today could run the latest version, can do so no longer. Here are the affected devices and what it means. YouTube on iPhone The update has arrived just days before Apple's annual World Wide Developers Conference. On Monday, June 3, Apple announced details for how to watch next week's keynote on Apple's YouTube channel. The new update, which is version 20.22.1, requires iOS 16 and iPadOS 16, which means there are five iPhones and two iPads affected by this. The iPhones that aren't compatible with the new version of YouTube are iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus, which first launched in 2014, iPhone 6s and iPhone 6s Plus from 2015 and the original iPhone SE from 2016. All these phones are capable of running iOS 15 but no later. Similarly, the requirement for iPadOS 16 means the latest YouTube update won't run on the iPad Air 2 (released in 2014) and iPad mini 4, first sold in 2015. Finally, the iPod touch 7, the last iPod Apple released, first came out in 2019 and was discontinued in 2022. It doesn't support iOS 16, so it won't work with the new update. If you have one of the above devices, you can't update to the new version. However, the older version of the app will continue working, so you can still use it. It won't receive new features or updates, and eventually, YouTube will stop supporting these older versions so they will stop working eventually. YouTube on the web is another option, though that is neither as feature-packed nor as convenient as the app. Apple products are well-built and durable, so there are surely plenty of these devices, especially the long-lasting iPads, still in use. That said, the most recent iPhone affected was first released nine years ago, and discontinued six years ago.

Apple TV 4K is still the best streaming box when it comes to privacy
New evidence suggests the Apple TV 4K might be home to the most privacy-protected display interface in the market. In a recent breakdown by Ars Technica, the website revealed that certain ad-related settings are turned off by default or are totally non-existent on the platform. One of those key missing features is ACR, which stands for Automatic Content Recognition. It's a new feature cropping up on several new smart TVs, allowing TV makers increased access into your daily viewing habits. It's not on the Apple TV 4K, though. Like on iPhone, tvOS applications must ask you before they collect data, and all the data that is collected is totally anonymized. It's not the perfect system, but if you're concerned about your privacy, Apple TV 4K continues to prove itself as one of the best streaming devices. As ACR crops up on many of its rivals, Apple has stayed clear from the feature entirely. Most TV manufacturers use vastly different names for it, but the concept remains the same: collecting viewing habits to target specific ads that meet your interests. But it's not just ACR the Apple TV 4K excludes. Have you ever noticed the messages that crop up whenever you first boot up a new app on an Apple device? iPhone and iPad users might be most accustomed to it, but it essentially makes third-party app providers ask if you're OK with them collecting analytics data and using location services before they start up. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. These opt-out measures are a huge game changer and puts privacy concerns to bed for the wary. Apple TV 4K also allows you to turn off other data collecting services like Siri on tvOS. Apple can keep Siri transcripts on its servers for a set period of around six months, however there's nothing stopping you from disabling Siri outright . Although Apple TV 4K might be the most privacy-protected of all the streaming devices, it's not a full-proof experience. You will still have some privacy concerns to deal with, largely stemming from Apple accounts and the TV application. Search terms are a big one, as is your general history, but you can even disable personalized recommendations if you wanted to. These sort of make sense, though, as they're not necessarily targeting you nefariously to sell you ads but gain a better understanding of your viewing history to better improve Apple's own recommendations. Meanwhile, you have companies like Roku and LG devising some of the most dystopian methods of gaining a better understanding of your viewing habits: LG TVs are about to show you ads based on your emotions, which is terrifying to think about. Roku's no better, patenting all kinds of ways to ensure its platform remains ad-rich. That's what makes Apple stand out. Despite several flaws and a rather high price, the Apple TV 4K is one of the best ways to bypass ad-heavy platforms and keep your viewing habits as private as possible. Hopefully, the rumored Apple TV 4K refresh takes a similar approach to this success.

AI Demand Explodes--but TSMC Warns of Risks Investors Can't Ignore
TSMC (NYSE:TSM), the world's top chip foundry, is walking a tightropenavigating rising U.S. tariffs, political headwinds, and China's growing aggression toward Taiwan. But even with those risks looming, the company says it's still chasing down AI demand that refuses to cool off. At the annual shareholder meeting in Hsinchu, CEO C.C. Wei told investors that while tariffs could nudge prices higher and chip demand lower, TSMC hasn't seen customer orders drop off. In his words: AI demand has always been very strongand it's consistently outpacing supply. That surge in demand could be what's keeping the floor under TSMC's growth story. Wei doubled down on the chipmaker's bullish 2025 outlook, citing robust orders tied to AI use caseswhere companies like Apple and Nvidia continue to lean heavily on TSMC's most advanced nodes. He noted that TSMC's top priority right now is simply producing enough chips to meet that growing appetite. Working hard, Wei said, is code for we still don't have enough. He also dismissed rumors of a UAE factory, and confirmed the company is staying tightly aligned with U.S. and Taiwanese regulationsespecially after suspending shipments to Sophgo, a Chinese chip firm under scrutiny due to its links to Huawei's AI silicon. Still, long-term investors aren't just watching the supply chainthey're eyeing the map. With geopolitical tensions flaring across the Taiwan Strait, the question isn't just about chips anymoreit's about continuity. Wei kept his response diplomatic, stating that such scenarios are a matter for governments, not for TSMC alone. That may be true. But for now, TSMC remains one of the biggest leverage points in the global AI boomand while the road ahead isn't without bumps, demand could continue driving momentum even through turbulence.
