iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max may lose ‘key' display differentiator but gain new one
is said to be preparing to launch its next smartphone lineup, potentially dubbed the
iPhone 17 series
, this fall. This new generation is expected to feature a fresh addition: an ultra-thin
iPhone 17 Air
. For years, the Cupertino-based giant has offered a smooth 120Hz refresh rate and always-on capabilities – a key differentiating factor for its Pro iPhone variants. However, recent rumours suggest that this exclusive advantage might be coming to an end but gain another unique display feature to set them apart.
Citing latest leaks, 9to5mac reports that all models in the upcoming iPhone 17 series are said to receive a high refresh rate display.
However, the
iPhone 17 Pro
models are rumoured to get new technology – anti-reflective and enhanced scratch-resistant properties – potentially ensuring that the more expensive Pro models retain a distinct premium appeal.
This technology might be akin to the nano-texture glass Apple has offered on its Pro Display XDR, Studio Display, and recently on the M4 iPad Pro, which reduces glare and enhances durability.

ProMotion for all rumoured iPhone 17 models
The report says that Apple is expected to bring
ProMotion support
to its entire 2025 lineup, including the:
iPhone 17
iPhone 17 Air
iPhone 17 Pro
iPhone 17 Pro Max
While details are scarce, the 'new' display on Pro models may effectively serve as the differentiator. Furthermore, implementing this feature on the iPhone 17 Pro may provide a compelling reason for users to still opt for the premium models, even as 120Hz ProMotion becomes standard across the board.

Update now! Apple fixes major security flaw in iPhone, iPad, and more with these software versions
Apple earlier this week released iOS 18.6, iPadOS 18.6, macOS Sequoia 15.6, tvOS 18.6, watchOS 11.6, and visionOS 2.6. It is vital to download these software versions, as they patch a critical vulnerability that could potentially leave you exposed to hackers, and get in undue trouble. Here's what you need to know. iOS 18.6 fixes a big security loophole(Shaurya Sharma - HT) What is this security flaw? The specific flaw is CVE-2025-6558, which allows remote hackers to execute arbitrary code using a crafted HTML page, enabling them to bypass browser security, as spotted by Bleeping Computer. This vulnerability affects browsers such as Chrome, where it was identified as a zero-day vulnerability. It was reportedly first spotted by Google's Threat Analysis Group in June, and the Google Chrome team ultimately patched it in July. To be safe, you simply need to update to the appropriate software version for your device. If you have an iPhone that supports iOS 18.6, you should update to it as soon as possible to avoid any potential security issues. Similarly, if you are using an iPad, update to iPadOS 18.6, and do likewise for other Apple devices. It is also worth noting that Apple does not disclose or discuss security issues until patches are released. Which devices are compatible with iOS 18.6? If your device is already running an iOS 18 version, it will be compatible with iOS 18.6. This means all iPhones from the iPhone XS to the latest iPhone 16 series will receive this update. If you are using an older device that is not compatible with iOS 18 versions, it is in your best interest to upgrade to a newer model that supports the latest software to prevent security vulnerabilities.

Apple hits record India revenue in June quarter, sees $1.1 billion September quarter tariff costs overall
iPhone-maker Apple clinched revenue records in over two dozen markets, including India, in June quarter earnings that topped street expectations, but CEO Tim Cook called out the "evolving" tariff situation and estimated September-quarter tariff costs at about $1.1 billion. During the Q3 FY2025 earnings, Mr. Cook spoke of opening new stores in India and the UAE later this year. He said the company saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets, including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil. "We saw an acceleration of growth around the world in the vast majority of markets we track, including greater China and many emerging markets, and we had June quarter revenue records in more than two dozen countries and regions, including the U.S., Canada, Latin America, Western Europe, the Middle East, India, and South Asia," Cook said, adding these results were driven by double-digit growth across iPhone, Mac, and services. The situation around tariffs is "evolving", he said, adding that for the June quarter, the company incurred about $800 million of tariff-related costs. "For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies, and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs. This estimate should not be used to make projections for future quarters, as there are many factors that could change, including tariff rates," he said. He mentioned the recently-launched Apple Store online in Saudi Arabia, and said, "We couldn't be more excited to open new stores in the UAE and India later this year". For the June quarter, the tech titan reported revenue of $94.04 billion, the 10% year-on-year growth topping Wall Street expectations, while net profit came in at $23.42 billion, up 9.2% from a year ago. Meanwhile, the U.S. has announced a 25% tariff on India as the White House released a list of duties that Washington will levy on exports from nations across the globe. In an Executive Order titled 'Further Modifying The Reciprocal Tariff Rates', President Donald Trump announced tariff rates for nearly 70 nations around the world.

Microsoft stops 30-year-old practice and drops Apple, IBM, Meta, Nvidia from this its list of ...
Microsoft has opted not to name its rivals in its latest annual report, in a significant shift from a nearly 30-year tradition, a report has pointed out. The 101-page document, released this week, contains no direct references to competitors like Apple, Google and IBM, nor newer private challengers such as Anthropic or Databricks. This marks a notable departure for the 50-year-old technology giant, which has listed its competitors in annual reports since at least 1994. Last year's report, for instance, explicitly designated over 25 companies as rivals. What is the 'Big change' that Microsoft has brought in its annual report Instead of specific names, Microsoft's latest report broadly states that it 'faces competition in a wide variety of markets,' including productivity software, PC operating systems and cloud infrastructure. A Microsoft spokesperson informed CNBC that this updated format aims to address larger categories. 'The new format reflects the fast-moving nature of the markets in which the company operates', CNBC cited a company spokesperson as saying. Previously, these specific disclosures offered insights into how companies positioned themselves against the software titan. In a notable shift just last year, Microsoft even began referring to key partner OpenAI as a competitor after the AI startup launched a web search feature. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Moose Approaches Girl At Bus Stop In Chittagong - Watch What Happens Happy in Shape Undo Despite this change in official documentation, Microsoft executives continue to track and comment on rival developments.

Similarly, Scott Guthrie, executive vice president of Microsoft's cloud and AI group, referred to Nvidia's powerful GB200 NVL72 systems. Tech giants that name and do not specifiy their competitors The this practice of not naming isn't universally followed. For example, according to CNBC, Microsoft's omission breaks from a common industry practice still observed by peers like Apple, Meta and Nvidia, all of whom continue to name companies they compete against. Meanwhile, Amazon hasn't identified competitors in its annual reports since 1999, Tesla stopped in 2020, and Alphabet (Google's parent) ceased after 2022. The new approach to competitive disclosure comes as Microsoft's shares climbed, pushing the company's market capitalisation past the $4 trillion mark. AI Masterclass for Students.
