iPhone 18 Pro Max Dimensions
Contrary to earlier speculation, the iPhone 18 Pro Max won't grow thicker as previously rumored, though it also won't get thinner as Apple focuses on other improvements. According to Weibo-based leaker Ice Universe, the device will measure exactly 8.75mm matching its predecessor, suggesting Apple is prioritizing internal components and features over reducing the device's physical profile despite consumer preferences for slimmer devices.
Apple's AI and Privacy Strategy
Apple's overhauled Siri will reportedly run on Nvidia's Blackwell chips through Google's cloud infrastructure, marking a significant departure from the initial plan to limit Apple Intelligence to Apple Silicon only. This cloud-based approach aligns with Apple's broader privacy-first AI strategy, which the company argues will justify delays in feature implementation. Apple is promoting Safari as a more private alternative to Chrome in a new advertising campaign, reinforcing its commitment to privacy as a key differentiator in the competitive AI landscape.
