Apple is expected to launch the iPhone 18 Pro Max this fall, boasting a major hardware leap over the iPhone 15 Pro Max. Rumored specs include a 2 nm A20 Pro chip with 12 GB RAM, up to 2 TB storage, a 6.9-inch LTPO OLED display brighter than 3,000 nits, and a smaller Dynamic Island. The camera system remains a 48 MP triple setup with potential variable aperture and a 5X telephoto, while a larger 5,200 mAh battery and faster wired charging (up to 40 W) are anticipated. iOS 27 would ship out of the box, and design is expected to stay largely aluminum with a new color option like Dark Cherry. If you own a 15 Pro Max, upgrade decision hinges on how much you value the latest tech and performance gains.

Motorola's Razr Fold delivers an 8.1-inch inner foldable display with a smooth hinge and a premium build, but at $1,900 it’s hard to justify given rivals. It packs 16GB of RAM, a Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5, and a 6,000 mAh battery with very fast charging, plus a triple 50 MP camera system and optional Moto Pen Ultra stylus. The software leans into Moto AI features that feel scattered and unnecessary, while durability is rated IP49 (water-sealed but not dustproof). It’s a capable, well-made device with strong multitasking and a bright, crease-minimal screen, but the price and AI clutter make it a tough buy versus competing foldables.
Raja Jackson, son of MMA legend Quinton 'Rampage' Jackson, pleaded no contest to a single felony count of battery with serious bodily harm after attacking pro wrestler Syko Stu at a Los Angeles KnokX Pro Wrestling event; sentencing is set for late June with about 90 days in county jail, $81,703.38 restitution, and two years of formal probation, a deal his father publicly supported.
Motorola’s Razr Fold launches as a book-style foldable to challenge Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 7, offering a 6.6-inch cover display and 8.1-inch internal screen, a 6,000‑mAh battery with 80W wired and 50W wireless charging, a Moto Pen stylus, and a triple 50MP rear camera setup; the Z Fold 7 remains thinner and lighter (about 4.2mm open, 8.9mm closed; 215g) with a 6.5-inch cover and 8-inch main display, a 4,400 mAh battery, 200MP main camera, and no S Pen support. Price starts at $1,900 for the Razr Fold (512GB) and $2,000 for the Z Fold 7 (256GB); US preorders begin May 14 with May 21 availability. Both run Android 16 with long-term software updates, but Motorola emphasizes premium design and stylus capability while Samsung highlights cameras and a slim form factor.
Aleksandra Mendoza, a teen influencer known as Alorah, is suing Miami-based streamer Braden Peters (Clavicular) for battery, intentional infliction of emotional distress, fraud, and unauthorized publication of her name/likeness. The suit alleges that in 2025, when Mendoza was 16, Peters paid her to film videos and planned her as the “female face” of looksmaxxing, took her to Cape Cod, served her alcohol to intoxication, and had sex with her without consent; he allegedly injected her with Aqualyx without licensing or FDA approval. The lawsuit also claims he later undermined her sponsorships in 2026. Mendoza, now 18, seeks damages over $50,000. Peters denies the allegations and says he will vigorously defend himself.
Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro Max could carry a 5,100–5,200 mAh battery and the iPhone 18 Pro around 4,100–4,250 mAh, aided by the A20 Pro 2nm chip for improved efficiency, potentially delivering about 2 days of battery life on the Pro Max. Wired charging may hit around 45W (roughly 50% in 20 minutes with a 40W adapter); USB-C remains the port, MagSafe/Qi2 wireless charging persists, and reverse wireless charging remains unlikely. No charger is included in the box; optimal results are with Apple's 40W Dynamic Power Adapter and MagSafe up to 25W.
