iPhone 18 Pro Likely 2mm Thicker to Accommodate New Camera System

A leaker claims the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be roughly 2mm thicker than the iPhone 17 Pro due to a redesigned main camera system and continued aluminum alloy frame, with overall thickness around 9.9–10.9mm (vs. 8.75mm for the 17 Pro/Pro Max). The bulk is tied to a new camera module and variable aperture, with production ramping at LG Innotek and Sunny Optical, and launch expected alongside Apple's foldable iPhone this September.

Mac webcam covers don’t protect privacy in 2026

Modern Macs’ hardware design and the green privacy LED mean sliding webcam covers are not a meaningful privacy shield; pre-2008 Macs had vulnerabilities, but today there’s no known malware bypassing the indicator. Tools like OverSight can alert you when the camera is active, but covering the camera can damage the display or affect features like True Tone. Apple warns against thick covers and even paper-thin claddings can cause screen damage, so webcam covers are more likely to harm hardware than improve privacy.

GoPro removed from fatal Brazil bungee jump, witness says

A 21-year-old student died after a bungee jump in Limeira, Brazil, when she was thrown off a bridge without a rope.

Apple broadens Visual Intelligence with a Siri-powered camera mode across iOS 27 and beyond

Apple is upgrading Visual Intelligence in iOS 27 by moving it into the Camera app with a new Siri Mode that analyzes what you see, suggests smart actions (nutritional insights, bill splitting, importing calendar events and contacts, Wallet passes) and can answer questions by pulling web data. The feature now works across iPhone, iPad, Mac, and Vision Pro, with device requirements including iPhone 15 Pro or newer (Mac with Apple silicon; iPad with Apple silicon or A17 Pro iPad mini).

Galaxy S27 and Xiaomi 18 leaks signal Leica camera lineup shake-up

New entries in the IMEI database point to Samsung Galaxy S27 (SM-S952U) and an early Xiaomi 18 lineup, hinting at major Leica-branded camera changes. The S27 appears as a Galaxy S26 successor with a likely compact entry model, while Xiaomi 18 variants (global, India, Japan) suggest a shift toward simultaneous global/China launches and potential Xiaomi 18 Pro, amid questions about the 18 Ultra. Together, the findings hint at a revised Leica camera strategy for Xiaomi and potentially updated flagship cadences for Samsung ahead of next year’s release window.

iPhone 18 Pro poised for camera, battery and design upgrades

Rumors suggest the iPhone 18 Pro will highlight three upgrades this fall: substantial camera hardware improvements (including variable aperture, a wider telephoto, and a redesigned Camera Control button) to enhance depth of field and low-light performance; longer battery life driven by a larger battery, the A20 Pro chip on a 2nm process, and a more power-efficient C2 modem; and design changes such as a new flagship color, improved back-glass color alignment, and a smaller Dynamic Island to free up screen space.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra: The all-in-one Android powerhouse that nails privacy and camera

Digital Trends’ four-month review of the Galaxy S26 Ultra flags it as the most complete Android flagship, thanks to the built-in Privacy Display, strong low-light camera performance, and a standout S Pen, all powered by a cooling-efficient Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 and backed by seven years of OS updates. It’s fast and polished, but the 5,000mAh battery isn’t class-leading, charging is rapid but magnetic wireless charging is missing, and a few AI features feel rough around the edges—yet for power users it remains the phone to beat.

Galaxy S27 Leaks Point to Horizontal Camera Bar and Massive Battery Upgrade

Leaks suggest Samsung’s Galaxy S27 introduces a horizontal pillbox-style camera bar to accommodate Qi2 magnets, enables a dramatic battery leap (up to ~20,000 mAh on the Ultra), and features a 200 MP ISOCELL HPA sensor with variable aperture. The S27 Ultra reportedly drops the 3x telephoto for a longer-range periscope, with four models confirmed (S27, S27 Plus, S27 Pro, S27 Ultra) and a January 2027 launch window. The S27 Pro omits the S Pen, positioning it as a compact Ultra alternative.

Kuo predicts costly camera upgrade for iPhone 18 Pro

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo says the iPhone 18 Pro will adopt a variable-aperture main camera at roughly 50% higher cost than the current top lens, with 40–50% of components sourced from Sunny Optical and Largan remaining a key supplier, a move that adds to margin pressures amid rising memory costs. Looking further ahead, he notes the 2028 iPhone ultra-wide module could switch from flip-chip packaging to a chip-on-board design, signaling more cost and tech changes for future models.
