The latest iPhone 15 Pro leak reveals its new, lighter weight

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support

One of the changes expected for the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max (or iPhone 15 Ultra) this year is a switch to a titanium chassis – and we now have an idea of how much lighter that's going to make these two phones, compared with their predecessors.

According to tipster @Tech_Reve (via Notebookcheck), the choice to replace the stainless steel frame found on previous iPhones with the stronger and lighter titanium will indeed shave a few grams off the Pro models – though the differences aren't huge.

The iPhone 15 Pro is apparently going to weigh in at 191 grams, compared to the 206 grams of the iPhone 14 Pro. We're expecting the new phone to have the same dimensions as the old one though, and stick with the same screen size of 6.1 inches.

Moving on to the iPhone 15 Pro Max – and we're still not sure of that name – the prediction here is a weight of 221 grams, a reduction from 240 grams for the iPhone 14 Pro Max. Again, the dimensions and screen size (6.7 inches) should stay the same.

Lighter and pricier

There have been grumblings about the relative heaviness of the larger Pro iPhone in recent years, and if the upcoming model manages to be lighter as well as stronger, then Apple might be able to convince a few more people to invest in it.

The trade-off is going to be the price, because titanium costs more. We've heard rumors of a $100 jump in how much you'll have to pay for the Pro and Pro Max models this year (with a rough currency conversion, that's £79 / AU$156 extra).

One of the biggest unknowns at the moment is whether or not the iPhone 15 Pro Max will actually be called the iPhone 15 Ultra. The leaks and rumors we've heard so far have swung both ways on this, so we're not sure what Apple is going to do.

This particular leak goes with the iPhone 15 Pro Max name, so we've stuck with that here. Namings, weights, and everything else should all be revealed next month, with an Apple event now expected to be scheduled for September 12 or 13.

Microsoft, Google, and Meta have borrowed EV tech for the next big thing in data centers: 1MW watercooled racks

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Liquid cooling isn't optional anymore, it's the only way to survive AI's thermal onslaught The jump to 400VDC borrows heavily from electric vehicle supply chains and design logic Google’s TPU supercomputers now run at gigawatt scale with 99.999% uptime As demand for artificial intelligence workloads intensifies, the physical infrastructure of data centers is undergoing rapid and radical transformation. The likes of Google, Microsoft, and Meta are now drawing on technologies initially developed for electric vehicles (EVs), particularly 400VDC systems, to address the dual challenges of high-density power delivery and thermal management. The emerging vision is of data center racks capable of delivering up to 1 megawatt of power, paired with liquid cooling systems engineered to manage the resulting heat. Borrowing EV technology for data center evolution The shift to 400VDC power distribution marks a decisive break from legacy sy...

Google’s AI Mode can explain what you’re seeing even if you can’t

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Google’s AI Mode now lets users upload images and photos to go with text queries The feature combines Google Gemini and Lens AI Mode can understand entire scenes, not just objects Google is adding a new dimension to its experimental AI Mode by connecting Google Lens's visual abilities with Gemini . AI Mode is a part of Google Search that can break down complex topics, compare options, and suggest follow-ups. Now, that search includes uploaded images and photos taken on your smartphone. The result is a way to search through images the way you would text but with much more complex and detailed answers than just putting a picture into reverse image search. You can literally snap a photo of a weird-looking kitchen tool and ask, “What is this, and how do I use it?” and get a helpful answer, complete with shopping links and YouTube demos.

The Oscars’ new AI rule provides a tentative green light for generative tech in movies

Web Hosting & Remote IT Support Ahead of the 98th Oscars ceremony, scheduled for March 2026, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences has made its first official rule regarding the use of generative AI in films. This follows a controversial 2024 season that saw Best Picture finalist The Brutalist (and, to a lesser extent, co-nominee Emilia Perez ) come under fire for its use of AI to alter actor performances and create architectural drawings. As recommended by the Academy’s Science and Technology Council, this new rule states: "With regard to Generative Artificial Intelligence and other digital tools used in the making of the film, the tools neither help nor harm the chances of achieving a nomination. The Academy and each branch will judge the achievement, taking into account the degree to which a human was at the heart of the creative authorship when choosing which movie to award." The new guidelines come alongside three other notable rule changes and add...
