Fontes da cadeia de suprimentos dão conta de que a Apple estaria avaliando a utilização de uma tela maior para o iPhone — de quase 7 polegadas, mais especificamente — em um futuro próximo.
A informação veio do leakerDigital Chat Station, o qual comentou na rede social chinesa Weibo que o tamanho físico do novo painel seria de exatas 6,96 polegadas. Ele especula que essa ampliação deverá acontecer no“iPhone 20 Pro Max”, a versão maior da edição comemorativa de 20 anos da linha, marcada para chegar em 2027, sucedendo o “iPhone 18 Pro Max”.
Caso o rumor se confirme, esse se tornará o maior painel já utilizado em um iPhone (embora a diferença em relação às 6,86″ do iPhone 17 Pro Max seja pequena), número suficiente para que o arredondamento das campanhas publicitárias da Apple dê conta de uma tela de 7″.
A proposta dos modelos comemorativos de 20 anos, conforme especulam vários insiders, é de uma tela sem intervenções, com bordas curvas. Segundo Mark Gurman, da Bloomberg, esses novos iPhones deverão contar com um chip “A21” de 2 nanômetros, que poderá estar presente ainda na segunda geração do iPhone dobrável. Resta a dúvida se a Apple pulará a linha “iPhone 19” e seguirá direto com o “20” (ou “XX”), como fez com os iPhones 8/8 Plus e o iPhone X, em 2017.
iPhone 17 Pro Max
Cores: prateado, laranja-cósmico ou azul-intenso Armazenamento: 256GB, 512GB, 1TB ou 2TB

In a significant victory for Apple, a U.S. federal judge has dismissed a proposed class-action lawsuit accusing the company of failing to prevent the spread of child sexual abuse material (CSAM) through its iCloud storage service. The ruling relies heavily on Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act, which shields online platforms from liability for user-generated content.
U.S. District Judge Noël Wise in San Jose, California, issued the decision late Monday, agreeing with Apple’s position that it is immune from the claims. The plaintiffs alleged that Apple did not take sufficient action to stop images of their childhood sexual abuse from being stored and shared on iCloud.
Key Details from the Case
The lawsuit, filed in 2024 by two plaintiffs using the pseudonyms Amy and Jessica, represented a class of 2,680 individuals with similar claims. It sought up to $32.8 billion in compensatory damages and a court order requiring changes to iCloud.
Judge Wise ruled that the claims treated Apple as an online publisher responsible for user content, placing them squarely under Section 230 protections. She emphasized, “Nothing in federal law requires Apple to proactively utilize available technology or develop new technology to identify and report child sexual abuse material on its cloud platform.”
In a notable statement, the judge added, “Lawmakers can fix this problem that is contributing to the exploitation of children. This Court cannot.”
The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning the plaintiffs cannot refile it.
Background and Apple’s Position
The suit claimed Apple knew about CSAM issues on iCloud, but chose not to deploy available detection tools. It referenced Apple’s 2021 announcement of the NeuralHash program for identifying such material, which was later abandoned in favor of end-to-end encryption—making detection more difficult. Apple has maintained that it has worked diligently to combat CSAM while prioritizing user privacy and security.
James Marsh, an attorney for the plaintiffs, said they are considering an appeal and exploring other legal avenues. He noted, “While the plaintiffs disagree with the judge’s conclusion on the law, we agree with her conclusion that Congress should do more to protect children online and address the skyrocketing harms from online exploitation.”
Apple did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Broader Context
This ruling highlights ongoing debates over Section 230 and tech companies’ responsibilities regarding harmful content. Apple faces a similar lawsuit from West Virginia’s attorney general, described as the first of its kind by a government agency targeting iCloud’s role in CSAM distribution.

Apple TV has achieved a notable milestone in the fiercely competitive U.S. streaming market, rising to become the fourth-largest subscription video-on-demand (SVOD) platform according to the latest JustWatch Q2 2026 Market Shares report.
The data, based on more than 45 million streaming interactions tracked via the JustWatch app and website across more than 320 SVOD services, measures shifts in user interest and engagement (including searches, clicks, and watchlist additions) over the past three months.
Apple TV gained 1 percentage point in the quarter and an impressive 5 percentage points year-over-year — the strongest annual growth among major platforms. This surge allowed it to overtake Hulu and Max and secure sole possession of fourth place.
Netflix continues to lead, but saw some quarterly softening in prior periods before rebounding slightly. Prime Video remains a strong second despite flatter annual performance. Disney+ holds steady in third.
Subscriber Context and Apple’s Strategy
Apple does not publicly disclose exact subscriber numbers for Apple TV. Industry estimates place global paid subscribers around 45 million as of late 2025/early 2026 vs. Netflix (300M+ paid), Amazon Prime Video (200M+ global users), and Disney+ (131.6 million paid).
However, Apple TV punches above its weight in the U.S. thanks to deep integration with Apple’s hardware ecosystem. Promotional offers (such as three free months with new iPhone, iPad, Mac, or Apple TV purchases) and bundling through Apple One help drive adoption. The service maintains a premium, ad-free positioning while competitors have widely adopted ad-supported tiers.
High-quality originals continue to fuel momentum. Acclaimed titles like Severance, Shrinking, and others have driven record viewership in recent periods. Looking ahead, Apple’s multi-year exclusive U.S. rights to Formula 1 (starting in 2026) represent a significant expansion into live sports, potentially broadening its appeal.
Broader Streaming Landscape
The U.S. SVOD market remains dynamic. While scale leaders Netflix and Prime Video dominate overall, mid-tier services are closing gaps through content quality, user experience, and bundling. Many households now subscribe to multiple services (often 4–6 on average), increasing competition for attention and wallet share.
Apple TV’s strong engagement growth signals that a focused, high-production-value approach can resonate even without the massive libraries of its larger rivals.
MacDailyNews Take: Apple TV’s momentum is accelerating in a competitive market thanks to its focus on premium content; quality over quantity (even as the quantity continues to grow)!
Note on methodology: JustWatch’s figures reflect engagement and interest on its platform rather than total subscribers, paid viewing hours, or revenue. This can differ from other rankings (e.g., those from Parks Associates or analyst estimates focused on subscriber counts).

After an eight-year run, OnePlus announced today that it has exited the United States. It's bittersweet, as the brand has been on a comeback tour of sorts with its excellent OnePlus 15 and widely praised (though still too expensive) OnePlus Open.
The writing has been on the wall for a while now. T-Mobile stopped stocking OnePlus' flagship phones after 2022, instead deciding to only carry its low-end Nord devices, and Verizon's run with OnePlus only lasted two years, from 2020 through 2021. Even though it continued releasing flagships, OnePlus' US footprint has been fading. In January, Android Headlines even claimed that the brand was being …

OnePlus has confirmed what industry observers have long expected: it's quitting the US and European markets, and will no longer launch new products in either region. Parent company Oppo promises that it will honor existing support and warranty agreements, with devices transitioning to its ColorOS for future updates.
"Software updates and after-sale support will be guaranteed" in both the US and Europe, Oppo's senior PR manager in Europe, James Paterson, told The Verge in a call. The company wouldn't confirm any specifics on how it will honor its warranty and support agreements in the US, where it will now have no presence at all. In Europe, …
Dutton Ranch only has three episodes left before season 1 draws to a close — and according to one star, wild "hidden secrets" are about to be revealed.
Il display è da 13,2 pollici, per cui OnePlus Pad 3 Pro punta su dimensioni importanti ma anche su una risoluzione di 3.392 x 2.400 pixel. Abbiamo un display LCD e la frequenza d'aggiornamento, in base all'utilizzo, può cambiare da 30 fino a 144 Hz. La luminosità raggiunge in scioltezza i 1.000 nit, mentre la copertura cromatica DCI-P3 tocca quota 98%.
La batteria poi non è affatto da sottovalutare, ma nonostante questo OnePlus Pad 3 Pro mantiene il suo spessore fermo ai 5,94 millimetri e con un peso di 672 grammi. Proprio riguardo all'autonomia, la capacità del modulo è pari a 13.380 mAh e c'è oltretutto il supporto alla ricarica rapida da 67 W.
