The color options Apple is reportedly planning for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max have appeared online today in the form of images of chassis parts of unknown origin. Shared by the account name " yeux1122 " on the Korean-langauge Naver blog, the images show what appear to be production-ready frames for three of the four colors Apple is rumored to be planning. Multiple rumors have suggested Apple is testing a deep red finish for the iPhone 18 Pro models, and the color is expected to be the special color that Apple chooses in 2026, similar to Cosmic Orange for iPhone 17 Pro. Two other colors Apple is said to be planning are Light Blue and Dark Gray. Apple may also offer the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in Silver, though that color isn't shown in these pictures. Macworld previously shared what it said were Pantone codes for the four colors Apple is testing. The four colors have also been spotted in the first iPhone 18 Pro dummy models to leak , providing another look at the shades Apple is likely to use. The iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to be unveiled this September alongside Apple's first foldable iPhone, which will have its own set of color finishes that are likely to be more muted , with silver, white, and indigo rumored so far.

Google has released its AI Edge Gallery app on the Mac for the first time, allowing AI fans to run its Gemini large language models (LLMs) locally, without the need for an internet connection. Google's AI Edge Gallery just launched on the Mac While the AI Edge Gallery has been available for the iPhone for a while, the Mac has lagged behind. That changed today when Google made the AI Edge Gallery app available as a direct download from its website. Running an LLM locally has multiple benefits, not just the fact that it can work offline. There is an added privacy benefit, and a local LLM is often faster than sending requests to a cloud server and waiting for a response. Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max is said to be the same thickness as the iPhone 17 Pro Max, dashing hopes of a more svelte form factor this time around. The iPhone 18 Pro Max isn't getting any thinner this year. Just like its predecessor, a new report claims Apple's monster 2026 iPhone will measure 8.75mm. That's thicker than the iPhone 16 Pro Max's 8.25mm measurement, and a pocket-filler for fans of skinny jeans and the like. The measurement comes from Weibo leaker Ice Universe, and is notable given their previous claims of an increase in thickness. They said in March that the iPhone 18 Pro Max would be 8.8mm thick, a modest growth. Rumor Score: 🤯 Likely Continue Reading on AppleInsider | Discuss on our Forums
Apple has published a new ad to appeal to customers who prioritize privacy when browsing, suggesting that Safari is the one you should use if you want to "Keep data trackers off your back." In a new Privacy on iPhone segment titled "Safari helps block data trackers," the ad shows users of rival phones in everyday situations having to live with data trackers as they browse. The trackers are depicted as people in chrome-colored suits (get it?) who generally follow them around wherever they go to look at their screen – and in some cases literally sit on their shoulders to get a better view. Apple on its website calls privacy a "fundamental human right," and highlights several features that Chrome doesn't come with out of the box. Safari blocks third-party cookies by default, uses machine learning to combat tracking, removes tracking parameters from URLs in Private Browsing, hides your IP address from known trackers, prevents web extensions from accessing your browsing activity by default, and blocks known trackers in Private Browsing.
