Apple iPhone 17 Pro: Revised Leak Reveals Unprecedented Design Secret

The next iPhones are less than a month away. A recent report that seemed to relate to the iPhone 17 Air has now been updated to indicate that no, it's about the iPhone 17 Pro, after all. But there's something much more interesting hiding in the shadows of the new story. You can read my original story here, but the new update includes something that no iPhone has ever had before: different battery sizes for the iPhone based on where it will be sold. The news came from prolific leaker Majin Bu, who perhaps spoke too soon with their latest leak, which claimed to show the battery for the upcoming slim phone, nicknamed the iPhone 17 Air. They've now had to correct what they said. 'Due to a miscommunication with my source, the information I reported yesterday is incorrect,' Majin Bu has now admitted on X. Instead, they're directing readers to their latest post. In a scorched-earth policy, the original post now links instead to one headlined 'iPhone 17 Pro: Unveiling the New Battery with Steel Case,' which reveals that the information was referring to quite a different phone, the iPhone 17 Pro. The new post does not mention the mistake and indeed the word Air never appears in the story. Some of the new story is similar to the original except there's no longer any reference to the capacity of the new battery. Instead, there's an arguably much more interesting: that the L-shaped battery will come in two different versions. As you will know, U.S. iPhones no longer have physical SIM card trays. Until now, that extra real estate has been filled by a spacer. According to this updated report, for the very first time, Apple will make two different iPhone batteries: one for the U.S. market and a smaller one for international territories (which Majin Bu refers to as the Chinese version, though it's not thought that the eSIM only option for U.S. iPhones is about to be replicated anywhere else. 'The version for the U.S. market is wider, designed without the need to accommodate a physical SIM. This layout maximizes internal space, with a battery extended in width for optimized capacity without compromises,' the new report says. Which means, you've got it, U.S. iPhones could have longer battery life than other countries' models. By how much, we don't know, but every extra bit of battery size is to be welcomed.

Meta chief AI scientist Yann LeCun says Elon Musk risks 'killing breakthrough innovation' at xAI. Here's why.

Meta's Yann LeCun disagrees with Elon Musk about the role of researchers at AI companies. Musk earlier said xAI is ditching the "researcher" job title in favor of "engineers." LeCun said ignoring the distinction between them could risk "killing breakthrough innovation." Meta's chief AI scientist, Yann LeCun, doesn't agree with Elon Musk's latest take on AI development. Like, at all. Musk sparked a conversation about the roles of researchers and engineers at tech companies on Tuesday in an X post. Musk said his AI startup, xAI, would ditch the "researcher" job title in favor of "engineer." "This false nomenclature of 'researcher' and 'engineer', which is a thinly-masked way of describing a two-tier engineering system, is being deleted from @xAI today," Musk said. "There are only engineers. Researcher is a relic term from academia." Two days later, LeCun shared a screenshot of Musk's X post on LinkedIn with a multi-paragraph response. "If you make no distinction between the two activities, if you don't evaluate researchers and engineers with different criteria, you run the risk of killing breakthrough innovation," LeCun said. "True breakthroughs require teams with a long horizon and minimal constraints from product development and management." Musk isn't the first person to question the distinction between AI researchers and engineers. Other leading AI companies have, too. In a 2023 X post, OpenAI President Greg Brockman said that the company didn't want to put its workers into such defined buckets. Instead, the ChatGPT-maker settled on the phrase "Member of Technical Staff." Anthropic, which makes Claude, also uses "Member of Technical Staff" as a job title. "While there's historically been a division between engineering and research in machine learning, we think that boundary has dissolved with the advent of large models," Anthropic says on its careers page. LeCun, however, says the research labs that shaped what the science and tech industries have become were all separate from engineering divisions. "The industry research labs of yore that have left an indelible mark on scientific and technological progress (Bell Labs Area 11, IBM Research, Xerox PARC, etc) were all research divisions that were clearly separate from engineering divisions," LeCun said.

Lucid Group, Inc. (LCID) Opens Phoenix Hub, Accelerates Gravity SUV Production and Job Growth

We recently compiled a list of the 10 Best Low Cost Stocks To Buy Under $50. Lucid Group, Inc. stands tenth on our list. Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) is among the cheap stocks to buy. It is a U.S.-based luxury EV manufacturer known for its Lucid Air sedan and is expanding its footprint with the upcoming Gravity SUV and a growing emphasis on advanced technology. The company operates high-tech manufacturing facilities in Arizona and focuses on performance, efficiency, and premium features. In July 2025, Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) launched key updates to its DreamDrive Pro driver-assistance system, including new hands-free driving and automated lane change features. These enhancements, delivered via over-the-air updates, place the company among leaders in driving automation and align with its long-term push toward autonomous capabilities. The corporation also announced that Air owners will gain access to Tesla's Supercharger network starting July 31, 2025, through a NACS adapter. This dramatically improves charging accessibility for LCID drivers and addresses a core challenge for EV adoption. The business expanded its manufacturing capacity with the opening of the Phoenix Hub, acquired from Nikola Corporation. This facility will support the production of the Gravity SUV and a future midsize EV platform, and is expected to create up to 500 jobs over the next few years. On the supply chain front, Lucid Group, Inc. (NASDAQ:LCID) partnered with critical mineral producers to strengthen sourcing resilience and support sustainable vehicle production in the U.S. Looking ahead, the company is ramping up Gravity SUV production and plans a 1:10 reverse stock split aimed at attracting a broader investor base. Additionally, a new marketing campaign featuring actor Timothée Chalamet will debut in fall 2025, reinforcing the corporation's image as a premium, innovative brand. While we acknowledge the potential of LCID as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.
