New real-world images shared on Weibo reveal the unreleased Xiaomi 18 Fold in a dark red color, showing its triple-rear-camera module for the first time after earlier leaks kept the cameras hidden. The design closely resembles Huawei's Pura X Max, and the device is expected to debut with Xiaomi's new in-house XRing O3 chipset sometime in September.
Xiaomi has launched the Redmi Note 17 Pro Max with a 9,210mAh dual-cell silicon-carbon battery in Europe, and a 10,000mAh single-cell version in some other markets. The company claims up to three days of typical use or 37 hours of continuous video playback, alongside 100W wired charging that can fully charge the device in just over an hour.
Apple kept the M5 Max Mac Studio's starting price at $2,499, but choosing the 40-core GPU option—listed as a $300 upgrade—automatically bumps memory from 32GB to 48GB, adding another $300. That makes the real cost of the GPU upgrade $600, not the $300 shown next to it. John Gruber flagged the discrepancy while tallying configuration prices for the new lineup.
Ubiquiti released patches for three maximum-severity vulnerabilities affecting UniFi Protect, UniFi Talk, and UniFi OS Server products. The flaws include an input validation bug in Protect, a CRLF injection issue in UniFi OS that allows authentication bypass, and a command injection vulnerability in the Talk VoIP application, all exploitable remotely without authentication or user interaction.
Android Authority's reviewer spent weeks testing the Huawei Pura 90s Pro Max, a €1,149 flagship phone with an aluminum frame, Kunlun Glass, and a notably large camera module. Despite Huawei's US ban and shrinking global market share since losing Google services seven years ago, the reviewer found the build quality and craftsmanship rival any top-tier device on the market.
Rupert Young, an MIT alum now serving as chief product officer at MaxMind, traces his analytical approach to cybersecurity back to a childhood hobby of cataloguing stamps given to him by his grandfather. His company's GeoIP tool identifies user location through IP addresses, helping businesses verify currency settings, detect suspicious login activity, and prevent fraud.
BenQ has introduced two new monitor light bars, headlined by the ScreenBar Max, its first ScreenBar model designed to span dual-monitor setups. The device combines a rear-facing bias light with a front-facing desk lamp, aiming to cut eye strain while also illuminating keyboards and documents. It carries a premium price tag to match its expanded size and dual-purpose lighting design.
Apple unveiled a refreshed Mac Studio built around its M5 Max and new M5 Ultra silicon, promising up to 4.3x faster on-device AI performance, 1.8x faster graphics, and support for up to 512GB of unified memory. The desktop also gains Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thunderbolt 5, with the latter allowing multiple units to be clustered for tripled AI inference speeds. Pre-orders opened today, positioning the machine as Apple's flagship workstation for AI researchers and creative professionals.
Apple has refreshed the Mac Studio desktop lineup with new M5 Max and M5 Ultra chip options, now available for pre-order alongside the updated Mac mini. The M5 Max configuration brings an 18-core CPU, up to 40 GPU cores with Neural Accelerators, and faster memory bandwidth, while the top-end M5 Ultra model scales up to a 36-core CPU and supports up to 512GB of unified memory.
Apple has updated the Mac Studio lineup, moving both models back onto the same chip generation after last year's mismatched M4 Max and M3 Ultra split. The M5 Max version starts at $2,499 with 36GB of memory and 512GB storage, while the new M5 Ultra model begins at $5,499 with 96GB of memory and 1TB storage. Both ship September 22nd with macOS 27 Golden Gate, though a 512GB memory M5 Ultra configuration won't arrive until late October with pricing still unannounced.
Greenworks has launched the MaximusZ, an electric riding mower that uses five separate motors: two to drive the wheels and three to spin a trio of blades cutting a 54-inch swath in one pass. Powered by an 80-volt battery system combining four 6.0Ah packs and two 16Ah packs for 56Ah total capacity, the mower is rated for up to four acres per charge and recharges in about 3.5 hours using a proprietary charger.
An independent game developer built Wyvern using a self-organized workforce of 50-60 AI agents, led by 18 long-running Claude Fable instances acting as department heads, supported by headless Claude Sol and Opus fleets for implementation and review. The setup burns roughly $122,000 a month in equivalent API usage, though the developer pays only about $5,000 out of pocket by exploiting Claude Max's flat-rate individual pricing across 21 accounts, running everything on a $25,000 secondhand 512GB Mac Studio.
