Apple’s Camera Upgrade, Smarter AI Images, and Solar Power From Space

Hey folks,

It’s Monday, so let’s quickly catch up on the some of the biggest and most interesting AI updates from the past few days.

iPhone 18 Pro Max May Get Thicker for Better Cameras

Apple may make the iPhone 18 Pro Max slightly thicker, according to new dummy unit leaks. The change is reportedly linked to a larger camera module and bigger lenses.

The thicker design could allow improved camera hardware, suggesting Apple is prioritising imaging performance over slimness. The leaks also hint at a possible “Ultra” foldable model being tested alongside the Pro lineup.

OpenAI Upgrades Its Image Generator With Web Search

OpenAI has rolled out ChatGPT Images 2.0, an upgraded image generation system powered by its new GPT Image 2 model.

The biggest addition is web-powered reasoning. The system can now search the web for context, create multiple consistent images from one prompt, and better preserve style, characters, and text. It also supports up to eight images at once and resolutions up to 2K.

Meta Is Exploring Solar Power From Space

Meta has signed a deal with startup Overview Energy to explore a futuristic energy source: collecting solar power in space and beaming it back to Earth.

The idea is to power AI data centres at night without relying on batteries or traditional grids. With AI compute demand growing rapidly, energy infrastructure is becoming just as important as model performance.

Use Multiple AI Models in One Place

Geekflare Chat lets you access multiple AI models from a single platform, so you don’t need separate subscriptions for each one.

Instead of switching between tools, you can use different models in one place and choose the best one for your task. It’s simple, convenient, and built for everyday use.

👉 One platform. Multiple AI models. No juggling.

Stop Paying for Multiple AI Subscriptions ❌
