The next generation iPhone 17 Pro may support 8K video recording, according to leaker Fixed Focus Digital. In a recent post on Weibo, the leaker corroborated rumors of a glass/aluminum back and teased 8K video capabilities.

Machine translated, the post reads:

”Half aluminum, half glass, using a very special process to create a gradient. Unlike the previous models with cases, this generation is most enjoyable when used without a case… For those holding an 8K device, you should definitely look forward to the iPhone 17 series.”

This isn’t the first time 8K video has been linked to Apple’s flagship devices. Last year, reports suggested the iPhone 16 Pro was tested for 8K recording with its 48MP wide and ultra-wide lenses, though the feature didn’t make the final cut. Instead, the iPhone 16 Pro launched with 4K video at 120fps, a step up from the iPhone 15’s 4K 60fps ceiling. The telephoto lens, however, remained limited and wasn’t part of the 8K testing rumors.

Just a few months after releasing its first Gemini 2.0 AI models, Google is upgrading again. The company says the new Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental is its ”most intelligent” model yet, offering a massive context window, multimodality, and reasoning capabilities. Google points to a raft of benchmarks that show the new Gemini clobbering other large language models (LLMs), and our testing seems to back that up—Gemini 2.5 Pro is one of the most impressive generative AI models we’ve seen.

As it turns out, including a reporter in your national security leader group chat about military strikes isn’t the only way to compromise sensitive information on Signal. NPR reported on Tuesday that, days after the Trump administration’s preposterous and dangerous national security fumble, the Pentagon issued a warning against using the messaging app due to a phishing vulnerability.

”A vulnerability has been identified in the Signal messenger application,” a department-wide email obtained by NPR reads. ”Russian professional hacking groups are employing [Signal’s] ’linked devices’ features to spy on encrypted conversations.” The publication says the memo states that Russian hacking groups are ”targeting Signal Messenger to spy on persons of interest.”

Security consultant Troy Hunt, the creator of the Have I Been Pwned (HIBP) service, has revealed that he got tricked by a clever phishing email, and that the attacker gained access to his Mailchimp account and stole a list of email addresses of his newsletter subscribers.

Commendably, he added the compromised data – email and IP addresses, rough geolocation data – to HIBP, so that users may check whether theirs is included or get notified if they subscribed to the notification service.
