This could be the iPhone 12 Pro Max’s design
And it already reveals a lot
Just a couple of days ago, Apple announced the iPhone SE 2020. It usually reveals new iPhones in September, but the SE-series are the only exception. The “iPhone 12” or whatever they choose to call it, is expected to be unveiled five months from now.
But thanks to Max Weinbach and EverythingApplePro, we might be getting an ultra-early look at its design. The video has been posted on YouTube and shows-off a tonne of details about the upcoming Apple flagship.
Dubbed the iPhone 12 Pro Max 5G at the moment, the first thing you’ll notice is the design language. It reminds us of the previous generation models like the iPhone 5s due to its sharp and straightforward edges. That design was and is still loved by many. In fact, even the iPhone SE 2020 carries forward the infamous design language of the iPhone 7.

Coming back to the leak, the iPhone 11 Pro Max has a 6.5-inch display but the CAD files suggest Apple will go with an even bigger screen measuring 6.7-inches. The phone is slightly taller and wider, but also thinner. The flat design allows it to reduce both, width and height.
Smaller notch, less bezels
For the first time since the introduction of the notch in iPhone X, Apple has finally decided to cut down the bezels as well as reduce the notch size. This could imply that the company has also been able to rejig infrared components for Face ID and they now occupy lesser space. In the end, this would mean more notification icons easily visible. Something that has been quite an annoying factor for many.
While the phone gets thinner, the camera bump gets larger. Obviously, it retains a triple-camera setup. But, now it’ll also get a LiDAR Scanner, a new feature Apple recently introduced in the latest iPad Pro iteration.
The iPhone 12 Series is expected to have 5G across all models and thus, it seems even the antenna bands have grown significantly from in size too from 1.0mm to 1.83mm.
Lastly, there is also evidence that it may have a Smart Connector. The iPad Pro currently has it and is used for connecting external accessories like a keyboard. Everything else we’ve seen on an iPhone so far, like the power button, lightning port, and instant mute toggle remains untouched.
While the video describes the upcoming flagship in excruciating details, we must digest these with a pinch of salt. The phone is almost half a year away and the company could still be in the design or development stage. Any changes could be made and the final product could definitely differ.

2026’s The Game Awards will stream live on Disney+
Annually, The Game Awards have become a sort of second Christmas for gamers. Besides a celebration of the past year in the world of videogames, the event hosts trailers for games of the upcoming year and beyond. Though it’s already free on several platforms, viewers can now tune in to Disney+ to watch this year’s Game Awards.
Hosted as always by Geoff Keighley, 2026’s The Game Awards will happen on December 10 at 7:30pm ET. Most of the event will award the best titles of various categories for the year. Several publishers and developers also use the event to announce their upcoming titles. It’s for these reasons that a lot of gamers catch the event every year.
This year, The Game Awards is streaming live on Disney+. This is in addition to its usual platforms including Twitch and YouTube. The Disney+ stream will be available in the United States and select territories internationally.
For now, gamers can also vote on their picks for various categories via the event’s website.
On the other hand, Disney+ has been pushing live events more adamantly. In the Philippines, for example, the platform is the home for live NBA coverage. Though it’s not as strong as Netflix’s gaming push with its assortment of free games, Disney+’s addition of the annual awards show is a worthy go for gamers.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang resigns after scandals
NVIDIA’s week is finally and mercifully coming to an end. After being implicated in two extramarital affairs, now-former NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang has resigned from his position.
It’s been a terrible week for Huang’s personal life. Last weekend, a bombshell report revealed that Huang engaged in an affair with Alice Huang, who is reportedly involved with Chinese intelligence. Quickly realizing the heaviness of the allegations, the CEO admitted quickly to the affair.
However, barely 24 hours ago, another report revealed that Huang had a second extramarital affair. Though he was clear of any more espionage allegations, his romantic affair of choice was another executive within the company. NVIDIA’s board of directors quickly debated whether Huang should be fired for his actions.
Now, Huang has voluntarily resigned from his position. The former CEO leaves behind his spot at the head of the table since cofounding NVIDIA in 1993.
In his stead, the board of directors have named incumbent CFO Colette Kress as the company’s interim CEO while the board searches for a permanent replacement. Despite her interim role, Kress will continue her duties as CFO.
Additionally, the board has named Harvey C. Jones, a member of board since its founding, as its first chair of the board.
Though the company will leave most of the controversy behind with Huang’s departure, its next chapter is about to begin. Will its new direction maintain the company’s tenuous balance between AI and gaming, or tip the scales towards one segment?

St. Peter reunited people with their deceased loved ones through tech
The new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign generates letters from the imagined perspectives of loved ones.
Grieving can take many forms. Sometimes, it manifests through a desire to hear a loved one again. We look at their old clothing, a gust of wind, or a butterfly, and imagine them talking to us one more time. This year, St. Peter, through the power of technology, gave 11,000 people that chance through its new “If Heaven Could Write” campaign.
During St. Peter Deathcare Week, which ran from October 27 through November 2, the deathcare provider started the “If Heaven Could Write” campaign, an interactive digital experience that offered participants a chance to reunite with their deceased loved ones. It was available in 37 St. Peter Chapels and 76 cemeteries nationwide.
Upon scanning a QR code which took them to a portal, participants answered questions about their loved ones. Then, the portal generates a personal letter from the imagined perspective of the participant’s loved one, giving them one more chance to converse.
Of course, an imagined letter can’t replace someone who passed away. Still, the experience affords us a way to grieve and process the loss. No, the letter isn’t really from your loved one, but you can imagine what they would have said while reading through it. And sometimes, that’s all we need.
Though St. Peter Deathcare Week has already come and gone for the year, those interested can still participate in the campaign through its link.
