What if your AI knew you just as well as your closest friend, remembering your habits, booking your trips, and reading your private chats to plan your schedule? In this edition of Tech Today, Cyrus examines the privacy implications behind Meta Muse and its new wearable hardware, delivers an honest two-week review of the ₹1.8 lakh iPhone 18 Pro Max, and walks through a hassle-free guide to transferring your data to a new iPhone.
Big Tech Story: Meta Muse & The Personal AI Dilemma
Meta is pushing beyond traditional chatbots with Muse, an autonomous personal AI agent designed to live across WhatsApp, Instagram, desktop environments, and smart wearables. Instead of just answering questions, Muse handles multi-step tasks like browsing the web, managing your calendar, and completing purchases by understanding your social context and chat history. At Meta Connect, the company revealed hardware to keep Muse on your face and body all day, including Ray-Ban Meta Audio, the Gen 3 smart glasses, 5K micro-OLED VR glasses, and a dedicated AI neck pendant. But with security vulnerabilities, pushback from platforms like Amazon blocking automated checkout, and cameras worn in public spaces, we break down whether we can truly trust Meta with our most sensitive personal information.
Tech Review: iPhone 18 Pro Max
Is Apple’s top-tier flagship worth its starting price of ₹1,79,900? Cyrus shares his hands-on experience using the device as a daily driver.
Design & Weight: Features a slightly smaller Dynamic Island that displays up to three Live Activities at once, but jumps to a hefty 249 grams—making it a literal quarter-kilo phone.
A20 Pro Performance: Built with an expanded vapor chamber, the chip delivers a massive 40% jump on AnTuTu (scoring over 3.45 million) and handles long, demanding gaming sessions without thermal throttling.
Variable Aperture Camera: The 48MP main sensor introduces a physical mechanical aperture shifting between f/1.48 and f/4 for native optical depth control during both photography and video, paired with an 18MP Center Stage front camera.
Battery & Charging: Offers up to two full days of typical endurance and hits 100% in roughly an hour using a 100W PD charger.
The Verdict: While it is a massive leap for users upgrading from an iPhone 13, 14, or 15 Pro, existing 17 Pro Max owners have very little reason to spend the extra money.
