Tim Cook’s Diwali wishes

The Apple CEO extended greetings often on Indian festivals, including Diwali and Holi. Last year, Cook had posted a picture clicked by another Indian photographer, which was shot on the iPhone 16 Pro Max.

"Diwali is a time of light, unity, and hope. Wishing everyone celebrating a joyous and peaceful Festival of Lights," he posted on X, attaching a photo of diyas being placed on a bed of rose petals.

That photo was shot by Delhi-based photographer Rohit Vohra, who is the cofounder and editor-in-chief of a photography publication called APF Magazine.

iPhone 17 Pro Max

The new iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max were unveiled as the top models in the iPhone 17 lineup in September this year. Along with those models, Apple also released the iPhone 17 and the brand-new iPhone Air.

The Pro comes back with an aluminium body, features the largest battery ever in an iPhone, and includes what Apple describes as a "full-width camera plateau" on the rear, according to the live event streamed on Apple’s website and YouTube channel on September 9. The iPhone 17 Pro Max is powered by the latest A19 Pro chip with a 16-core Neural Engine.
