  "account": "In a festive spirit, Apple's Executive Chairman Tim Cook shared a photograph of Diwali celebrations taken with the company's latest iPhone model, the iPhone 18 Pro Max. The image, credited to photographer Gursimran Basra, showcases a glowing diya, a key symbol of the festival. Cook's post on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) read: \"Happy Diwali to everyone celebrating around the world! May the light of this festival brighten your year ahead.\" This marks the third year in a row Cook has used an iPhone user's photograph to mark Diwali. In 2025, he shared a photo by Mumbai photographer Apeksha Maker on an iPhone 17 Pro Max, and in 2024, he used a picture by Delhi-based Rohit Vohra on an iPhone 16 Pro Max. The iPhone 18 Pro Max boasts advanced camera capabilities, including a 48MP Pro Fusion camera system with three rear cameras and a 48MP telephoto lens. Notable features include a variable aperture for light control, 4x optical zoom, 8x optical-quality zoom, Ultra Wide camera with 120-degree field of view, Night Mode, and Pro controls for manual adjustments. The smartphone also supports ProRAW, Smart HDR 5, Deep Fusion, and Apple's Photonic Engine.",
