Apple’s iPhone is a product that the world, including potential buyers, critics, and competitors, watches obsessively. Over the years, the Cupertino giant has repeatedly shown up every September, with the best iteration of their smartphone technology, spread across multiple Pro and non-Pro models. However, the iPhone 18 series could change that tradition. This year could be the first time the company splits its massive September event into two, focusing on different categories of the upcoming iPhones. The premium ones, including the Pro models and the purported Apple foldable, could arrive this fall, while the more affordable models could arrive in…

For a brief moment, it looked like Apple’s long-awaited foldable iPhone had hit a classic case of “almost, but not quite.” Reports of manufacturing hurdles and testing issues had people bracing for a delay — some even pushing the deadline to 2027. Naturally, the internet did what it does best: panic and speculate. But it turns out, the situation may not be nearly as dramatic as it first seemed. Not quite the crisis it was made out to be Despite the noise, Apple doesn’t appear to be scrambling behind the scenes trying to fix a broken product. From what’s being…

So far, we’ve seen companies either release new smartphones at higher prices than their predecessors or hike prices a few months after launch, of course, due to the ongoing memory crisis. However, Samsung has increased the price of a device that’s about to be replaced in a couple of months. The Galaxy Z Fold 7, launched in July 2025, has received a quiet yet firm price hike in the United States. Even though the baseline variant with 256GB of storage holds steady at $2,000, the 512GB variant now costs $2,200, up $80 from the original price of $2,120.  Isn’t the…

Apple just refreshed the Studio Display. It carries the same gorgeous 27-inch 5K screen, same $1,599 price tag, but a handful of changes that’ll either excite you or make you squint at the press release wondering what took so long. Let’s start with what didn’t move. The panel is identical; 5120 x 2880 at 218 pixels per inch, 600 nits, P3 wide color, True Tone. And yes, it still supports 60Hz refresh rate — that looks more like a deliberate choice than a technical limitation. Nano-texture glass is still an optional add-on if your office lighting situation is genuinely terrible.…

Weather apps are usually one of the most boring things on your phone. You open one, glance at the temperature, maybe check if it is going to rain, and close it without a second thought. SkyDex tries to fix that by turning the whole thing into a Pokémon-style collecting game. And honestly, I can see the appeal. After trying out the free version on an iPhone 15, i came away thinking it is genuinely fun wrapped in an app that still feels a little rough around the edges. It is a weather app with a layer of Pokémon experience, which…

Copy editor Morgan Dreiss has severe ADHD and says they need to always be doing at least three things at once. The result is an average daily screen time of 18 hours and 55 minutes. According to a recent WIRED report, Dreiss is far from alone. For years, studies have warned about the effects of excessive screen time on our physical and mental health. Yet a growing number of people are pushing back on that narrative. Call them screenmaxxers. They are not trying to rack up hours on purpose, but they are on their screens pretty much all day, and…

Android may be getting a simpler way to move files between phones. A newly surfaced interface shows Google working on a sharing feature that appears built for quick transfers of contacts, photos, videos, links, location data, and other content by bringing two devices together. It looks like one of the clearest signs yet that Google wants a more physical, AirDrop-style handoff on Android. What makes the reveal interesting is how specific the flow already looks. The screens suggest both phones need to be unlocked, facing up, and aligned near the top before the transfer begins. That gives the feature a…

Apple’s product blitz shows no signs of slowing down. After unveiling the iPhone 17e and a refreshed iPad Air, the company has now lifted the covers off new MacBook Pro models powered by its M5 Pro and M5 Max chips. The latest 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pro variants are built to raise the ceiling for performance, particularly in AI-heavy and graphics-intensive workflows. Apple says the M5 Pro and M5 Max feature its fastest CPU cores to date, paired with a redesigned GPU architecture focused on higher throughput and better efficiency. Each GPU core now includes enhanced neural acceleration, allowing complex…

A fresh 3C filing offers the clearest early look yet at Motorola’s Razr 70 Ultra, and the most useful detail is also the most practical. The listing points to 68W wired charging, which lines up with the current model instead of hinting at a bigger leap. Foldables are usually judged less by one flashy spec and more by how well the whole package works day to day. Charging speed, battery life, and heat all shape that experience. If this leak holds up, Motorola seems to be sticking with a setup it already trusts. The filing ties the phone to model…

OnePlus’ compact flagship might finally be preparing to leave China. The OnePlus 15T debuted as the brand’s latest premium “small” powerhouse phone, and new rumors hint that its global variant, the OnePlus 15s, could be launching overseas soon. The OnePlus 15s is tipped to launch in India by the end of Q2 2026 or in early Q3, and it is expected to be based on the China-only OnePlus 15T. The info arrives from tipster Debayan Roy, who said that the device could follow the same playbook as last year, when the China-exclusive OnePlus 13T was released in India later on…
