Measurements of the iPhone Duo's Main camera module put it closer in size to the standard iPhone 17 and 17 Pro than to the smaller module used in the 16e and 17e, despite Apple listing the same "Hybrid Focus Pixels" autofocus design for the Duo and 17e.

Real-world hands-on videos have showcased just how visible the newly announced iPhone Duo's crease is. If the early videos are anything to go by, it does appear that the Duo has an edge over its primary foe, the Z Fold8.

The technically demanding rebuild required specialist tools, precision drilling, SSD microsoldering, fresh adhesives and a new waterproof seal before the device successfully booted with 100% battery capacity.

With the launch of the iPhone Ultra, Apple will soon offer six different iPhone models. A leaker suggests that the lineup could be streamlined with the launch of the iPhone Air 2, as the ultra-thin smartphone is expected to replace the base model outright. This, however, will make the entry-level iPhone more expensive.

Anthropic added CarPlay support to the Claude app without announcing it. Claude answers by voice in the car and does nothing else. It cannot touch vehicle controls, and only Siri responds to a wake word. CarPlay now supports five AI assistants. Google's Gemini is not one of them.

The iPhone Ultra is expected to be even more expensive.

A newly surfaced die shot suggests Apple's A20 Pro will pack a larger GPU alongside a reworked memory layout supporting a 96-bit LPDDR5X interface. NPU and ISP details are still unconfirmed, but the leak hints at substantial changes ahead of this fall's iPhone 18 Pro launch.

The first Apple iPhone with a foldable display will finally be officially unveiled in September.

As the iPhone 18 Pro manufacturing costs have risen over 40%, Apple is preparing to raise iPhone prices in line with what Google and Samsung did for their flagship phones. The good news is that it might eat some of the bill of materials increase and pass the rest on to the buyer.

The Apple iPhone 17 Pro (Max) normally only offers 4x optical zoom. Users who need a longer reach can expand the flagship smartphone’s zoom capability to 32x with a new telephoto converter. The Sandmarc lens is also compatible with older iPhone models.

The design of the Apple iPhone 18 Pro has changed so little that even iPhone 17 Pro cases can be used with the new model. At least, that’s what a major case manufacturer is suggesting, having already begun selling cases for Apple’s next-generation flagship.

In a new report, well-known Apple analyst Mark Gurman refutes recent claims by Jefferies that the all-glass anniversary iPhone has been cancelled for launch in 2027. According to his sources, the iPhone 20 Pro redesign is still on track to launch next year, however there will be changes to the initial plans.

Even though the iPhone Ultra, set to be Apple's first foldable smartphone, is over a month away, a Bloomberg analyst has already started revealing tidbits about the third-generation of the product.

The Apple iPhone 18 Pro (Max) and the iPhone Ultra may suffer from limited availability at launch, as just a few weeks before the announcement of the flagship smartphones, Apple is reportedly sitting on over a billion U.S. dollars’ worth of ARM processors for which there is simply no RAM available.
