iPhone

The Apple iPhone 5C is currently more popular than it has been in a decade, with a platform for refurbished smartphones recording over 40,500 percent more searches for the smartphone than in the previous year. The smartphone is reportedly gaining popularity among younger users as a retro compact camera.

The Apple iPhone could become more compact again, after the smartphone has continued to grow since its launch in 2007. According to the latest information from a leaker, Apple is planning a new form factor with a wider display aspect ratio.

Leaked X-ray images point to Apple consolidating its spring 2027 iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e around a single design, separating the two mainly by camera hardware.

The Action Button could be phased out for future iPhones. Space constraints might see a dedicated key gone on the anniversary iPhone 20.

The DRAM crisis is also hitting Apple, as despite several price increases, Apple is making a far smaller profit margin on iPhone storage upgrades than before. While the company was still able to charge a markup of over 1,200 percent on the iPhone 17 Pro, Apple can now "only" charge three times its own costs.

The latest origami protective case for the Apple iPhone Duo is designed not only to protect the expensive foldable, but also to hold the device upright in both portrait and landscape orientations and provide a secure grip. The Moft Dynamic Folio and Folio Case are now available for pre-order.

The Apple iPhone Duo makes compromises despite its very high price, forgoing a telephoto camera, for example. Its successor could change that. A photo now purportedly shows a prototype that is already equipped with a triple rear camera.

The Nintendo 3DS may have retired years ago, but its games are still finding new places to run. Manic EMU's latest update promises better 3DS performance, improved compatibility and more flexibility for iPad users. There's also a redesigned SNES controller and a little something for fans of retro game soundtracks.

The Apple iPhone 17 has already become $100 more expensive since launch, and now Apple is reportedly planning to use the launch of the iPhone 18 as an excuse for another price increase. Apparently, hardly any new features are planned, but the base model of the iPhone 18 series is expected to receive at least two upgrades.

One company's misfortune is another's delight. Samsung has a long history of mocking Apple's decisions and products. Even the now quite viral mishap involving broken hinges and damaged displays is being exploited by the South Korean company's international marketing teams for their own purposes.

The Apple iPhone Duo is now officially out, and the phone is not having a great time. After reports emerged of the failure-prone hinge mechanism of the iPhone Duo, a Polish YouTuber tested the durability of the hinge by folding the iPhone Duo repeatedly. The phone failed after only 75,000 folds.

With iOS 27.2, Apple marks all images from Image Playground and more extensively edited photos with Google's invisible SynthID watermark. It is embedded in the pixels rather than the metadata and is designed to survive cropping and compression. However, it cannot be checked on the iPhone itself; Google's Detector is required.

The iPhone Duo lacks FaceTime's Eye Contact setting, which adjusts your gaze during video calls to make it look as though you are looking into the camera. Even iPhones with Touch ID have it, but the foldable does not. Apple has yet to explain why, but the camera's position beneath the inner display offers a plausible reason.

Apple has released iOS 27.2 and iPadOS 27.2, patching 163 security vulnerabilities, including flaws in Apple Intelligence and Hide My Email.

The iPhone Duo is Apple's first-ever foldable smartphone. However, the launch of the device has been spoiled by reported cases of hinge failures and broken inner displays. Samsung is apparently taking full advantage of this and is rubbing salt in the wounds of Apple.

iFixit's Apple Duo teardown reveals many details of Apple's first foldable phone, the iPhone Duo. The company uses oval pixels along with a matte screen in an attempt to minimize the screen crease, but the design of the hinge may be causing a pressure hotspot that is cracking some Duo smartphones within hours of use.

Some early iPhone Duo buyers have reported cracked inner displays within hours of receiving Apple's $1,999 foldable smartphone. One owner claims the screen broke after fewer than 20 folds, although the extent and cause of the reported failures remain unknown.

It does not even take brute force to turn the $2,000 iPhone Duo into e-waste. Apple`s reassuring IP68 certification suggesting protection against dust and water does not mean you can carelessly use it on the beach, as the JerryRigEverything durability test shows.

Anyone buying the iPhone Duo at a US Apple Store will reportedly be greeted by name when they first turn it on, according to Mark Gurman. The feature is exclusive to the foldable, available only in the US and only in English and Spanish. In Germany, the iPhone Duo launches on October 23 without it.

Expensive memory, higher prices, subdued demand: According to Nikkei Asia, Apple reportedly reduced component orders for the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max by 15 to 20 percent in October. However, the signal is not quite as clear-cut as it sounds.
