Apple may charge an extra $50 for the iPhone 17 Pro. But it could also finally increase the 128GB base storage in favor of a roomier option.
A $50 price bump means the iPhone 17 Pro will cost $1,050 in the U.S. before taxes.
Apple’s upcoming affordable MacBook could launch as early as later this year. And it may only cost $599.
The new entrant to the MacBook lineup will supposedly use an A18 Pro chip, the same one that will power the upcoming iPhone 17.
Apple’s long-delayed next-gen Siri won’t just be smarter. It will use App Intents to let you control iPhone apps with your voice.
However, due to reliability concerns, Apple may limit this feature’s rollout to select third-party apps.
A new act in Japan will force Apple to open the iPhone’s App Store to non-WebKit browsers later this year. Apple currently only allows non-WebKit browsers in the EU App Store, all due to the Digital Markets Act.
Yet, all major iPhone browsers, including Chrome and Firefox, use the same WebKit engine as Safari on iOS. This is despite them using a different engine on desktop.
As part of its additional $100 billion investment in US domestic manufacturing, Apple is entering into a chip manufacturing partnership with Samsung. The Korean company will fabricate next-gen chips for Apple at its Texas foundry.
The companies will work together to “launch an innovative new technology for making chips, which has never been used before anywhere in the world.”
An image discovered in iOS 26 beta 5 suggests the Apple Watch Ultra 3 will feature a slightly higher-resolution display. This hints at a modest screen size bump as well.
The leaked resolution of 422 × 514 is only slightly higher than the Ultra 2’s screen resolution of 410 × 502. Assuming the same pixel density, this would mean a 1.97-inch display, up from a 1.92-inch display.
Google’s newest teaser for its upcoming Pixel 10 lineup mocks Apple’s failed rollout of a new, smarter Siri. “If you buy a new phone because of a feature that’s coming soon, but it’s been coming soon for a full year, you could change your definition of soon,” says Google in the ad.
It recommends frustrated users to “just change your phone” and gives a glimpse of the Pixel 10 at the end.
Apple’s new internal team, “Answers, Knowledge and Information,” is apparently developing a ChatGPT-like search tool. It will reportedly use an “answer engine’ that will crawl the web to answer simple search queries.
The tool is still in the early stages of development, so it won’t go live anytime soon.
The folding iPhone rumored to arrive in 2026 might mark a major turning point for foldable devices. But to pull that off, Apple’s first folding phone needs to do more than just look good — it needs to nail the fundamentals.
From durability and design to software and camera performance, here’s everything I want to see in the foldable iPhone.
Newly leaked photos reportedly show off the iPhone 17 Air’s small battery. Apple will seemingly enclose the super-slim phone’s battery in a metal shell for added protection and structural rigidity.
The battery supposedly will feature a relatively modest capacity of 2,900mAh.
Verizon will stop bundling a free Apple Arcade subscription with its older 5G plans later this year. The carrier started offering this perk in 2021 in a bid to acquire more customers.
A standalone Apple Arcade membership costs $6.99 per month.
Apple will expand its retail footprint in India and open new stores in the country this year. It will also open its fifth retail store in the United Arab Emirates before the end of 2025.
The company recently launched its online store in Saudi Arabia, marking a major expansion of its presence in the Middle East.
Dropbox will shut down its password manager, Dropbox Passwords, in late October. However, it will begin winding down support well before then.
Dropbox says it is doing this to focus on its core product: cloud storage service. To reduce inconvenience to its users, the company will discontinue the service in a phased manner.
Leaked iPhone 17 dummy units give us a look at the lineup’s potential color palette. If accurate, Apple will supposedly offer the iPhone 17 Pro lineup in a bold orange color this year.
The iPhone 17 Air and base iPhone 17 will seemingly come in more muted shades.
iPhone shipments in the US declined by a whopping 11% to 13.3 million units. This is despite the market itself growing by a modest 1% annually.
Samsung made the most of the slowdown in iPhone sales, with its shipments growing by 38% YoY.
An alleged iPhone 17 Pro prototype may have just made its first real-world appearance. Blurry images shared online show what looks like a masked iPhone — one that closely matches the design rumors for the iPhone 17 Pro.
While the authenticity is hard to verify, the timing and details point to this possibly being a late prototype unit.
As a power user, I find Mac window management clunky and broken when using the options built into macOS. Switching between apps, and snapping apps into desired screen locations, should not be so frustrating.
So, I took matters into my own hands — streamlining how I snap, switch and manage windows to finally make macOS work for me, not against me.
Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Pro may pack bigger camera changes than initially rumored. It could sport a higher resolution 8x zoom camera, a new pro camera app with advanced manual controls, and another Camera Control button on the phone’s top edge.
The information comes from a tipster working for a company producing an iPhone 17 Pro commercial.
CarPlay Ultra’s adoption keeps hitting one roadblock after another. German automaker BMW has decided against integrating CarPlay Ultra into its vehicles.
Instead, BMW will focus on bringing its revamped iDrive experience to its future vehicles.
Like Apple One, Apple on Wednesday introduced a new AppleCare bundle for protecting multiple Apple devices. Dubbed AppleCare One, it extends the warranty and provides accidental damage protection to three Apple devices.
Pricing starts from $19.99 per month, with an option to add more devices by paying an additional $5.99 per device every month.
Apple’s first folding iPhone may sport a display smaller than Samsung’s recently unveiled Galaxy Z Fold 7. It will supposedly pack a 5.5-inch cover display and a 7.8-inch internal screen — both smaller than the Z Fold 7.
Other book-style foldables from Chinese companies also pack larger outer and inner displays.

While there’s no shortage of Thunderbolt docks, the OWC 11-port Thunderbolt 5 dock stands out for several reasons. As you’ll see in my review, it packs plenty of Thunderbolt 5 and USB-A ports, along with SD card slots and the ability to fast charge your MacBook Pro at full speed.
Here’s what makes the OWC 11-port Thunderbolt 5 dock worth considering for your Mac.
Apple’s 2025 iPad Pro will reportedly sport dual front-facing cameras and Face ID scanners to address a major limitation in the previous version of the tablet: its struggles to work in portrait mode.
Last year, the company repositioned the front camera on the M4 iPad Pro to a landscape orientation, which solved some problems but caused others. Apple allegedly has a solution, though.
Apple sued notorious leaker Jon Prosser and an associate Thursday, alleging that they concocted a “scheme to break into an Apple development iPhone, steal Apple’s trade secrets, and profit from the theft.”
Prosser published several renders showcasing iOS 26’s rumored visionOS-inspired glassy redesign months before WWDC25. While not completely accurate, his leaks proved pretty much on point regarding the look of the Liquid Glass design language of Apple’s upcoming operating systems.
