News & Reviews:   apple rumours

According to industry analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, Apple’s first foldable iPhone — expected to debut in 2026 or early 2027 — could end up costing substantially less to manufacture than previously estimated. The savings come from one of the most mechanically complex parts of the device: its folding hinge.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is poised to usher in the next generation of its creative hardware lineup with the imminent launch of the M5-powered MacBook Pro and iPad Pro, a key milestone in its transition to AI-driven computing. The move comes as part of Apple's broader strategy to integrate artificial intelligence across its devices and respond to shifting market dynamics.

According to Bloomberg, Apple is casting hardware division head John Ternus into the succession spotlight, as internal preparations intensify for a post-Tim Cook leadership era. Meanwhile, the company has quietly shelved its “Vision Air” headset project to focus on refining its core product lines.

New leaks and reports suggest Apple is preparing a foldable iPhone for launch in fall 2026, tentatively alongside the iPhone 18 lineup. One of the more interesting rumours: its design may resemble two iPhone Airs side by side, with a slim, sleek titanium chassis.

Apple’s newly unveiled iOS 26 introduces a bold new design language called Liquid Glass, and it’s more than just a visual refresh—it may be laying the groundwork for Apple’s most radical iPhone redesign yet.

According to recent discoveries in iOS 26 beta 6, Apple appears to be preparing a Live Translation feature for AirPods. The beta code includes imagery labelled “Translate” showing AirPods alongside greetings like “Hello” in multiple languages, and suggests activation via a double-press gesture on the stems.

We have been talking a lot about Apple’s rumoured foldable iPhone. As it is inching ever closer to reality, today’s leaks offer revealing insights into its battery size, possible pricing, and what might make it stand out.

As we reported before, Apple could be changing the iOS 19 name to iOS 26 to coincide with the year. That said, the company will introduce a suite of new features for AirPods with the upcoming update.

Although it's not confirmed yet, MacRumors reports that Apple could be changing the iOS 19 name to iOS 26. Why 26? Well, this is so that it aligns the operating system naming with the upcoming year. It is expected to be announced at WWDC on 9 June 2025, aiming to unify the versions across other platforms.

It was only yesterday that we reported Apple could be planning to expand its smart home devices. In another related news, the company may be preparing to introduce a dedicated gaming application for its ecosystem, connecting the iPhone, iPad, Mac and Apple TV altogether.
