News & Reviews:   apple rumours

Apple is well known for its iPhones and other i-devices, but not much so for its smart home products, as they tend to be in the shadow of the main lineup. This year, the company could be making a significant shift in that market by introducing a range of new devices and features, leveraging AI.

Smart glasses are a niche product, but don't be surprised when they become mainstream in the future. It may gain more momentum once major tech giants prepare to enter the market. Among them is Apple, which is reportedly developing its own low-power chips specifically for a new line of smart glasses.

According to leaks from trusted sources this week, we may have a good idea of Apple’s boldest iPhone roadmap to date. The leaks are reinforced by internal claims by Apple hardware chief John Ternus, embarking on "the most ambitious" iPhone development cycle.

While the Android phone brands are quite ahead with their foldable devices, Apple has yet to enter the game in this aspect. However, that could change as a new patent has been discovered, showcasing an Apple Watch with a foldable dual-screen display.

While a few Android brands are already on full steam ahead with their foldable devices, Apple has yet to manufacture even one. However, Macrumors.com reported that 2026 could be the year when we see an Apple foldable device, which has been a constant rumour.

No, we are not talking about the Apple TV 4K device but an actual TV set by Apple. Will it happen? Well, according to Mark Gurman from Bloomberg, he said the company has been evaluating the possibility and “may revisit the idea of making an Apple-branded TV set”.

Previously, we reported that Apple could have another event for the new Macs and iPads at the end of October. However, Mark Gurman from Bloomberg said otherwise, although the alleged date is not that far from our speculation.

With the launch of the iPhone 16 series around the world (including Malaysia), Apple is probably preparing for its next mini-event in October. Just like for the past few years, there is a good chance that Apple is going to announce new MacBook, Mac and iPad devices.

Editor's Note - The "leaked" invite turned out to be a fake because this guy had nothing else to do

When the iPhone 16 series launches in September, only some of the Apple Intelligence features will be available. But in this latest news, there are new rumours that Apple may actually put a price on Apple Intelligence of up to $20 (~RM89).
