  • New iPads may have super thin edges

    New iPads may have super thin edges

    Apple is planning to make its next iPad Pro models even sleeker with super-thin edges around the screen, thanks to a new technology called chip-on-film (CoF) from LG Innotek. This tech could make the iPad’s borders smaller, giving you more screen space without making the device bigger.

    It might also help the iPad use power more efficiently, which could mean longer battery life, though that’s not certain yet. Right now, Apple uses Samsung for its iPad Pro display chips, but switching to LG could lower costs and give Apple more options for suppliers.

    Reports suggest this change is aimed at the iPad Pro, which might also get a new M5 chip in late 2025. There’s talk of other upgrades too, like a logo designed for landscape use and a 5G modem made by Apple, possibly by 2027. Some rumors even hint at a foldable iPad Pro around the same time.

    While thinner edges sound cool, they could make the iPad trickier to hold without accidentally touching the screen. Apple’s great at preventing unwanted taps, though, so they might pull it off. Fans on forums are excited about bigger screens in the same-sized device, especially with iPadOS 26 making the iPad feel more like a laptop. No word yet on which exact iPad models will get these changes, but the Pro seems the most likely.

  • iPhone 17 Pro may get better cooling with new Vapor chamber

    iPhone 17 Pro may get better cooling with new Vapor chamber

    Apple is working on making the iPhone 17 Pro even better by adding a new way to keep it cool. According to recent reports, the iPhone 17 Pro could use a “vapor chamber” system. This is a special plate that spreads heat more evenly inside the phone, helping it stay cool when you’re playing games or using lots of apps at once.

    Photos have appeared online showing what might be the new vapor chamber plate for the iPhone 17 Pro. This part looks different from what’s inside current iPhones and could help prevent the phone from getting too hot. Right now, most iPhones use a simple cooling system that isn’t as effective during heavy use.

    Other phone brands, like Samsung and some gaming phones, already use vapor chambers to help with cooling. If Apple adds this feature, it could mean better performance and longer-lasting parts for the iPhone 17 Pro.

    The new iPhone 17 Pro is expected to come out in 2025. If these rumors are true, users could see a big improvement in how their iPhones handle heat, especially during demanding tasks. Apple hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but more details might come out as the launch date gets closer.

  • California may sue Trump over Apple tariffs

    California may sue Trump over Apple tariffs

    Rob Bonta, the California Attorney General, may challenge the federal government if Trump pushes for new tariffs against Apple. Bonta told the press in San Francisco that his office is observing Trump’s words and is ready to intervene if laws are broken or lawsuits are needed.

    Recently, Trump criticized Tim Cook for deciding to produce iPhones outside the U.S., saying Apple should be hit with at least a 25% tariff if it doesn’t bring production back to America. He said that Samsung and other tech companies might also be affected by these tariffs.

    Since she has challenged Trump policies before, Bonta met with local businesspeople to talk about how tariffs might disadvantage California’s companies. He said that Apple, with other leading companies, offers employment opportunities in California and helps keep the country’s economy among the top in the world.

    If Bonta’s office finds that Trump’s words may end up hurting Apple or other companies unfairly, he is prepared to step in and protect California businesses. Apple has remained silent about the situation for now.

    His latest threats have led Apple’s share price to drop and left other electronics companies uncertain about being hit by new tariffs.

  • Apple may delay under-screen face id for iPhones until 2026

    Apple may delay under-screen face id for iPhones until 2026

    Apple is still working on putting Face ID under the iPhone screen, but the upgrade might not come until 2026. According to a new report, the iPhone 18 Pro lineup could finally get this long-awaited feature, but it won’t happen with the iPhone 17 series in 2025.

    For years, Apple has aimed to hide Face ID components beneath the display to make the screen look cleaner and more modern. This change would remove the Dynamic Island, which currently holds the front camera and Face ID sensors. However, recent leaks say that the under-screen tech still isn’t ready for mass production, so Apple is keeping the current design for now.

    If things go as expected, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in 2026 might be the first to get this upgrade. Even then, the front camera will still be visible through a small hole, similar to what Samsung does on its Galaxy phones.

    In 2026, Apple may also bring other big updates. These could include a completely redesigned Apple Watch, a thinner iPhone model, and an improved Vision Pro headset. The thinner iPhone is expected to be even sleeker than the current iPhone 15 Pro, likely with a better display and camera setup.

    So while 2025 might bring only small changes, 2026 could be the year Apple makes some major moves in design and technology.

  • Apple plans to reveal Foldable iPhone details soon, but launch may take time

    Apple plans to reveal Foldable iPhone details soon, but launch may take time

    Apple is getting closer to sharing its plans for a foldable iPhone. According to a report from The Elec, Apple might reveal some early details about its foldable device by the end of 2025. However, it seems the actual launch will take longer, possibly until 2027.

    The foldable iPhone is expected to have a large 7- to 8-inch screen, similar to a small iPad mini when opened. Apple is reportedly working on two versions of the device, both using OLED displays. Right now, Samsung Display and LG Display are helping Apple with these new screen designs.

    The company is still making changes to the product because they want it to be very thin and light, even with the folding mechanism. Apple is also thinking about a foldable iPad separately, but it looks like the iPhone version is getting more attention first.

    Earlier rumors said Apple might launch a foldable device in 2026, but new reports suggest the project is more complicated and will need extra time. Apple is known for taking longer to perfect its designs, so it’s no surprise they aren’t rushing.

    While fans might have to wait a bit longer, the foldable iPhone is definitely in development, and it could be one of Apple’s most exciting products in the coming years.

     

  • Apple Foldable iPhone may feature punch-hole camera and side touch id

    Apple Foldable iPhone may feature punch-hole camera and side touch id

    A new report supports the idea that Apple is working on a foldable iPhone, and it may come with some unique features. According to a tip from a well-known display expert, Apple is thinking about adding a punch-hole front camera and a Touch ID sensor in the power button.

    The expert, Ross Young, shared on X (formerly Twitter) that the upcoming foldable iPhone might not have Face ID under the screen, at least in the early versions. Instead, Apple may use a punch-hole camera and place the Touch ID fingerprint sensor on the side button.

    This matches with an earlier report from a Korean news source that said Apple was planning a foldable phone with an “Infinity” design—meaning no notch or Face ID module visible. The device is expected to be a clamshell-style foldable, similar to Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip.

    Ross Young also mentioned that Apple’s foldable phone won’t launch anytime soon. He believes it could come in 2026 or later, which gives Apple more time to perfect the technology.

    While Apple hasn’t confirmed anything yet, this new report adds to the growing list of clues that a foldable iPhone is on the way—and it might come with design changes like a punch-hole camera and Touch ID in the power button.

  • Samsung unveils super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge to compete with iPhone 17 Air

    Samsung unveils super-thin Galaxy S25 Edge to compete with iPhone 17 Air

    At the Unpacked 2025 event, Samsung announced the new Galaxy S25, S25+, and S25 Ultra. But they saved a big surprise for last: they teased the Galaxy S25 Edge, a super thin phone.

    Galaxy S25 Edge vs. iPhone 17 Air

    Reporters from 9to5Google were at the event and saw the teaser for the Galaxy S25 Edge. We don’t know much yet – like when it will come out or what it can do. People guess it might be available in April or May. We only know for sure that it’s called the Galaxy S25 Edge.

    A recent report says the Galaxy S25 Edge might be about 6.4mm thick. On the other hand, Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 Air is rumored to be even thinner, at around 5.5mm.

    Samsung began working on the S25 Edge right after hearing about the iPhone 17 Air rumors last May, according to one report.

    Leaked images from SmartPrix show the S25 Edge will have three cameras on the back. The iPhone 17 Air, however, is expected to have just one 48MP camera in a long, bar-shaped design.

    In a chat with Bloomberg, TM Roh, who leads Samsung’s phone business, talked about the new S25 Edge. He said, “We’re putting the best tech from our Ultra model into a much thinner phone. People want great performance, amazing cameras, and smart AI, but they also want a phone that looks cool and stands out.”

    Roh added, “We want to make this phone cheaper than our Ultra models so more people can buy it.”

    This sneak peek at the Galaxy S25 Edge has certainly got everyone talking about how Samsung and Apple are racing to make the slimmest, most feature-packed phones.

  • New iPad Pro with M5 chip set for fall release

    New iPad Pro with M5 chip set for fall release

    Apple is gearing up to launch new iPad Pro models with its latest M5 chip later this year. According to reports, Samsung Display and LG Display have started mass-producing OLED screens for these devices. Last year, Samsung supplied the 11-inch OLED panels, while LG handled the 13-inch ones for the iPad Pro.

    This time, both companies will share production for both sizes, as Apple aims to strengthen its supply chain and expand OLED use. Plans are in place to bring OLED displays to the iPad mini in 2026 and the iPad Air in 2027. The upcoming iPad Pro won’t see big changes beyond the M5 chip, which will use TSMC’s advanced 3-nanometer technology for better performance and efficiency.

    One small tweak might be the Apple logo on the back, switching to a landscape orientation to look upright when used with a keyboard. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reported that these new iPad Pro models could hit stores around October, following the timeline of previous releases in 2018 and 2022.

    For comparison, the M4 iPad Pro models, which introduced OLED displays, a slimmer design, and Apple Pencil Pro support, launched in May 2024. This update focuses on performance rather than a major redesign, making it a solid but modest upgrade for iPad Pro fans.

  • Apple explores hidden camera for future iPhones

    Apple explores hidden camera for future iPhones

    Apple is said to be working on a cool new feature: a front camera that sits under the iPhone’s screen, creating a smooth, notch-free look. A report from The Information suggests that by 2027, at least one iPhone model might have its camera and Face ID sensors hidden beneath the display. This would give the phone a clean, full-screen design without any visible cutouts.

    The under-display camera idea isn’t new, but earlier versions struggled with fuzzy photos. Thanks to recent improvements, particularly from Samsung Display’s OLED technology, Apple may finally crack it. Samsung, a key supplier for iPhone screens, could help make the camera work seamlessly while keeping the screen sharp and vibrant.

    Apple has been down this road before. Whispers about the iPhone 18 Pro, due in 2026, mentioned a tiny camera hole in the screen’s corner. By 2027, Apple seems ready to go all-in with a fully hidden setup. That said, the regular iPhone 18 and iPhone 18 Air might keep the current Dynamic Island, with its two sensor holes and camera.

    If Apple nails this tech, it could change how phones look, offering a more immersive screen experience. For now, it’s just talk, but the thought of a sleek, uninterrupted iPhone display has fans buzzing.

  • Foldable iPad set to arrive next year, Expert Says

    Foldable iPad set to arrive next year, Expert Says

    A new kind of iPad might hit the shelves in 2026, according to a tech expert. Mark Gurman, a well-known analyst from Bloomberg, shared that Apple is working on a foldable iPad. This exciting gadget could change how we use tablets, blending the size of a big screen with the ease of carrying it anywhere.

    Gurman says this foldable iPad will likely have a screen around 8 inches when opened up. That’s close to the size of the iPad mini, which is 8.3 inches. When folded, it could fit in your pocket or bag more easily than regular iPads. Apple seems to be testing this idea to make something fresh and useful for its fans.

    The company has been exploring foldable screens for a while. Reports suggest Apple wants to perfect this tech before launching it. They’re focusing on making it thin, light, and strong—things Apple is famous for. This new iPad could also run the same apps you already love, but with a twist: the folding design might let you use it in cool new ways, like a mini laptop or a propped-up screen for watching videos.

    There’s no official word from Apple yet, so this is still a prediction. Gurman believes the launch might happen in 2026, or maybe 2027, depending on how fast Apple moves. Foldable devices are getting popular, with brands like Samsung already selling them. Apple’s take could shake things up, bringing its sleek style and smart features to the mix.

    Fans are buzzing about what this could mean. A foldable iPad might cost more than the usual models, but it could be worth it for the new experience. Keep an eye out—Apple might surprise us with this game-changer soon!
