A new Counterpoint Research report says pricing pressure from rising memory costs squeezed the low-end US smartphone segment in Q2 2026, with smaller manufacturers hit particularly hard as larger brands were better able to absorb component cost increases. Here are the details.

iPhone 18 Pro is being unveiled in mere weeks, and due to a lineup overhaul this year, it’s set to become Apple’s new default model like never before.

iPhone Ultra will be unveiled next month, and a new leak indicates the device’s front cameras could be positioned in unusual spots.

Apple’s base model iPhone 18 won’t launch until early 2027, but when it arrives, it could pack two new Pro-level upgrades.

Parents are being urged to revisit the screen time limits they impose on their kids when they head back to school. It says stressed parents may take a more relaxed attitude to screen time during the summer break, and this can prove seriously detrimental to their children once the new school term begins.

Additionally, experts say that the two hours a day limit previously recommended is now outdated, and parents should take a more sophisticated approach based on “the 5 Cs” …

iPhone 18 Pro is just a few weeks away, and rumors indicate it could bring an especially noteworthy batch of camera upgrades. Here are the three main camera features currently rumored.

Apple is rumored to use ‘iPhone Ultra’ branding for its upcoming foldable model, and Mark Gurman says that is indeed the name widely used within the company’s ranks.

The third iOS 27 public beta is now available for iPhone. It gives users an early chance to try Apple’s biggest software update of the year.

Siri AI is the headline feature. The release also includes a redesigned Screen Time experience, Liquid Glass refinements, performance upgrades, and dozens of quality-of-life changes.

Here’s how to install the beta, what’s new, and which features you should try first.

iPhone 18 Pro or iPhone Ultra? That’s the decision upgraders will face next month. Here are two iPhone Ultra features that ‘Pro’ users should really love.

Apple released iOS 27 beta 5 yesterday, with changes including new app icons and Spotlight design tweaks. As it turns out, the update also includes references to all the new iPhone models expected to be released over the next six to eight months.

Rumors have long indicated that Apple is working on an all-glass new iPhone design for the 20th anniversary next year. But an analyst from Jefferies believes that device is no longer moving forward.

I first saw the Ohsnap MCON controller at CES last year, and I immediately fell in love with the concept. The idea was simple: give people a full-featured mobile controller that attaches to your phone via Magsafe, slides open when ready to use, and collapses into something compact that can go with you anywhere. Over the last two weeks, I have put it through its paces. I have tossed it around, pressed the launch mechanism 100s of times, used it with emulators, Apple Arcade games, and with multiple phones. Here is how it has held up, along with everything you need to know.

Apple is set to announce the first-ever foldable iPhone next month. A new rumor today suggests that the iPhone Ultra might be available in two colors: silver and dark blue.

Apple is set to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro next month. Should you buy an iPhone now or wait for the iPhone 18 Pro? This year, my advice is a bit different. Here’s why.

Apple is widely expected to raise iPhone prices when the iPhone 18 Pro launches next month. But a new rumor suggests the iPhone 17 might get a price increase as early as next week.

When Apple unveiled the iPhone 13 back in 2021, it made a huge deal over a headline new feature, Cinematic mode. This is the video equivalent of Portrait mode, allowing you to select a focus point and blur the background.

Portrait mode has improved dramatically in successive generations, but the same cannot be said of Cinematic mode. The company appears to have completely lost interest in the feature, and although that’s understandable in one way, I would argue it’s a big mistake …

iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max will be unveiled soon, and rumors point to at least three ways the new models will be even more ‘Pro’ this year.

Counterpoint Research says Apple captured 65% of the premium smartphone market in the first half of 2026, as the segment grew to a record 29% of global smartphone sales. Here are the details.

GymKit has been one of Apple Watch’s smartest fitness features since it launched in 2017. Tap your watch to compatible gym equipment, and Apple Watch shares your heart rate while the machine sends back metrics like distance, incline, pace, and calories.

With iOS 27, Apple is expanding that idea beyond Apple Watch. I tested the new GymKit on iPhone and AirPods Pro 3 experience with a GymKit-compatible treadmill. It basically gives you the Apple Watch GymKit workout tracking experience, just without the watch. This could be useful in a lot of scenarios.
