Sonny Dickson has shared a real world photo of two clear cases purportedly for the iPhone 17 Pro series due out this fall. We’ve been expecting the rear camera bump to expand across the width of the phone, and these cases show just how mountain range-sized the camera bar will be.

Zens recently sent over their Quattro Charger Pro 4 to try after Apple started selling it, and it’s already become a family favorite. In testing, I also discovered a fun, off-label use that potential buyers may appreciate.

There’s a lot going on in the world right now as President Trump last week announced tariffs on imports from other countries. Fearing a potential price increase, many customers are flocking to Apple Stores to buy new iPhones and other products before they get more expensive.

Apple makes the iPhone better every single year. But for a long time now, new models have been a bit “boring” compared to the product’s early days of innovation. According to rumors about what’s coming next, however, the iPhone’s “boring era” is ending this fall and staying gone for a while yet.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is preparing a ‘major shake-up’ for the 20th anniversary of the iPhone next year. One of the changes includes introducing a foldable iPhone for the first time, but the company is reportedly planning a ‘bold new Pro model.’

President Trump announced this week a series of tariffs imposed on the import of products from other countries, which will end up hitting many US companies like Apple – since most of its products come from China. Now it seems that Apple is considering expanding the assembly of iPhones in Brazil to get around the US tariffs.

This week, Trump announced his plans to implement wide-ranging tariffs on all imports into the United States. The move sent the stock market into a free fall, with Apple among many companies down over 10% for the week.

While the world prepares for the full impact of this move, here’s what I think is some straightforward advice for iPhone buyers.

The Trump administration yesterday announced punishing import tariffs on a long list of countries, including all of Apple’s key manufacturing hubs. It’s been estimated that this would force the company to either increase US prices by 40% or see its profit slashed by 32%.

The news saw stock market slumps around the world, with AAPL stock falling more than 7% in pre-market trading on fears of the impact …

iPhone farms – banks of phones equipped with rotating temporary Apple IDs – are being used to send more 100,000 scam iMessages per day, found security researchers.

By using iMessages rather than texts, scammers can bypass spam and scam filters implemented by mobile carriers. Fraudsters don’t even need any technical skills to carry out their attacks, as there are companies offering phishing-as-a-service (PhAAS) …

The just-released iPhone software update has a bunch of headline features including Priority Notifications, new emoji, Sketch in Image Playgrounds and more, but iOS 18.4 also has some more under-the-radar changes.

As spotted by Mysk, iOS 18.4 adds a new setting buried in Location Services called ‘Improve Location Accuracy’. For some users, including myself, it was on by default. Here’s what Apple says this toggle does …

The number of Made in India iPhones is expected to more than double this year, as Apple seeks to further reduce its dependence on China, says a local report.

If you’ve been holding out hope that Apple might soon release a new “mini” version of the iPhone, it’s time to move on. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that Apple has no plans to release another “iPhone mini” device.

At WWDC in 2020, Apple announced a new car key feature that lets people use the Wallet app on the iPhone or Apple Watch to control their car. While adoption of this feature has been slow, head below to find the full list of cars that support Apple car key integration.

Apple has been rumored to be working on new foldable devices, which will be a first for the Cupertino-based company. A new report by analyst Jeff Pu of GF Securities not only corroborates the launch of Apple’s first foldable in 2026, but suggests that it will help the company recover from lower iPhone sales in 2025.

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today shared his expectations for the upcoming Apple foldable iPhone, which is set to launch in 2026.

Kuo says the Apple foldable is positioned as a top-tier iPhone, with accompanying eyewatering price tag. It may cost well in excess of $2000. However, customers are expected to get premium hardware specs including a display that does not visibly crease when folded, stainless steel and titanium alloy hinge, in a casing that is just 4.5 mm thick when unfolded. However, the thinness also may come at the price of Face ID, with Kuo predicting that Touch ID will return.

Xiaomi has mostly made a living from copying everything coming out of Cupertino, but it’s lately done a couple of things I wouldn’t mind seeing Apple copy.

First there was the design of its 15 Ultra smartphone, and now it’s shown-off an interesting-looking concept that I think could make the basis of an excellent Apple Camera Lens module for iPhone …

Modern phones, like the iPhone 16, have a large internal battery capacity. Recharging that battery can take about four hours, if using the slowest available charging methods. In best conditions, though, you can fast charge your iPhone from empty to 50% in 30 minutes, with a full 100% charge in about 2 hours.

The iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Pro support fast charging speeds over both the wired USB-C port, using fast charging power bricks, and via a new generation of wireless MagSafe chargers. Here’s what you need to fast charge iPhone 16 …

In the latest Power On newsletter, Mark Gurman reports that Apple plans on integrating future modems within the main chipset of the device. This means that, in the future, there won’t be both an A18 chipset alongside a separate C1 modem, instead they’ll all be one. This development will take a few years, though.

Yesterday, Apple launched the new iPhone 16e, the cheapest new iPhone model in the lineup. It brings Apple Intelligence, Face ID, USB-C, the 48MP Fusion camera, and much more – all down to a starting price of just $599.

Obviously, the iPhone 16e is a noteworthy upgrade over the iPhone SE 3. However, there’s an easy comparison to be made to previous generation entry-level iPhones, such as the iPhone 12, 13, 14 and even iPhone 15 – for many great reasons. We’ll be diving into that here.

The iPhone’s Low Power Mode is not a new feature. In fact, it was introduced with iOS 9 back in 2015. But from time to time I see someone on the web complaining about how their brand new iPhone is running slowly. What do some of these cases have in common? Screenshots or videos showing that Low Power Mode is on. Read on as I detail how exactly this feature affects iPhone performance.
