🔮 Gurman predicts the fall Apple Event's date 📰 Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports that Apple is likely to hold its annual iPhone event on Tuesday, September 8, 2026. 📆 The launch is usually supposed on the first Tuesday or Wednesday after Labor Day. This locks in September 8 as the most likely date, with September 9 the next likely possibility:

With that in mind, the most likely date for the debut of the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and foldable iPhone is Sept. 8, with Sept. 9 as the runner-up.

🤓 Either way, pre-orders are expected to open September 10-11. P.S. The estimated price of the foldable @iPhone starts at $2,000.

💻 First touchscreen MacBook Pro will run on M5 Pro and M5 Max Chips 📰 According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, Apple will release the first-ever touchscreen Mac laptops powered by the existing M5 Pro and M5 Max chips – skipping the next-gen M6 entirely. 📆 The new models will launch between late 2026 and early 2027, available in 14-inch and 16-inch sizes (codenamed K114 and K116).

🫆 What's new: • OLED display with touch support (a first for Mac) • Dynamic Island, iPhone-style • Redesigned, thinner chassis • Pricing expected to start at ~$4,000+ 🔮 What's next: Apple is already testing a second generation of touchscreen MacBooks – powered by M7 Pro and M7 Max chips with enhanced neural engines for AI workloads. Those are expected in late 2027. Notably, Apple has decided to skip M6 Pro and M6 Max altogether.

💸 Apple can’t escape the AI chip crunch We did warn you, though. 📈 Apple has raised prices on most of its product lineup as the AI boom fuels massive demand for memory and storage chips, pushing component costs higher across the industry. ℹ️ Tim Cook has previously warned that price hikes were becoming increasingly difficult to avoid, with AI data centers competing for the same hardware used in consumer devices. So far, iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches have avoided increases – but Apple says future pricing adjustments are still possible. @iPhone

😐 Samsung has started making displays for the foldable iPhone ☝️ Meanwhile the fpt. channel has published the highest-quality and most detailed renders shown above, compiling all the leaks in one place. 📰 According to The Elec, Samsung Display has received Apple's official approval and begun mass production of OLED modules for Apple's first foldable iPhone at its Vietnam facility.

Key details: • Initial order: 3 million panels for delivery this year • Production yield exceeded 80% (Apple's threshold is 70%) • Samsung is Apple's exclusive supplier under a 3-year deal • Panels feature CoE + M16 OLED tech – thinner and more power-efficient

🔩 The remaining wildcard is the hinge module, which sources say could affect the final launch timeline. A September debut is still possible, but late 2026 is the safer bet. #rumors @iPhone

📰 A major upgrade for the iPhone Air, expected to launch next spring 👨‍🔬 According to Mark Gurman, Apple is already actively testing the next-generation ultra-thin iPhone. The update is aimed at fixing two of the biggest complaints about the current model. What's new: • a second ultra-wide camera will be added; • battery life will improve thanks to the new A20 Pro chip built on a 2nm process.

• The device's dimensions are expected to remain unchanged, meaning the battery capacity will stay roughly the same. Instead, the longer battery life will come from the chip's improved power efficiency. • It's still unclear whether Apple will also add a second speaker and a full-featured USB-C port.

📆 As we informed earlier, Apple is also changing its iPhone release strategy. This fall, only the flagship lineup is expected to debut, including the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and the new foldable iPhone Ultra. The standard iPhone 18, second-generation iPhone Air, and iPhone 18e are now expected to arrive in spring 2027. @iPhone

🙂 Google unveiled its new smart speaker and it looks very familiar 📰 Google's latest Home speaker with built-in Gemini AI support bears a striking resemblance to Apple's HomePod mini, just with a slightly flatter design. ℹ️ Pre-orders are now live for $99.99, and buyers get 6 months of Google Home Premium included for free. @DailyApple

💸 Tim Cook warns Apple devices could become more expensive 📰 Apple CEO Tim Cook said some Apple devices may see price increases due to a growing shortage of memory chips. Chipmakers are increasingly shifting production toward AI servers and data center infrastructure, reducing supply for consumer electronics. 🏭 Instead of building its own memory factories, Apple plans to secure long-term supply agreements with manufacturers worldwide. Some of these deals may require approval from U.S. regulators because of national security requirements. 🤷‍♂️ Apple has not yet disclosed which devices could be affected by the potential price increases. @DailyApple

🆕 case for the upcoming foldable iPhone Ultra 🔎 The case design suggests Apple isn't planning any radical changes to its accessories. Instead, the company appears to be sticking with the materials and overall approach iPhone users have become familiar with over the years. Of course, this is still based on leaks, so take it with a grain of salt until Apple makes it official. #rumors @iPhone

🅰️ Apple is facing fresh privacy criticism over its new personalized App Store recommendations 🤔 The feature suggests apps based on user behavior, but reports reveal that Apple collects detailed App Store interaction data to power these recommendations — including every screen tap and even typing speed. The findings come from data users can request through Apple's privacy portal.

📰 According to researchers, this data collection is enabled by default and cannot be turned off, raising concerns about transparency and user consent. 🤨 The biggest criticism? Apple has built its brand around protecting user privacy, yet users aren't explicitly asked to opt in before this level of behavioral data is collected.

📰 Apple may have accidentally revealed the iPhone Fold and a touchscreen MacBook in iOS 27 and macOS 27 🤓 Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman examined the first beta versions of iOS 27 and macOS 27 and found signs that Apple is preparing two major new devices: a foldable iPhone and a MacBook with a touchscreen display.

🔎 References such as foldState and angleDegrees, along with updates to the iPhone Mirroring app, point to support for wider interface layouts similar to those used on an unfolded foldable smartphone. In macOS 27, changes to Sidecar and new gestures, including pull-to-refresh, suggest Apple is laying the groundwork for touch-based interaction on the desktop. Gurman also noted that the new pill-shaped Siri interface resembles Dynamic Island and could fit naturally into a future touchscreen MacBook experience.

🕵️‍♀️ While Apple has not commented on the findings, Gurman describes them as the first real evidence that both products are moving closer to launch. 🤞 According to current expectations, the iPhone Fold could debut as early as fall 2026, with a touchscreen MacBook potentially following shortly afterward. #rumors @iPhone

🤪 Same glassy look, finally with real control A new transparency slider in iOS 🍎 lets you adjust Liquid Glass anywhere from fully opaque to completely clear, instead of one forced default. Apple also added a darkened edge around glass elements and brighter highlights for more depth, and refined app icons with sharper edges and integrated Liquid Glass layers. New visuals 👍 / 👎? @DailyApple

⌚️ Telegram has officially launched on smartwatches 📱 Telegram has officially launched on smartwatches. A native messenger client is now available on Apple Watch, as well as Samsung, Google, and Xiaomi devices. 🤜 You can read messages, send stickers, record voice notes, and share your location – right from your wrist. #AppleWatch @iPhone

🍕 Apple invented a pizza box 📱 No, seriously. Apple Park employees are already using it – and yes, it was teased at WWDC 2026. Features? Of course there are features: • Unibody construction (naturally) • Built-in ventilation system • Stackable design • An official patent The pizza: $11. The box: $109. Pay Think different. Eat same. #humor @DailyApple

⏱️ It took 19 years to be able to adjust alarm volume separately from notifications iOS 🍎 finally lets you control alarm volume independently from other sounds. Until now, iOS used a single volume slider for everything. Now there are separate sliders: one for ringtones, one for alarms and timers, and one for notifications and system sounds. iOS 🍎 also brings oversized widgets and very small clock options on the lock screen, while macOS 27 gets a wider window for iPhone Mirroring. #iOS @DailyApple

🤩 This might be the most useful feature in iOS 27 🆕 Spatial Reframing is already being tested and the results are wild. Now iPhone users can shift the entire perspective after the fact – just drag and the AI rebuilds what's missing. No crop, no reshoot. 🤔 Early testers say even complex textures (faces, car lines) come out surprisingly clean. One reviewer called it "unlike anything I've come across on any other phone." ℹ️ The feature works inside the Photos app under the new Tools section. It's part of Apple Intelligence and runs on-device and Apple promise it's both fast and private. iOS 27 drops this fall. #features #iOS @iPhone
