Rumored Apple chip expected in the iPhone 18 Pro, said to be the first Apple silicon built on TSMC's 2nm process with WMCM packaging.
Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple's OLED iPad mini will start near $799, $200 above the current $599 model. Any budget that assumes $599 for the next mini will come up $200 short on each unit.

Apple says the Duo's outer and inner displays share one aspect ratio, which spares app teams the reflow pass other foldables demand. The same phone has no Face ID, so the unlock prompt is where users meet the change.

Apple's foldable handles the unfold and scales apps across on its own, so the Duo work a mobile team actually owns narrows to how a layout fills the inner screen and whether a second window of the same app is worth building.

Apple added $100 to the price of every iPhone it carried into the new lineup, and the storage configurations that corporate fleets actually order went up by several times that.

Apple has priced the iPhone 18 Pro from £1,199, £100 above last year's models, a rise the Guardian blames on memory costs. Its faster chip and longer battery are real gains, but they make a thin case for retiring year-old company phones early.

Matt Birchler's iPhone 18 Pro transcription test peaked at 447.9 words per second, then held just over 320 from the seventh run on. Only cooling from outside the phone lifted the sustained rate, so long on-device inference jobs should be sized to the lower number.

Images in Apple's own code, found by MacRumors contributor Aaron Perris, show an A20 Pro iPad mini 8, a HomePod mini 2 and a fourth-generation Apple TV 4K. Apple has set no date, so tablet buyers and app teams can plan on the hardware details sooner than on the October window the reports expect.

Apple's own code describes an A20 Pro iPad mini that Bloomberg's Mark Gurman expects to launch by the end of October. Anyone about to buy the current A17 Pro model should wait those few weeks, unless the purchase has a deadline that lands first.

Apple's first foldable leads the Galaxy Z Fold8 by 102 Geekbench points and costs up to 1.6 million won more than Samsung's Ultra, a premium industry analysts attribute partly to memory supply disruption.

The iPhone 18 Pro can apply the Cinematic look to video that was shot plain, which takes a choice off the shot list, while the aperture Apple sold on stage mostly picks itself unless you go into Pro mode.

The iPhone Duo starts at $1,999 for 256GB and runs to $3,199 for 2TB, making it the most expensive iPhone at launch, and it ships on October 23 into a category Samsung has led since 2019.

Qualcomm launched two 2nm Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 6 phone chips in Maui and pitched them for on-device AI agents, with an NPU up to 35% faster. The standard chip's NPU gains 14%, so agents meant for the widest set of phones get the smaller jump.

iFixit's teardown of the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max finds real precision in the new magnet-driven aperture and a service path that ends in whole-assembly replacement, plus screen frames that tore on the way in.

iFixit says a stuck aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro likely takes a new main camera assembly, and it points at the phone's improved cooling to explain the display frames that cracked on three of the four units it opened.

Qualcomm's first 2nm flagships come in two tiers. The 30-billion-parameter on-device ceiling and the 18MB of high-performance memory sit in the Extreme only, and both tiers will be sold as flagship phones.

Qualcomm's new top-tier Snapdragon can run a 30-billion-parameter model on the handset. The memory that makes on-device AI work is also the cost Counterpoint blames for an expected 14% fall in 2026 shipments.

Tom's Guide measured a 16% CPU gain on a Qualcomm Reference Design whose battery it calls unrepresentative. Apple's A20 Pro still leads single-core, and the Snapdragon's clearest win was lower gaming wattage.

The iPhone 18 Pro starts at $1,199 for 256GB where the iPhone 14 Pro started at $999 for 128GB. That is 20 percent more money for twice the base storage, before anyone asks which of four generations of features they will use.

Apple kept last year's design, so the gains sit in a 2nm chip and a bigger vapor chamber. The one job for app teams: a smaller Dynamic Island that now holds three Live Activities.
