The most likely iPhone 17 event date is now the rumored iPhone 17 event date. No surprises there. But when should we expect Apple to actually confirm the date of its next big product reveal, and what should you make of event invite “leaks” on social media?

After two years of titanium iPhone Pro models and many more years of stainless steel, Apple is rumored to be switching to aluminum for the iPhone 17 Pro. Titanium, instead, will be used on the ultra thin iPhone 17 Air.

That may seem like a step away from premium materials for the Pro model. For anyone bored by variations of gray for Apple’s best iPhones, however, it appears to be good news.

The design revamp brought about with iOS 26 brings all sorts of new animations along with the Liquid Glass visual treatments. With beta 6, Apple overhauled Springboard’s app launch animations for the first time in years.

Apps now launch to full-screen much faster than before, accompanied a minor warp effect that is reminiscent of how Mac windows minimise to the dock. The faster animation speed makes a big difference. It really feels like iOS 26 made your iPhone faster, even several-year old models …

If you’re trying to buy a new iPhone, it can often be hard to find something on a tighter budget. Sure, Apple offers the iPhone 16e at $599 – but not everyone finds that to be a compelling phone. Luckily, there’s plenty of great options if you want to buy used, and I’ll be delving into five great picks for varying needs.

Expectations are now firmly set: iPhone 17 Pro will come with a higher starting price and one less storage option.

Apple’s next iPhone lineup is getting closer to launch, and color may be one of the most exciting changes this year. Leaks suggest the iPhone 17 series will not only bring back some fan favorites but also introduce bold new shades, including one of the brightest colors ever offered for a Pro model.

We’re one day closer to Apple officially announcing the iPhone 17 Pro, and Majin Bu has one more rumor about something that could happen. This time it’s over a change to the iPhone 17 Pro antenna system…

Apple may not be merging macOS and iPadOS, but the two version 26 operating systems share a lot of similarities. Still, the quest to actually port the Mac operating system to the iPad continues.

iOS 26 is giving us a glass-like UI, but Apple’s long-term vision for the iPhone hardware is what former design chief Jony Ive referred to as a “single slab of glass.”

A new Apple patent application appears to refer to work on this, describing a “six-sided glass enclosure” …

I’ve been using the current M4 iPad Pro with the nano-texture display for more than a year now, and it’s reaffirmed my preference for anti-glare displays. Naturally, this made me want to nano-texture all the things. Apple’s anti-glare screen is limited to M4 iPad Pro and M4 MacBook Pro models for now. Fortunately, you can get a lot of the way there with quality anti-glare matte screen protectors for any iPhone, iPad, and MacBook. Here are the ones I’ve been using and endorse:

We all know the feeling we get after dropping our iPhone and immediately inspecting the glass for damage. Now imagine dropping your iPhone out of an airplane. That happened over the summer for conservationist Ashley Prange.

When Apple unveils the iPhone 17 lineup next month, it seems like we’ll also see a new version of Apple’s first-party protective cases as well. If the latest rumors are true, the iPhone 17 case lineup will take a design cue from the AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

Shifting final assembly of Apple products like iPhone from China to India has helped Apple avoid costly tariffs in the United States. But what happens when the US imposes similar tariffs in India to those seen in China?

Apple may say that most iPhones sold in the U.S. are now assembled in India, but that doesn’t necessarily mean Apple has reduced its reliance on China. Patrick McGee, who literally wrote the book on Apple in China, explains.

We’re about a month away from the unveiling of Apple’s new iPhone 17 lineup. But today, a new report from The Elec shares about a big display upgrade in the works for a future iPhone model.

Apple reported its fiscal Q3 2025 earnings today, beating analyst expectations in key categories like revenue, earnings per share, iPhone revenue, and more.

During a call with analysts today, Apple CEO Tim Cook revealed that Apple has just crossed another major milestone: shipping its three-billionth iPhone since its launch in 2007.

Most US iPhones are now made in India rather than China, as Apple rejigs its supply chain to avoid tariffs on products imported into America from China.

The strategy will certainly be of significant help to Apple at present, but there are two reasons why this could prove to be only a temporary solution …

Apple announced plans to turn the iPhone into your driver’s license all the way back in 2021. So far, just a few U.S. states actually let you add your driver’s license or state ID to Apple Wallet. However, there are more states without Wallet support where your iPhone can still become your driver’s license.

With worldwide government regulations increasingly cracking down on what content is available, and various streaming services increasingly locking content behind geographic paywalls, more and more people are turning to VPNs.

Setting up a VPN used to be complicated, but in the last decade, the process has become incredibly streamlined. Here’s how to set up and use a VPN on your iPhone.

In an interesting report out today, Canalys says that while the US smartphone market barely moved in total shipments during Q2 2025, Samsung and India saw huge growth, while Apple saw a rare double-digit dip. Here are the details.
