Oppo has officially introduced the latest additions to its Reno lineup, the Oppo Reno 15 and Oppo Reno 15 Pro.

Oppo has opted for a flat rear panel paired with a metallic frame on both phones. The camera island resembles the layout seen on the iPhone 16 Pro, housing three rear sensors. The devices also come with Oppo’s Nano Ice Crystal Heat Dissipation system and hold IP66, IP68, and IP69 ratings, ensuring enhanced durability.

Another standout element is the holographic lithography design on the back, adding distinct shimmering patterns. The Reno 15 Pro features this design on one variant, while the Reno 15 extends it to both Starlight and Aurora Blue models. The Aurora Blue version measures 7.65mm thick and weighs about 205 grams, whereas the Starlight variant is slightly thicker at 7.99mm but lighter at 188 grams.

Oppo is offering the Reno 15 series in three colour options each. The Reno 15 comes in Starlight, Aurora Blue, and Canelé Brown. The Reno 15 Pro is available in Starlight, Honey Gold, and Canelé Brown.

The Reno 15 is equipped with a 6.32-inch flat OLED display offering a 1.5K resolution, 120Hz refresh rate, 240Hz touch sampling rate, 3,840Hz PWM dimming, and Oppo’s Crystal Shield Glass. It also delivers a peak brightness of up to 3,600 nits, classifying it as a compact mid-range device.

Powering both smartphones is the MediaTek Dimensity 8450 SoC paired with up to 16GB LPDDR5X RAM and as much as 1TB UFS 3.1 storage. Despite maintaining sub-8mm profiles, Oppo has managed to fit notably large batteries.

The Reno 15 packs a 6,200mAh battery with 80W fast charging, while the Pro model goes a step further with a 6,500mAh battery supporting 80W wired and 50W wireless charging. Additional features include stereo speakers, an in-display fingerprint sensor, an infrared blaster, Bluetooth 5.4, Wi-Fi 6, and ColorOS 16 based on Android 16.

Apple May Split iPhone 18 Launches Across 2026 and 2027, Foldable iPhone Expected Next Year, Says Gurman

0

Highlights

  • Apple will split the iPhone 18 series launch across fall 2026 and spring 2027, starting with Pro models and its first foldable iPhone.
  • The standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 are expected to arrive in the second phase, between March and May 2027.
  • Apple aims to improve rollout quality by spreading launches across seasons, offering 5–6 models annually.

Apple’s upcoming iPhone lineup may follow a completely new launch strategy, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Known for accurate Apple predictions, Gurman claims that the iPhone 18 series will not debut all at once. Instead, Apple is preparing a two-phase rollout that stretches across 2026 and 2027.

The shift is also expected to coincide with Apple’s entry into foldable smartphones and the introduction of new high-end designs.

iPhone 18 Pro, 18 Pro Max, and Foldable iPhone Expected in Fall 2026

In his latest Power On newsletter, Gurman reports that Apple will begin its new timeline in fall 2026, between September and November. During this window, the company is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and most notably, its first foldable iPhone. The foldable model is described as one of Apple’s most significant hardware launches in recent years.

This marks a major shift from Apple’s traditional fall cycle, which typically includes four models released together.

Standard iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and iPhone Air 2 May Arrive in Spring 2027

The remaining models in the iPhone 18 lineup are tipped to launch in spring 2027, likely between March and May. This second phase could include:

  • iPhone 18 (standard model)
  • iPhone 18e
  • iPhone Air 2 (a refreshed version of Apple’s lighter)

The staggered release pattern means Apple will complete the full lineup over two separate events rather than concentrating everything in one season.

Why Apple Is Changing Its Release Strategy?

Gurman explains that the shift is part of a broader overhaul of Apple’s annual smartphone schedule. For years, Apple pushed out almost all new iPhone models during the fall season. This predictable but intense cycle included two Pro models, two mid-tier models, and sometimes an additional SE or “e” variant earlier in the year.

However, this approach reportedly placed heavy strain on Apple’s engineering, marketing, and supply chain teams. At the end, this pressure may have contributed to issues like the rocky rollout of Apple Intelligence in 2024. By distributing launches across multiple seasons starting in 2026, Apple aims to reduce internal bottlenecks, provide smoother feature rollouts, and give each device more focused development time.

According to Gurman, Apple is expected to release five to six iPhone models annually. The aim is to offer customers more options throughout the year rather than clustering them in the fall.

More updates are likely as Apple finalises details ahead of the 2026 cycle.

FAQs

Q1. Will all iPhone 18 models launch at the same time?

Answer. No. Apple is expected to split the iPhone 18 series launch across two phases, Pro models and the foldable iPhone in fall 2026, and standard models in spring 2027.

Q2. When is Apple expected to launch its first foldable iPhone?

Answer. According to Mark Gurman, Apple plans to debut its first foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max between September and November 2026.

Q3. Why is Apple changing its iPhone release schedule?

Answer. Apple aims to reduce internal strain and improve product development by spreading launches across seasons, offering 5–6 models annually instead of clustering them in the fall.

Apple Pauses Mac Pro Refresh, No New Model Expected Anytime Soon: Gurman

0

Highlights

  • Apple has no immediate roadmap for a new Mac Pro with the M2 Ultra model from June 2023 remaining the top-tier desktop for now.
  • Apple sees Mac Studio as the future of its pro desktop strategy, offering similar performance at a lower price.
  • It is prioritising AI features, next-gen MacBooks, and Vision Pro development.

Apple may not update its Mac Pro lineup for the foreseeable future, according to a new report from Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman. Despite Apple’s steady progress in completing its transition to Apple Silicon across the entire Mac portfolio, the Mac Pro appears to be the outlier with no new model currently in development.

Gurman’s sources say Apple has “no immediate roadmap” for the next Mac Pro. This indicates that the version launched in June 2023 with the M2 Ultra chip will remain the company’s top-tier desktop for a while.

“From what I’ve heard inside the company, Apple has largely written off the Mac Pro,” Gurman writes. “The sentiment internally is that the Mac Studio now represents both the present and future of Apple’s professional desktop strategy.”

This signals a shift from Apple’s earlier expectations of more frequent updates to the Mac Pro after moving away from Intel processors.

Why Apple Is Delaying the Next Mac Pro?

According to the report, several key factors are driving Apple’s decision.

First of all, the Mac Pro targets a very specific professional segment, many of whom have instead gravitated toward the more affordable yet highly capable Mac Studio. With the M2 Ultra, Mac Studio delivers performance very close to the Mac Pro. This makes the higher-priced desktop less appealing to most users.

Apple is also reportedly focusing its internal resources on upcoming AI-driven features, next-generation MacBooks, and further development of the Vision Pro ecosystem.

What Pro Users Can Expect Next?

While the Mac Pro may remain unchanged for longer than anticipated, Apple is still expected to update its Mac Studio and MacBook Pro lines. Both have increasingly become the preferred choice for creative professionals, developers, and power users.

The current M2 Ultra Mac Pro will stay on shelves for now. However, those hoping for an M3 Ultra-powered refresh or expanded modularity may need to wait significantly longer than previously expected.

FAQs

Q1. Is Apple planning a new Mac Pro soon?

Answer. No. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple has no immediate roadmap for a new Mac Pro, and the current M2 Ultra model will remain unchanged for now.

Q2. Why is Apple pausing Mac Pro development?

Answer. Apple is shifting focus to Mac Studio, which offers similar performance at a lower price, and is prioritising AI features, next-gen MacBooks, and Vision Pro development.

Q3. What can pro users expect instead of a new Mac Pro?

Answer. Apple is expected to update its Mac Studio and MacBook Pro lines, which have become the preferred choice for creative professionals and developers.

So, What’s Really Happening With the iPhone Air 2 Amid Conflicting Reports?

0

Highlights

  • Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the iPhone Air 2 was never scheduled for 2025–2026, so it hasn’t been delayed due to poor sales.
  • Apple’s priority is upgrading to a 2nm A20 chip for better performance and battery life.
  • Gurman doubts the addition of a second rear camera.

The past week has been full of confusion for iPhone Air enthusiasts. A report from The Information claimed that Apple had indefinitely halted the iPhone Air 2 because of weaker-than-expected sales. Just a day later, another report countered this, suggesting the device had only been pushed back by six months from a planned fall 2026 launch to spring 2027.

Now, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has released new information that clarifies Apple’s actual plans for the iPhone Air 2.

What Bloomberg Says About the iPhone Air 2?

Gurman reports that the second-generation iPhone Air hadn’t actually been earmarked for next year, at least not in recent months,” which contradicts claims that Apple delayed the device due to low sales. Instead, it suggests the iPhone Air 2 was never part of Apple’s 2025–2026 lineup to begin with.

While The Information suggested the delay was needed to add a second rear camera, Gurman says Apple’s primary focus for the iPhone Air 2 is a major internal upgrade. It is transitioning to a new 2-nanometer processor. This next-gen chip is expected to be the A20 and built on TSMC’s second-gen 2nm (N2) process. It is anticipated to bring significant improvements to battery efficiency and overall performance. Multiple supply chain reports have also pointed to major advancements in this node.

As for the rumoured second camera, Gurman is skeptical. He writes, “Adding a second rear camera for ultrawide shots is technically possible, but I find that idea strange. The phone’s ‘plateau’ area (where the camera is located) is already crowded. Redoing that entire section just to add the least-used iPhone camera seems like a lot of work for a phone that few people are buying. The only scenario where this makes sense is if the foldable iPhone’s dual rear-camera design eventually trickles down to standard models.”

Apple reportedly designed the original iPhone Air expecting it to account for 6% to 8% of new iPhone sales. It is roughly the same performance as the iPhone 16 Plus.

When Will the iPhone Air 2 Launch?

Gurman does not provide a specific release date. Instead, he outlines Apple’s broader roadmap.

“Apple plans to unveil three high-end models — the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and a new foldable — in fall 2026. Then, roughly six months later, it will roll out the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e and potentially a refreshed iPhone Air. I expect this pattern to continue for years to come, with Apple launching between five and six new models annually,” Gurman explains.

This confirms that Apple never intended the iPhone Air to follow an annual update cycle, which is why it wasn’t branded as an “iPhone 17 Air.”

Why the iPhone Air Matters?

Gurman also reiterates that the iPhone Air plays a crucial role in Apple’s development of the upcoming iPhone Fold. The Air acts as both a “technology expertise and a prototype,” sharing many of the foldable’s core technologies, which includes –

  • materials
  • internal components
  • miniaturisation techniques
  • battery design
  • software optimisations

In short, the iPhone Air line is a stepping stone toward Apple’s foldable future. So, all said and done, it appears the second-generation model is progressing according to Apple’s long-term plan and not isn’t delayed due to sales.

FAQs

Q1. Has Apple delayed the iPhone Air 2 due to poor sales?

Answer. No. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman clarifies that the iPhone Air 2 was never scheduled for 2025–2026, so reports of delay due to weak sales are inaccurate.

Q2. What upgrades are expected in the iPhone Air 2?

Answer. Apple is reportedly focusing on a major internal upgrade: a 2nm A20 chip built on TSMC’s N2 process, aimed at boosting battery efficiency and performance.

Q3. How does the iPhone Air relate to Apple’s foldable plans?

Answer. The iPhone Air serves as a prototype platform for Apple’s foldable iPhone, sharing key technologies like materials, miniaturisation, battery design, and software optimisations.

It has already been confirmed that the OPPO Find X9 series will debut in India on November 18. Ahead of the launch, almost every major detail including specifications, variants, and colour options has already been revealed through official teasers and earlier reports. The series featuring Oppo Find X9 and Find X9 Pro was also unveiled in China last month. The only missing information until now was the pricing. And now even that has been revealed via an unexpected leak.

Popular Indian retailer Poorvika has seemingly revealed the pricing of the upcoming Oppo series. The listing on the retailer’s page offers an early look at the price tags before OPPO’s official announcement.

According to Poorvika’s listings, the OPPO Find X9 Pro will reportedly be priced at Rs 99,999 for the 16GB + 512GB configuration. The model will be available in Titanium Charcoal and Silk White colour options.

Meanwhile, the standard OPPO Find X9 is listed at Rs 84,999 for the 16GB + 512GB variant in Space Black and Titanium Grey colours. A lower-tier version featuring 12GB RAM + 256GB storage appears at Rs 74,999, also in the same two colours. These colour choices match earlier expectations for the Indian market.

There is nothing surprising in retailer listings getting leaked online ahead of launch events. While these prices are likely accurate, they should be treated as preliminary until OPPO officially confirms them at the November 18 launch event.

Poco Hong Kong has once again sparked excitement around the upcoming Poco F8 series. It has recently dropped a second teaser on Instagram, offering a clearer look at the rear camera design.

The brand first hinted at a new smartphone in October by sharing a sketch that revealed only a rectangular camera module. At that time, no other Poco devices were reportedly in development. This made everyone online assume that the teaser was actually linked to the much-anticipated Poco F8 lineup. Now, the recent sketch shows a clearer image.

It shows four circular cutouts arranged in a 2×2 grid, positioned next to a larger circular cutout. All cutouts are placed inside a rectangular camera deco. This layout closely resembles the camera module of the recently launched Redmi K90 series in China.
