iPhone 18 Pro Might Get A New Display Design, Apple Eyeing Staggered iPhone 18 Series Launch Schedule: Report

0

Highlights

  • Apple is moving towards a bezel-less iPhone by placing Face ID components under the screen in 2026.
  • Apple may launch iPhone 18 series models in two phases – Pro and Air versions in September 2026, followed by the standard iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e in spring 2027.
  • Apple may also introduce its first-ever foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max in 2026.

Apple has been working towards the goal of a completely edge-to-edge iPhone display for years now. It means no notches, no bezels and just an uninterrupted screen. Over the years, this goal has led to some big design changes like the introduction of the Dynamic Island that replaced the notch on recent models like the iPhone 16.

This year’s iPhone 17 is expected to stick with that same Dynamic Island design with no major bezel changes. But in 2026 and 2027, Apple is reportedly planning bigger steps toward a truly all-screen iPhone.

According to a recent The Information report, Apple plans to move the Face ID components under the display by 2026, which would eliminate the pill-shaped cutout in the current design. That would leave just one small cutout, specifically for the front-facing camera, on models like the iPhone 18 Pro.

But the twist is that the camera cutout may not be centred. According to Wayne Ma from The Information, it could be placed in the top-left corner of the screen.

As the report puts it, “The design of the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will include only a small hole cutout in the top-left corner to accommodate the front-facing camera, according to a person with direct knowledge of the matter. This design is a precursor to at least one 2027 iPhone model that will place the front-facing camera underneath the screen to enable a truly edge-to-edge display, two of the people said. Such a move would coincide with the 20-year anniversary of the first iPhone.”

This wouldn’t be the first smartphone with a top-left selfie camera, but it would definitely be a big design shift for Apple, which usually sticks to a more symmetrical layout.

Apple Might Stagger iPhone 18 Series Launch

Wayne Ma, in The Information report, also hints that Apple may be changing its iPhone release schedule starting with the iPhone 18 lineup. Instead of releasing all models at once in the fall, Apple may launch some in the usual September window and others in the spring.

This new approach is part of Apple’s effort to “rejuvenate” iPhone sales, which have slowed down in recent years as yearly upgrades have gotten smaller.

It starts this year with the launch of the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air, though suppliers are reportedly not very confident about its performance. The report says the 17 Air only makes up about 10% of production capacity.

If that model doesn’t do well, manufacturers are ready to shift its production capacity to other models.

From 2026 onward, Apple plans to separate its releases into two phases. In September 2026, Apple will launch the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max and possibly its first-ever foldable iPhone. Then in spring 2027, Apple will release the standard iPhone 18 and the next version of the budget-friendly iPhone 16e, likely called iPhone 18e.

As the report explains, “The iPhone 18 series will include updated versions of Apple’s thin iPhone, Pro and Pro Max, along with the new foldable device. In spring 2027, Apple plans to release the standard iPhone 18 and a successor to the more budget-friendly iPhone 16e, the people said.”

Both those models, which are based on older and less complicated designs, will undergo manufacturing trials first in India as part of Apple’s efforts to reduce its manufacturing risk in China, two of the people said,” it further adds.

This means we probably won’t see a new iPhone 17e model next year. And with a staggered launch strategy, Apple could better spread out demand and possibly boost sales throughout the year.

FAQs

Q1. What design changes are expected for the iPhone 18 Pro display?

Answer. Apple plans to move Face ID components under the display by 2026, eliminating the pill-shaped cutout. The iPhone 18 Pro will have only a small front-camera cutout in the top-left corner, paving the way for a fully edge-to-edge display by 2027.

Q2. Will Apple change its iPhone launch schedule starting with the iPhone 18 series?

Answer. Yes, Apple may stagger its iPhone releases, launching Pro and Air models in September 2026, followed by the standard iPhone 18 and budget-friendly iPhone 18e in spring 2027.

Q3. Is Apple working on a foldable iPhone?

Answer. Apple may introduce its first-ever foldable iPhone alongside the iPhone 18 Air, iPhone 18 Pro, and iPhone 18 Pro Max in 2026.

Apple’s Chip Strategy – C1 to C3 Modems, Proxima Wi-Fi and the Future of Apple Silicon

0

Highlights

  • Apple’s upcoming C2 and C3 modems (2026 and 2027) aim to match and surpass Qualcomm’s capabilities.
  • Apple plans to replace Broadcom’s networking chips with its own Proxima chip, expected to launch in 2025.
  • This chip will support Wi-Fi 6E and may debut in HomePod mini, Apple TV, iPhones, iPads, and Macs.
  • Apple is considering integrating its modem technology directly into Apple Silicon chips by 2028.

It has been obvious for a while that Apple wants more control over the chips inside your iPhone. A recent report has now shed some light on Apple’s strategy when it comes to chips.

C1 Modem Was Built for Efficiency

Apple introduced its first in-house modem, the C1, with the iPhone 16e earlier this year. It’s focused on efficiency, not peak performance. It doesn’t support 5G mmWave and lacks support for some wavelengths handled by Qualcomm’s modems. Even so, it performs well in testing. Apple calls it “the most power-efficient modem ever on an iPhone, delivering fast and reliable 5G cellular connectivity.”

Because it’s more about saving power than delivering the fastest speeds, the C1 isn’t coming to most iPhone 17 models. But it’s expected to appear in the iPhone 17 Air, where efficiency is key for the thinner design.

C2 and C3 Modems Are on the Way

Apple is already working on future modems. According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to fully replace Qualcomm within two generations.

In 2026, Apple will launch the C2 modem codenamed Ganymede with the iPhone 18 lineup. It’s also coming to iPads in 2027. Gurman says, “The big difference is that Ganymede will catch up to current Qualcomm modems by adding support for mmWave, download speeds of 6 gigabits per second, six-carrier aggregation when using Sub-6, and eight-carrier aggregation when using mmWave.”

Then in 2027, the C3 modem codenamed Prometheus will debut alongside the iPhone 19 series. Gurman adds, “In 2027, Apple aims to roll out its third modem, code-named Prometheus. The company hopes to top Qualcomm with that component’s performance and artificial intelligence features by that point. It will also build in support for next-generation satellite networks.”

Meanwhile, Apple is also thinking about bringing cellular connectivity to MacBooks, possibly starting in 2026, thanks to these new in-house modems.

New Networking Chip: Proxima

Apple isn’t just looking to ditch Qualcomm. It also wants to stop using Broadcom’s networking chips. A new in-house chip, codenamed Proxima, might launch later this year.

According to Gurman, it supports Wi-Fi 6E and is most likely to debut in updated HomePod mini and Apple TV models this year. Gurman also notes that it could potentially serve as a Wi-Fi router and is expected in some iPhone models this year, and iPads and Macs in 2026

Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo believes Apple will go even further. He says the entire iPhone 17 lineup will feature the chip, not just the iPhone 17 Air and that it will “enhance connectivity across Apple devices,” while also reducing cost.

Modem Integration Into Apple Silicon

Once Apple finishes switching to its own modems, it may go a step further and build them right into its main Apple Silicon chips. So instead of having an A18 chip and a separate C1 chip, everything would be in one package.

Gurman says this integration won’t happen until 2028 at the earliest, but it’s being considered. If it happens, it could lead to big improvements in both cost and efficiency.

FAQs

Q1. What is Apple’s first in-house modem, and how does it differ from Qualcomm’s modems?

Answer. Apple’s first in-house modem, the C1, was introduced with the iPhone 16e. It focuses on efficiency rather than peak performance, lacking support for 5G mmWave and certain wavelengths handled by Qualcomm modems. Despite this, Apple calls it “the most power-efficient modem ever on an iPhone, delivering fast and reliable 5G cellular connectivity.”

Q2. What is the Apple Proxima networking chip, and when will it be released?

Answer. Apple is developing an in-house networking chip called Proxima to replace Broadcom’s chips. Expected to launch in 2025, it supports Wi-Fi 6E and may debut in updated HomePod mini, Apple TV, iPhone models and iPads and Macs in 2026.

Q3. When does Apple plan to integrate its modems into Apple Silicon chips?

Answer. Apple may integrate its modem technology directly into its main Apple Silicon chips by 2028 at the earliest. This move could lead to significant improvements in cost and efficiency.

iPhone 17 Air Could Be Apple’s Thinnest iPhone Yet, But With Shorter Battery Life, To Include Battery Case

0

Highlights

  • Report suggests only 60–70% of users of the iPhone 17 Air may get a full day of battery life.
  • To address battery limitations, Apple plans to reintroduce the battery case providing extra power and protection.
  • The phone is expected to have a single rear camera, a single speaker and no physical SIM slot, relying entirely on eSIM.

If you even remotely follow Apple’s rumour circle, you would already know that the upcoming iPhone 17 Air is shaping up to be Apple’s slimmest iPhone ever. However, as speculated by many tech experts, it seems this ultra-thin profile comes with a tradeoff – reduced battery life.

iPhone 17 Air To Have Small Battery Size

According to a report from The Information, only 60–70% of users are expected to get through a full day without needing to recharge the iPhone 17 Air. In comparison, 80–90% of users with other iPhone 17 models will likely get all-day battery.

The main reason isn’t a surprise. The iPhone 17 Air is just 5.5mm thick, making it the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made.

To make up for the smaller battery, Apple plans to bring back a discontinued accessory, the battery case. The new case will not only add extra battery life but also protect the phone. Apple hasn’t sold battery cases since the iPhone 11 series, instead switching to the MagSafe Battery Pack for newer models, which is now out of stock.

The report reads: “The percentage of users who can go a single day without recharging the thin phone will be between 60% and 70%. For other models, that metric is between 80% and 90%, one of the people said. To solve this, Apple is developing an optional accessory—a phone case meant for the thin model that also contains a battery pack, according to three people familiar with the matter.”

There’s still uncertainty about how well the iPhone 17 Air will sell. Some people might love the fresh, slim design, but others could be turned off by the battery compromises. Because of this mixed outlook, Apple is starting with limited production, only 10% of the total iPhone 17 units will be the Air version.

iPhone 17 Air – Case Samples Spotted Online

As for how it’ll feel in real life, case samples based on the iPhone 17 Air’s dimensions have surfaced online. These sample case images were shared by user @LusiRoy8 on X (formerly Twitter) recently.

We haven’t yet seen how the phone looks inside a case, but there’s a chance it could feel as slim as an iPhone 16 Pro without a case, which could be a win for users who want both style and protection.

The iPhone 17 Air will also be lighter, though its larger display may balance out some of the weight savings. For those who like using their phone without a case, the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air could feel great in hand.

But if the case adds back the thickness, the slim appeal might be lost.

iPhone 17 Air – What Else To Expect?

There are also a few more differences. The iPhone 17 Air will have just one rear camera, a single speaker, and no physical SIM slot, relying entirely on eSIM.

The next iPhone series is expected to launch in September 2025.

FAQs

Q1. How thin will the iPhone 17 Air be, and how does it affect battery life?

Answer. The iPhone 17 Air is expected to be just 5.5mm thick, making it Apple’s slimmest phone yet. However, only 60–70% of users may get a full day of battery life.

Q2. How is Apple addressing the battery limitations of the iPhone 17 Air?

Answer. Apple plans to bring back the battery case, last seen with the iPhone 11 series, to provide extra battery life while also serving as a protective accessory.

Q3. What features does the iPhone 17 Air lack compared to other models?

Answer. The device will have only one rear camera, a single speaker, and no physical SIM slot, relying entirely on eSIM. Additionally, its production will be limited to 10% of the total iPhone 17 units.

Google is getting ready to roll out its Gemini AI chatbot to kids under 13 but only with parental supervision through its Family Link service.

According to a report by The New York Times, Google recently sent an email to parents saying that Gemini will be available to younger users starting next week. Chrome Unboxed also reported receiving this same email on April 29. The email was sent to parents using Family Link, a tool that helps families manage parental controls across Google services like YouTube and Gmail.

For now, only children whose accounts are managed through Family Link will be able to access Gemini. The email reportedly says kids will be able to ask Gemini questions or get help with tasks like homework.

This update comes just after a warning from Common Sense Media, a nonprofit that said AI companions pose an “unacceptable risk” for users under 18. The group teamed up with researchers from Stanford’s Brainstorm Lab and published a report urging parents to block access to AI tools like Character.ai.

Character.ai allows users to create and talk with AI “characters.” According to Common Sense Media, “These AI ‘friends’ actively participate in sexual conversations and roleplay, responding to teens’ questions or requests with graphic details.”

While chatbots like Gemini and ChatGPT are different and built with guardrails to prevent misuse, recent reports have shown that bugs and workarounds can make it possible for kids to bypass these protections. For example, Mashable recently found a bug that allowed users to create erotic content using ChatGPT, and The Wall Street Journal reported a similar issue with Meta AI.

These incidents highlight a bigger issue even with rules in place, it’s easy to get around them online. Just like with access to pornography, which is illegal for people under 18 but still widely available, AI tools can also be misused by young users.

To complicate things further, President Donald Trump recently signed an executive order to promote AI education in U.S. schools, aiming to boost “AI literacy and proficiency of K-12 students.” With more kids likely to use AI for school projects, it becomes even more important for them to understand both the benefits and risks of this technology.

In its email, Google acknowledged these concerns and encouraged parents to “help your child think critically” when using Gemini, according to The New York Times.

FAQs

Q1. How can kids under 13 access Gemini AI?

Answer. Google is rolling out Gemini AI to younger users through Family Link, allowing parental supervision for controlled access to tasks like homework assistance.

Q2. Why are there concerns about Gemini AI use for minors?

Answer. Common Sense Media has warned that AI tools could pose an “unacceptable risk” for users under 18, citing cases where chatbots bypass protections and enable misuse.

Q3. How is AI education being promoted in schools?

Answer. A recent executive order aims to boost AI literacy for K-12 students, emphasising the need for responsible and informed usage of AI in education.

  • Other expected features – Android 16, powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chip, IP68 dust & water resistance and 30W fast charging.

It appears Motorola has already started working on the next G series smartphones soon after the launch of the Moto G 2025 and Moto G Power 2025. Recently, leaked renders have surfaced showing off a first look at the upcoming Moto G 2026 and Moto G Power 2026. At first glance, it seems he upcoming phones stick closely to the design of their predecessors but also bring fresh updates like 50MP cameras and new Pantone colours to offer something new to the customers. Here’s what we know.

Moto G 2026 and G Power 2026 Renders

The leaked images show both phones keeping the familiar look of the 2025 models. They are rumoured to feature 6.7 to 6.8-inch displays and a triple-camera setup. This includes a 50MP main sensor with OIS, an 8MP ultrawide lens, and what appears to be an ambient light sensor disguised as a third camera.

Meanwhile, the Moto G Power 2026 (XT2615-1) has a plastic back in Pantone 431C. The Power version looks a bit thicker, which could mean it’s packing a 5,000mAh battery, similar to last year’s model.

Moto G 2026 and G Power 2026 – What To Expect?

Both phones are expected to run Android 16 and could be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6400 chip, a small bump up from the Dimensity 6300 in the 2025 lineup.

Just like before, the earlier models offered vegan leather as an option, launched with Android 15, and came with a promise of two major Android updates.

Both phones are expected to include IP68 dust and water resistance and 30W fast charging.

There’s no official launch date yet but a January 2026 reveal after CES seems likely, following the same pattern as the 2025 series. The Moto G 2025 debuted at $199, while the G Power 2025 launched at $299 in the US. A December 2025 release for markets like India is also on the cards, sticking to Motorola’s usual schedule.

Whether these minor updates and new colour options will be enough remains to be seen, but more leaks should clear things up soon.
