iPhone 17 lineup rumours are all over the place. The latest word is coming from Korean media and it is good news for all Apple fans out there.

A recent report by South Korean ETNews suggests that Apple’s upcoming iPhone 17 lineup could feature 120Hz ProMotion displays with LTPO technology for all models.

This includes the standard versions and the rumoured iPhone 17 Air or iPhone 17 Slim. If true, this would mean the iPhone 17 will have smoother scrolling and will close the gap between Pro and standard iPhones.

iPhone 17 and ‘iPhone 17 Air’ Again Rumored to Feature 120Hz ProMotion Displays.

As of now, we have only seen the ProMotion displays exclusively on Apple’s Pro models starting with the iPhone 13 Pro.

This has left the standard models with a basic 60Hz refresh rate.

Bringing 120Hz displays to all iPhone 17 models could make the base models more competitive, especially as high refresh rates are widely adopted in Android flagship phones.

LTPO (low-temperature polycrystalline oxide) technology is a big part of this upgrade allowing variable refresh rates that adapt to what’s on the screen. This means the display can save battery when high refresh rates aren’t needed and provide a smooth experience when they are.

On current iPhone Pro models, ProMotion can even drop down to 1Hz to save power. While it’s unknown if the iPhone 17 base models will go that low, the leap to 120Hz is a substantial improvement.

Apple is reportedly partnering with Samsung and LG to supply these displays, with no plans yet to source LTPO panels from Chinese suppliers.

This move would align with Apple’s trend of reducing the feature differences between Pro and standard models, following the iPhone 16 series, which had fewer differences than ever.

Industry analyst Ross Young has previously hinted that 120Hz could come to non-Pro iPhones with the iPhone 17 series. ETNews’ latest report adds weight to this rumour suggesting that a major display upgrade might be coming for all iPhone 17 models.

In addition to the display upgrades, the iPhone 17 will reportedly feature a new Wi-Fi 7 chip developed by Apple, produced with TSMC’s 7nm process, replacing Broadcom’s chip to reduce costs. Apple is also developing its own 5G modem, which is expected to debut in the next iPhone SE model.

The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to come out in fall 2025.

FAQs

Q1. What is the expected display feature of the iPhone 17 lineup?

Answer. The iPhone 17 lineup could feature 120Hz ProMotion displays with LTPO technology for all models, including the standard versions.

Q2. Which company is Apple partnering with for the iPhone 17 displays?

Answer. Apple is partnering with Samsung and LG to supply these displays, with no plans yet to source LTPO panels from Chinese suppliers.

Q3. When is the iPhone 17 lineup expected to be released?

Answer. The iPhone 17 lineup is expected to come out in fall 2025.

We know Samsung has been developing its own extended reality (XR) headset for about a year but there have not been any confirmations so far. Now the company finally gave us a hint that we might get something next year.

During its latest earnings call, the company hinted at the plans to “improve connectivity among products including upcoming XR devices.”

This is not the first hint, though earlier hints were all unofficial.

A recent Daily Korea report suggested that Samsung is accelerating its XR release plans especially since LG has scrapped its premium Meta Horizon OS headset launch scheduled for 2025 and Apple has paused work on the Vision Pro 2 to focus on a more affordable version.

Samsung’s XR headset to launch in 2025, company confirms

Meanwhile, industry experts at Tom’s Guide predicted that Samsung’s XR headset will use a Qualcomm chip and will likely operate on a platform from Google. This prediction aligns with Google’s Rick Osterloh’s announcement at Galaxy Unpacked 2024 when he hinted at a new XR platform launching soon.

Contrary to these, reports from SBS Biz indicate that Samsung decided to rework the design of its XR headset after the Vision Pro reveal. It revealed that the initial concept did not meet Samsung’s own high standards.

Moreover, Android Authority also recently reported that Google is planning to support apps specifically designed for XR headsets further signalling Samsung’s plans. And the Information also notes that Google has been pitching its Android XR platform to other companies, though Samsung remains the only major brand showing clear interest.

But what will Samsung’s XR headset look like?

Samsung reported that it submitted a patent application about two years ago in South Korea for a pair of mobile controllers. These devices could attach to a central charging dock.

The filing included paperwork including a photo of the hardware in question. SamMobile resurfaced that filing this week, and we have to admit: Those really do look like they could be the controllers you use with an XR headset. The translated text even identifies this as a “Metaverse Controller.”

FAQs

Q1. When is Samsung planning to unveil its XR headset?

Answer. Samsung is planning to unveil its XR headset in 2025.

Q2. Why did Samsung accelerate its XR headset plans release?

Answer. LG has scrapped its premium Meta Horizon OS headset launch scheduled for 2025, and Apple has paused work on the Vision Pro 2 to focus on a more affordable version.

Q3. What did Samsung submit a patent application for in South Korea two years ago?

Answer. Samsung reported that it submitted a patent application about two years ago in South Korea for a pair of mobile controllers.

  • An X user highlighted a price difference on Flipkart for Apple and Android users.
  • As per the screenshot shared, the product shows a lower price on Android compared to iOS.
  • Flipkart explained that prices may vary based on the seller’s factors.
  • The post sparked concerns about fairness and transparency in e-commerce pricing.

An X (previously Twitter) user recently started a discussion about a pricing difference for the same product on e-commerce giant Flipkart.

As per details shared, it appears Flipkart prices vary depending on whether the app was accessed through an Android or iOS device.


User Saurabh Sharma posted screenshots showing the price variation for a Mokobara cabin suitcase, with a noticeable difference between Android and iOS. “Android vs iOS – different prices on Flipkart app.

Same Mokobara cabin suitcase costs ₹ 4,119 on Flipkart’s Android app vs ₹ 4,799 on iOS app,” Mr Sharma shared on X.

The screenshots reveal that the small cabin suitcase from Mokobara is listed at ₹ 4,119 with a 65% discount on Android, while it’s priced at ₹ 4,799 with a 60% discount on an iPhone. Moreover, Android users are offered a no-cost EMI option starting at ₹ 1,373 per month, whereas the EMI begins at ₹ 1,600 per month on iOS.

Expressing his concern, Sharma also wrote, “Apple charges 30% commission on subscriptions etc., so different pricing for iOS makes sense there. But for e-commerce? Very shady and unfair.”


In a follow-up, Sharma also posted a screenshot of his conversation with Flipkart customer support.

Flipkart explained, “Prices may vary since it is determined by the seller based on various factors. However, please don’t worry, our sellers are always trying their best to bring you great deals and discounts. Happy shopping!”

Since Sharma’s post on Wednesday, it has received over 127,000 views and numerous comments.

One user responded, “This is common across multiple apps, mad annoying. I once had a 1 lakh Android device and an old iPhone 7 plus and everything was more expensive on the latter. If I recall correctly, even cab prices.”

Another person commented, “I think that is common knowledge. The price of the product listed varies based on the phone. Even Uber prices change not just during rain- but also when your phone’s battery percentage is low. That’s how companies milk the opportunity.”


A third user stated, “Shady, yes! Check if Amazon or any other does the same, I don’t think so. Flipkart has been shady for a while now. Unfair? Well, as long as they can get away with it. Closed Flipkart a/c long time ago. The platform accepts no responsibility for anything. Risky platform.”

“I have noticed the same in Zepto/Instamart/Blinkit. The difference is negligible there but why the difference is the question,” another user noted.

“Both platforms have different commission rates, so I can accept some differences in the pricing. However, this huge difference could only be an error from the seller,” added a fifth user.

Some users even defended the difference in prices sharing personal experiences.

FAQs

Q1. What did an X user discover about Flipkart’s pricing?

Answer. User Saurabh Sharma posted screenshots showing the price variation for a Mokobara cabin suitcase, with a noticeable difference between Android and iOS. “Android vs iOS – different prices on Flipkart app. Same Mokobara cabin suitcase costs ₹ 4,119 on Flipkart’s Android app vs ₹ 4,799 on iOS app,” Mr Sharma shared on X.

Apple’s partnership with its iPhone satellite connectivity partner Globalstar has been extended, the companies disclosed in recent security filings.

The expansion deal includes Apple committing an extra $1.1 billion in infrastructure payments to boost satellite service capacity.

Apple is also taking a 20% equity stake in GlobalStar, which will be valued at around $400 million.

Globalstar shares jump after expanding $1.1B satellite services deal with Apple, supporting a new MSS network development and launch.

The reports of the extended deal have sent GlobalStar’s stock rising. 

The deal also highlights Apple’s growing interest in satellite-powered iPhone features. For example, with iOS 18, iPhone users can now send texts to friends and family via satellite when they’re outside of cellular or WiFi range.

Apple has been investing heavily to provide satellite capabilities for free to users, even though the company has hinted to eventually charge for this feature.

Apple has bought a 20% percent stake in GlobalStar

Satellite connectivity was first launched with the iPhone 14 in 2022 specifically for Emergency SOS.

At the time of launch, the service was available for free for two years with experts believing a fee would be applicable around late 2024.

However, Apple recently extended the free period through 2025.

Apple hasn’t disclosed a specific price for satellite services yet.

Apple announced two-way satellite messaging via satellite when outside of cellular coverage with iOS 18.

Some reports also suggest that Apple could bundle satellite services with Apple One or offer it as a mobile carrier add-on.

Apple now owns 20% of Globalstar via an equity deal worth $400 million.

iPhone models from iPhone 14 onward support satellite connectivity, which activates automatically when you’re out of cellular or WiFi range. Apple explains, “With iPhone 14 or later (all models), you can connect your iPhone to a satellite to text emergency services, request roadside assistance, message friends and family, and share your location – all while you’re off the grid with no mobile network and Wi-Fi coverage.”

 

iPhone 14 or later model users can try a satellite demo by going to Settings -> Emergency SOS -> Emergency SOS via Satellite -> Try Demo.

  • Bumble’s new feature lets users search for matches based on shared interests.
  • Aims to connect people based on personality rather than just appearance.
  • Users can filter by interests using the “narrow your search” and “advanced filters” options.

While apps are supposed to make life easier, dating apps are often a challenge when it comes to finding someone you truly connect with. The focus always seems to be more on physical appearance instead of personality. Moreover, the challenge the coming across the real personality is a whole other challenge altogether.

Bumble, with its online dating cum networking setup, has managed to bridge this gap where people get to know about the personality of the person on the other side of the screen much better than other dating apps we have today.

It appears Bumble is now aiming to work more towards allowing people to connect based on personalities and not only appearance. The app is introducing a new feature that lets users search for matches based on shared interests.

To use this tool, users just need to click “narrow your search,” followed by “advanced filters,” then select “filter by your interests.” Each user can display up to five interests on their profile.

However, there’s a chance a shared interest might not appear if someone hasn’t chosen it for their profile.

Use Bumble Filters to Find the Right Connections

Bumble has recently added over 30 new interest options, so users can be selective rather than choosing them all just to cast a wider net. If no matches are available with those selected interests, users can choose to see other profiles outside their filters.

Many of the interest options are lighthearted like memes, tacos or travelling.

Some, however, offer a deeper glimpse with interests such as mindfulness, slow living and therapy. While it’s not a deep dive into someone’s personality, it offers a bit more insight than just a photo.

Moreover, Bumble is expanding its Opening Moves feature, introduced in April.

The Opening Moves feature allows users to set a specific question for new matches to respond to, instead of crafting a new opener each time. Now, users can set up to three Opening Moves and they can even include images with captions to make the conversation starter more engaging.

FAQs

Q1. How can Bumble users search for matches based on shared interests?

Answer. Users need to click “narrow your search,” followed by “advanced filters,” then select “filter by your interests.”

Q2. What is the maximum number of interests Bumble user can display on their profile?
