A new leak suggests that Xiaomi is developing a new Ultra-branded flagship smartphone powered by its upcoming in-house Xring O3 chipset. This comes after the brand introduced its custom silicon strategy last year with the launch of the Xiaomi 15s Pro, which featured the Xring O1 chip.

Reports indicate that Xiaomi is currently working on the successor to its in-house processor expected to be called the Xring O3. The chipset could debut as early as this year and may also power upcoming devices like the rumoured Xiaomi 17 Fold foldable smartphone.

According to tipster Yogesh Brar’s recent post on X, Xiaomi is developing a new Ultra-branded smartphone equipped with the Xring O3 chipset. The report adds that this device is being worked on alongside the Xiaomi 18 Ultra, which is still expected to launch later this year.

The leak clearly suggests that the Xring O3-powered device will be a separate offering and not a variant of the Xiaomi 18 Ultra. This raises questions about how Xiaomi plans to position the new model within its flagship lineup.

It is also being speculated that this device may be limited to the Chinese market with no confirmation of a global release at this stage.

The upcoming Xring O3 chipset is expected to bring a more refined and powerful architecture compared to its predecessor. It is likely to feature an octa-core design moving away from the earlier 10-core setup.

The chipset is internally known as Q18 or codename “lhasa“ and may include a Prime core clocked at up to 4.05GHz alongwith Titanium cores running at around 3.42GHz and efficiency-focused cores reaching speeds of up to 3.02GHz. On the graphics side, the GPU is also expected to see improvements, potentially operating close to 1.5GHz.

Apple Likely to Delay iPhone 18 till 2027; Extends Production of iPhone 17

0

Highlights

  • Reports say the iPhone 18 launch is now expected in 2027.
  • Apple might not release a base model for the iPhone 18 and could focus only on premium versions.
  • Production of the iPhone 17 base model will continue longer than usual.

New leaks suggest Apple has delayed the iPhone 18 release date. This could be one of the biggest changes to Apple’s product plans in years.

Recent reports say the iPhone 18 series will now come out in 2027 instead of 2026. This delay is part of a bigger change in how Apple plans its iPhone lineup.

No iPhone 18 Base Model in 2026

Leaks also reveal that Apple will not launch a base-model iPhone 18 this year. This is a big change from Apple’s usual approach, where a standard model is released alongside premium versions. Now, the company is reportedly focusing on high-end devices, leaving a gap in mid-range options.

To make up for this, Apple will keep the iPhone 17 base model in production for longer than usual. This shows the company wants to keep the iPhone 17 available while it works on its future lineup.

Premium Models Take Centre Stage

Apple is expected to focus on its premium phones instead of updating every model. The new flagship lineup of Apple might include the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Ultra, and possibly the iPhone Air 2.

The change in strategy reflects Apple’s focus on its high-end devices. It might add advanced features and new technology to its most expensive phones. The rumoured “Ultra” model is expected to be above the Pro Max and might feature new hardware and design updates.

Why the Delay?

Apple has not officially confirmed the delay, but industry insiders say there are several reasons. These include difficulties with new technology, changes to supply chains, and a shift toward more distinct product tiers.

The delay may also give Apple more time to improve important features, such as AI, better chips, and new designs. This could mean a bigger upgrade when the iPhone 18 finally arrives.

Extended Lifecycle for iPhone 17

By keeping the iPhone 17 base model available for longer, Apple is showing it has a plan for this transition. This helps keep its product lineup steady and avoids gaps in the entry-level premium market.

Apple has used this longer product cycle before, but this time it is doing so more strongly. This suggests the company is working to make the shift to a more premium-focused lineup smoother.

What This Means for Consumers

For buyers, this change may mean fewer mid-range options for now, but more advanced features in the top models. It also shows Apple expects people to keep their phones longer while waiting for bigger upgrades.

Overall, the delayed iPhone 18 launch marks an important moment for Apple as it adjusts its approach to innovation, timing, and market strategy going forward.

FAQs

Q1. When will the iPhone 18 series launch?

The iPhone 18 series is now expected to launch in 2027, following reports of a delay from its earlier timeline.

Q2. Will there be a base model iPhone 18 this year?

No, leaks suggest that Apple will skip the iPhone 18 base model and focus only on premium variants.

Q3. Which models are expected in the iPhone 18 lineup?

The lineup may include iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, iPhone Ultra, and possibly iPhone Air 2.

OpenAI is reportedly working on its first smartphone and new leaks have revealed early details about the project. The upcoming device has been described as an “AI agent smartphone” and is expected to enter mass production in the first half of 2027. Here’s more on what we know about the latest development so far.

OpenAI’s First AI Smartphone

According to well-known analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, the OpenAI device is currently in development and could mark a significant shift in how smartphones operate. It will be focusing more on AI-driven interactions rather than traditional app-based usage.

The OpenAI smartphone is tipped to be powered by a custom version of MediaTek’s next-generation chipset likely the Dimensity 9600. MediaTek is said to be the leading contender for supplying the processor, which is expected to launch in Q4 2026.

The upcoming Dimensity 9600 is expected to build on this performance offering improved efficiency and AI capabilities. The chipset used in OpenAI’s smartphone is expected to be based on TSMC’s N2P manufacturing process.

In terms of memory and storage, the device could feature LPDDR6 RAM and UFS 5.0 storage ensuring faster data access and better multitasking performance.

One of the key highlights of the device could be its dual NPU (Neural Processing Unit) architecture designed to handle advanced AI workloads more efficiently. The smartphone is also expected to include security features such as pKVM (protected Kernel-based Virtual Machine) and inline hashing.

Previous reports suggest that OpenAI’s “AI agent smartphone” may function differently from conventional devices. Instead of relying heavily on apps, the phone is expected to execute tasks directly using AI and  offering a more seamless and intuitive user experience.

Production Timeline and Expectations

The analyst estimates that shipments of the OpenAI smartphone could reach around 30 million units across 2027 and 2028 combined indicating strong expectations for the device.

The latest and previous leaks provide an interesting look at what OpenAI might be planning. However, it is important to note that the company has not officially confirmed the smartphone. This means all details circulating online should be considered with a pinch of salt for now.
