Apple’s iPhone 17 is only weeks away and we already have a good idea about what to expect from the upcoming lineup. While we wait for the official announcement, fresh evidence now suggests the company is preparing a new feature for its MagSafe cases. Here’s what the latest leak reveals.

iPhone 17 Case Video Leaks

Well-known Leaker Majin Bu on X (formerly Twitter) has shared a video on social media showing what he describes as a “Liquid Silicone” case fitted on an iPhone 17 dummy unit.

For reference, “Liquid Glass” is Apple’s name for the transparent design elements coming with iOS 26. The video doesn’t clarify the meaning behind “Liquid Silicone,” but it does highlight a design tweak that aligns with recent rumours.

Earlier this month, multiple leakers reported that Apple may introduce lanyard support for its official iPhone 17 cases. The video backs this up and shows a silicone case similar in shape to one that would fit the iPhone 16 but with two small holes at the bottom edge. According to experts, this is most likely designed for attaching a lanyard strap.

This design mirrors the lanyard slot already present on Apple’s AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

While third-party case makers often add lanyards or straps for better grip and camera usability, Apple has so far relied on partners like Incase to sell lanyard accessories for AirPods Pro rather than offering its own. It remains to be seen if the iPhone 17 MagSafe case lineup will follow the same approach.

FAQs

Q1. What is the Liquid Silicone case shown in the iPhone 17 leak?

Answer. The leaked video by Majin Bu shows a Liquid Silicone case fitted on an iPhone 17 dummy unit. While the term isn’t officially defined, it likely refers to a new material or design style Apple may use for its MagSafe cases.

Q2. Does the iPhone 17 case support lanyards?

Answer. Yes, the leaked case features two small holes at the bottom edge, which experts believe are intended for attaching a lanyard strap, similar to the lanyard slot found on the AirPods Pro 2 charging case.

Q3. Will Apple officially offer lanyard support for iPhone 17 cases?

Answer. It’s not confirmed yet. Apple has previously relied on third-party partners like Incase for lanyard accessories, so it remains to be seen whether the iPhone 17 MagSafe case lineup will include built-in lanyard support directly from Apple.

Highlights

  • Samsung will begin manufacturing laptops at its Greater Noida facility.
  • The move follows a meeting with India’s IT Minister, reinforcing Samsung’s commitment to domestic tech production and innovation.
  • While specific models aren’t confirmed, local production could boost the Galaxy Book lineup’s competitiveness against HP, Dell, and Lenovo.

Samsung is extending its “Make in India” push beyond smartphones by starting local production of laptops, according to a PTI report. The company is expected to manufacture several of its laptop models at the Greater Noida facility, where it already produces Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

This development comes shortly after a meeting between Samsung Southwest Asia executives and India’s Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. The meeting underscored Samsung’s commitment to deepening its presence in India while supporting the government’s domestic manufacturing initiative.

Samsung’s Laptop Manufacturing Plans

As per the PTI report, laptops will soon join Samsung’s list of “Made in India” devices alongside its smartphones, tablets, and wearables. The Greater Noida plant is expected to play a key role in this expansion, highlighting the company’s growing focus on local production.

During the meeting, IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated, “Samsung continues to expand manufacturing of its advanced technology devices in Bharat, driven by talent and innovation.”

Samsung has been steadily building its manufacturing footprint in India since 1996. Today, it operates the world’s second-largest mobile manufacturing unit in the country and is India’s second-largest handset exporter after Apple. While smartphones have been a major focus, this marks the company’s first significant move toward establishing a laptop manufacturing base in India.

What This Means for the Laptop Market?

Although this update is promising, Samsung has not yet issued an official statement confirming which laptop models will be manufactured locally.

If the move goes forward, it could give Samsung’s Galaxy Book lineup a stronger foothold in India’s competitive laptop market, currently dominated by HP, Dell, and Lenovo.

The local production of Samsung laptops could also intensify competition, especially since the brand’s laptops, while feature-packed, have yet to gain widespread popularity in India compared to its smartphone segment.

FAQs

Q1. Is Samsung planning to manufacture laptops in India?

Answer. Yes. Samsung is set to begin local production of laptops at its Greater Noida facility, where it already manufactures smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches.

Q2. What prompted Samsung’s decision to expand laptop manufacturing in India?

Answer. The decision follows a meeting between Samsung Southwest Asia executives and India’s Union IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, highlighting Samsung’s support for the government’s “Make in India” initiative and its commitment to expanding domestic tech manufacturing.

Q3. How will this move affect the Indian laptop market?

Answer. If implemented, it could strengthen Samsung’s Galaxy Book lineup in India, increasing competition with established brands like HP, Dell, and Lenovo, though Samsung has yet to confirm which models will be locally produced.

iPhone 16e arrived earlier this year, and following its lead, the upcoming iPhone 17e is also expected to target budget-conscious buyers within Apple’s ecosystem. While the iPhone 17 lineup is coming this September, the affordable iPhone 17e isn’t expected until next year. But we don’t have to wait that long to know more about this model, because leaks have started pouring in.

A new leak from tipster Digital Chat Station (DCS) on Weibo has now revealed several key specifications of the upcoming device. Here’s everything we know about the phone.

iPhone 17e – Specifications (Rumoured)

According to the DCS’s post based on details reportedly sourced from the supply chain, the iPhone 17e will feature a 6.1-inch OLED display, most likely the same 60Hz low-power panel used in the iPhone 16. The device is also tipped to retain the Dynamic Island design and will run on Apple’s upcoming A19 chipset.

In terms of cameras, the front will house a 12MP selfie camera with 3D facial recognition, while the back is expected to sport a 48MP primary sensor.

The phone’s overall design is also rumoured to undergo noticeable changes. However, no specific details on that have come out yet.

iPhone 16e Found Its Base in the Market

The iPhone 16e has already laid the groundwork for its successor’s success. According to a Consumer Intelligence Research Partners (CIRP) report for the June 2025 quarter, the 16e performed strongly in Apple’s portfolio during its first full quarter on sale.

Launched in February as a replacement for the long-running iPhone SE, it quickly outpaced expectations by appealing to both former SE users and buyers of older models.

The report highlights that the iPhone 16e captured 11% of US iPhone sales in the June 2025 quarter, more than double the SE’s 5% share in the same quarter last year.

In contrast, legacy models like the iPhone 14 and 15 fell sharply, dropping from 28% of unit sales in June 2024 to just 15% this year. This shift shows how the 16e has successfully reshaped Apple’s lower-end sales mix.

FAQs

Q1. What are the key specifications of the upcoming iPhone 17e?

Answer. The iPhone 17e is expected to feature a 6.1-inch OLED display (likely 60Hz), Apple’s new A19 chipset, Dynamic Island design, a 48MP rear camera, and a 12MP front camera with 3D facial recognition.

Q2. When will the iPhone 17e be released?

Answer. While the main iPhone 17 lineup is expected in September 2025, the budget-friendly iPhone 17e is likely to launch sometime in 2026.

Q3. How did the iPhone 16e perform in the market?

Answer. The iPhone 16e captured 11% of US iPhone sales in the June 2025 quarter, more than doubling the previous SE’s share and outperforming older models like the iPhone 14 and 15, which dropped to 15%.

Xiaomi recently celebrated its 14th anniversary, and company president Lu Weibing marked the occasion by sharing a video highlighting some of Xiaomi’s most iconic smartphones. Towards the end, he shifted focus to the future, teasing big changes for the upcoming Xiaomi 16 series. While specifics were limited, his remarks suggested a major shift in strategy.

Xiaomi 16 Series to Redefine Product Positioning

Lu Weibing confirmed that Xiaomi’s next-generation digital series will see a complete overhaul in both definition and positioning. Industry watchers believe he was directly referencing the Xiaomi 16 lineup, set to debut in September.

Reports also indicate that these devices will be the first to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite 2 chipset, delivering a significant performance leap.

A major addition to the lineup could be a smaller flagship under the Pro category. Unlike earlier years, the Pro series is tipped to include a compact 6.3-inch variant alongside the standard 6.8-inch model. While leaks are calling it the Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini, the final name may differ.

HyperOS 3 and Dynamic Island-Like Features

The Xiaomi 16 series is also rumoured to launch with HyperOS 3, the next version of Xiaomi’s in-house software. This may actually be the bigger headline, given the new features being tested.

One of them borrows inspiration from Apple’s Dynamic Island, but Xiaomi seems to be putting its own twist on it. Instead of leaving blank space around the punch-hole, Xiaomi is reportedly adding adaptive, pill-shaped notifications with animations, live updates, and contextual information, essentially turning wasted pixels into a functional, stylish feature.

Faster Rollout for HyperOS 3

Interestingly, Xiaomi is planning a faster-than-usual global release for HyperOS 3. The domestic launch is scheduled for September, followed by a rollout in India, Europe, and Southeast Asia as early as October or November 2025.

This speed is unusual for Xiaomi, which typically staggers updates over several months. The accelerated timeline is believed to be linked to the early arrival of Android 16, which allowed Xiaomi to fast-track HyperOS development. For international users, this means much shorter waiting times.

The Standard Xiaomi 16 Model – What to Expect?

When it comes to hardware, the base Xiaomi 16 will largely stick to the design language of the Xiaomi 15, but with significant internal upgrades. Based on leaks, here’s what’s expected –

  • Display size between 32 and 6.36 inches
  • A massive 6800mAh battery, far larger than most flagships in its class
  • 100W fast charging support
  • Performance optimisations aimed at smoother multitasking and better thermal control

Standout feature is the nearly 7000mAh battery with 100W charging. It is rarely seen in the flagship space, where most competitors still offer around 4500–5000mAh.

Four Models in the Xiaomi 16 Lineup

The series is expected to launch with four models, which will include the Xiaomi 16, Xiaomi 16 Pro, Xiaomi 16 Pro Mini, and later the Xiaomi 16 Ultra. The addition of the Pro Mini is likely the key shift Lu Weibing hinted at.

As for the Ultra, it is expected to debut next year in China.

According to a recent report, Apple Watch sales in the first half of 2025 were about 10% higher than expected. The DigiTimes Asia report further reveals key details on what Apple is planning for its 2026 Apple Watch lineup. And it appears the Cupertino giant could bring some of the most notable upgrades in years. Here’s everything we know based on the recent report.

Apple Watch 2025 Performs Better Than Expected

According to the report, sales are on track for a strong third-quarter peak season, following a challenging but ultimately successful few months.

Report reads, “Despite challenges from tariffs and macroeconomic factors dampening consumer electronics demand, the supply chain confirms that Apple’s early procurement in the first half of 2025 is outperforming initial forecasts by approximately 10%.”

The Apple Watch Series 11 lineup, which will include the Apple Watch Ultra 3, is rumoured to introduce blood pressure detection alongside the Apple Intelligence-powered features announced at WWDC25 for watchOS 26.

However, the report clarifies that non-invasive blood glucose monitoring remains out of reach due to “medical regulations, technological development, and patent disputes.” In its early version, the blood pressure tool will reportedly focus on tracking trends and providing abnormality alerts much like how Apple’s recent additions such as temperature monitoring, function today.

2026 Apple Watch Lineup – What To Expect?

The same report also claims that Apple’s 2026 Apple Watch models will concentrate on three key areas, which are new sensors, a potential redesign and better efficiency. It writes, “First, the number of sensor components will double; second, there will be alterations to the exterior design; and third, power efficiency will improve significantly.”

While it doesn’t specify which sensors are coming, it notes that Apple aims to reduce reliance on algorithm-based data interpretation, which could lead to improved performance and longer battery life.

As for design, rumours suggest the high-end model may undergo a major redesign. However, the circular sensor array on the back of the Apple Watch is expected to remain unchanged, even as Apple doubles the number of sensors.

FAQs

Q1. How did Apple Watch sales perform in early 2025?

Answer. Apple Watch sales in the first half of 2025 were about 10% higher than expected, outperforming forecasts despite challenges like tariffs and weak consumer electronics demand.

Q2. What health features are expected in the Apple Watch Series 11?

Answer. Series 11 may introduce blood pressure tracking and Apple Intelligence-powered features via watchOS 26. However, non-invasive blood glucose monitoring is still not ready due to regulatory and technical hurdles.

Q3. What upgrades are planned for the 2026 Apple Watch lineup?

Answer. The 2026 models are expected to include double the sensor components, a redesigned exterior for premium models and major improvements in power efficiency.
