Apple’s much-anticipated 18.8-inch foldable device was once rumoured to be the company’s first product with a folding screen. However, the device now seems to be facing internal delays that could push its launch well beyond 2026. While recent speculation has centred around a late 2026 or early 2027 debut for Apple’s foldable iPhone, plans for the larger foldable iPad or MacBook-like device appear to have shifted. Here’s what we know.

Delay in Apple’s Large Foldable

A new report from Jeff Pu, lead analyst at GF Securities and known for his Apple-related insights, suggests that Apple has internally delayed its 18.8-inch foldable product. This update comes via a research note tied to Apple’s recent third-quarter earnings.

Pu expressed that he sees “limited innovation” in the upcoming iPhone 17 lineup, but noted “intact progress” on the iPhone 18 Fold, still on track for a launch in the second half of 2026.

However, Pu added, “the 18.8-inch foldable device is likely to be postponed.” While no specific reason was cited, it’s now unlikely that the larger foldable will enter mass production in Q4 2026, as previously expected. A 2027 release now seems more plausible.

There’s ongoing debate about what form this larger foldable will ultimately take.

For example, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman has reported on a 20-inch foldable iPad slated for 2028, while analyst Ross Young believes Apple could launch a foldable tablet-style product in 2026 or 2027. The exact nature of the device, whether it’s an iPad or Mac, remains unclear.

Pu suggests the foldable device may be a MacBook-iPad hybrid featuring a touch-based screen and support for macOS. Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo has similarly described it as a MacBook, while Ross Young has mentioned an 18.8-inch foldable notebook. In December, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple was developing a 19-inch MacBook with a foldable display.

Conversely, both Gurman and research firm Omdia have referred to it as an iPad. The final identity of the device may ultimately depend on the operating system it uses, macOS would place it in the Mac category, while iPadOS would make it part of the iPad lineup.

Gurman has also suggested that Apple’s recent design changes in iOS 26 and macOS Tahoe, aimed at aligning both platforms more closely, could pave the way for foldable devices and touchscreen Macs, supporting the possibility of a hybrid form factor.

For now, Apple’s foldable iPhone continues to build with signs pointing to a 2026 release, while the larger Apple foldable device remains uncertain.

FAQS

Q1. Why has Apple’s 18.8-inch foldable device been delayed?

Answer. Apple’s 18.8-inch foldable device has reportedly faced internal delays, making a 2026 launch unlikely. Analyst Jeff Pu suggests it may now be postponed to 2027, though no specific reason for the delay was cited.

Q2. What form will Apple’s larger foldable device take?

Answer. The exact form is still uncertain. It could be a MacBook-iPad hybrid with a touch-based screen, depending on whether it runs macOS or iPadOS. Analysts are split, with some calling it a foldable notebook and others referring to it as a foldable iPad.

Q3. Is Apple still planning to release a foldable iPhone?

Answer. Yes, Apple’s foldable iPhone, possibly part of the iPhone 18 lineup, is still expected to launch in the second half of 2026, with development reportedly progressing intact.

Most of iPhones Sold in the US Now Made in India, Vietnam Leads in Apple’s Other Products, Reveals Tim Cook

0

Highlights

  • Tim Cook confirmed that the majority of iPhones sold in the US during Q2 2025 were manufactured in India.
  • Vietnam has become the primary manufacturing base for US-bound MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches, while China now focuses on non-US markets.
  • Apple saw record iPhone sales in India and other emerging markets.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has confirmed that most iPhones sold in the US during the second quarter were manufactured in India. This is despite ongoing criticism from US President Donald Trump over Apple’s shift in production.

Speaking after Apple’s Q2 earnings on July 31, Cook said India has emerged as the key manufacturing hub for iPhones sold in the US, while China now mainly caters to other international markets.

“In terms of the country of origin, it’s the same as I referenced last quarter. There hasn’t been a change to that, which is the vast majority of the iPhone sold in the US or the majority, I should say, have a country of origin of India,” Cook told analysts.

Meanwhile, Vietnam has become the primary base for US-bound production of Apple’s other hardware products like MacBooks, iPads and Apple Watches. “The products for other international countries, the vast majority of them are coming from China,” Cook added.

India – Both A Key Market and Manufacturing Hub for Apple

Cook’s remarks also reflect Apple’s broader strategy to strengthen its presence in India and not just as a production base but also as a growing consumer market. He highlighted that Apple is seeing record-breaking revenue from iPhone sales in India.

“We saw iPhone growth in every geographic segment and double-digit growth in emerging markets including India, the Middle East, South Asia, and Brazil,” Cook said.

Apple has reported a 10% year-over-year increase globally in quarterly revenue, reaching $94 billion. India was among over 25 countries where Apple hit all-time high revenue figures in the June quarter. During the earnings call, Cook also revealed plans to open more Apple Stores across India to further expand its retail presence.

Trump’s Objection to Apple’s India Manufacturing

President Donald Trump has previously expressed his disapproval of Apple manufacturing iPhones in India for US consumers. During a visit to Doha in May this year, Trump remarked, “I had a little problem with Tim Cook… I said to him, my friend, I am treating you very good… but now I hear you are building all over India. I don’t want you building in India.”

Trump has also announced a 25% tariff on imports from India. While electronics like smartphones, laptops, and other consumer tech are currently exempt from these new tariffs, analysts caution that this exemption might not last.

Tim Cook on Tariff Costs and Future Impact

Addressing the financial implications of tariffs, Tim Cook said the company continues to monitor the evolving global trade landsca

“For the June quarter, we incurred approximately $800 million of tariff-related costs. For the September quarter, assuming the current global tariff rates, policies, and applications do not change for the balance of the quarter, and no new tariffs are added, we estimate the impact to add about $1.1 billion to our costs,” Cook explained. He noted these figures could vary based on any changes in tariff policies in the coming months.

FAQs

Q1. Where are most iPhones sold in the US currently manufactured?

Answer. Most iPhones sold in the US during Apple’s Q2 2025 were manufactured in India, as confirmed by CEO Tim Cook. India has become a key production hub for US-bound iPhones.

Q2. Which country is now producing Apple’s other hardware products for the US market?

Answer. Vietnam has taken the lead in manufacturing Apple’s other hardware products such as MacBooks, iPads, and Apple Watches for the US market.

Q3. How are global tariffs affecting Apple’s production costs?

Answer. Apple incurred approximately $800 million in tariff-related costs during the June quarter. For the September quarter, the estimated impact is around $1.1 billion, depending on future changes in global tariff policies.

Highlights

  • New leak reveals OnePlus 15R will feature a Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, a 165Hz 1.5K OLED display and a 7,000mAh battery.
  • It may include a triple rear camera setup, an ultrasonic fingerprint scanner, and improved IP68/IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance.

A new leak has revealed that the upcoming OnePlus 15R may deliver flagship-grade specs at a budget-friendly price point. The rumoured upgrades include a faster processor, a larger battery, enhanced durability and more. Here’s what we know about the upcoming phone so far.

OnePlus 15R/Ace 6 – Flagship Specs

According to the leak by tipster Gadgetsdata,the  OnePlus 15R is expected to launch in China as the OnePlus Ace 6 and will offer several significant hardware upgrades.

On the front, the device is said to feature a flat OLED display with a 1.5K resolution and an ultra-smooth 165Hz refresh rate. These display specs suggest that OnePlus could be aiming to market the 15R as a gaming-focused smartphone.

Backing that up is the rumoured inclusion of Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset. It is the same flagship processor powering top-tier Android phones like the OnePlus 13. If true, this would represent a major performance boost over the previous model.

Battery life is another area where the 15R may see an upgrade. While the OnePlus 13R already packed a sizable 6,000mAh battery, its successor is expected to come with an even larger 7,000mAh unit, likely with support for 80W or faster charging.

In terms of cameras, the rear setup is expected to include a main sensor, an ultra-wide lens, and a telephoto shooter, similar to the previous generation. However, the camera hardware may receive further enhancements for improved imaging. Another notable change is the rumoured switch to an ultrasonic fingerprint sensor, offering quicker and more accurate unlocking compared to the optical sensor used in the 13R.

Design-wise, the OnePlus 15R is expected to retain its metal frame, but with improved durability. It will reportedly come with both IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, a jump from the IP65 rating seen on the OnePlus 13R.

With these upgrades in mind, a price increase seems likely. The OnePlus 15R could launch as a rebranded version of the Ace 6 in international markets, offering flagship-level performance and features without the flagship price tag.

FAQs

Q1. What processor is expected in the OnePlus 15R?

Answer. The OnePlus 15R is rumoured to feature Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite chipset, the same flagship processor used in top-tier Android phones like the OnePlus 13, offering a major performance boost.

Q2. How is the battery capacity changing in the OnePlus 15R?

Answer. The OnePlus 15R is expected to upgrade from the 6,000mAh battery in the 13R to a larger 7,000mAh unit, likely supporting 80W or faster charging.

Q.3 What improvements in durability are expected for the OnePlus 15R?

Answer. The device is rumoured to retain its metal frame but will feature enhanced durability with IP68 and IP69 ratings for dust and water resistance, up from the IP65 rating on the OnePlus 13R.

BGMI Biggest Problems We Need Krafton To Work On

0

Highlights

  • Major updates like version 3.9 often introduce bugs such as crashes, frame drops, and mic echo issues.
  • Krafton continues to prioritise Erangel for events, sidelining fan-favourite maps like Livik and Karakin.
  • Voice chat bugs remain unresolved across devices and cheating continues despite Krafton’s ban efforts.

BGMI game issues discussed. (Image credit – Krafton)

BGMI is popular and is potentially India’s go-to battle royale game. But there are issues that are getting hard to ignore. BGMI’s 3.9 update brought in some cool stuff such as the hoverboards, neon zones and even a flashy Transformers crossover.

But we have to echo the opinion of many BGMI veterans online, long-standing problems are still ruining the experience for regular players. Without wasting too much time, here are some of the BGMI problems that we need Krafton to start working on.

Updates Break the Game

Every big update seems to break something. In version 3.9, players are dealing with crashes, frame drops, and a mic echo bug that makes team communication nearly impossible.

It’s frustrating because BGMI runs beta builds before updates go live. You’d expect things to be more stable by now. Instead, players are stuck reinstalling the game, clearing cache, or tweaking settings just to make it playable again.

This isn’t a new issue. The real bug has been Krafton’s update strategy as many players online have already pointed out. The updates need to work on core stability before enough complaints flood Reddit and YouTube.

Same Maps and Sidelining Fan Favourites

Krafton clearly loves Erangel! It’s always the centre of major updates. In 3.9, the Transformers content was added only to Erangel, while other maps like Livik were left out of the full experience.

Livik did get hoverboards and neon zones, but it missed out on the core crossover fun. That’s disappointing, especially since Livik is a fan favourite for its fast-paced matches.

Karakin, another much-loved map known for close-range action, has also been ignored. It hasn’t seen any big updates or events in ages. A dedicated event or mode could easily bring it back into rotation, but right now, Krafton’s focus on Erangel is limiting variety.

Voice Chat Is Still a Mess

The voice chat issues are still here, going all the way back to version 3.6. If you’re not using earphones, your squad hears a loud echo. And even with headphones, players report static, high-pitched noises, or what some describe as a “tornado sound” that blasts into their ears.

This affects everyone including iPhone users using Bluetooth or wired headsets. For a team-based battle royale, this is more than annoying and it ruins the experience. And despite constant reports from the community, there’s still no proper fix.

Cheaters Are Still a Problem

Cheating in BGMI is still a big issue even after Krafton’s regular ban updates and their flashy “Ban Pan” videos. Speed hacks, wall cheats and aimbots continue to show up, making it impossible for honest players to compete fairly.

The anti-cheat system needs serious improvements. Banning accounts after the fact isn’t enough. BGMI needs better real-time detection and tougher punishment systems to stay ahead of cheaters instead of constantly playing catch-up.

While Krafton keeps releasing new skins and limited-time events, we are hoping it will soon stop ignoring the basics. We are referring to the lag, poor matchmaking, broken voice chat and bad optimisation across different phones. For a game with such a massive fanbase in India, we hope makers will soon pay attention to what’s impacting the actual gameplay.

FAQs

Q1. Why does BGMI become unstable after major updates?

Answer. BGMI’s major updates, like version 3.9, often introduce bugs such as crashes, frame drops, and mic echo issues. Despite running beta builds beforehand, the game frequently requires players to reinstall, clear cache, or tweak settings to restore playability—indicating a lack of core stability in Krafton’s update strategy.

Q2. Why are fan-favourite maps like Livik and Karakin being ignored?

Answer. Krafton continues to focus heavily on Erangel, adding exclusive content like the Transformers crossover only to that map. While Livik received minor features like hoverboards and neon zones, it missed out on the full event experience. Karakin hasn’t seen any major updates or events in a long time, limiting gameplay variety.

Q3. Is BGMI doing enough to stop cheaters?

Answer. Not really. Despite regular ban updates and promotional “Ban Pan” videos, cheating remains widespread with speed hacks, wall cheats, and aimbots still affecting matches. Krafton’s current anti-cheat system lacks effective real-time detection and stronger punishments, making it hard for honest players to compete fairly.

While iQOO is gearing up for its next line-up launch, the brand has now confirmed that its upcoming Z10 Turbo+ will support the 144Hz high frame rate mode in Valorant Mobile. In fact, it will be one of the first smartphones to do so. The mobile version of the game titled Valorant: Primal is set to launch on August 19. This announcement comes just days before the Z10 Turbo+ is scheduled to debut on August 7.

iQOO made the announcement during the recently concluded ChinaJoy 2025 event.

At the same event, OnePlus China President Louis Li appeared at the OnePlus booth and revealed that OnePlus devices will also be among the first to support the 144Hz mode in Valorant Mobile.

Riot Games is collaborating with Tencent’s Photon Studio Group to bring Valorant: Primal to mobile platforms. Riot has also partnered with top mobile FPS players, incorporating their feedback through multiple testing phases to shape the game experience.

So, we can expect Valorant: Primal to offer visuals comparable to its PC counterpart, while fine-tuning the controls and skill mechanics for touchscreen gameplay. The mobile version will also introduce a new skill release guide system, designed to make the game more accessible without sacrificing its depth.

According to a tipster account on Weibo named Experience More, the iQOO 15 Ultra is scheduled to launch in the first half of 2026. This is interesting in the context that we know the standard iQOO 15 is expected to debut in China this October.
