Although we’re still over four months (around 132 days) away from the official announcement of the iPhone 17 lineup, it almost feels like the devices have already launched. Why? Because we’ve seen them—again and again—in nearly every form imaginable. From leaked schematics to case mockups and now eerily realistic dummy units, Apple’s upcoming flagship series is already generating more buzz than some official launches. iPhone 17 Lineup: What the Dummy Units Reveal Tech content creator Sam Kohl, from the popular AppleTrack YouTube channel, recently showcased the most detailed dummy models of the iPhone 17 lineup so far. These lifelike prototypes represent: iPhone 17 iPhone 17 Air iPhone 17 Pro iPhone 17 Pro Max And they’re not just plastic molds. These units are built with such attention to detail that, in the right lighting, you could mistake them for real iPhones. Kohl even notes one model appearing slightly bent, teasing the kind of structural controversies Apple often faces with thin...

Apple appears to be quietly preparing the iPhone for its next evolution. While most attention is currently focused on what iPadOS 19 will bring—rumored to include features that make the iPad behave more like a Mac—leaks suggest that iOS 19 won't be left behind. According to well-known leaker Majin Bu, iPhones with USB-C ports could soon support external display extensions, offering a more desktop-like experience. This wouldn’t just mirror your screen onto a monitor—it would let you extend it. Imagine delivering a presentation on a large screen while privately reviewing speaker notes on your iPhone. That’s the level of multitasking Apple may be preparing. From Mirroring to Multitasking: What Could Change? Currently, iPhones only support screen mirroring—a basic feature that duplicates your device’s screen onto a TV or monitor. While useful, it's limiting and often awkward, especially when dimensions clash between your phone and the external display. But with extended display sup...

As Apple approaches the 20th anniversary of its iconic iPhone in 2027, the tech giant is reportedly planning a landmark release that could redefine smartphone innovation. According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, Apple is working on two special-edition iPhone models to commemorate the launch of the first iPhone in 2007. But these won't be ordinary upgrades. Apple is aiming to push the boundaries of mobile design with devices that are described as “extraordinarily complex,” marking a bold leap forward for the iPhone lineup. Designed in California, Still Built in China Over the past few years, Apple has gradually been shifting its iPhone manufacturing from China to India. This move, partly triggered by the U.S. tariffs introduced during Trump’s administration, is designed to reduce dependency on Chinese manufacturing and diversify Apple’s global supply chain. However, the 20th-anniversary iPhones are a different story. Due to their ambitious design and need for specialized production te...

Apple is preparing to shake up its iPhone lineup in 2025 with what could be its most visually distinctive phone in years — the iPhone 17 Air. A new report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman sheds light on what this new model could mean for Apple’s future, and why it's already making waves in the tech community. From Mini to Plus to Air: The Evolution of the Fourth iPhone Apple has experimented with different versions of the iPhone to complement its flagship and Pro series. We’ve seen the iPhone mini try to capture compact phone lovers and the iPhone Plus aimed at those who prefer larger displays without the Pro price tag. However, neither found lasting commercial success. Enter the iPhone 17 Air — a device that’s rumored to blend elegant design with a slimmer profile, aiming to attract buyers who want sophistication without necessarily going for the Pro models. Gurman believes this approach could finally work, saying the Air might be more successful than either the mini or the Plus. Aesthe...

Tech enthusiasts and gift-givers, rejoice! Amazon has officially dropped the price of the latest 2025 Apple iPad 11th Generation (A16) to just $299, down from its original $349. That’s a $50 savings on one of Apple’s freshest tablets—launched just in March 2025—and it’s now available in all four vibrant colors: Blue, Yellow, Pink, and Silver. What makes this deal even more exciting is its timing. With Mother’s Day around the corner (May 11), this could be the ultimate surprise for moms who deserve a little extra tech magic. A Look at the Upgrades: What Makes This iPad Special? This generation of iPad, while still considered the base model (not Air, Mini, or Pro), punches far above its weight: Processor Upgrade: A16 chip for faster performance Increased RAM: 6GB, up from 4GB Double the Storage: 128GB instead of the previous 64GB Retained Features: 10.9" Liquid Retina display, USB-C charging, Wi-Fi 6, and Magic Keyboard Folio compatibility And despite the new internals, Apple surpri...

Exciting news is buzzing in the tech world — Apple has completed the Engineering Validation Testing (EVT) for at least one model of its highly anticipated iPhone 17 series. According to a report previewed by DigiTimes, this essential step ensures that hardware prototypes meet Apple’s exacting standards before the devices move forward toward mass production. EVT may be a routine stage behind the scenes, but it's a foundational moment that paves the way for the elegant and reliable iPhones we know and love. Apple is steadily marching toward its traditional September launch window. What Happens After EVT? Although EVT is a significant leap forward, the journey isn’t over yet. Apple's next steps for the iPhone 17 models include: Design Validation Testing (DVT): Testing the design's strength, durability, and real-world functionality. Production Validation Testing (PVT): Final quality control before full-scale manufacturing begins. Each stage ensures that when the iPhone 17 final...

Once viewed merely as a basic note-taking app—often humorously associated with celebrity apologies—Apple Notes has quietly transformed over the past few years. With the release of iOS 18, Apple added one of the most sought-after features: collapsible sections. This seemingly small change is a major leap, bringing Notes closer to heavyweight third-party competitors while maintaining the simplicity and elegance that users love. Why Collapsible Sections Matter So Much After years of exploring various notes apps, one feature remained elusive: the ability to collapse sections within a note. While many apps offered powerful formatting tools, few provided an intuitive way to hide or reveal different parts of a note. The lack of collapsibility often led to cluttered, overwhelming documents—especially when trying to manage detailed information. For a time, some users (myself included) even turned to specialized outlining apps like OmniOutliner, not for their primary features, but solely for the...
