iPhone 17 colorways leak too
We do however have what seem to be replacement camera rings for it, which showcase the five colors in which the iPhone 17 will allegedly arrive: blue, silver, black, green, and purple. The transparent ring isn't meant for a transparent iPhone 17, that's not happening, it's just another option for those who'd like the transparent look on their device.
While these are said to be the iPhone 17's launch colors, it's possible that Apple may release an additional one or two down the line. For comparison, note that the iPhone 16 comes in black, white, pink, teal, and "Ultramarine". So it's still five colorways, just different ones (aside from black).
The iPhone 17 will be by far the lowest-end of the four models launching in September, with the A19 non-Pro chip, and possibly stuck at 8GB of RAM like its predecessor despite all three other models coming with the A19 Pro and 12GB of RAM. It will however have one more camera compared to the iPhone 17 Air, and a bigger battery. Apple iPhone 16

Apple's iPhone 17 launch event now has an exact rumored date
Vlad, 05 August 2025 Back in mid-July, a rumor from Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who is always in the loop when it comes to Apple-related info, claimed the iPhone 17 family's launch event would be taking place the week that commences on September 8. Gurman then speculated that it could happen on September 8, 9, or 10, since the 12th is a Friday and Apple never holds launch events on Fridays, and September 11 is probably a date it wants to avoid any connection to. Today, some unnamed sources from within German carriers have allegedly spilled the beans on the exact date of the upcoming event: Tuesday, September 9. Apple will then release the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 19, which is the Friday after the event - that is the traditional thing to do for Apple with regard to availability in the initial batch of markets. As you undoubtedly know by now, the iPhone 17 Air will be insanely thin and light and will replace the Plus model which has been the worst seller of the family. Whether the Air will be any better remains to be seen - it does naturally have its thin profile and lightness going for it, but will sacrifice battery life and camera prowess in the process.

Samsung Display introduces MONT FLEX brand for foldable displays
Samsung Display will launch a new foldable display brand at the K-Display 2025, an industry exhibition of new technology that opens doors on August 7 (Thursday). The brand is dubbed 'MONT FLEX'. Here's how Samsung explains it. 'M' stands for mechanical durability, 'O' for opto-mechanically flat, 'N' for narrow bezels and 'T' for thin and lightweight design. In more detail, the M highlights innovations like the shock-resistant structure that allowed the Galaxy Z Fold7 and Z Flip7 displays to survive 500,000 fold cycles. The O highlights the work put into making the crease less visible. Narrow bezels give you more screen area. Finally, the whole industry is striving for thinner and lighter foldables and slimming down the display helps do just that. 'Mont' is also French for 'mountain', which is intentional – Samsung says that it represents the pinnacle of foldable innovation. 'Since beginning mass production of foldable OLEDs in 2019, we have continued to drive technological innovation to perfect the product—becoming the first in the industry to apply UTG (Ultra Thin Glass) and LEAD, a polarizer-free OCF technology, to foldables,' said Jae-Nam Yun, Executive Vice President and Head of Mobile Display Marketing Team at Samsung Display. Hold on, let us grab our tech initialism dictionary. LEAD stands for Low power consumption, Eco-friendliness, Augmented brightness and Designed to be soft and light. OCF or On-Cell Film improves visual performance while also making the display thinner and lighter. 'Following the launch of a foldable panel with a newly developed 'shock-resistant structure' that passed the 500,000-fold durability test, we will continue pushing the boundaries to deliver even more refined foldable products that exceed market expectations,' said Jae-Nam Yun. Foldable panels from Samsung Display are, of course, featured on the Galaxy Z series. The company sells to other smartphone makers too – recently, unofficial info surfaced that Apple has ordered panels for its upcoming foldable. Source

The global tablet market is booming again, but not thanks to Apple or Samsung
While global smartphone shipments continue to fluctuate from quarter to quarter due to many different reasons ranging from complex macroeconomic issues to tariff volatility and the industry's general lack of innovation over the last few years, the tablet market is amazingly posting year-on-year growth for the sixth quarter in a row. Of course, worldwide tablet sales aren't exactly doubling from year to year, but a 9 percent increase in the market's Q2 numbers compared to the same period of 2024 is certainly nothing to sneeze at either. That's a very positive trend for the global tablet market. Surprisingly enough, this latest healthy progress is not primarily owed to the largest vendor out there... or even the industry's second-biggest player. Instead, it's the companies ranked third, fourth, and fifth between April and June 2025 that shined brightest in terms of year-on-year growth. Yes, Huawei managed to jump from 2.5 million unit shipments in Q2 2024 to a little over 3.2 million now, extending its previously very fragile lead over Lenovo and consolidating its place on the podium with an 8.3 percent slice of the global pie (up from 7 percent). Lenovo's 24.7 percent rise from under 2.5 million unit shipments to more than 3 million is also not too shabby, keeping the China-based brand in fourth place for yet another quarter, but Xiaomi is closing in on both Lenovo and Huawei fast after improving its Q2 tally by no less than 42.3 percent between 2024 and 2025. Should Apple fear Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi's rise? Probably not. At least not yet. It pretty much goes without saying that the flourishing numbers of all three of these vendors are derived mainly from China, which means that one of the key reasons why Apple and Samsung are unable to keep up with those scores right now might be their weak presence in Huawei, Lenovo, and Xiaomi's huge domestic market. At the end of the day, however, Apple is still the global tablet market's top dog, with more than 14 million unit shipments and 36.1 percent share in Q2 2025. One of those numbers is actually (slightly) higher than how the company ended Q2 2024, which is not what we can say about Samsung. The industry's silver medalist remains miles ahead of Huawei, but both its quarterly shipments and market share are down from last year's April to June timeframe, which can't be viewed as a positive thing for the world's number one smartphone vendor.
