iPhone 17 now rumored to feature Apple A19 chip
iPhone 17 renders in Green and Purple
If you were also hoping for more RAM on the baseline iPhone 17, that's apparently not going to happen. The latest report from Pu suggests the device will once again feature 8GB LPDDR5 RAM. The other two models in the iPhone 17 series are expected to feature 12GB RAM, with the 17 Air offering the same LPDDR5 speeds. Meanwhile, the 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will receive faster LPDDR5X RAM. iPhone 17 family dummy units
The entire iPhone 17 series is also rumored to bring Apple's self-designed Wi-Fi 7 chip. The vanilla model is expected to offer a larger 6.3-inch OLED, which may finally get a 120Hz refresh rate though it won't be of the LTPO variety (ProMotion in Apple lingo) like on the Pro series. As per the latest rumor, Apple will launch the iPhone 17 series on September 8.

Samsung's next foldable could fix what's been bugging us for years
The Galaxy Z Fold 7 just got announced not too long ago, but if you know anything about the world of tech, it is that leaks and rumors never stop. So yep, we're now starting to hear stuff about next year's foldable, potentially the Galaxy Z Fold 8. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is the thinnest Samsung foldable. It's light and refined, and has come a long way from its predecessor. But there's still something that stops it from being perfect, and that's the crease on the display, which is, unfortunately, still there. Now, reputable analyst Ming-Chi Kuo is claiming that the South Korea-based tech giant may finally fix this issue using a laser-drilled metal display plate. Ming-Chi Kuo's post on X. | Screenshot by PhoneArena This new technology would allow the phone to disperse the stress generated by the screen bending. This would technically mean the screen may remain crease-free. The display crease on foldables is yet to be fully removed, although some Chinese makers have managed to get rid of the majority of it. Ever since foldable phones existed, the crease on the display has been a little (or big, depending on who you ask) inconvenience. The crease is basically the dent where the phone's screen bends on itself. With the years, this crease has become less and less visible, but it's still pretty much there. The crease has become less noticeable, but it's still there. Galaxy Z Fold 7. | Image Credit - PhoneArena Reportedly, the new panel may be supplied to Samsung by the South Korean firm Fine M-Tec. It's also said the same company may supply the same panel to Apple for its first foldable iPhone, expected to launch next year as well. Of course, this panel is more pricey than what is currently used on the Galaxy Z Fold 7 , and this may drive the manufacturing price up. Of course, we don't know yet whether Samsung will bear the increased price or there will be a price hike for the foldable. I'd bet on the latter, but it's a bit too early to tell right now. Apple's first foldable iPhone has been in the rumors for a while now, and it's said it may be a completely creaseless foldable phone. The Galaxy Z Fold 8, set for a 2026 release, would be a direct competitor to Apple's first foldable. It seems that next year may be an exciting one for the foldable market. Meanwhile, Samsung may also be prepping a tri-foldable phone, hints about which have also shown up recently. Personally, I've been holding off from buying a foldable just because of the crease. Some people say you get used to it, and it's probably true for some. But I'm a bit of an obsessive person when it comes to touch, and I can't stand that dent in the screen, no matter how small. It just... rubs me the wrong way. So if Samsung (and Apple) manage to completely get rid of it, I'll be on the first line to buy a foldable. Because, after all, I think foldables are a great idea, especially clamshell ones.

T-Mobile, Verizon and AT&T hit new lows — and this time, it's a good thing
– Carl Lepper, senior director of technology, media and telecom at J.D. Power, July 2025 This latest volume of the study includes feedback from over 31,000 wireless users between December 2024 and May 2025. It covers six regions across the US and even tracks network performance for tablets and mobile broadband – not just smartphones. So, how did the carriers rank? Well, Verizon came out on top in the Mid-Atlantic (think New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania) with just 7 PP100, while AT&T and T-Mobile tied for second with 8 PP100. In the North Central region (includes Illinois, Ohio, Michigan, Minnesota), Verizon and UScellular shared the top spot, both at 7 PP100, and T-Mobile followed at 8 PP100. For the Northeast (covering Massachusetts, Connecticut, New Hampshire, Rhode Island), Verizon pulled ahead with the best score of all: 6 PP100, while T-Mobile landed at second with 8 PP100. Out West in the Southwest (Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma), AT&T and Verizon tied with 8 PP100, and T-Mobile sat right behind them with 9 PP100. And finally, in the West (includes California, Washington, Oregon, Nevada), it was T-Mobile that took the crown with 8 PP100, while AT&T and Verizon tied for second at 9 PP100. It is good to see network quality improving and it feels like we are finally getting closer to what 5G was supposed to deliver . But if you look closely, no single carrier is winning everywhere, and that actually says a lot. The playing field is leveling out and it might just mean better competition, better service – and hopefully fewer dropped calls no matter who you are with.

Apple sues Jon Prosser for allegedly breaking into a developmental iPhone to steal trade secrets
While Prosser didn't get everything right, including the change to the iOS 26 name, he did get enough right that it made Apple file a lawsuit against Prosser and Michael Ramacciotti. Apple alleges that Prosser and Ramacciotti hatched a plan to break into a developmental iPhone owned by Apple employee Ethan Lipnik, a friend of Ramacciotti. \ In its court filing, Apple claims that Prosser and Ramacciotti obtained Lipnik's passcode for the developmental iPhone and used location-tracking to figure out a period of time when Lipnik would be away from the phone for "an extended period." Ramacciotti, who was receiving financial compensation from Prosser for helping him break into Lipnik's phone, went on a FaceTime call with Prosser after he supposedly accessed Lipnik's developmental iPhone. On that call, Ramacciotti showed Prosser iOS 26 running on Lipnik's developmental iPhone. Using tech to capture the FaceTime call, Prosser now had a video that he shared with others and used it to make recreated renders of iOS 26 for his video. Apple also claims that Lipnik's iPhone contains a "significant amount of additional Apple trade secret information that has not yet been publicly disclosed." How much of that secret information is in Prosser and Ramacciotti's possession is something that Apple does not know. Apple v. Ramacciotti and Prosser by MacRumors Interestingly, Apple's court papers say that the company first learned about Prosser and Ramacciotti's plan through an anonymous email tip it received on April 4th, 2025. Besides telling Apple the story that allegedly reveals how Prosser obtained the iOS 26 material he leaked, the email also revealed that Prosser was sharing some of the leaks obtained from Lipnik's iPhone with other unnamed iPhone leakers. Prosser posted a Tweet on Thursday night stating that he disagreed with how Apple presented the events, adding that he certainly did not plot to obtain anyone's iPhone. This anonymously created and sent email to Apple got FPT's Jon Prosser in hot water. | Image credit-Scribd Apple filed its case in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. The complaint charges Presser and Ramacciotti of Misappropriation of Trade Secrets Under The Defend Trade Secrets Act and Violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act. Apple seeks an injunction to prevent further disclosure of its confidential trade secrets. Lipnik has been fired for not following Apple's policies to protect development and unreleased devices and software.
