iOS 26 public beta could release later this week — here's what we know
A reputable source has suggested that Apple's iOS 26 public beta could be coming sometime this week. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman stated on social media last week that the public beta was likely to arrive either on or around July 23. In his most recent Power On newsletter, Gurman stated that 'All indications are that iOS 26 should go into the public beta phase this coming week.' While he doesn't mention the same July 23 date, his new statement still covers it. So far, Apple's iOS 26 has been in development beta, designed for professionals to test out their apps and hunt down bugs. The next step is the public beta, which, as it is widely available, gives Apple a much larger test sample. We haven't received any official word on when we can expect the public beta for iOS 26 outside of it happening in July. However, it seems that we might not have long to wait at all. We'd also expect that, alongside the release of iOS 26's beta, we'll also see the public betas for macOS 26, iPadOS 26 and the other new software versions announced at WWDC 2025. If you want to sign up to be one of the beta testers, all you need to do is become a member of the Apple Beta Software program, where you will gain access for free. However, before signing up, we recommend that you back up all your data so you can easily revert to the older OS. The issue is that, while public betas are usually more stable than developer betas, there are still many bugs. These can be especially common in apps you use daily, and can make it impossible to use your phone normally, or put your data at risk. iOS 26 is one of the biggest updates in the iPhone's history, especially visually. iOS 26 introduces users to the new Liquid Glass design language that adds a sense of transparency to your home screen, menus and lock screen. While there have been some complaints about readability, Apple has been working to solve this throughout the developer beta. The update brings big changes to your Photos app, including a new design that reintroduces the Library and Collections tabs for easier navigation. iOS 26 also introduces a battery life upgrade with a new adaptive power mode that aims to extend the battery life of the best iPhones, plus older models going back to the iPhone 11 series. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. For the time being, we'll have to wait and see what Apple reveals in the next few days. If Apple does release the new beta this week, then we will be sure to update you with the details of how to access it.

How Samsung may also emerge as the winner in Apple's first foldable iPhone launch
Samsung could be one of the biggest beneficiaries when Apple launches its first foldable iPhone in late 2025, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman in his Power On newsletter. Samsung stands to benefit both as a component supplier and from the broader market validation that Apple's entry could bring to foldable segment. The most immediate benefit comes through Samsung Display, which will supply the crease-free OLED screens for Apple's foldable iPhone. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo confirms Samsung Display has secured the primary supplier role, with production targeting 13-15 million units beginning in the first quarter of 2026, a significant revenue stream regardless of market share outcomes. Samsung's supply chain dominance creates win-win scenario Samsung's component divisions have historically profited from Apple's success across multiple product lines, supplying OLED displays for premium iPhones since 2017 despite the companies' fierce courtroom battles. The foldable iPhone extends this mutually beneficial arrangement, with Samsung providing displays and supporting partners like Fine M-Tech supplying critical hinge components. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Studio & 1 BHK at ACE Nest – Book with ₹5 Lacs Only! Ace Noida Book Now Undo This B2B relationship offers Samsung guaranteed revenue with higher margins than competitive consumer device sales. Gurman notes that Samsung essentially spent seven years developing foldable technology that Apple must now license or purchase, turning innovation investment into supplier profits. Market expansion benefits all players Apple's entry could dramatically expand the global foldable market, currently dominated by Samsung and Chinese manufacturers. Increased mainstream adoption driven by Apple's marketing power and brand loyalty may create a rising tide that lifts all foldable manufacturers. The strategy particularly benefits Samsung in key markets like China, where Apple's foldable launch could validate the category for hesitant consumers. Android users curious about foldables but skeptical of the technology may try Samsung's proven Galaxy devices after seeing Apple embrace the format. Samsung's component revenues from Apple foldables could exceed profits from its own device sales, given the higher margins on B2B component supply versus competitive consumer electronics. The irony is striking: Samsung spent years building the foldable market that Apple will enter, but Samsung may profit most. AI Masterclass for Students. Upskill Young Ones Today!– Join Now

The next iPad Pro might add a new camera.
Posted Jul 20, 2025 at 8:54 PM UTC The next iPad Pro might add a new camera. In Mark Gurman's Power On newsletter for Bloomberg , he notes that iOS 26's public beta is expected next week, and a possible tweak for upcoming M5-powered iPad Pros.. The M4 iPad Pro that launched last year switched the orientation of its front-facing camera for use in landscape mode since many people use it like that or in a laptop-like stand, but the new model could also include a portrait-oriented camera, so video calls look fine no matter which way you're holding it.

Apple iPhone 17 price leaked in India, USA, and UAE: Check out the expected launch date, specifications, and more
Apple iPhone 17 price leaked: The buzz around the upcoming iPhone 17 series is heating up as Apple prepares for its anticipated September launch. With every new iPhone cycle, the tech world holds its breath — and this year is no exception. From price expectations across major markets like India, the UAE, and the US to a potential shift in lineup naming, the iPhone 17 is shaping up to redefine Apple's strategy once again. As discussions grow over design changes, market positioning, and user demand, Apple fans and analysts alike are closely watching. The iPhone 17 series is more than just a phone — it's a signal of where Apple is headed next. Read on to explore what's at stake. iPhone 17 launch timeline in India (Expected) Mark Gurman of Bloomberg suggested in his most recent Power On newsletter that Apple enthusiasts should free up the week of September 8 since that is when the new iPhone lineup is most likely to be unveiled and go on sale. Gurman pointed out that since Apple usually releases new iPhone models right after Labor Day, which is this year on September 1, the launch event is most likely to take place the week after. This timing would be consistent with what the business typically does. According to MacRumors, in nine of the last ten years, Apple has released new iPhones during the second week of September; the sole exception is 2020, when the COVID-19 pandemic created problems. iPhone 17 expected specifications Processor Apple analyst Jeff Pu published an investor note indicating that the A19 chipset may power the upcoming iPhone 17 (via MacRumlours). "We now expect the iPhone 17 model to be equipped with A19 (vs. earlier expectation of A18)," Pu wrote in the memo. The expert adds that the same processor will be used in the rumored thin iPhone 17 Air model. However, the 19 Pro chipset is probably going to power the Pro versions, which include the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. Later this year, in September, Apple is probably going to reveal the iPhone 17 series. Apple may implement some significant display modifications for all models, according to reports. Apple is reportedly planning lower bezels, a revamped Dynamic Island, and ProMotion compatibility for all of the lineup's models, according to a recent leak from tipster Digital Chat Station on Weibo. Display Size Additionally, the iPhone 17's 6.3-inch display will be marginally bigger than the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch display. A 6.7-inch screen is rumoured for the iPhone 17 Air, a 6.3-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro, and a 6.9-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. A Repositioned Logo In contrast to the earlier generations, the Apple logo would now be located on the lower part of the rear. In addition, a new version of the Apple Magsafe charger would enable faster Magsafe wireless charging for the 17-inch Pro models. Apple is Using Aluminum Frames Again There are rumors that the iPhone 17 Pro variants may return to using an aluminum frame. This would be a significant change because, whereas the prior phones had titanium frames, the new 17 is anticipated to have a partially glass and aluminum design. In addition to this, there have been some previous leaks regarding the phone's display. Camera Camera improvements differ depending on the model. Three cameras are included with the iPhone 17: a 48MP wide camera, a 12MP ultra-wide camera, and a 24MP front camera. The smaller iPhone 17 Air may only have a single 48MP rear and a 24MP front camera due to space constraints. Colorways According to reports, Apple is exploring new purple and green hues for the next generation of iPhones, the 17th model. Apple is leaning toward purple, and just one of the new hues will be introduced to the roster. Memory Apple's Pro models will allow greater background app retention and speedier performance thanks to their 12GB of RAM. For improved everyday multitasking and user experience, iPhone 17 models will come standard with 8GB of RAM. Optimization of Software According to Apple, AI-based software improvements will actively tap into user experience data and ensure the user has a battery life that can easily last the entire day. In addition, Apple has demonstrated its intention to employ a high-density battery to give the phone a longer life. According to a recent discovery, the battery's silicon construction, rather than graphite, enables the maker to fit around 15% more energy into the same area as ordinary rechargeable battery packs. With such an innovation, Apple could increase the phone's battery life in such a compact and thin form factor. iPhone 17 expected price in India, USA, and UAE The initial pricing of the iPhone 17 range is anticipated to be about Rs 79,900 when it launches in India. However, there is a chance that the cost of the Pro and standard models will go up. The Trump administration's revised trade tariffs are mostly to blame for this possible increase. Production costs for iPhones made in China have increased due to continued geopolitical tensions between the United States and China; this could lead to higher retail prices globally. The entry-level iPhone 17 is expected to start at about AED 3,799 in the United Arab Emirates and approximately $899 in the United States.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India: Check out the expected specifications, launch timeline, and more
iPhone 17 Pro Max price in India: iPhone 17 September launch leaks are gaining momentum as Apple prepares to introduce its most extensive lineup yet—iPhone 17, 17 Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max—in the week of September 8–12, 2025, with India likely to follow in mid-September. The series promises game-changing upgrades: larger, smoother ProMotion 120 Hz LTPO displays, a new ultra-slim iPhone 17 Air, advanced A19 Pro chipsets, and redesigned camera systems across the range. Market watchers are especially intrigued by the introduction of a horizontal camera bar, heightened selfie performance, and possibly even vapour-chamber cooling in the Pro models. With pricing in India expected to start around ₹79,900 for the base model and climb to ₹1.65 lakh for the Pro Max, Apple seems poised to redefine premium expectations this fall. Stay tuned to discover how this lineup could reshape the flagship landscape. iPhone 17 Pro Max launch date in India (Expected) According to Mark Gurman's most recent Power On newsletter's Q&A section, Apple is anticipated to reveal the iPhone 17 series between September 8 and September 12. Although Apple loves Tuesdays and holds its launch events after Labour Day, Gurman pointed out that there is a very tiny likelihood that this year's event will occur on September 8 and that it will occur on September 9 or 10. He said, "Apple typically avoids product announcements on September 11 and doesn't host events on Fridays, so September 12 is out of the question." iPhone 17 Pro Max expected specifications The leak, which Forbes reported, suggests that the iPhone 17 Pro Max may have a battery that is nearly 5,000mAh in size, outperforming the current heavyweight, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, which has a 4,676mAh battery. That would represent a notable increase in capacity of over 10%. The widely circulated rumor that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will be thicker than its predecessor, going from 8.25mm to roughly 8.725mm, is supporting these allegations. Without significantly changing how the phone feels in the hand, that extra half-millimeter might provide enough room for a larger battery. Better cameras, faster processors, and more intelligent AI are just a few of Apple's annual improvements, but users still have high expectations for battery life. The battery life of the iPhone 16 Pro Max is now an amazing 33 hours, compared to 29 hours for the iPhone 14 Pro Max and only 20 hours for the iPhone 12 Pro Max. That figure might rise to 35 hours or more, according Apple analysts, if the iPhone 17 Pro Max gets an additional 300mAh. According to a MacRumors leak, the iPhone 17 Pro Max (as well as its sister, the iPhone 17 Pro), would include three 48MP rear cameras and an enhanced 24MP front camera in addition to longer battery life. It's interesting to note that there haven't been any significant rumors about the two models' camera capabilities. With a larger design to accommodate a nearly 5,000mAh battery, the iPhone 17 Pro Max appears to be the lineup's endurance winner, but Apple has not confirmed anything as of yet. Even if other specifications are essentially the same as the Pro version, that might be enough to make it the preferred option for power users. The countdown to the newest iPhone has begun, with a launch anticipated in a few months. iPhone 17 Pro Max expected price in India It is projected that the next Apple iPhone 17 would cost around Rs 89,900, while the iPhone 17 Air will cost close to Rs 99,900. The top-tier iPhone 17 Pro Max may be priced for approximately Rs. 1,64,900, while the iPhone 17 Pro is anticipated to retail for approximately Rs. 1,39,900.
