iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Duo hot-take

Now that we've had a few days to mull over Apple's newest iPhones, it's time to share our initial thoughts. Some things are as clear as day - Apple will still sell every new iPhone that it manufactures, and it's almost a 100% certainty that it will struggle to keep the iPhone Duo in stock. With that out of the way, here's our hot take. Apple took its sweet time with its first foldable, and it shows Apple is said to have been actively working on its first foldable since at least 2019. Reportedly, Tim Cook came back from a trip to China, apparently very energized about...

Deals: iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max are on pre-order, iPhone Duo coming soon, here are the alternatives

Pre-orders for the new iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max started this Saturday. And since this is Apple we are talking about, there are no pre-order goodies – the opposite, actually, since Apple raised the iPhone 16, 17 and Air prices by $100. But we won’t be looking at the vanilla models today since the vanilla iPhone 18 isn’t expected until next year. So, here are the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. They feature Apple’s first 2nm chip, the A20 Pro, which runs at close to 5GHz (it peaks at 4.93GHz) and posted massive Geekbench scores. Additionally, the new models promise longer battery life,...

Samsung Galaxy S26 FE's India price leaks

The Samsung Galaxy S26 FE, unveiled last month, went on sale in select markets on September 4. India wasn't part of the first wave of rollout, as sales are scheduled to begin there on September 18. That may be why Samsung didn't reveal the Galaxy S26 FE's India price. However, if a new leak is to be believed, the Samsung Galaxy S26 FE will have a base price of INR69,999 in India. For that price, you'll get the Galaxy S26 FE's base model with 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. The 8GB/256GB model will cost INR79,999. The Galaxy S26 FE also comes with a 512GB storage option, but it doesn't seem to...

The iPhone Duo does not solve foldables' biggest problems

After leaking more than a communal tap, the iPhone Duo — Apple’s first foldable — is finally a reality. We are used to foldables around here, but for Apple, this is the first and only major new iPhone form factor in 19 years since the original iPhone. Needless to say, that’s a pretty big deal. But as stated before, foldables are not new to us. By now, the original Galaxy Fold units have completed seven trips around the Sun, and we have seen countless models from every other major manufacturer since then. Some have come and gone in such a blink of an eye that many people won’t even...
