In recent months, there have been rumors that Apple will raise prices again with the new generation of iPhone 17. However, a recent report from JPMorgan brings slightly more optimistic news - at least for the US market.

Apple has officially announced its fall “Awe dropping” event for September 9. The focus will be on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which are rumored to get a completely new rear with a horizontal “camera bar”, A19 Pro chip (3 nm), 12 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 7, larger screens (up to 6.9") and upgraded optics: for the first time, all three rear cameras are said to be 48 MP, and the selfie is 24 MP. As always: some things are official, but not much is yet — so we're marking what's official and what's “work-in-progress”.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 6 in 2014, we got a bigger screen, but also an unwanted bonus: the first protruding camera module. A small “pimple” that turned into a real mountain with each new generation. If the rumors are true, this “Everest” will reach its peak with the upcoming iPhone 17. But it is saved by Mynus MAGBACK.
iPhone 17 without a SIM card?! Apple apparently thinks that plastic SIM cards will be as retro as floppy disks or DVDs in 2025. With the new iPhone 17 series, the SIM slot will be gone in Europe - and not just on the "Pro" models, but on the entire line.
Although Apple is keeping its new devices under wraps like they're state secrets from Area 51, rumors and leaks surrounding the iPhone 17 are getting louder. It's clear: we're getting closer to another September spectacle from Cupertino. And not just any kind of one – but one that's supposed to be the biggest step forward in iPhone history. Thinner, smarter and, of course, more expensive. The iPhone 17 is set to shake up the smartphone world, and we've rounded up everything that's currently being rumored – or that Apple hasn't yet been able to successfully deny.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is one of the most ambitious phones in its class: a 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED with 120 Hz and 3,200 nits, a quadruple IP certification (IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K), a 7,000 mAh with 90 W, the new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, and a triple camera with a 2.5x telephoto lens. It starts at 1,999 CNY = 240 euros in China; the global release is expected to bring minor changes.
Foldable phones have long had a bad reputation. Too thick, too heavy, with batteries that die just by looking at TikTok, cameras that prefer to pretend to belong in the middle class, and apps that still don't know how to behave on two screens. Waterproof? Half-hearted. Sensitivity? Too bad for anyone who has ever had their phone slip out of their hands. All of this sounded like a typical description of a foldable phone from 2023 until recently. Then along comes the Honor Magic V5 and confidently says: "No thanks, I'm not making these compromises anymore."
The Xiaomi 16 series brings fresh rumors of larger flat screens, advanced autofocus cameras, and massive batteries. From a mini model for compact phone lovers to ultra versions with revolutionary zoom - will this be the year Xiaomi truly dominates the competition?
A cheap smartphone?! As new models hit the shelves, older flagships become a real bargain. We checked several sources and compiled a list of the best deals on phones from 2024 that are now almost half the price but still top-notch.
If you're a fan of technology that blends creativity with technology, this news will definitely interest you. Imagine a smartphone that's not just for selfies and social media, but a true cinematic machine in your pocket. Canon recently filed a patent that hints at just that. Is this Canon's final entry into the world of camera phones? Let's take a closer look. A Canon smartphone in 2026?
Did you ever think that Apple, the tech giant that gave us the iPhone and changed the world, would now seek help from its biggest rival? Well, according to the latest information from Bloomberg, that's exactly what's happening! Apple is in early talks with Google to use their advanced AI technology, Gemini, to completely overhaul Siri. Yes, the same Siri that once promised to revolutionize, but is now better known for telling us the weather or playing us a song – but what if she soon becomes a real smart assistant that reads our minds? Let's take a look at the details of this potential turnaround that could put Apple back on the map of AI innovation.
The Google Pixel 10 Pro XL is here with the new Tensor G5 chip (TSMC, 3 nm), Qi2 magnets and the promise of faster AI features. In synthetic CPU tests, the improvement over the Pixel 9 Pro XL is noticeable, but against the Snapdragon 8 Elite there is still a gap - especially in graphics, where early results even hint at a step back. Why is this not just Twitter drama and why should you care? We break down the numbers, the context and the implications.
