Apple may have further reduced production plans for the standard iPhone 17, according to a new leak. A tipster claims some manufacturing lines could suspend around one-third of their capacity after Apple reportedly reassessed demand expectations. The report attributes the move to rising hardware costs, which could affect demand for the entry-level model. Apple has not confirmed the claims. Previous reports also suggested the company had already lowered iPhone 17 production expectations by around 15 percent.

Apple's first foldable iPhone is expected to launch alongside the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. The purported handset, dubbed iPhone Ultra, has surfaced in yet another leak ahead of its anticipated debut. A tipster claims it could feature one of the flattest foldable displays in the industry, with a crease that is barely visible. The Cupertino-based tech giant is said to be evaluating two different manufacturing approaches to achieve this.

iPhone 18 Pro Max could be significantly more expensive to manufacture compared to its predecessor. The handset, which could be joined by the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone Ultra, is expected to debut at Apple’s September event. While the Cupertino-based tech giant has yet to confirm any details, a market research firm has analysed its estimated cost of components. Overall, the highest storage variant of the iPhone 18 Pro Max could be approximately $300 (roughly Rs. 28,600) more expensive than its predecessor.

iPhone Ultra's production is on schedule for Apple's first foldable handset to go on sale in September, according to a report citing multiple “supply chain sources” (translated from Chinese). The design of the foldable has reportedly been finalised. The iPhone Ultra is said to have reached the “peak production” (translated from Chinese) stage. Further, the report highlights that delivering Apple’s first foldable iPhone by September should not be a problem. The report contradicts a recent article published by TF International Security analyst Ming-Chi Kuo on X. The analyst predicted that the Cupertino-based tech giant will follow a similar sale cycle for the iPhone Ultra as the iPhone X.

Global PC shipments declined 4.9 percent YoY in Q2 this year to 68.2 million units, according to the latest IDC report. This is the first decline after nine consecutive quarters of growth, and the memory chip shortage is the key reason behind the fall. Additionally, storage and geopolitical issues also continued to weigh on the market. Lenovo came in the top spot with 24.4 percent market share, followed by HP, Dell, Apple and Asus.

Apple's upcoming iPhone 18 Pro will reportedly retain the aluminium alloy design introduced with the iPhone 17 Pro. The upcoming phone is said to have a noticeably thicker aluminium frame and camera module than its predecessor.

Apple and Broadcom have agreed to extend their partnership till 2031, the US-based chipmaker revealed in an 8K regulatory filing submitted to the US Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) on Monday. The renewed multi-year agreements between the two US-based tech giants include the development and supply of custom application-specific integrated circuit (ASIC) silicon chips. The chipmaker says that Apple will use these chips in future generations of devices. Broadcom has been supplying RF chips and networking modules to Apple for its devices for years now. These chips enable multiple wireless connectivity features for Apple devices. Moreover, Apple’s custom C1 and C1X modems also comprise a few components, which are supplied by Broadcom.

Apple started rolling out the latest iOS 27 beta 3 update on Monday. According to a report, the latest beta version of iOS 27 adds “Pace” and “Expressivity” customisations for Siri’s voice. The adjustments will purportedly tweak how the voice assistant responds. The customisations might also affect how the assistant responds within Maps and Safari. These Siri Voice customisations were reportedly earlier labelled as “Coming Soon”. As the names suggest, the “Pace” slider controls the speed at which Siri narrates answers, while the “Expressivity” slider lets users tweak the tone of the answers. It is said to be similar to OpenAI’s voice customisations for ChatGPT.

With the launch of the iPhone 18 series anticipated for September, leaks have been providing us with a glimpse of what to expect. The lineup, which is primarily expected to comprise the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max, has now surfaced in a regulatory filing in China.

Since then, UPI and netbanking have been the existing payment options, alongside prepaid Apple ID balances for purchases and subscriptions.

Apple could be developing a new smart wearable with the codename B790, as references to the device have reportedly been spotted in an iOS 27 system prompt. The system prompt further reveals that the device will be equipped with two cameras, placed on either side of the user’s head, “left first, right second”. Additionally, the references to “spatial relations”, “visual properties,” and visual identifiers suggest that the upcoming smart wearable from Apple will be capable of spatial imaging and feature visual intelligence. The smart wearable could either be Apple's smart glasses or an AirPods model with cameras.

The iPhone Ultra, Apple's first foldable smartphone, will not be available for pre-order or go on sale before the fourth quarter of 2026, TF International Security analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims, citing an industry survey. This year’s iPhone Ultra, which is said to arrive as Apple’s first foldable handset, will also reportedly see limited early production due to “manufacturing challenges”. The analyst predicts that Apple will ship 5,00,000 to 1 million units of the iPhone Ultra in the third quarter of this year, estimated to be 10 percent of the total shipments of 7 to 8 million in the second half of 2026.

Apple has been rumoured to expand its next-generation iPhone lineup beyond the traditional launch window of September. While it is widely believed to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Ultra later this year, the iPhone 18, iPhone 18e, and the iPhone Air successor are slated to arrive in early 2027. Although the tech giant has yet to confirm these plans, renders of the purported iPhone Air 2 have surfaced online.

Apple opposes the proposals, while Google says it has already introduced changes that address some of the regulator's concerns.

Apple released the new security fixes earlier than anticipated to adapt to the new reality, as AI enables faster “development of malicious hacking tools”, the company told Reuters. The company reportedly said that it wants to reduce the time between the first public release of an update and the rollout of the stable version to users. With this, Apple could be looking to give bad actors less time to find vulnerabilities, even before it is released to a wider user base.
