Apple will launch its new iPhone 17 series this month, and the iPhone 17 Pro models are expected to get a new design for the rear casing and the camera area. But more significant changes to the lineup are not expected until next year, when the iPhone 18 models arrive.

An iPhone 17 announcement is a dead cert for September 2025 – Apple has already sent out invites for an "Awe dropping" event on Tuesday, September 9 at the Apple Park campus in Cupertino, California. The timing follows Apple's trend of introducing new iPhone models annually in the fall.
At the event, Apple is expected to unveil its new-generation iPhone 17, an all-new ultra-thin iPhone 17...

We're only days away from Apple's "Awe dropping" fall event scheduled to take place on Tuesday, September 9 – and along with the new iPhone 17 series, we're going to get a new version of the Apple Watch Ultra for the first time since 2023.
By the time the Ultra 3 is unveiled, it will have been two years since the previous model arrived. The intervening period has left plenty of room for...
For all my criticisms of the Apple Studio Display (and they are many), no one understands design like Apple. Their products (this is the legacy and influence of Jony + Steve, I believe) exhibit intentionality in every feature.
This thing from Samsung looks like they didn't understand the assignment and didn't have a clear view of their neighbor's paper either.
Tough to keep passing on it at this price... must resist. I appreciate the sales but once you are knocking on the door of 50% off it might be time to adjust your MSRP.
Samsung must really be struggling to sell these things
I'd imagine the market for $1500 27" 5K panels is fairly limited, otherwise we'd see a lot more options out there. Windows handles fractional scaling better than macOS (at the cost of less consistency across the OS) so most Windows users are content with the wide selection of much less expensive 27" 4K panels. It's primarily Mac users willing to pay a premium for true 2x QHD scaling on 5K because of the way Apple chose to implement fractional scaling in macOS. Samsung could never compete against a first-party Apple hardware option among Apple loyalists unless it was at a deep, deep discount.
Biggest design overhaul since iOS 7 with Liquid Glass, plus new Apple Intelligence features and improvements to Messages, Phone, Safari, Shortcuts, and more. Developer beta available now ahead of public beta in July.
