Founded in 1976 by Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne, Apple is best known for making some of the world’s most ubiquitous consumer devices, software, and services: the iPhone, iPad, iMac and MacBook computers, Apple TV, Apple Watch, iOS, iCloud, iTunes, Apple Music, Apple Pay, and many more. Led by CEO Tim Cook since 2011, Apple is one of the largest technology companies in the world alongside Microsoft, Google, Amazon, and Facebook.
We’re ready for the long-rumored foldable iPhone, along with any new Apple Watches, AirPods, and other surprises.
It’s hard to see exactly what’s in the teaser — which is John Ternus’s first since taking over as Apple CEO — but it looks a bit like a camera lens. We won’t have to wait much longer to find out, as Apple’s launch event kicks off at 1PM ET today.
Huawei says it didn’t send it, but an agency claiming to represent the company has been contacting tech influencers, offering to pay them to promote Huawei’s new Mate XT 2 foldable around the iPhone Duo launch, and disguise the posts to look like an organic, grassroots groundswell of enthusiasm.
It currently has a page on its website for “iPhone Ultra” cases, skins, and screen protectors. Preorder notices say they’ll ship in September and “early October.” Dbrand’s also offering accessories for the unannounced iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max. We’ll see if Apple’s rumored foldable fits the case on Wednesday.

It’s not too surprising that most of Apple’s wristwear is now listed as unavailable on its website for shipment or pickup (but not all — we did see some Ultra models available), with a product event scheduled for tomorrow, but MacRumors points out that the value-priced version of the Apple Watch is unavailable too.
Based on the rumors, we have been anticipating updates for the Apple Watch Series 11 and Ultra 3, and maybe the SE 3 is just taking a break in solidarity. We’ll find out tomorrow.

The project’s developers say they now have “almost everything” running in Linux on M3 devices, but they’re still working on full DCP and GPU support. Asahi warned users not to expect “performant or power-efficient 3D acceleration right now.” Sleep mode and the HDMI port are also not working yet.

The acquisition happened earlier this year. Sonera claimed in 2023 that it will make “brain activity as easy to measure as heart rate, temperature, and other physiological signals,” which could lend itself to future wearable devices.
The launch of its first foldable iPhone proves Apple still calls the shots.
Soaring RAM costs are driving up prices across the tech industry. It may take years to settle down.
We’re expecting the reveal of an all-new iPhone form factor on Wednesday. It will undoubtedly be an expensive beast. So what will it take to make you consider spending your hard-earned money? What features are you hoping to see? What would be a deal-breaker if it were missing?
TikTok user CatJacks created an app for Apple’s headset that allows him to see through walls. When he’s running cable in a house, he’ll peek in the attic, mark where the studs are, then come around the other side and be able to see them and the cavity in 3D.
Along with the chargers and cables, Belkin showed off matching power banks for its colorful laptop at IFA this week. The UltraCharge Pro 20K Power Bank ($99.95) and BoostCharge Pro Magnetic Power Bank 5K ($59.95) in matching Neo colors are Apple Store exclusives. The entire collection could really cheer up my desk on a dreary Monday morning.
Following its season three finale this week, Apple released a teaser for Silo’s fourth season, premiering in less than a year — but watch out for spoilers if you haven’t seen this week’s episode yet.
Developer Benjamin Stark (ZodTTD) has been making emulators for iOS since long before Apple officially allowed them in its app store. Following their well-featured Gamma PS1 emulator comes Psimulator that plays Dreamcast games with features like cloud syncing, Bluetooth controller support, and a skin designer right within the $4.99 app.
Ahead of Apple’s September 9th launch event, Gurman compiled everything he’s heard so far about the company’s upcoming devices, which could include a foldable “iPhone Ultra,” a touchscreen MacBook, AirPods with cameras, and a redesign for the Apple Watch.
According to Omdia, Apple has canceled plans for 16.1-inch and 18-inch foldable MacBooks, as well as 14.4-inch and 16.1-inch OLED models. But Omdia also says Apple’s adding a new 13.8-inch OLED MacBook that will sit between the MacBook Air and an OLED MacBook Pro.
According to MacRumors, Apple gave macOS app developers permission to drop support for Intel-based Macs, which got their final OS update last year with macOS Tahoe. Intel Macs won’t get updates for any apps that drop support, but as MacRumors notes, the last compatible version of those apps will continue working.
Before Tuesday’s handover, Tim Cook spoke to the staff in the store at the Apple Visitor Center. He also assured them he would be making many more Apple Store visits in the future, which Bloomberg notes comes with a salary cut, going from $3 million to $2 million annually. An SEC filing from Apple revealed Cook is in line for a compensation package worth around $47 million, while Ternus’ is about $58 million.
