Apple seems to be making a comeback in China, driven by strong demand for the iPhone 17. IDC predicts a record year for global smartphone shipments.

Now is a great time to upgrade your phone. This Cyber Monday has discounts ranging from the Google Pixel 9a to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7.

The iPhone 17 claims the best battery life ever, but are the claims overblown? We spoke with CNET, which put the new phone to the test.

On Monday, Samsung announced the Galaxy Z TriFold, an oft-rumored foldable phone with two hinges and a gigantic inner display. It's coming to the U.S. in early 2026, and people are excited. However, Apple is also said to be working on a foldable iPhone, potentially set for launch in 2026, as well.

Until now, iPhone users have been able to choose between staying on iOS 18 and jumping to iOS 26. That option is about to vanish.

If the iPhone 17e gets a Dynamic Island display it could be a strong incentive to offer buyers looking for a more affordable new iPhone.

The Trump phone was announced in June and was originally set to be released in August. Months later, it has yet to hit the market.

Apple keeps what’s coming next close to its chest. Even so, what it did in 2025 can reveal more of what’s coming in 2026 than the company might like.

A smartphone is essentially a tiny computer in your pocket. A dumb phone lacks the apps and features that smartphones have. More advanced dumb phones, or "feature phones," offer a camera and apps like a calendar or a music player. Some even have minimal internet connectivity.

With so many rumors floating around the iPhone Fold, Apple seems to have advanced the foldable to the pre-production stage, with the launch expected in 2026.
