The Gun God Handheld combines a smartphone with a portable gaming console, featuring a comfortable grip and multi-finger controls that clear the screen for better visibility.
The most developed concept is the Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, which lets you snap hardware modules onto the phone magnetically. Telephoto lenses, action cameras, extra battery packs, and over a dozen other components can attach and detach as needed. TECNO presented two design versions: ATOM, with a clean white-and-red palette built around the idea of efficient, intentional use, and MODA, which takes the same modular logic but wraps it in a bolder, more aggressive look.
First, we got iPhones in Hermès orange, and now we might get them in Louboutin red. According to 's Mark Gurman, Apple is already mulling over what the next premium colorway will be for its iPhone Pro models. While we're not expecting iPhone 18 announcements until later this year, Gurman reported that "red is the new flagship color in testing for the next iPhone Pros."
When folded, it's roughly the size of the Mini, maybe even smaller depending on how thick the hinge is. When unfolded, you get a full 6.1-inch or 6.7-inch display, same as the regular iPhone or Pro Max. The people who loved the Mini weren't asking for a smaller screen, they were asking for a phone that didn't dominate their pocket or require two hands for basic tasks. A clamshell gives them that portability without forcing them to squint at a 5.4-inch display.
Now, you might argue that I'm stretching the term "news" a little, since we've had ads in App Store search since 2016, and even this latest expansion of the program, creating multiple paid slots per query, was first floated last month. But you would be wrong, because we just learned two new nuggets of knowledge: the timeframe, and the markets which will get the extra ads first (the U.K., followed by Japan, followed by everyone else). So there.
Apple has always had this gravitational pull when it comes to design - clean lines, considered materials, and that unmistakable restraint that somehow still feels exciting. It's the reason a whole ecosystem of third-party accessories exists that speaks the same visual language, sometimes so fluently you'd swear they came out of Cupertino.
As a company and brand, Apple has placed a great deal of emphasis on privacy over the years-both in its product design and in its advertising. Protecting user data is a major talking point and has driven ads like 2025's "Flock" campaign, in which bird-like cameras fly around tracking people in a dystopian setting. The crux of Apple's pitch is simple: The company says it doesn't sell data to third-party distributors and it doesn't share your data for marketing purposes.
People are buying identity as much as they are buying protection. Aulumu, the Shenzhen-based accessory brand with a growing cult following, seems to have understood this from day one. Which is exactly why the brand showed up to the Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra's launch with two cases that could hardly be more different from each other.
Thanks to the way Google's for years now been deconstructing Android and pulling OS-level pieces out of the operating system itself - so they exist as regular ol' apps and can consequently be updated quickly, frequently, and in a way that reaches everyone instantly, regardless of what phone or carrier they're using - even Android phones from eight years ago get updates numerous times a year that are all virtually equivalent to an entire iOS operating system rollout.
Apple is widely rumored to be introducing variable aperture on the iPhone 18 Pro and Pro Max later this year, and Samsung is apparently paying very close attention to iPhone-related rumors. That's because the Korean company is now said to be considering re-adding the feature to its lineup as well. The Galaxy S9 and Galaxy S10 both had variable aperture main cameras, but the feature was dropped with the Galaxy S20 generation in 2020.
Normally, the icon on the home screen shows the second hand smoothly gliding around the clock face. However, when an iPhone is in Low Power Mode, the second hand begins ticking around the clock instead. 'Wait... the Clock icon on iOS ticks like quartz watch in low power mode and mechanical in normal mode???' said @ShishirShelke1. 'That's ridiculous attention to detail.' His discovery has amazed iPhone users, although many pointed out that this probably wasn't a design decision by Apple.
