Apple's facing a nightmare scenario that could pull certain iPhone models right off U.S. shelves, and it's not because of anything the company did wrong.

Apple's been oddly quiet about foldables while Samsung, Google, and even OnePlus have been folding screens left and right. But here's the kicker: Apple is reportedly working on two foldable products, and the iPhone Fold is coming first. According to Ming-Chi Kuo, we're looking at a late 2026 launch with a premium price tag above $2,000—possibly even $2,500. The supply chain is reportedly close to finalizing specifications for this book-style "iPhone Fold," and Foxconn is expected to officially...

You know what's funny? Apple iOS 18 made sure to talk to highlight topographic maps and hiking trails—features that'll thrill outdoor enthusiasts but won't change how most of us navigate daily life.

When you don't feel like talking, let your iPhone do all the work.

Your iPhone has a powerful feature that can keep your secrets hidden from other people. With it, you'll never have to worry about sharing or showing someone something embarrassing or incriminating ever again.

Apple just killed the iPhone SE, replacing it with something bigger, better, and packed with more modern features. The iPhone 16e ditches the old-school design for a large OLED display, a more advanced camera system, and Face ID, making it the most dramatic upgrade in Apple's budget lineup yet.

The iOS 18.5 update is now out for iPhones, landing on May 12 with a tidy bundle of convenience tweaks sprinkled across Apple's core apps and settings. It isn't a headline‑grabbing release like last time, but the update still shaves steps off everyday tasks, surfaces helpful info where you need it, and quietly prepares your device for what's coming next.

Speech-to-text technology can be seen on your iPhone in various places, from the Dictation tool to Apple's new behind-the-scenes, auto-created transcripts for podcast episodes.

Safari on iOS just got a little nosier — and it could unintentionally expose more than you'd like. With Apple's latest update, your recent searches appear front and center whenever you open a new tab or tap into the address bar.

Safari on iOS is more powerful than it looks, especially when you know the hidden gestures that can make your browsing faster and more productive. These shortcuts quietly transform how you navigate the web, manage tabs, and share content across devices. Once you know them all, you'll wonder how you ever lived without them.

Although your iPhone does not offer an option to upgrade internal storage space using a memory card, as some Android phones do, there are plenty of things you can do to clear up storage so you can put everything you want on your device and stop getting those Storage Almost Full alerts.
