The latest Huawei folding phone kind of previews the iPhone Ultra — 9to5Mac

Apple is believed to be going for a wider screen on the outside of its foldable iPhone, which creates a wider aspect ratio for the larger screen on the inside.

I wasn’t very keen to such devices until I saw and okayed with one recently. I’m not sure about this form factor, though. It reminds me of the fat iPod nano. What’s I’d like to see in the future is a foldable iPad where the full size would be equivalent to the current 11-inch iPad, but once folded would be closer to a mix of the iPhone 17 Pro Max and an iPad mini.

Just finished watching this video from Tom’s Guide with Apple’s Joz and John Ternus. I paid attention to Ternus’s words and answers while asking myself: is this guy really the CEO Apple should be transitioning to? I think so. I much prefer his tone and more apparent enthusiasm compared to Tim’s.

On the Name of Apple’s Foldable iPhone — Daring Fireball

I have no inside knowledge about what Apple plans to name this device, but I’ll eat my proverbial hat if they name it “iPhone Fold”. That name is so dumb it’s what Samsung calls their foldables. You don’t name a device for what it does, you name it for what it connotes.

The iPhone Duo potential name is not doing it either because it denotes a device with two screens or two sides that you fold together.

iPhone 18 Pro Reportedly Won’t Come in Black — MacRumors

Apple offers the iPhone 17 Pro and ‌iPhone 17 Pro‌ Max in just three colors – Silver, Cosmic Orange, and Deep Blue – but notably there’s no black option. Last year was the first time Apple’s high-end iPhones have not been available with a black or dark gray color option in any way, but those hoping for the return of black this year for the iPhone 18 Pro should look away now.

My go-to choice is black, the only exception was for the iPhone 13 Pro which was in light blue (or whatever color they used to call it). If no black option for the 18 Pro Max, then my second choice goes to the deep red.
