Kuo: Ultra-Thin iPhone 17 to Feature A19 Chip, Single Rear Camera, Semi-Titanium Frame, and More
Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo today shared alleged specifications for a new ultra-thin iPhone 17 model rumored to launch next year.
Kuo expects the device to be equipped with a 6.6-inch display with a current-size Dynamic Island, a standard A19 chip rather than an A19 Pro chip, a single rear camera, and an Apple-designed 5G chip. He also expects the device to have a titanium-aluminum frame, but with a lower percentage of titanium than used for iPhone 15 Pro models.
The analyst added that while there will not be an iPhone 17 Plus, the new ultra-thin model will not be a replacement for it. Instead, he said the device will be an all-new model, with its main selling point to be its "new design" rather than specs.

Apple Expected to Adopt Technology That May Pave Way for 2TB iPhones
Taiwanese research firm TrendForce this week said it anticipates that Apple will begin releasing iPhones with quad-level cell (QLC) storage by 2026. This technology could pave the way for iPhones with 2TB of storage in the future.
QLC is a denser storage technology compared to the triple-level cell (TLC) technology used for storage chips in existing iPhones, and this would allow for higher storage capacity within the same physical footprint. In addition, QLC storage is typically less expensive than TLC in terms of price per gigabyte. However, one downside is that QLC storage typically offers slower read and write speeds compared to TLC storage.
DigiTimes earlier this year claimed that Apple was evaluating QLC for 1TB models of the iPhone 16 Pro and iPhone 16 Pro Max, so the technology could end up being used for both 1TB and 2TB storage capacities.

Apple's Expansion in India Set to Accelerate Thanks to Duty Reductions
Apple stands to benefit significantly from India's recent reduction in import duties on mobile phones and components, aimed at boosting local manufacturing and making high-end smartphones more affordable (via Reuters).
India has announced a 5% cut in import duties on mobile phones, printed circuit board assemblies (PCBAs), and mobile device chargers, reducing the rate from 20% to 15%. The move is expected to save Apple $35–50 million annually and supports the company's efforts to increase its manufacturing presence in India. Apple's assembly operations in the country, conducted through its partners like Foxconn, have grown significantly in recent years, with 14% of all iPhones now being produced in India. Foxconn has recently invested in new manufacturing plants in Karnataka and Tamil Nadu, further boosting production capacity.

Apple Intelligence to Generate Playlist Artwork in iOS 18
iOS 18 will feature the ability to create playlist artwork in Apple Music using generative AI, beta code suggests.
Apple is seemingly preparing to introduce a new feature in iOS 18 that allows users to create customized playlist artwork in Apple Music using Apple Intelligence. The feature, uncovered in the iOS 18 beta 4 code by 9to5Mac, will enable users to generate unique images tailored to their playlists using Image Playground.
At the core of this new functionality is a new "Create Image" button, which users will see while editing their playlists. Once tapped, this button will invoke Image Playground, a tool showcased at WWDC earlier this year. Image Playground enables users to generate new images by inputting written commands. These AI-generated images can vary in appearance, offering animation, illustration, and sketch styles, though it does not support the creation of photorealistic images. Users can specify their preferences for the artwork, and Apple Music will produce several options that match the playlist's theme or content.
report from Bloomberg, some of these AI features might launch until 2025. Given that Apple Intelligence has not appeared in beta 4, it seems likely that the full rollout may be postponed until iOS 18.1 or later. iOS 18 is slated for release in the fall, with a beta preview already accessible to developers and public beta users.

Kuo: 2026 iPhone to Use New Advanced Camera Sensor From Samsung
Apple's iPhone will adopt a new 1/2.6-inch 48MP Ultra Wide CMOS image sensor (CIS) made by Samsung as early as 2026, breaking Sony's years-long monopoly as Apple's CIS supplier, according to Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo.
Writing in a brief report published on X (formerly Twitter), Kuo said Samsung has already established a dedicated team within its ranks to work on the camera components with a view to specifically supplying Apple.
For years now, Apple has exclusively sourced CIS for its iPhones from Sony. However, recent developments suggest a strategic shift away from the Japanese supplier due to concerns about reliability and Apple's need to integrate new technologies into its camera system.

Internal Change to iPhone 16 Models Expected to Reduce Overheating
Shortly after the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max were released last September, some customers began to experience an issue with the devices overheating. Apple eventually mitigated the problem with an iOS 17 update, but it might go a step further with the iPhone 16 models that are set to be released later this year.
The Information today cited a source who said that iPhone 16 models will be equipped with a "larger graphite sheet" inside the chassis of the devices, to address potential overheating. This corroborates a rumor from last November that claimed iPhone 16 models would feature an improved thermal management system.

iPhone SE 4 Production Will Reportedly Begin Ramping Up in October
Following nearly two years of rumors about a fourth-generation iPhone SE, The Information today reported that Apple suppliers are finally planning to begin ramping up mass production of the device in October of this year.
If accurate, that timeframe would mean that the next iPhone SE would not be announced alongside the iPhone 16 series in September, as expected. Instead, the report speculates that the device could be released ahead of the Lunar New Year in January 2025. However,
all three existing iPhone SE models were announced in March over the years, so a March 2025 release seems quite possible too.
Rumored features for the fourth-generation iPhone SE include a 6.1-inch OLED display, Face ID, an Action button, and a USB-C port. The device is expected to be similar to the base iPhone 14, although reports said it would have only a single rear camera, and it might share the iPhone 16's rear-panel manufacturing process.

Everything New in iOS 18 Beta 4
Apple released the fourth beta of iOS 18 today, introducing small changes to a number of features throughout the operating system. There are no big additions in this beta, but Apple is continuing to refine existing settings and design choices.
Apple plans to continue updating iOS 18 over the next few months, with the update set to be released this fall. We've rounded up all of the changes that we've found in iOS 18 beta 4 so far.
CarPlay Wallpapers
Apple added new Light Mode and Dark Mode wallpaper options for CarPlay, and the new wallpaper mirrors the wallpapers that have been added on the iPhone.
Here are all 8 new CarPlay wallpapers in iOS 18 beta 4

Settings
Apple has added a new way to access iCloud settings in the Settings app. There's now an iCloud option paired with App Store, Game Center, and Wallet. iCloud settings can still be accessed by tapping on your Apple Account and choosing iCloud from that interface.
Camera Controls
In the Camera section of the Settings app, there is a new "Controls Menu" option under Preserve Settings. The Controls Menu preserves the previously used camera tool when expanding the controls menu rather than showing the full list of camera control options when using the Camera app.
Hidden Folder
Apple has changed the design of the Hidden folder in the App Library. Rather than showing an icon of an eye with a line through it, it is now blanked out app squares, which makes it stand out less.
Dark Mode/Light Mode Icons
The Dark Mode and Light Mode icons are now appropriately synced to the Light and Dark Mode settings on the iPhone when you use the "Automatic" setting under Customize.
With Automatic turned on, the icons now turn dark when Dark Mode is activated and light when Dark Mode is off. This wasn't working in prior betas.
Stocks Icon
Apple tweaked the design of the Stocks app icon. The lines are subtler, and there is no longer a white haze over the bottom part of the icon.
iPhone Mirroring
This is a macOS Sequoia feature more than an iOS 18 feature, but when using iPhone Mirroring with macOS Sequoia beta 4, you can change the size of the iPhone window on your Mac's display.
Control Center
There's a new Control Center toggle for Bluetooth, but it is not yet working. Apple also added a Silent Mode/Mute toggle and an Accessibility Eye Mirroring option.
The Open Music Control Center option has been removed.
These changes are also applicable to the Lock Screen Controls.
AssistiveTouch
There are new Type to Siri and Apple Watch Mirroring options available for AssistiveTouch.
Apple Intelligence
There are additional references to Apple Intelligence features, which suggests Apple is continuing to prepare to implement Apple Intelligence in the beta in the not too distant future.

iPhone 17 Rumored to Feature Mechanical Aperture for Portrait Mode
Apple is planning to release at least one iPhone 17 model next year with mechanical aperture, according to a report published today by The Information.
The mechanical system would allow users to adjust the size of the iPhone 17's aperture, which refers to the opening of the camera lens through which light enters. All existing iPhone camera lenses have fixed apertures, but some Android smartphones have offered variable aperture over the years, such as Samsung's Galaxy S9 series.
With a mechanical system, users could manually set a smaller aperture. This would allow photos to be shot with a shallow depth-of-field effect, where the subject stays in focus while the background is blurred. Apple already offers this effect on iPhones with Portrait Mode, but it is artificially generated, whereas this change would make it natural.
Portrait Mode can occasionally have difficulties separating subjects in the foreground from the background, a problem that a mechanical aperture would solve.

Apple Reportedly Working on Foldable iPhone With Similar Design as Samsung's Galaxy Z Flip
Apple is working on a foldable iPhone that could be released as early as 2026, according to an exclusive report published today by The Information.
The report claims the device would feature a "clamshell" design, similar to Samsung's line of Galaxy Z Flip smartphones. Apple is said to have contacted suppliers in Asia in recent months about making components for the device.
Rumors about a foldable iPhone have circulated for many years, but the report claims that Apple is finally moving forward with the project. The device has allegedly been given a codename of "V68" inside Apple, suggesting that work is ramping up.
Apple is said to have struggled to achieve its goal of eliminating a visible crease in the area where the iPhone's screen would fold, but this obstacle could eventually be overcome. However, there is of course a possibility that Apple decides not to release a foldable iPhone, should the device fail to meet the company's high quality standards.

ESR Crowdfunding World's First Wallet With Built-In 'Find My' Support
Last year, ESR was one of the first companies to launch a MagSafe wallet accessory with full support for Apple's Find My network, using an on-board rechargeable module to tap into the network of hundreds of millions of Apple devices to help you keep tabs on your wallet. ESR has returned today with a new crowdfunding campaign for what it says is the first full-fledged wallet with integrated Find My support.
Available in seven color options, ESR's Geo Wallet is a traditional bifold wallet with a thin Find My module that allows you to keep track of your wallet's real-time location via the Items tab in Apple's Find My app. While some wallet makers have introduced wallets that allow you to attach an AirTag and other accessory companies have launched thin card-style Find My trackers, ESR appears to be the first to put the tracker right into the wallet itself, helping to reduce weight and bulk.
ESR says the battery for the Find My module in the Geo Wallet lasts up to five months, and with a magnetic charging cable the battery can be recharged in just two hours.
With windowed slots for two ID cards, four additional slots for bank or membership cards, and a divided compartment for organizing your cash, the Geo Wallet also offer RFID-blocking technology to help keep your cards safe.
The Geo Wallet is available in seven colors: carbon fiber, opal gray, elephant gray, twilight black, cocoa, aged leather, and tangerine.
multiple reward tiers available with varying pricing. The $38 Super Early Bird tier has already sold out, but there are still some slots left in the $41 Early Bird tier, and if you miss out on those it jumps to $44 at the Kickstarter Special tier. Multipacks are also available.
As a Kickstarter campaign, the Geo Wallet is not available for immediate delivery, but ESR is aiming to start production in August and begin shipping in January, and the company has a track record of delivering on its campaigns.
