The past few months have been an exciting time for tech journalists and enthusiasts alike, thanks to a barrageflagship phone launches. From Samsung’s Z-series foldables to the Google Pixel 11 lineup and more recently, the new iPhone 18 Pro lineup (and the new iPhone Duofoldable).

I’ve known John Ternus for almost a dozen years, but not this John Ternus, the newly minted Apple CEO and sudden global tech celebrity. So, color me pleased when he and his Global Marketing SVP Greg Joswiak agreed to sit down with Tom’s Guide Global Editor-in-Chief Mark Spoonauer and me for a podcast discussion that…

Apple’s first foldable phone is finally coming in the iPhone Duo, and like most other Apple products, the company is famously late entering a new category. Yup, Samsung, Google, Huawei and others have been making foldables for several years, but Apple is adamant that it’s not chasing the Android competition.

The iPhone 18 Pro was unveiled at yesterday’s Surprise and Shine event, and if you’ve decided this is the smartphone for you, now’s the time to get a case sorted. After all, this new handset isn’t cheap, and if you’re investing all that cash you’ll want to take precautions against bumps, scrapes and scratches.

The iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Maxare finally here. Surprisingly, there is still information we don’t know yet, including battery size (something Apple doesn’t share) and how much better the A20 Pro chipset is compared to the A19 series.

Apple’s new foldable iPhone Duo, which was officially revealed yesterday, is a super-desirable piece of tech. It offers a foldable screen that’s a whopping 50 per cent larger than iPhone 18 Pro Max and has an impressive selection of features, including a 48MP camera.

HUAWEI’s gamble on the once-unconventional “wide” form factor appears to be paying off, and rivals are scrambling to catch up. The company recently launched the wide, non-foldable HUAWEI Pura X View, and it has seen surprisingly strong initial sales. In fact, the reception is so good that multiple Android competitors are now re-evaluating their own hardware…

Apple made waves yesterday with the reveal of the iPhone 18 Pro and 18 Pro Max. This next generation of the groundbreaking smartphone promises a powerful new 48MP camera, the vapour‑cooled A20 Pro chip which can handle AI with ease, and enhanced battery life — especially in the Pro Max.

The initial reactions to Apple’s new, foldable iPhone Duo seem to be largely positive, with a lot of praise for the various software tweaks that have been implemented in iOS 27 for the new form factor — including a cool transition animation that shows up when you switch between the inner and outer screens.

Earlier this year, many Apple products (but not iPhones, AirPods or Watches) were hit with a huge set of price hikes. And then, more recently, Apple unveiled its new Mac mini range, which also comes at a 50% higher starting price than just five months before.
