iPhone 17 series to cost more, except the vanilla iPhone 17

Despite Trump's tariffs on non-US-made goods, Apple was able to delay the inevitable price hikes on its products, leaving the iPhone 16 family phones at their original prices. However, that's about to change with the iPhone 17. A market analyst predicts that Apple will raise its prices by $50 in the US on almost all models. This means that the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max will ask $1,049 and $1,249, respectively. Since the rumored iPhone 17 Slim doesn't have an equivalent in the current iPhone 16 lineup, it's hard to tell what the pricing will be, but the general sentiment is that...

Last week, Google revealed the designs of all four Pixel 10-series phones and the week before that it had already confirmed that the new series will be unveiled on August 20.

India has overtaken China as the leading manufacturing hub for smartphones sold in the US. The latest Canalys report shows that 44% of all US smartphone imports for the April–June period (Q2) were made in India.

Today, Meizu has started teasing the upcoming 22, a new smartphone that's going to have the world's thinnest screen bezels, according to the brand itself.

More details about Huawei's next tri-fold smartphone leak, and it won't be called Mate XT 2

Huawei launched the Mate XT, the first tri-fold smartphone in the world, last September, and we're now only a few weeks away from its one-year anniversary. To mark that occasion, Huawei is rumored to launch a new and improved tri-fold smartphone, that we initially assumed would be called Mate XT 2.

It's said to come with improved performance from a new chipset, improved cameras, and new colorways. And that's it, everything else...

Some Samsung Galaxy Z Fold7 units are reportedly not opening completely flat

It seems Samsung might be in some hot water over a growing potential issue with the hinge on its Z Fold7. We've been keeping an eye out for developments and still can't quite decide whether the issue is a real cause for concern or not. Still, it is worth reporting. The facts we have so far are at least a couple of photos published on Reddit of what seem to be store demo units. Indeed, these appear not to be opening fully. That said, the poster does mention that they could "help it a bit", so it's more a case of the hinge not snapping properly than not opening. This might be due to a...
