If you live in the European Union and visit Apple’s website today, you’ll notice a new information snippet alongside iPhones and iPads: colorful energy labels grading each model’s efficiency, durability, and repairability. This change isn’t voluntary, but rather Apple’s compliance with a new EU regulation that just went into effect. The new labels assign each device a grade from A to G for energy efficiency and durability factors, including impact resistance and repairability. But Apple being

Rumor: Two new colors competing for the iPhone 17 base model

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2025-09-04 02:23:00

According to leaker Majin Bu, Apple is experimenting with two new colors for this year’s iPhone 17 base models, but only one might make it to launch. And if the current internal scuttlebutt is anything to go by, there seems to be a frontrunner. Purple vs. Green Bu’s sources say that Purple and Green are currently in development for the aluminum-framed iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Plus, but Apple will likely pick just one of them for the final lineup this fall. And Purple is in the lead. As the lea

The golden Trump Phone is almost certainly not made in the US

Not content with a real estate empire and the presidency of the United States, the Trump family is wading into the phone wars like it's 2011 with a shiny gold monstrosity called the T1, the marketing of which leans extensively on the narrowest idea of patriotism. Beyond the immediate question — why do this, like, at all? — the T1 invites a question that's perhaps easier to interrogate: How can any modern smartphone claim to be made in the US?

Yet another Android brand is copying the iPhone’s Action button

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-04 10:10:48

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Apple replaced the mute switch with a customizable Action button on the iPhone 15 Pro models. OnePlus recently copied this move and replaced its iconic alert slider with a customizable button on the OnePlus 13s. Another Android brand could soon follow suit and add a customizable button on an upcoming phone. After including a silent switch on every iPhone model since the original, Apple dropped it in favor of a customizable button starting with the iPhone

Leaker doubles down on two key display changes for the iPhone 18 Pro

If you were hoping Apple’s iPhone 18 Pro models would shake up their physical screen sizes, you can extra-officially temper your expectations. But that doesn’t mean the 2026 lineup won’t bring significant shifts in how the front of the iPhone looks. Here’s what may be coming. A new leak from Digital Chat Station on Weibo today says the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max will stick with the same display sizes as the current iPhone 16 Pro series: roughly 6.3 inches and 6.9 inches, respectively.

HONOR claims that this will be the thinnest foldable phone in the world.

iPhone 16E Specs vs. Google Pixel 8A: How Apple and Google's Lower-Cost Phones Match Up

Google's A-series Pixel handsets are typically budget-friendly, but currently the cheapest Google goes is $499 for the Pixel 9A. If you do want all of Google's flagship features and are comfortable with getting a used or refurbished device, you could check out last year's Pixel 8A which is going for under $300 in the secondary market. Strangely, Google is currently selling the Pixel 8A for the same price as the Pixel 9A, so it doesn't make sense to buy a new version of the Pixel 8A. A sub-$300
