Apple might opt for a curved glass design for 20th anniversary iPhone

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-11-05 15:18:39

In Brief Apple made a big splash in 2017 by introducing an all-screen iPhone with a notch and no physical home button for the 10th anniversary of the iPhone. The company is now preparing to introduce another major overhaul for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary, featuring a new curved glass design, according to a Bloomberg report. The iPhone 20, set to be launched in 2027, will have curved glass edges all around, likely to suit the new “Liquid Glass” design philosophy of iOS, according to Bloomberg

Elon Musk, CEO of SpaceX and Tesla, attends the Viva Technology conference at the Porte de Versailles exhibition center in Paris on June 16, 2023. "In a desperate bid to protect its smartphone monopoly, Apple has joined forces with the company that most benefits from inhibiting competition and innovation in AI: OpenAI, a monopolist in the market for generative AI chatbots," according to the complaint, which was filed in U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas.

Elon Musk’s xAI sues Apple and OpenAI over Siri partnership, App Store charts

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-11-05 22:27:13

Elon Musk has surprisingly made good on one of his promises. Earlier this month, Musk accused Apple of rigging the App Store rankings and threatened to sue the company for this “unequivocal antitrust violation.” “Apple is behaving in a manner that makes it impossible for any AI company besides OpenAI to reach #1 in the App Store,” Musk posted at the time. In a Texas court on Monday, Musk’s xAI officially filed a lawsuit against Apple and OpenAI, accusing the two companies of colluding to preve

Report Reveals Major Details About Apple’s Foldable iPhone

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-11-05 22:00:31

Apple is looking for its next cash cow. But Tim Cook won’t need to look far because, according to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the company is working on reinventing the iPhone with not one, not two, but three models. The first of the three iPhones will come next month at Apple’s annual fall launch event. The long-rumored “iPhone 17 Air” will reportedly be Apple’s thinnest phone ever—even skinnier than the iPhone 6, which sparked “bendgate” back in 2014. The 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone

They were refreshed last year with USB-C connectivity, some new color options and USB-C audio in April of this year.

Rumor: Apple testing iPhone 4-like case for iPhone 17 Air

Apple is expected to launch a new flavor of its Smart Battery Case alongside the ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air next month. As it turns out, that’s not the only forgotten iPhone case the company has up its sleeve. Mark Gurman reports that Apple has “at least considered/tested” a case for the iPhone 17 Air that “surrounds the edges but doesn’t cover the back.” If that sounds familiar, it’s because Apple offered a Bumper case exactly like that for the iPhone 4 in 2010.

You likely shouldn’t hold your breath for a new pair of AirPods Max: report
