9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-05 18:23:00

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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2026-03-06 04:10:48

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

9to5mac.com Marcus Mendes 2026-03-05 04:32:10

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.

Why I recommend this power bank to most iPhone users - especially if you travel often

zdnet.com Adrian Kingsley-Hughes 2026-03-07 04:26:00

ZDNET's key takeaways The Nitecore NW5000 has an ultralight and ultrathin design that blends into the iPhone. It has a 5,000mAh capacity that's just enough to fully charge any iPhone model (and some more). You'll have to pay a premium for this accessory, but its build quality justifies it. $69.95 at Amazon I find that rather than complaining about the iPhone's poor battery life, I prefer to do something about it.

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
