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

techcrunch.com Ivan Mehta 2025-12-12 03:18:39

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

Android phone cameras are in for a crazy upgrade

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-12-12 08:09:30

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Chinese phone brands are exploring more ways to enhance their camera capabilities. One way could be to include detachable external cameras or lenses. Xiaomi and Vivo already have similar options in China, and we might see improvements and additions from other brands. The Chinese phone market is ultra-competitive, with brands promptly innovating to stay ahead in a tussle over unusual feats. Phone cameras have been of significant importance to these bran

Ryan Haines / Android Authority The year is 2015. You plug your Android phone in to charge, and a helpful little timer tells you how long it should take. You pop on an episode of Narcos. Life is good. Your friend with an iPhone? Yeah, they plug in their phone too, waiting to fill their tiny, well-optimized cell. The difference? They have no idea how long it’ll take.

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

9to5mac.com Chance Miller 2025-12-12 23:54:39

Screenshot 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.

The days of custom Android ROMs are numbered, and Google is to blame

Edgar Cervantes / Android Authority Android used to be synonymous with freedom. If you didn’t like your phone’s interface or bloatware, you could simply install a custom ROM — the colloquial term for a forked version of the Android operating system. But that golden era is quickly disappearing, as yet another major Android fork has run into troubles. CalyxOS, a major privacy-focused Android distribution, announced a sudden freeze on future releases earlier this month. While the project isn’t di

The new Pixel 10 is upon us, and, as usual, Google wants us all to upgrade. For many of us, trading in our current model for a discount on the newer version has become a yearly tradition.
