Morgan Stanley says Apple stock could be ‘turning the corner’ on strong iPhone demand

Despite a recent 15% bump, following positive Q3 2025 results and a stunt that brought it tariff relief, Apple’s stock is still 5% in the red for the year. But in a recently published investor note, Morgan Stanley says it believes momentum will keep shifting. In the note (via CNBC), analyst Erik Woodring said that “the Apple story could be turning the corner.” This comes after the bank’s China team recently raised its iPhone build forecast for the September quarter by 8%, which in turn came aft

Report: 2026 Apple Watch lineup will bring three notable changes

DigiTimes Asia is out today with a new report saying Apple Watch sales in the first half of 2025 came in about 10% above expectations. Still, the more interesting part of the report touches on what to expect from a very promising 2026 lineup. Here are the details. Strong 2025 momentum heading into Series 11 launch According to the report, sales look promising for the third quarter peak season, which comes after a challenging, but successful, last few months: “Despite challenges from tariffs a

Apple’s Wallet app just made Amazon returns easy, and more is coming

A recent Amazon rollout brought support for adding Amazon return codes to Apple’s Wallet app—and another Amazon-Wallet improvement is coming soon in iOS 26. Amazon return codes can now be saved in Apple Wallet One of Amazon’s greatest strengths has long been the convenience of making and receiving purchases. Running low on something? With the Amazon app on iPhone, you can order more in a few quick taps and get fast delivery. The company has gradually made the experience of returning purchases

iPhone 17 release is rumored for September: Here's what to know ahead of Apple's fall event

The Apple iPhone event is right around the corner, which means the huge tech company will finally reveal its iPhone 17 lineup. The latest iOS 26 features will come preinstalled on the new models, as well as any additional features Apple reveals at the launch event. But since we still have to wait a few weeks (presumably) until the iPhone event, we can at least speculate what the new phones will look like. As with most unreleased iPhone models, rumors and leaks have trickled in about the hardware

iOS 26 public beta 2 is now available to download: Everything to know about Apple's iPhone updates

At the iPhone event expected next month (here's what to expect), Apple will finally announce when we can download iOS 26 on our iPhones. Until then, you can download and install the newly released public beta 2 (or iOS 26 developer beta 6 for developers). I've been playing around with it for the past couple of weeks, and have found that taking screenshots is way better in the new operating system — Google and ChatGPT search options are now in the screenshots editor, for instance.

Best Apple Watch (2025): Buyer’s Guide to the Series 10 and SE

If you have an iPhone, the Apple Watch is the best wearable to go with it. But what's the best Apple Watch to buy? Just a little while ago, this question was more complicated. In 2024, a court ruling dictated that Apple could no longer sell the latest watches—the Series 9, the Watch Ultra 2, and the Series 10—with a blood oxygen sensor. The medical technology company Masimo alleged that Apple had infringed on its patent. However, in August 2025, Apple redesigned the sensor via a software update,

Apple Watch Series 11: Three new features coming next month

A new wave of Apple Watch models is launching soon. Apple Watch Ultra 3 will rightfully get a lot of attention, but there’s a new Apple Watch Series 11 coming too—here are the rumored new features. #1: Upgraded S11 SiP Where the iPhone uses A-class chips like A18, and Macs and iPads often use M-class like M4, the Apple Watch has an S-class SiP (“System in Package”). Last year, Apple Watch Series 10 debuted a new S10 SiP. While Apple doesn’t always have new SiPs ready annually, recent leaks in

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway offloads more AAPL shares

Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has again scaled back its stake in Apple. In a regulatory filing this week, Berkshire disclosed that it sold 20 million shares of Apple during the June quarter. Nonetheless, Apple remains the conglomerate’s largest holding at 280 million shares, valued at over $64 billion. Berkshire began buying Apple stock in 2016. At its peak in 2023, Berkshire Hathaway owned over 915 million shares of Apple, accounting for over 50% of the firm’s holdings. Buffett has trimm

Apple Already Has the Ideal AI Gadget (It Just Needs One More Thing)

Apple is reportedly testing several ways to revamp the Siri voice assistant — and one feature could change how often iPhone owners need to look at a screen. Earlier this week, a Bloomberg report highlighted how Apple is testing Siri features that add voice controls to non-Apple apps, including Amazon, Instagram and Uber. The idea is that with just your voice, you might be able to add an item to your shopping cart. Or maybe you could take, edit and post a photo to Instagram — all in a chat with

The Morning After: Insta360’s first drone is unlike anything else

The Insta360 Antigravity A1 is a new 360-degree FPV drone from a spin-off brand called Antigravity. The A1 includes a drone, OLED Vision goggles and a Grip motion controller — it’s more of a set. The drone has two ultrawide cameras that can capture 8K video, and it uses stitching algorithms to make the drone invisible in the final footage. When I tested out the preproduction model in Germany, the flying experience is different but surprisingly intuitive, even for new pilots, and the goggles str

Thank You Apple for Fixing the Camera Navigation in the Latest iOS 26 Beta

Apple released the third public beta of iOS 26 on Aug. 14. It brought new features, including Liquid Glass design and call screening, to developers' and beta testers' iPhones. Thankfully, it also reverted the way you switch between photo modes in your Camera app. With Apple's redesign of the Camera app in the iOS 26 beta, the company had initially inverted the way you navigate between camera modes. So, after years of swiping in one direction to get to a photo mode, imagine my surprise when I sw

Here's How to Access Apple's Visual Intelligence on an iPhone 15 Pro

Apple will release iOS 26 this fall and that update will bring a new Liquid Glass design, the ability to screen incoming calls and more to your iPhone.

Apple TV+ among ‘final contenders’ for MLB Sunday Night Baseball, playoff games

iOS 18.6.1 now available, here’s what’s new

Apple Watch blood oxygen workaround arrives just in time

With the release of watchOS 11.6.1 and companion iOS 18.6.1, Apple managed to restore blood oxygen readings for U.S. owners of Apple Watch Series 9, Series 10, and Ultra 2. The method is slightly less convenient, as it shifts processing data and displaying results to the iPhone, but it restores a capability that had been entirely removed since late 2023. The timing works in Apple’s favor. That’s because Apple Watch Series 8, Ultra 1, and earlier owners who are on the fence about upgrading to S
