While we don’t yet know the new iPhones Apple will be dropping this fall — though there are iPhone 17 rumors — we do know, per Apple’s site, that the phones listed below will be compatible with iOS 26 …

Apple usually sends out invites in late August, but history and habit suggest this year’s iPhone event will fall on September 9.

Apple clinched a major win Monday after the U.S. government announced that the U.K. had agreed to drop its demand for the company to provide a “back door” granting officials access to users’ encrypted data. The iPhone maker won’t be alone to rejoice in the outcome.

Apple is shifting more iPhone production to India ahead of next month’s iPhone 17 launch, Bloomberg reports. The company will build all four iPhone 17 models there, and for the first time US-bound shipments for the entire lineup will come from India at launch.

One recent leak points to Apple holding the iPhone 17 event on Sept. 9. German site iPhone-Ticker claims that it gained access to internal documents from a local carrier, and even though the sourcing cannot be confirmed, that release date lines up with existing rumors and expert opinion.

Apple has steadily expanded its presence in India after moving much of its US-bound iPhone production out of China. The move is aimed at reducing the impact of tariffs and trade disruptions, the report added.

There’s one limitation, though. Android and PC users can’t start a FaceTime call on their own. They’ll need an Apple user to create the link and invite them before they can join in. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to initiate FaceTime calls to Android users if you’re an iPhone user, and how to receive FaceTime calls if you use an Android phone.

A new leak suggests that the material that is used in the next Pro iPhones will be a significant departure from recent years.

Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, iPhone 17 Air, along with new Apple Watches, just a few weeks from now.

Foxconn, the Taiwanese electronics major, has begun production of iPhone 17 at its Bengaluru facility, Economic Times reported, citing sources aware of the development. The unit is the company’s second-largest plant globally outside China and has started operations on a limited scale, according to the ET report.

Back in 2014, Apple and Samsung were fierce competitors in the U.S. smartphone market. Samsung had gained traction with its large-screen devices, prompting iPhone loyalists to demand something similar.

The standard iPhone 17 could see some welcome display upgrades. At least one supply chain source claimed it will add a 120Hz variable refresh rate (ProMotion) display, which the Pro series has used since 2021.

Apple reportedly won’t launch a base iPhone 18 next year until 2026 as part of a major foldable-inspired overhaul of its release strategy.

Is Apple considering the unthinkable? A new report claims that the base model of iPhone 18 won’t be released next fall.

The tech giant is fast approaching its annual iPhone announcement event, which should take place in early September, if previous years are any precedent. Apple hasn’t officially announced the date and time for the event, or even acknowledged its existence, but we all know it’s going to happen.
