The iPhone 16 has been out for six months now. With an updated processor, a revamped design, and camera improvements, should you buy it now or wait a little longer for the iPhone 17? Here's what the recent rumors tell us about this upcoming release. The iPhone 17 might be more like an iPhone 16S Apple is expected to offer its biggest redesign to date with the iPhone 17 lineup, except for the base model. While the Pro versions and the rumored Air model will get a new camera bar design, the iPhone 17 is expected to have the same look as the iPhone 16. If you want a new design, upgrade to the iPhone 16 or pay a little more for the upcoming Pro models. Regarding the processor, Apple is expected to add the A19 chip, an improvement over the current A18. Still, it doesn't seem like the chip will be much faster than the current version. The same 8GB of RAM is also rumored to be available on the iPhone 17. A close-up of the iPhone 17 Air's camera bar. Image source: YouTube Since performance won't be much different, the main changes might be related to the cameras. Apple will likely update the main sensor of the iPhone 17, but the most important improvement will be in the selfie lens, which will go from 12MP to 24MP. This improvement will allow users to take better selfies, which, honestly, is the most important camera for most people. Besides, rumors don't suggest we'll see any significant battery improvements, faster charging speeds, or exciting new color options on the iPhone 17. Verdict: iPhone 16 or iPhone 17? Unless you're planning to go Pro this year, the iPhone 16 feels like the best bet compared to the current rumors floating around the iPhone 17. If you do want to latest model, it might be worth waiting a bit longer to get the base iPhone 16 on sale. The iPhone 17 might only be worth it if you want a better selfie camera. Otherwise, the iPhone 16 will feel as snappy and capable in a year as it does today.

There's seemingly always a new online scam to worry about. This time, LayerX Labs discovered that a phishing campaign that had been targeting Windows users for several months has now been remade for Mac computers. The ultimate goal of this phishing campaign was to steal user credentials by deceiving people into thinking that these scam notifications were, in fact, Microsoft security alerts. After deceiving several Windows users, Microsoft, Chrome, Firefox, and other companies eventually rolled out security updates to prevent these attacks from happening. Now, the hackers have shifted their focus to Mac users. LayerX Labs says these hackers wait for people to misspell website names to try to steal their credentials. Once they misspell a website, the page quickly redirects them through multiple sites before landing on the phishing attack page. The phishing attack in question featured three critical modifications to the website: The page layout is now different to appear legitimate to Mac users. There are code adjustments to target macOS and Safari users by "leveraging HTTP OS and user agent parameters." They maintain the illusion of legitimacy by continuing to use Windows[.]net infrastructure. LayerX Labs says this is one of the most sophisticated phishing campaigns on the Mac to date. "While phishing campaigns targeting Mac users have existed before, they have rarely reached this level of sophistication," they wrote. "Based on the longevity, complexity, and sophistication displayed by the actors behind this attack campaign thus far, we suspect that this is just a first response by them, as they adapt their attacks to new defenses." The researchers believe this is only the first wave of this kind of phishing campaign against Mac users. In the coming weeks and months, we might see a "resurgent wave of attacks based on this infrastructure as it probes and tests for weak spots in Micrtosoft's new defenses." To keep yourself safe, always make sure to double-check site addresses, and don't share your credentials without being certain that you're on the correct page.

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei said in early January that Claude would get a few upgrades to put it on par with OpenAI's ChatGPT. He mentioned advanced reasoning support and internet search abilities were in the works for Claude, but didn't commit to rollout schedules for either feature. Anthropic released Claude 3.7 Sonnet a few weeks ago, which offered the reasoning features Amodei teased, including an extended thinking mode feature. However, search was not part of the deal, which isn't ideal. After using ChatGPT with online search support for so long, I can't imagine going back to genAI experiences that do not involve the ability to look up new information on the internet. Thankfully, Anthropic added online search support to Claude 3.7 Sonnet, which should further enhance its responses. The feature is limited, as you might expect. You'll need access to a paid subscription to get it, and you also have to be in the US. Continue reading...

The first foldable iPhone is coming next year, barring some sort of really unfortunate event. After years of covering countless iPhone rumors, I'm comfortable saying that. We've reached a point in the rumor phase that precedes the launch of a big iPhone release where we see an increasing number of leaks from sources all saying the same thing. Apple is preparing to launch the first foldable iPhone next year. The company has reportedly settled on the Fold-type design we've already seen from Samsung, Honor, Google, Oppo (OnePlus), and others. Rumors also say that Apple will deliver an almost crease-less foldable display, a design detail that's been a priority for the iPhone maker. Reports have also mentioned the purported screen sizes for the foldable iPhone, saying the handset will feature a 7.75-inch foldable screen and a 5.49-inch external screen. You don't need schematics or dummy units to realize those measurements make no sense at first glance. They make no sense if you think Apple's iPhone Fold will look like the Galaxy Z Fold. That's what I thought, and I employed ChatGPT to give me the dimensions of an iPhone foldable featuring those two screen sizes. The conclusion was obvious: Apple would work with a different aspect ratio. The iPhone Fold would not be as tall as the Galaxy Z Fold. When open, it would look more like a tablet than a Fold-type device. Reports that followed also said the iPhone Fold will have a different aspect ratio. Fast-forward to mid-March, and we have a brand new foldable phone launch on our hands. It's a phone you'll probably not be able to buy, and you might not even want to get it if it were launched in the States. It's the Huawei Pura X in the image above. But what's amazing about this foldable is that it gives us a visual idea of what the foldable iPhone will look like. Continue reading...

There are two new leaks regarding the upcoming iPhone Fold, the Galaxy Z Fold-like device Apple is expected to unveil in late 2026 or early 2027. One of them comes from the news aggregator account yeux1122. According to them, Apple is working to improve the display DDI part to make the panel thinner. Still, yeux1122 says that even though Apple wants to make the iPhone Fold as thin as possible, the company will also make sure to add the best battery available to its device, as it's working on power-efficiency-related features. We can also assume that some of these functions could include a new C1 chip, Apple's 5G modem, and the company's own Wi-Fi chip, which is expected to be available with this year's iPhone 17 lineup. With these new processors, Apple will likely improve battery life, as It will have better control over both hardware and software. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo also brings the latest leak on the iPhone Fold. According to his industry research, Apple will use liquid metal in the hinges of this upcoming device. He writes: "Apple is focused on improving durability, enhancing screen flatness, and minimizing crease marks in its foldable iPhone design. To achieve these goals, key components like the hinges will be crafted from liquid metal using a die-casting process." https://twitter.com/mingchikuo/status/1902942517861159377 The analyst says Apple has used liquid metal for small components, such as SIM ejector pins, for years. Still, the iPhone Fold will mark the first significant use of the material in a critical mechanical part. Interestingly, Android manufacturers are rumored to start using this technology to improve durability and minimize the crease of the display. According to the rumors and leaks, Apple wants to deliver an ultra-thin iPhone Fold with great battery life and a creaseless foldable display. If the company can achieve that, it might show the competitors that even though it took a long time to enter the foldable market, it has waited enough to outperform every competitor.
