In a first, Apple software will influence the way a new line of electric vehicles made by Ford Motor operates, and other automakers may follow.

The rumors haven't left much to the imagination, but Samsung has unfurled its 2026 foldable lineup today. There are three models for the first time in Samsung's eight-gen foldable family, including the top-of-the-line Z Fold 8 Ultra. That phone is the successor to last year's Galaxy Z Fold 7, but the Z Fold 8 is new—the company's first wide-body foldable designed for media over multitasking. And then there's a new, thinner flip phone, plus a pair of smartwatches.

You can preorder Samsung's new hardware today, but the component shortage has made these already spendy product lines more expensive this year. Even the Z Flip 8 is now well over a grand, and the Ultra costs almost twice as much.

The Z Fold 8 Ultra has the same basic form factor as the last few Samsung tablet-style foldables. A 6.5-inch OLED on the outside is about the same ratio as a standard smartphone screen. Open it up, and you get an 8-inch display that's roughly twice as wide. That makes the main display close to square.

Apple is doubling down on its ultra-thin iPhone experiment. According to The Information, the upcoming iPhone Air 2 will feature a vapor chamber cooling system — a significant upgrade that first appeared in the iPhone 17 Pro series. The report also confirms that Apple is proceeding with the second-generation model despite softer-than-expected sales of the original iPhone Air.

The first-generation iPhone Air, released as part of Apple’s 2026 lineup, stood out for its remarkably slim profile — one of the thinnest iPhones ever made. However, it came with notable trade-offs: a single rear camera and relatively modest battery capacity (around 3,149mAh).

Key Upgrades Rumored for iPhone Air 2

Multiple credible sources, including The Information and Bloomberg News, point to several meaningful improvements:

• Dual rear cameras: The biggest change is the addition of a second camera. The iPhone Air 2 is expected to feature a 48MP main wide lens paired with a new ultrawide lens. This brings the camera setup in line with Apple’s base iPhone models and directly addresses one of the most common criticisms of the first-generation Air.

• Vapor chamber cooling system: The Information specifically reports that the Air 2 will incorporate a vapor chamber for better heat dissipation. This technology allows the phone to sustain higher performance levels for longer periods without thermal throttling — a welcome addition in such a thin chassis.

• Larger battery: Leaks suggest the battery will grow to approximately 3,500mAh or more (an increase of roughly 11% or greater). Combined with the efficiency gains from the next-generation chip, this should deliver noticeably better endurance than the original Air.

• A20 Pro chip on 2nm process: The device is expected to be powered by Apple’s A20 Pro chipset, fabricated on a 2nm process node. This should bring meaningful gains in both performance and power efficiency. Some reports also mention advanced integration techniques (such as Wafer-Level Multi-Chip Module) for further optimizations.

Design and Display

The iPhone Air 2 is expected to retain the signature ultra-thin form factor of its predecessor, with possible minor refinements. No major redesign is anticipated. It will likely feature a similar 6.55-inch LTPO OLED display with 120Hz ProMotion refresh rate.

Release Timeline and Positioning

Current expectations point to a spring 2027 launch for the iPhone Air 2, alongside the base iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e models. This would be a departure from Apple’s traditional September iPhone event timing for the “Air” line.

Some reports also suggest Apple may lower the price of the Air 2 compared to the first generation in an effort to boost adoption.

MacDailyNews Take: The iPhone Air line is Apple at its most audacious — a premium “thin-and-light” flagship that dares to prioritize sleek portability and elegant design above all else, even if it means sacrificing some camera versatility and outright battery capacity in the process. The first-generation model successfully proved the concept and wowed those who value form factor above all, but it also laid bare the inevitable trade-offs that come with pushing the envelope that far.

The iPhone Air 2 looks to be Apple’s smart evolution: giving customers the most-requested upgrades — a second rear camera, improved thermals via vapor chamber cooling, and a meaningfully larger battery, all while retaining the ultra-thin identity that defines the Air. It’s classic Apple: listen to real-world feedback, iterate intelligently, and refuse to bloat the design just to check arbitrary spec boxes.

Will these enhancements be enough to push the Air into the mainstream hit column? Time will tell, but the signals are clear: Apple isn’t walking away from its thin-phone vision. Instead, the company is committed to refining it, learning from the first generation, and delivering a more complete package in 2027.

As always the case with pre-launch rumors and supply chain whispers, final specs can shift before the iPhone Air 2 hits store shelves next spring. We’ll be watching closely as development continues. Apple’s willingness to iterate boldly on ambitious new product categories is exactly why the company continues to lead in smartphones, the product it invented and revealed way back in 2007.

OnePlus arrived on the scene in 2014 with brash marketing and a compelling pitch: What if your phone was cheaper and faster? More than a decade later, the market is much different, and so is OnePlus. Confirming months of rumors and speculation, OnePlus has confirmed it's ending phone releases in North America and Europe.

This development has been expected for a while. After a brief period of expansion in the US through deals with T-Mobile and Verizon, OnePlus began visibly shifting its focus to India after the pandemic. OnePlus has also increasingly come under the control of its parent company, Oppo, aligning its device releases and software experience with the larger brand. Still, OnePlus has continued to launch flagship devices in the US and Europe, with the OnePlus 15 going on sale in late 2025. That will be the last OnePlus phone many people see, though.

OnePlus denied rumors of a shutdown earlier this year, but its language was vague and never promised future phone releases. The new statement is also worded gingerly, but the outcome is clear. "As part of the proactive global strategy adjustment, OnePlus has decided to conclude new product rollouts in Europe and North America," the official post reads.
