Apple and other companies could be exempted from Trump's tariffs

Trump's newly announced tariffs are about to hit many US companies really hard, and Apple is potentially one of the most affected.

And let's be honest, who is going to be affected the most if not Apple? WSJ did the...

Gurman: Apple is preparing a major iPhone redesign in 2027

The original iPhone launched in June of 2007, which means we’ll be celebrating its 20th birthday in 2027, and Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman suggests Apple is eyeing a major redesign of its most important device. Apple will reportedly launch its first foldable iPhone in 2027, alongside a new iPhone 19 Pro model that “makes more extensive use of glass”.

This could mean a wrap-around screen like on the Xiaomi Mix Alpha or something else...
