Rumor: iPhone 19e may bring ProMotion display

It’s been less than a week since the iPhone 17e was announced, but we’re already getting our first batch of rumors for its successor’s successor. The iPhone 19e, which should launch in early 2028, is now rumored to bring a ProMotion display. That’s a variable refresh rate panel in Apple lingo, which would be a breakthrough for the budget “e” lineup, which has thus been limited to 60Hz panels.

Samsung starts buying Chinese display panels for its mid-range smartphones

According to a new report from Korea, Samsung is diversifying its display supply chain. This creates a funny situation where Samsung (Electronics) will stop buying screens from Samsung (Display) for some mid-range devices, instead opting to purchase from CSOT, owned by TCL. CSOT's panels are at least 20% cheaper than Samsung's, and the move is speculated to be aimed at offsetting rising memory costs by lowering other device costs in the mid-range. Samsung has allegedly ordered 15 million display panels from CSOT, which will be used in the upcoming Galaxy A57 as well as some unnamed...

Weekly poll results: the iPhone 17e looks too cheap to cost $600

In last week’s poll about the Apple iPhone 17e, some 30% of voters say that they are not looking to buy an iPhone. Another 30% say they are looking for a new iPhone but are aiming for a more premium model. The 17e does have its fans, but it is a niche device – let’s break it down. Only 10% of voters are ready to buy a 17e outright and around half of that would join them if they like what they see in reviews. Speaking of, we have a review unit at the office and already posted an unboxing video. There is plenty to dislike on the iPhone 17e – even though it’s the most basic model, it still...

vivo patents vertically rollable smartphone

Rollable smartphone concepts have come and gone in the past few years, but we've yet to see an actual product using a rollable display (there are, however, rollable-screen laptops already). While the rollable smartphone concepts we've seen thus far have all rolled the screen out of the side, vivo has patented something else entirely - a rollable screen that becomes longer, not wider. The vivo rollable device pictured in the patent application becomes taller as you roll out the screen, which is definitely interesting to see, yet we can't help but wonder what the actual use cases for...

MacBook Neo is surprisingly repairable

The brand-new MacBook Neo is projected to be a hit in terms of sales and could turn out to be one of Apple’s most important laptops in recent memory.

YouTuber Phone Repair Guru performed a teardown of the Neo, and the results are fascinating. Apple opted for an easily repairable design with key components like the battery, speakers, trackpad, USB ports and display held in place only with screws and connectors. Virtually...

A quarter of all new iPhones are now made in India

According to a new report from Bloomberg News, 25% of all new iPhones are now made in India. An estimated 55 million iPhones were manufactured in India last year, up from 36 million in 2024. India’s rise as a top iPhone manufacturing hub began back in 2017 with the iPhone SE, with the iPhone 6s joining it a year later. Back then, Apple’s primary goal was to evade India’s high import fees on goods manufactured in China, but Cupertino soon fell in the midst of the budding US-China trade war, which forced it to expand its iPhone manufacturing to more regions outside of China.

If Google repeats history, the Pixel 11 family will be getting official in August. And yet, we're already seeing a purported case outed for the upcoming Pixel 11 Pro XL.
