Apple has a new iPhone update in the wings, and it’s about to make its entrance. Although there had been plentiful reports that an interim update was on its way, it’s now near-certain that the next iPhone software release will be iOS 26.1. Here’s why that’s a good thing.

Apple Inc. predicted a jump in sales over the holiday season after releasing new iPhones, helping to assure investors that its flagship product remains a growth engine.

How Trump and Xi are reacting: “It was an amazing meeting,” the US president told reporters aboard Air Force One as he flew back to Washington on Thursday. “On a scale of 0-10, with 10 being the best, the meeting was a 12.” Trump said he will visit China in April and that Xi would make a reciprocal visit to the US.

More than a week ago, the news was clear: the next iPhone update (the content of which remains a mystery) would be iOS 26.0.2 and would land in the week beginning Oct. 20. But it’s nowhere to be seen. What’s happening, you might ask.

Apple this week made iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max parts available to order through its self-service repair store

If the iPhone Fold is going to ship in 2026, there needs to be orders for parts for it now. A new rumor claims that Apple is beyond just making orders, and is actively stockpiling parts for manufacture.

As the holidays approach, staying connected to loved ones and documenting your shared memories is a priority. There’s no better way to come prepared for a season of fun, food and festivities than with a free iPhone 17 Pro,

Apple reported September-quarter earnings after Thursday's closing bell. The company came up short in its iPhone business but said it's been struggling to meet all of its demand. The holiday-quarter outlook impressed.

Right now, T-Mobile is offering the iPhone 17 Pro for free via 24 monthly bill credits when you trade in any eligible device, in any condition, and sign up to the Experience Beyond or Go5G Next plan. This equates to a $1,100 discount, and it can even be applied against iPhone models down to the 14.

Apple is still working overtime to keep up with iPhone 17 demand, but shipping estimates show that the company is starting to catch up.

Apple came up short in its iPhone business, sending its stock lower despite a slight revenue beat for the broader company. Revenue from the iPhone unit came in at $49.0 billion, whereas analysts were looking for $50.
