iPhone 17e Leak: Apple's Budget Bombshell

Apple’s budget game plan is getting clearer. New leaks reveal that the iPhone 17e is slated for a Spring 2026 launch, as Apple continues building out its "e-series" lineup to keep iPhones accessible—and keep its market share strong.
​
​OLED Comes to Budget Models: The iPhone 17e is expected to reuse the 6.1-inch OLED display first seen on the iPhone 14, offering sharp visuals and modern tech without the flagship price tag.
​
​Production Kept in Check: Apple may limit production to around 20 million units to prevent the budget model from eating into sales of its higher-end iPhones—a balancing act to protect premium margins.
​
​A Strategic Move for Growth: Experts believe the e-series helps Apple maintain annual iPhone shipments of around 220–230 million units and expand its user base, which could be vital for future AI-powered features and services.

iPhone 17 Air Leak Reveals Stunning Sky Blue Color

Apple might be adding a fresh pop of color to its ultra-thin iPhone 17 Air. New leaks suggest the device could debut in a gorgeous Sky Blue finish—a shade lighter than any blue seen on previous iPhones and reminiscent of the new M4 MacBook Air.
​
​A True "Air" Vibe: The rumored Sky Blue color is so pale it can appear almost white in certain light, perfectly matching the minimal and lightweight design ethos of the Air lineup.
​
​Design and Specs Hints: The iPhone 17 Air is expected to replace the Plus model, featuring a 6.6-inch 120Hz OLED display, a single 48MP camera, and what could be the thinnest iPhone body ever.
​
​Credible Sources: While leaker Fixed Focus Digital has a mixed record, both they and tipster Majin Bu agree that Sky Blue is the frontrunner. Other shades like dark purple and green were tested but might not make the cut.

iOS 26 Beta 3: Everything You'll Notice

Apple’s iOS 26 beta 3 is here, and while it skips headline-grabbing new features, it fine-tunes the experience in ways that make your iPhone feel smoother, clearer, and more refined.
​
​What’s New in Beta 3:​
​
​Liquid Glass, Evolved: Apple listened to feedback and reduced excessive transparency in navigation bars and notifications. Apps like Apple Music and Safari now balance style with readability, offering clearer buttons and less visual clutter.
​
​New Wallpaper Vibes: Four fresh color options—Sky, Halo, Shadow, and Dusk—bring new life to your Lock and Home screens, adapting beautifully in Dark Mode for a sleek day-to-night look.
​
​Polished Details Everywhere: Small fixes go a long way—like centered Dock icons for better symmetry, brighter Control Center toggles for quick visibility, and crisper app icons like Photos and Files that pop more on any background.
​
​Smarter Maps, Even Offline: Apple Maps now alerts you about fog even when offline and delivers improved commute delay updates, ensuring safer, smoother journeys wherever you go.
​
​Safari’s Subtle Refresh: Safari folders get a tidy makeover to better match the Liquid Glass aesthetic, giving the browsing experience a more modern, polished vibe.

Next Apple Pencil May Let You Draw in Thin Air!

Apple might be ready to change how we sketch, write, and design—all without a screen. A newly granted patent reveals Apple is working on an Apple Pencil that can draw in mid-air or on virtually any surface. Imagine scribbling ideas in the air or doodling on a table, with strokes captured digitally.
​
​Draw in the Air or on Any Surface: The next-gen Apple Pencil could sense motion, orientation, and 3D positioning—allowing you to sketch in mid-air up to 4 inches above a surface, or draw directly on materials like paper, fabric, or wood, without relying on a touchscreen.
​
​Smart Optical Tracking Systems: Apple’s design uses advanced optical flow sensors and laser speckle flow sensors to precisely track how the Pencil moves in space. This means even subtle movements while hovering in the air could be captured with pinpoint accuracy for digital rendering.
​
​Packed with High-Tech Features: The patent describes a stylus with a unique trackball tip to glide smoothly across surfaces without scratching, plus built-in sensors for tilt detection, pressure sensitivity, and possibly AI-powered machine vision for recognizing gestures or handwriting.
​
From creating 3D art in augmented reality to controlling apps with a wave of your hand, Apple’s air-drawing Pencil could open the door to entirely new ways of working and creating—especially as the company dives deeper into spatial computing with devices like Vision Pro.

Apple’s New Genius: An AI on Duty

Apple is quietly working on a new AI-powered Support Assistant for its app, aiming to solve tech issues faster than ever. Early details suggest this tool might transform how users get help — blending AI convenience with human backup.
​
​AI Handles Troubleshooting: Instead of waiting for a live agent, users will type questions into a chat where the AI can walk them through solutions for everything from software bugs to hardware quirks, using Apple’s internal knowledge base.
​
​Smarter Diagnostics with File Uploads: The new assistant may allow users to upload screenshots, photos of error messages, or PDFs, helping the AI analyze specific problems and tailor solutions on the spot.
​
​Human Experts Still Available: Apple is transparent that AI might occasionally get things wrong. If the AI’s help falls short, users can easily escalate to human support advisors for personalized assistance.
​
Apple’s move shows how the future of tech support could mix fast AI help with human expertise — and it might arrive sooner than you think.

iPhone Gets WhatsApp Threads and AI Flair

WhatsApp is stepping up its game on iPhone with two exciting new features: threaded replies for group chats and AI-generated wallpapers.
​
​Threaded Replies Simplify Group Chats: Tired of messy group conversations? WhatsApp is testing threaded replies on iOS, allowing users to tap a reply count under any message and see a focused thread of all responses. It’s a much clearer way to follow discussions, just like on Slack or iMessage.
​
​AI Wallpapers Bring Creative Customization: Personalize your chats like never before! WhatsApp’s new feature lets iPhone users generate unique wallpapers using Meta AI. Type prompts like “tropical sunset” or “space galaxy,” and instantly create stylish, one-of-a-kind backgrounds for individual chats or your entire app.
​
​A Smarter, Stylish WhatsApp Experience: Both features are still in testing, but they promise to transform how iPhone users chat and express themselves on WhatsApp, making conversations clearer and visuals more fun.
