- Multiple outlets expect a September unveiling alongside iPhone 18 Pro models, with 9News pointing to factory-made mock-ups used by case makers.
- ZDNET, citing Mark Gurman, reports Apple will use an iPad-like iOS when opened so users can run two apps at once with sidebars for core apps.
- 9to5Mac notes Huawei’s Pura X Max 5G and Oppo’s Find N6 now mirror the same wide form, previewing the look and near-crease screens Apple is targeting.
- Forbes argues Apple may trail on battery life at launch because Chinese brands are fitting higher-density silicon‑carbon cells that store more energy in the same space.
