Then Snap Spectacles hope to be radically new, and there are rumors about the iPhone 18, iPhone Fold, and the iPhone Air 2 as well, all on the AppleInsider Podcast.

    You thought the Apple Vision Pro was expensive, but now you could have to choose between buying 180 of the headset, or one Ferrari Luce designed by Jony Ive.

    Apple has shown off the new Accessibility features coming in iOS 27, which did nothing to stem the torrent of rumors about what we'll see in Apple Intelligence, but possibly did steal a little bit of thunder from Google's peculiar mishmash of an I/O conference, on the AppleInsider Podcast.

    There was no sign of the improved Apple Intelligence in this week's launch of iOS 26.5, which must've been a relief to Google as it talked up its apparently new but seemingly very familiar AI features in Android.
