We’re just about two months away from when we expect Apple to debut its very first foldable iPhone, potentially dubbed the “iPhone Ultra.” One detail that remains to be seen for that foldable is the battery capacity, and a leaker known as “Digital Chat Station” posted the rated capacities of the battery cells.

While Apple is currently testing iOS 26.6 and iOS 27 and releasing new betas for them every other week, they have also started unsigning a few old iOS versions, impacting a few devices. Apple has stopped signing the latest versions of iOS 6, iOS 8, iOS 9, and iOS 10 for some devices, as noted in a post by Aaron Perris on X.

It probably shouldn’t come as a surprise that the current iPhone Air has had its shortcomings, particularly with the battery life and the camera system, but it’s no secret anymore that Apple is actively developing a second-generation model that would hopefully win back potential customers who were looking to get the iPhone Air.

For a while, it was rumored that the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro would adopt Apple’s next-generation C2 cellular modem, marking the first time a Pro iPhone model has used it. After all, Apple started developing its own in-house cellular models starting with the C1 on the iPhone 16e and later with the C1X on the iPhone 17e, the iPhone Air, and the iPad Air/Pro (Wi-Fi+Cellular) models.

We’re about two months away from when Apple will introduce the next-generation iPhone 18 Pro, and “Digital Chat Station” on Weibo now reports on the alleged battery capacities across both of the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models as revealed by the filings in China’s C3 database; this includes both variants in China and in the United States.

Apple has released the first episode for Season 3 of the popular Apple TV Show “Silo”, a year after filming for it was completed. The first season of the show debuted in May 2023, followed by the second season in November 2024, with the third season, which premiered on July 3rd, 2026. Apple TV will be releasing one new episode every Friday until September 4th for a total of ten episodes this season.

Last month at WWDC 2026, Apple announced notable new features for the Apple Watch with watchOS 27, including a single-tap gesture, Dynamic App Grid, Perimenopause and Menopause Tracking, new Workout Buddy insights, Better Accuracy for Distance in Indoor runs and walks with improved motion tracking, and Siri AI. While most of these features were available in the first two betas of watchOS 27, Siri AI still was not included.

At WWDC 2026 last month, Apple announced the next iteration of its software platforms: iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS Tahoe 27, watchOS 27, tvOS 27, and visionOS 27 to developers. These updates include improvements to Liquid Glass, a new Siri AI, new Screen Time options, and more. The highlight of the new software falls upon the new AI features, including new Photo Editing options, a more natural Siri, Agentic Password updating, improved Image Playground, Personal Context, and more.

Apple has started rolling out the fourth betas of iOS 26.6, iPadOS 26.6, macOS Tahoe 26.6, watchOS 26.6, tvOS 26.6, and visionOS 26.6 to developers. These updates come one week after the release of the third betas for these versions, and come along with the release of Beta 3 for version 27.0. With the release of the first beta, iOS 26.6 introduced a new alert or warning when a user tries to exceed the limit of blocked contacts.

In other news from Bloomberg, Apple is also planning to update both the 11-inch and 13-inch iPad Pro models in spring 2027. Since the iPad Pro was recently redesigned with the M4 chip and tandem OLED displays in May 2024, Bloomberg doesn’t expect a major redesign for the upcoming generation. It would rather be a spec bump instead. Now, the iPad Pro was last updated in October 2025, which currently features the M5 chip, the N1 wireless networking chip, and the C1X modem on cellular models.
