Apple to announce first foldable iPhone next week
Apple is expected to unveil its first foldable iPhone at next week's event. Most sources call it the iPhone Ultra, though the name isn’t confirmed—Apple could still go with 'Duo' or something else. The device will have a 5.5-inch outer screen and a 7.6-inch inner one, matching Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8. It supports MagSafe charging and will rely on Touch ID, not Face ID, because of its thinner design.
Google Pixel 11 launches, raises base model price
Google’s Pixel 11 phone is out, starting at $899 in the US—a bump of $80 over last year. It ships with 256GB storage, a faster Tensor G6 chip, a 6.3-inch OLED screen, and an upgraded battery that can last over two days in light use. One catch: the regular Pixel 11 drops some camera features found on the pricier Pro series, and lacks support for full-resolution photo modes available in far cheaper phones.
Philips Hue releases TV camera to sync lights with any content
Philips Hue just launched the Hue Play Screen Sync camera for $119.99. You place it above your TV, and it uses a fisheye lens to match your room’s smart lights to whatever’s on screen—including streaming apps and live broadcasts, not just movies running through an HDMI cable. There’s also a slimmer Hue Play HDMI Sync Box 4K for $149.99, but it has just one HDMI input. Both start shipping today.
