    The best Apple deals of 2024: iPhones, Apple Watches, iPads, and more

  • Apple reportedly pushes back launch of the foldable iPhone

    Apple’s first foray into foldables is widely believed to be a large device – a 7-8 inch tablet in the iPad family and, later on, an even larger 20.25” gadget that will likely be sold under the Mac name. The smaller of the two is expected in 2026/2027, while the larger foldable might be targeting a 2028 launch. And there is a foldable iPhone in the works, of course.
