Apple introduces the iPhone Pocket — a 3D-knitted bag designed for iPhones

Apple has teamed up with Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE to launch something a little unexpected: a 3D-knitted iPhone Pocket designed to be worn, styled, and stretched like a piece of clothing. It’s a fabric pouch for your phone, yet it arrives with the kind of presentation usually reserved for limited-edition fashion collabs — and with pricing that reminds you this is very much an Apple product.

The iPhone Pocket is built from a single 3D-knitted textile, inspired by ISSEY MIYAKE’s “A Piece of Cloth” philosophy. The open, ribbed structure expands to fit an iPhone, AirPods, or whatever small items you’d normally stuff in actual pockets. You can see the screen through the weave, and it can be carried in the hand, clipped to a bag, or even worn against the body.

Apple and MIYAKE are offering two versions:

  • Short strap in eight colors: lemon, mandarin, purple, pink, peacock, sapphire, cinnamon, black
  • Long strap in three colors: sapphire, cinnamon, black

Everything is designed in Japan with input from Apple’s Design Studio, and the palette is tuned to pair with every iPhone model.

While the collaboration does lean into the artistry, the pricing reminds you this is still luxury fashion. The short-strap version starts at $149.95, and the long-strap jumps to $229.95 — which makes this one of the most expensive pieces of fabric ever listed on the internet. For some, the appeal will be in the craftsmanship and the design heritage. For others, it’s hard not to see it as an example of how far brand value can push the price of a product.

The iPhone Pocket arrives as a limited release on November 14 across select Apple Stores and apple.com in France, Greater China, Italy, Japan, Singapore, South Korea, the UK, and the U.S. Flagship stores like Apple Ginza, Apple Jing’an, and Apple Regent Street will showcase the colors and styling options in person.

Next OnePlus Flagship Could Debut a Super Smooth 240Hz Display

OnePlus flagships took a sharp turn away from their original vision with the OnePlus 15. Gone is the flagship killer that focused on offering a premium experience; OnePlus is now a brand that focuses on offering top tier performance at an approachable price tag. The OnePlus 15 debuted with a bunch of downgrades over its predecessor, despite being faster. And now, a new rumor suggests that this is just the first step in OnePlus’ future goals.

OnePlus Working on a Smartphone with an Ultra-Fast 240Hz Display

To recall, the OnePlus 15 was announced with the smoothest display of any OnePlus phone yet. It features a 165Hz refresh rate, but it sacrifices resolution to achieve this. While the OnePlus 13 came with a 2K resolution, its successor had a lower 1.5K panel. The display getting a downgrade wasn’t just to save on cost, but rather, technical limitations. So with the main focus of making its premium devices feel smoother and faster, it’s no surprise that the next step is something even greater.

Rumored OnePlus Phone with 240Hz Display

According to a tweet from the OnePlus Club, the Chinese brand is planning on making its smartphones go all in on the performance focused side. Reportedly, OnePlus will eventually unveil a device with a 240Hz dynamic refresh rate. This is twice the current standard for most devices, even premium models. Although, this isn’t a first for the industry. OnePlus is apparently looking to strike a balance between resolution and refresh rate, but there are still no specifics for this future model.

240Hz refresh rate seems like overkill for a smartphone, considering how few apps take advantage of the 120Hz or 144Hz screens. OnePlus Club states that this model will arrive sometime in the coming years, so we can expect phones to get powerful enough to utilize the super smooth display in the future. A high refresh rate would also increase battery drain, so it remains to be seen how the company balances this.

Samsung Galaxy S26 series might finally get an overdue charging update

The Galaxy S26 series might not get as big a camera upgrade, but the company might bring the long-overdue update to its charging department. According to a new leak, the company is finally giving its wireless charging tech a boost to 25W. 

A report shared by tipster @Jukanlosreve, originally published by ET News, claims that Samsung will introduce faster wireless charging speeds across all three models of the Galaxy S26 lineup. After sticking to 15W wireless charging for nearly six years, the new phones are said to step up to 20W and 25W, depending on the model.

Specifically, the leak suggests that the Galaxy S26 and S26 Plus will offer 20W wireless charging, while the flagship S26 Ultra will go up to 25W. 

That’s not really something Samsung should be proud of, as Chinese brands offer support for 50W or higher. But it’s still a meaningful jump from 15W, which has been standard since Galaxy S20. 

Galaxy S25 Ultra

The improvement is expected to cut charging times by about 40% compared to the older 15W speeds, which should make wireless charging much more practical for daily use.

In addition to faster charging, the leak also hints that screen sizes and overall dimensions for all three Galaxy S26 models have been finalized. While Jukanlosreve‘s report doesn’t say it, tipster Ice Universe filled in those details.

The standard Galaxy S26 is said to feature a 6.3-inch screen and a 149.4 x 71.5 x 6.9 mm body. The Plus will retain the 6.7-inch screen and form factor of 158.4 x 75.8 x 7.3 mm. Whereas, the top-end S26 Ultra will feature a 6.9-inch panel and measure 163.6 x 78.1 x 7.8 mm. 

Meanwhile, the Galaxy S26 Ultra is now expected to run exclusively on Qualcomm’s latest Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chip.

Samsung Galaxy S26+ appears in leaked CAD renders

The forthcoming Samsung Galaxy S26+ has surfaced online in a new set of CAD-based renders, as reported by AndroidHeadlines and @OnLeaks. The fresh images give an early look at Samsung’s upcoming Plus model, which was once rumored to be replaced by the Galaxy S26 Edge. However, recent information now indicates that the S26+ will indeed be part of the Galaxy S26 lineup, expected to arrive early next year.

The new renders show the Galaxy S26+ with a refined flat design, measuring 158.4 x 75.7 x 7.35mm. This makes it nearly identical in size to the Galaxy S25+, with only minor variations in width and thickness.

The phone is said to retain a 6.7-inch AMOLED screen featuring FHD+ resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate. On the rear, Samsung has adopted an elongated, oval-shaped camera module inspired by the Galaxy Z Fold 7, housing three sensors in a vertical alignment. The LED flash sits outside the module, enhancing the minimalistic appearance.

Notably, the renders showcase the device in a striking orange finish, suggesting Samsung might introduce more vibrant colour options this time.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Plus specifications (rumored)

According to reports, the Galaxy S26+ may feature either the Exynos 2600 or the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset, depending on the market. The device is expected to come with 12GB RAM and a 4,900mAh battery supporting 45W wired and wireless charging.

On the camera front, it could include a 50-megapixel primary sensor, a 12-megapixel ultra-wide lens, and a 12-megapixel telephoto camera, along with a 12-megapixel front shooter. The phone is expected to run on One UI 8.5 based on Android 16.

Recent leaks suggest that Samsung might unveil the Galaxy S26 series at its Unpacked event in February 2026, followed by a global release shortly after.

Xiaomi Buds 6 Arriving Soon: Brand’s Premium TWS Certified in UAE

Xiaomi might be working on a new high end truly wireless earbuds. The Xiaomi Buds 6 just surfaced on a fresh certification that suggests that its global release is right around the corner. The new earbuds are expected to serve as the brand’s premium TWS offering, so here’s what we know so far.

Xiaomi Buds 6 Certified in UAE, Hinting at Imminent Global Launch

The Chinese tech giant’s upcoming Xiaomi Buds 6 TWS was just spotted getting certified on the TDRA certification. It was spotted on the database carrying the M2540E1 model number. While the listing does not reveal finer details like its specifications, features, design, or pricing and release details, it does confirm that it is a wireless hearables that pairs via Bluetooth connection and that the earbuds will likely debut soon.

Xiaomi Buds 5

As the name suggests, the Xiaomi Buds 6 is a successor to the Xiaomi Buds 5 series. To recall, the Xiaomi Buds 5 debuted globally back in September 2024, while the Xiaomi Buds 5 Pro launched in February 2025. So we can expect high end specs and features like ANC (Active Noise Cancellation), Spatial Audio support, aptX lossless codecs, and much more. To recall, the base Buds 5 had a semi in-ear design, while the Pro model came with silicon eartips for better passive noise isolation.

Both TWS earbuds also came with a stem design, so Xiaomi will likely offer a similar design once again on the Xiaomi Buds 6. Other notable features on the older models include Dolby Atmos (when paired with a Xiaomi phone), AI powered ENC for clearer calls, tuning from Harman, and an IP54 rating for water and dust resistance. Keep in mind that most details are still at large, so stick around for more.

ZTE Blade V80 Vita looks strikingly similar to iPhone 17 Pro in leaked render

ZTE’s next budget phone might look strangely familiar. Newly leaked renders of the Blade V80 Vita suggest the company has taken some clear inspiration from Apple’s iPhone 17 Pro models.

The render comes from Evan Blass (@evleaks), and the resemblance is hard to miss. The Blade V80 Vita uses a full-width camera island with three cameras and an LED flash pushed to the far-right side, almost exactly where Apple is placing the component on the 17 Pro Max. Since this is already plenty of camera hardware for a budget phone, a circular Neo branding occupies the spot where the LiDAR scanner sits on the latest Pro iPhones.

The frame sticks to a familiar flat-edged look, but ZTE adds its own touches: a red power button, a dedicated custom key on the left, and that very un-Apple 3.5 mm port next to the USB-C slot. It’s a mix of trendy and practical — something you don’t see often, even in the affordable Android space.

iPhone 17 Pro (left), ZTE Blade V80 Vita (right)

Of course, the edges are completely flat — unlike the slightly rounded sides on the iPhones — but that’s possible thanks to the aluminum unibody design of Apple’s flagships.

Specs haven’t surfaced yet, but the Blade line has always aimed at the budget crowd. The Blade V70 Design shipped with modest hardware, so it’s safe to expect the V80 Vita to follow suit: an entry-level chipset, a reasonable battery, and pricing that keeps expectations in check. This isn’t a flagship; it’s a style play.

Still, it’s interesting to see which design cues are trickling down into affordable phones. The iPhone 17 Pro’s wide camera bar is shaping up to be one of the more recognizable silhouettes of 2025, and ZTE seems eager to get ahead of the trend.

If nothing else, the Blade V80 Vita offers premium looks without the premium price — plus a convenience Apple no longer offers.

How is Huawei Mate 70 Air different from iPhone Air and Galaxy S25 Edge?

Every major smartphone brand seems to be chasing thinness again. After years of packing phones with giant batteries and bigger camera bumps, 2025 has brought a new wave of slim devices.

Huawei’s entry into this space, the Mate 70 Air, is perhaps the most interesting of all. The company didn’t pursue extreme thinness at the expense of key features. Instead, it chose to make the device slim—yes—but still retain the essentials you’d expect from a premium 2025 phone.

Huawei Mate 70 Air vs iPhone Air vs Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge

Apple and Samsung, however, seem to be taking the opposite approach. There are noticeable compromises made in pursuit of slimmer designs. Here’s how the three phones compare, and how the Huawei Mate 70 Air differs from the iPhone Air and Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge.

1. Size and design

The Mate 70 Air is noticeably larger than both of its rivals. It measures 165 × 81.5 × 6.6 mm and weighs 208 g. While Huawei is chasing the ultra-light smartphone trend, it’s also being thoughtful about the features we’d expect from a 2025 phone. More on that later.

The iPhone Air leans the opposite way. It’s all about being thin. At just 5.6 mm thick and 165 g, it’s the slimmest and lightest of the three. 

The Galaxy S25 Edge sits in the middle. It measures 158.2 x 75.6 x 5.8 mm and weighs 163 g. It’s almost as thin as the iPhone Air but packs a slightly larger footprint. 

All three phones are well built. Huawei doesn’t mention exotic materials but does bring IP68/IP69 durability, which allows survival against high-pressure water streams. Apple also offers IP68, though with deeper submersion ratings (up to 6 m). Samsung matches Huawei with IP68, but only up to 1.5 m. Huawei is the most rugged on paper.

2. Displays

The differences continue in the screen department.

Huawei makes the Mate 70 Air feel almost tablet-adjacent with a 7.0-inch LTPO OLED panel. It refreshes at 120Hz, peaks at 4000 nits, and is protected by Kunlun Glass. 

Apple keeps it calmer with a 6.5-inch LTPO Super Retina XDR OLED display. It’s sharp at 1260 × 2736, and it offers features like HDR10, Dolby Vision, and a 120Hz refresh rate. Peak brightness reaches 3000 nits, making it excellent outdoors, though it dims slightly versus Huawei in numbers.

Samsung pushes clarity harder. The Galaxy S25 Edge screen is 6.7 inches, running at 1440 × 3120 for the highest pixel density of the three. It’s also LTPO and 120Hz with HDR10+ support.

All are great screens, but Huawei’s size stands out the most.

3. Software and ecosystem

The Mate 70 Air runs HarmonyOS 5.1. That’s an entirely different world from iOS and Android. It offers a familiar layout, but app availability and restrictions vary depending on your region. The phone also has satellite messaging support. 

The iPhone Air doesn’t surprise. It ships with iOS 26, and Apple promises long-term support, clean UI, and tight hardware-software integration. It works seamlessly with other Apple products.

Samsung goes with Android 15, One UI 7, and promises 7 major OS upgrades. That’s longer than most Android phones typically receive and helps it match Apple’s longevity promise.

If you’re already inside a particular ecosystem, none of these phones gives you a reason to switch. Huawei’s software feels the most different; Apple’s is the most familiar; Samsung’s is the most flexible.

4. Performance

This is where the biggest differences emerge.

Huawei uses its 7nm Kirin 9020 chips (9020A or 9020B). Performance should be fine for everyday tasks, but they can’t match the raw compute power of Apple’s 3nm A19 Pro or Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite in Samsung’s phone.

Apple’s A19 Pro sits near the top of mobile performance, especially in power efficiency. Samsung’s Snapdragon 8 Elite pushes high clock speeds and serious GPU strength, especially for gaming and editing.

So if you care about graphics or future-proof performance:
• Apple and Samsung are the clear leaders
• Huawei focuses more on efficiency and battery life

All three months offer similar memory configurations.

5. Cameras

Camera hardware is another area where these phones diverge.

Huawei puts three lenses on the back:
• 50MP main with OIS
• 12MP telephoto with 3× zoom
• 8MP ultrawide

It’s a balanced setup, with dedicated optical zoom and laser autofocus. It also supports 4K video and HDR.

The iPhone Air sticks to a single 48MP main camera. Apple is banking on computational photography, not lens count. It will likely deliver good consistency, but there’s no dedicated telephoto lens here, so lossless zoom is limited.

Samsung offers a dual-camera setup:
• 200MP main
• 12MP ultrawide

The 200MP camera is the number that sells headlines, but the lack of a telephoto lens stands out. Samsung supports 4K and even 8K recording, which Huawei and Apple don’t match at the same frame rate.

It’s without a doubt that Huawei has better cameras overall with a dedicated lens for ultrawide and telephoto. This is where the company’s decision to avoid aggressively chasing the ultra-slim trend becomes clear. You’re getting an almost flagship-level camera setup.

6. Selfies

Moreover, Huawei’s selfie camera is a modest 10.7MP unit with 4K support.

Apple goes bigger with 18MP plus a 3D depth system (SL 3D), which makes Face ID possible and can improve portrait accuracy. It also records Dolby Vision HDR.

Samsung stays simple at 12MP, but with PDAF for sharper focusing.

7. Battery and charging

This is one category that Huawei dominates. Because of its bigger size, the Mate 70 Air has a massive 6500mAh battery. Charging goes up to 66W wired.

Comparatively:
• iPhone Air: 3149mAh, wired fast charge and MagSafe
• Samsung S25 Edge: 3900mAh, 25W wired

This might be the biggest practical difference. Huawei claims all-day endurance, while Apple and Samsung feel almost midrange on battery capacity, though software optimization may help them compete.

But if you want raw capacity, there’s no competition.

8. Extras

Two small notes:

• Huawei supports a stylus, something neither competitor offers here.
• Samsung includes DeX desktop mode, which lets you use the phone like a computer.
• Apple has satellite emergency features globally; Huawei’s satellite messaging is China-only.

These might not sway buyers, but they define the phones’ different priorities.

9. Final thoughts

The Huawei Mate 70 Air, iPhone Air, and Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge sit in a similar price tier, but they don’t do the same job. 

Huawei prioritizes big screens, long battery life, and triple cameras. Apple keeps things minimal, polished, and thin, leaning on software and ecosystem comfort. Samsung takes the middle road with a sharp display, high performance, and future-proof Android support.

So if you’re trying to choose between size, battery, and a versatile camera in a slim form, go with Huawei. The iPhone Air is best for you if you’re already in the Apple ecosystem and need an absolutely slim smartphone. 

Samsung is the most versatile of the three with Android baked in, flagship performance, and dual cameras.

Moto X70 Ultra / Edge 70 Ultra with Snapdragon 8 Gen 5 appears on Geekbench

Motorola is reportedly working on an X-series flagship phone for China. While the official moniker of the device is not known, it could be called the Moto X70 Ultra in the Chinese market. This phone may get rebranded as the Motorola Edge 70 Ultra globally. The said device meant for the Chinese market has surfaced on Geekbench, revealing key details about its internals.

Moto X70 Ultra Geekbench listing

As per the Geekbench listing, an upcoming Motorola phone with model number XT2603-1 has emerged in Geekbench’s database. The listing reveals that it is powered by a Qualcomm chip that comprises six cores operating at 3.32GHz and two performance cores clocked at 3.65GHz. For graphics, it is equipped with the Adreno 829 GPU.

There is a possibility that the above chipset could be the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 5. However, readers should note that the above specs are a bit different from a recent leak that claimed that its two cores operate at 3.65GHz and that it has the Adreno 840 GPU for graphics.

A recent report claimed that Motorola is gearing up to launch the X70 Ultra (China) / Edge 70 Ultra (global) equipped with the said chipset. The above device with the XT2603-1 model number — here, the number “1” denotes the Chinese variant — may carry the Moto X70 Ultra branding in China.

The Geekbench listing further reveals that the Moto X70 Ultra has 16GB of RAM and Android 16. It has scored 2,634 in the single-core test and 7,475 points in the multi-core test.

The Moto X70 Ultra / Edge 70 Ultra is expected to feature an OLED panel that supports a 1.5K resolution. Its rear camera setup is expected to feature a periscope telephoto camera. The rest of its specifications are under wraps.

Considering that the Moto X70 Ultra has already appeared on Geekbench and is possibly being tested internally for performance, its arrival may not be far away. Likely, it may debut before the end of this year in China. Its global sibling, the Edge 70 Ultra, may debut in the first half of 2026 globally.

Motorola did not release the Moto X60 Ultra / Edge 60 Ultra. Therefore, the X70 Ultra / Edge 70 Ultra will be the successors to last year’s X50 Ultra / Edge 50 Ultra.

Samsung introduces LPDDR6 RAM: faster, more efficient, more secure — and likely headed to future flagships

Samsung has quietly kicked off the 2026 hardware season with its new LPDDR6 RAM, and it’s already picked up a “2026 Innovation Award Honoree” badge.

The chip is built on Samsung Foundry’s 12 nm process and reaches speeds of up to 10.7 Gbps. On paper, that matches the peak throughput of today’s fastest LPDDR5X modules, but LPDDR6 isn’t all about raw speed. Samsung increased the I/O count, which boosts overall bandwidth, and added a new dynamic power management system that reportedly cuts power draw by roughly 21% compared to LPDDR5X. In short: similar top-end performance, noticeably better efficiency.

Samsung is also talking up improvements on the security side, with extra protections designed to keep data safe during on-device AI processing — something phones and laptops are relying on more each year.

And that’s really the point here. High-end mobile devices are turning into edge computing machines, running larger models locally instead of depending on the cloud. LPDDR6 could support that shift with faster loading for AI models, and more reliable multitasking under heavy workloads.

The efficiency gains are especially important. A 21% drop in power usage means phones can handle longer, more demanding AI sessions without killing the battery as quickly.

LPDDR6 isn’t the flashiest announcement, but it’s a foundational one. It sets the stage for the next generation of mobile performance.

It’s unclear whether upcoming Ultra flagships already on the horizon — such as Oppo’s Find X9 Ultra, Xiaomi’s 17 Ultra, Vivo’s X300 Ultra, or Samsung’s own S26 Ultra — are being tested with this new LPDDR6 technology. But some of their successors will likely adopt the faster RAM to help differentiate themselves and push the user experience even further.
