The iPhone 17 Pro, uncharacteristically, leaked in the wild after taking a stroll around Union Square, San Francisco. The phone has a design-protective case, but we can still make out the repositioned LED and LiDAR in the top corner, falling in line with rumors.
We also saw iPhone 17 dummies, showing the new color palette. The orange is particularly striking. Expect the iPhone 17 series to be announced in early September, possibly on the 12th.
The 17 Pro and Pro Max will be available in a bold new orange hue.
You can get a better look this time around.
We also saw the design of the upcoming Galaxy S26 Ultra, thanks to leaked renders. The phone will be flat, slightly wider, and taller than its predecessor, and is expected to be slightly lighter. The rear cameras are no longer just isolated lenses on the rear panel – there’s a small, Galaxy Z Fold7-esque island housing three of the four cameras.
Samsung also confirmed that the Galaxy S25 FE will launch earlier than its predecessor. Samsung hasn’t said when, but the S24 FE was unveiled in September and launched in October, which gives us a rough timeframe.
Samsung’s next-gen Ultra flagship will be thinner and lighter while featuring updated cameras and faster wired charging.
Most of its specs have already been leaked.
It’s a rebranded Redmi Note 14 with a lower starting price and a new Crimson Art color option.
The Redmi Note 15 Pro+ will be the first Redmi device to have satellite connectivity when it launches in China.
Meanwhile, the Poco X8 Pro may have been certified already. It will be a rebranded version of the China-exclusive Redmi Turbo 5. If all of this pans out, then the Poco X8 Pro should be powered by MediaTek’s Dimensity 8500 SoC, and boast a 6.67-inch OLED screen with “1.5K” resolution. A metal frame and an overall thin and light build will also be in.
It’s interesting that the K series didn’t get a go at it before.
It’s unclear if this means it’s launching early or not.
The phone is expected to become official next month.
It will slot right in between the 8s and 8 Elite.
