Apple has lost an appeal in Germany on how much it dominates the smartphone market, and is now staring down antitrust penalties in the country on top of everything else it faces in the European Union.
As such, Apple is now subject to penalties in accordance with anti-competition law in Germany. On Tuesday, judges from the Federal Court of Justice issued a ruling after a one-month deliberation, declaring that Apple should be applied additional controls to encourage competition in the German market.
Yesterday, analyst Jeff Pu said Apple’s first two foldable devices will enter mass production in the second half of 2026. Today, he provided some additional details about these devices, which are expected to launch in 2026 or 2027.
In a research note with investment firm GF Securities, Pu said the two devices will include a foldable iPhone with a 7.8-inch inner display, along with a larger foldable device with an 18.8-inch display. He described the larger foldable as a MacBook-iPad hybrid, and he believes that the device will likely run macOS, rather than iPadOS.
Jeff Pu has shared a report repeating several rumors, including Ming-Chi Kuo’s earlier report suggesting all iPhone 17 models would get Apple’s custom Wi-Fi chips.
Apple debuted the C1 modem with the iPhone 16e in February 2025. Rumors suggest the C1 will be limited to Apple’s iPhone 17 Slim, but a new Wi-Fi chip that supports Wi-Fi 7 will be used in all new models.
The shift to in-house chips has been rumored by Ming-Chi Kuo since at least October 2024, but he’s been more confident about it in more recent reports. According to a research note seen by MacRumors, analyst Jeff Pu has now repeated that rumor.
Det här med prestanda har varit ett hett, och ibland kärt ämne att diskutera. det handlar om minne, kärnor och jag vet inte allt – som egentligen vanliga användare inte alls behöver känna till.
