Apple Faces $5.7B Haptics Verdict; Burford Capital Sees $1.4B Gain

A US federal jury in San Diego has ordered Apple to pay $5.7 billion in damages to Taction Technology for infringing two patents related to haptic feedback systems. The verdict, delivered on September 25, 2026, concerns Apple’s Taptic Engine used in iPhones and Apple Watches. Litigation funder Burford Capital, which backed the case, reported a 9% share price jump and expects to recover up to $1.4 billion, though it warned that Apple’s appeal could reduce or eliminate this return. Apple has vowed to appeal, stating its technology is fundamentally different from Taction’s.

Bezel-free iPhone 20th Anniversary May Use Curved Glass and Haptic Buttons

Rumors say Apple’s 20th‑anniversary iPhone will replace mechanical buttons with solid‑state haptic controls embedded along the curved edges, tested for gloves, wet hands, extreme temperatures, and even when the device is off thanks to a low‑power microprocessor. The display is expected to curve around all four edges for a bezel‑free look, with additional rumored features for 2027 (under‑display Face ID, under‑display camera, dual‑layer OLED, and more) and an anticipated fall 2027 launch, per leaker Instant Digital.

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike Brings Magnetic, Customizable 'Fake Click' to Esports Mice

Logitech G Pro X2 Superstrike Brings Magnetic, Customizable 'Fake Click' to Esports Mice

Logitech’s G Pro X2 Superstrike introduces a magnetic, tunable haptic ‘click’ and a Rapid Trigger for ultra-fast inputs, all controlled via G Hub. Weighing about 61g, it supports 100–44,000 DPI and up to 8,000Hz wireless polling, with a claimed 90-hour battery life and a $180 price. While the hardware offers a new level of customization and potential edge in twitchy shooters, the reviewer notes tacky aesthetics and less-than-ideal ergonomics, and stresses that skill still matters—this mouse doesn’t make you a pro, but it could shift how we think about clicking in gaming.

Logitech MX Master 4 blends repairability with responsive haptics for productivity

Logitech MX Master 4 blends repairability with responsive haptics for productivity

Logitech’s MX Master 4 is a premium productivity mouse with a refined, right‑handed ergonomic shape, a near-silent click, the best-in-class MagSpeed scroll wheel, and a new haptic “actions ring” for app-specific shortcuts via the Logi Options+ software. It supports Bluetooth or Logi Bolt for up to three devices, lasts about 70 days on USB‑C charging, and is designed to be repairable with exposed screws and a replaceable battery. The haptic features show promise but depend on plugins and can tax system resources, and the £119.99 price puts it in luxury territory. Still, for long work sessions it’s hard to beat as the best productivity mouse.
