Apple iPhone 18 Pro and Ultra: Anticipated Dates Point to Early September

MacRumors says Apple is likely to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone called the iPhone Ultra in September. Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman expects the event on or around September 9, with pre-orders possibly beginning mid‑September (around Sept. 11–18) to avoid Labor Day or the 9/11 anniversary. The regular iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e aren’t expected until 2027 under a new launch strategy, while the Ultra may launch in the US first. As with recent years, event videos are typically pre‑recorded, with in‑person demos for select reporters.

GTA VI Premium Edition Tops Pre-Orders, CEO Confirms

Take-Two CEO Strauss Zelnick said in a CNBC interview that GTA VI pre-orders are stronger for the $100 Ultimate Edition than the $80 standard version, with pre-order revenue already estimated to exceed $260 million; the premium edition’s extras are cosmetic, and discounts post-launch are likely limited as Take-Two keeps pricing stable, a point of contention given GTA VI is a single-player title.

Fold 8's Hype-Fueled Surge Sparks iPhone Ultra Debate

Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 8 is selling faster than its predecessor, with pre-orders three times higher, fueled by hype and a debate over whether Apple’s iPhone Ultra prompted the focus. A reader poll shows most view the Fold 8 as either a preemptive strike against the Ultra or a design upgrade, while reviewers praise its light design and battery life but flag camera/software gaps. In short, the Fold 8's early success seems driven by market timing and perception of competition as much as spec sheets.

Foldable frenzy: Samsung’s Galaxy Z lineup shatters pre-order records

Samsung reports the Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and Z Fold 8 Ultra are breaking pre-order records in the US (pre-orders up about 30% from the previous generation, with the Fold 8 making up roughly half of orders). Global demand is strong as well (Korea saw 1.44 million pre-orders in seven days; Europe is also high), aided by high price points ($1,899.99–$2,099.99). The trend suggests foldables could be moving into the mainstream, even as Apple readies a competing device.

Collectors Push Back as New Vinyls Arrive With Missing Final Mixes

Fans and collectors balk at pricey new vinyl releases from Charli XCX, Olivia Rodrigo, The Weeknd, Beyoncé, and Raye that ship with unfinished tracks or altered final mixes, a consequence of longer vinyl production timelines; some artists acknowledge the issues and suggest clearer pre-order notes or later complete editions, underscoring the tension between physical-press realities and digital perfection.
