Apple Watch 2026 Bets on Battery Life Over Touch ID, Leaker Claims

A Chinese leaker claims the next Apple Watch models won’t add Touch ID, instead prioritizing larger batteries and advanced health sensors. Unlocking is expected to remain tied to the paired iPhone, and adding a fingerprint sensor would incur extra cost and take space away from battery capacity. Earlier hints of Touch ID were found in old code, but a major design update isn’t anticipated until 2028, with glucose monitoring potentially on the horizon.

Nine upgrades to help the iPhone 18 Pro stand out

A Tom’s Guide opinion piece argues the iPhone 18 Pro must adopt nine upgrades to differentiate itself from rivals: a larger camera sensor, an under‑display camera (and possibly True/Face ID implications), improved zoom, silicon‑carbon batteries for higher energy density, faster charging, stronger durability (potential IP69 rating and better materials), a variable aperture lens, an under‑display Touch ID, and AI enhancements for photography. The piece notes these changes face space and design trade‑offs as Apple aims to outshine foldables while boosting camera performance.

Apple’s Passport-Style iPhone Fold Pushes Foldable Era Forward

Rumored iPhone Fold would be a passport-style foldable with a 7.8-inch inner display and a 5.5-inch outer screen, skipping MagSafe and the action button, relocating volume controls to the top and embedding Touch ID in the side power button; the device reportedly stays around 4.5 mm thick unfolded and aims for a pocketable yet tablet-like experience, but its reception will depend on how users feel about the MagSafe/Face ID trade-offs.

Apple's Foldable iPhone Ultra Reintroduces Touch ID and Relocates Buttons to the Top

Leak images of Apple’s foldable iPhone Ultra and iPhone 18 Pro suggest the Ultra reintroduces Touch ID via a right-side power button, with volume controls moved to the top to suit a tablet-like foldable form factor. The iPhone 18 Pro appears largely unchanged from the 17 Pro. The design aims to address foldable ergonomics, but the top-button layout could create new challenges for one-handed use when the device is folded.

Apple Watch Ultra 4 Teases Slimmer Form, Touch ID and Extended Battery

Rumors say the Apple Watch Ultra 4 will be thinner and lighter with improved battery life, potentially via a larger battery and smarter power management using a new T8320 processor. It may also add Touch ID and up to eight health sensors (including blood pressure and hydration) with features like stress detection, aiming for a September 2026 release to sharpen Apple’s edge in the sports-watch market.

Apple's Foldable iPhone Could Bring iPad-style Multitasking, Without iPad Apps or Face ID

Bloomberg's Mark Gurman reports Apple’s foldable iPhone will offer an iPad-like multitasking interface with a larger inner display (roughly iPad Mini-sized) and a small outer screen; it reportedly won’t run existing iPad apps, but Apple plans to add a left-side app sidebar and let developers tailor iPhone apps to feel more iPad-like. To fit the thinner front, Face ID could be replaced by side-button Touch ID, with a hole-punch camera instead of a notch, while Dynamic Island remains; the device would have two rear cameras and cost around $2,000.

Apple debuts budget MacBook Neo powered by iPhone chip

Apple unveiled the MacBook Neo, an entry-level laptop starting at $599 that runs the A18 Pro chip from its iPhone lineup. It features a 13-inch display, 8GB of RAM, and 256GB or 512GB of storage, plus two USB-C ports, a Magic Keyboard, and a 1080p camera with new side-firing speakers. Tradeoffs include non-upgradable RAM, the 512GB model including Touch ID while the 256GB model does not, no Thunderbolt or MagSafe, and a included 20W charger with no fast charging. Apple’s pricing sits below older M-series models, widening the gap with the higher-end M5 MacBook Air at $1,099.
