The Google Pixel 9 series is just shy of a year old and we still prefer the base Pixel 9 phone over a ton of iPhones and Samsung favorites. It’s a new, hot, and trendy phone in its peak era, but tech moves rapidly and we’re already learning about the Google Pixel 10 series. That means that initial offers on Pixel 9 series phones are going to disappear soon. Google’s Pixel deals now have a countdown, reading “5 days left” as I write this (tap the button below to check for yourself, but it should be around 3 days left when most readers get the article). With these deals you can save $100s on your new phone if you sign up with a Google phone plan.

iPhone 18 Pro is lined up for a price hike, but it’s not as steep as you might fear
A smaller sting for Apple’s next Pro iPhones

Apple’s next Pro iPhones are probably going to cost more. Price hikes aren't uncommon even in annual releases, but with rising component costs and the RAM crisis, the damage was expected to be a lot more. Though a new report suggests otherwise.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max are expected to receive $100 price increases over their current equivalents. So the approximate prices could now start at $1,199 and $1,299, respectively. The report arrives just hours before Apple’s September 9 launch event, so the official numbers are nearly here. It is still a price hike, of course. But after months of warnings that Apple could add $200 or even $300 to its flagship prices, $100 is beginning to look like the less painful outcome.

Foldable iPhone Duo could support Apple Pencil input, after all
Apple Pencil could become a surprisingly useful companion for Apple’s foldable iPhone.
Light, Electronics, Phone

In a few hours from now, Apple will introduce its most ambitious product in a decade. We're talking about the foldable iPhone, which might end up hitting the shelves as the iPhone Duo. The most exciting part? It will support Apple Pencil, as per a report by Bloomberg. 

The support for a stylus input is no small matter. The whole idea behind making a foldable phone is to offer users a bigger canvas to consume content, and more importantly, do something that they otherwise can't handle on a cramped 6-inch screen of a phone.

iPhone Duo. Yes, that’s what Apple could end up naming its first foldable phone
Google Pixel 11 Pro Fold

Apple is merely a few hours away from revealing its first foldable smartphone. Ever since we first started hearing about it from rumors and insider reporting, there has been plenty of speculation about the name. Some said it's going to hit the shelves as "iPhone Fold." A few other isolated reports mentioned the "iPhone Ultra" moniker. But it seems Apple has something much simpler planned, and might end up launching it as iPhone Duo.

Remember Surface Duo, the doomed dual-screen phone by Microsoft? Well, what can I say. It's just bittersweet. Coming back to Apple, the latest prophecy comes courtesy of Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, who just posted on X that Apple has landed on the iPhone Duo name. It's not a bad name, and pretty much on point.
