Thanks to 91Mobiles, we’re gaining more insight into the upcoming Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Recently released official-looking product renders offer our best glimpse into the phone’s design.

The recently leaked images by tipster Steve Hemmerstoffer (@OnLeaks) showcase the new foldable phone in Obsidian and Porcelain colors. The phone appears to have a wider aspect ratio than the original Google Pixel Fold, which this new phone is anticipated to replace. In addition, we expect the Pixel 9 Pro Fold will feature a taller cover screen and a larger inner folding screen than its predecessor.

As we previously noted, Google has already revealed the name of its new foldable phone and released a teaser video showcasing it. The YouTube video is titled “Introducing the Google Pixel 9 Pro Fold” and begins with a display of Google Gemini, implying that Gemini will be a significant feature of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold. Like an earlier Pixel 9 Pro teaser, the video displays a message on a fully opened device that reads “Oh hi, AI,” followed by the name of the Pixel 9 Pro Fold and a reminder about its upcoming launch.

Once again, as previously reported, internal photos reveal that the inner selfie camera on the Pixel 9 Pro Fold is now positioned in the top-right corner of the device, unlike the previous model where it was slightly off-center. The camera bar has been replaced with a rectangular module housing two pill-shaped camera lenses. Additional new details about the Pixel 9 Pro Fold include a slightly thinner bezel at the top and bottom of the inner display and a potential reduction in the visibility of the crease.

The Pixel 9 Fold Pro launch is scheduled for Tuesday, August 13. On that day, Google will unveil the regular Pixel 9, Pixel 9 Pro, Pixel 9 Fold Pro, and likely the next-generation Pixel Watch 3.

Until then, we can probably expect a lot more rumors.

Apple’s biggest new health feature skips older Apple Watches
Readiness is one of the headline additions to Apple’s new health system, but Apple currently limits it to its newest models
Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4 announcement featured

Apple’s new Readiness score is one of the standout health features arriving with the Apple Watch Series 12 and Apple Watch Ultra 4. Owners of older models aren’t getting the same upgrade.

Readiness is part of Apple’s new Health Sensing System, which takes heart-rate and heart rate variability measurements more frequently. That hardware dependency puts the feature outside the usual watchOS update cycle and gives the newest Apple Watches something older models currently can’t replicate.

Of course, Apple Watch Series 12 in Ceramic is pricier at the repair desk
Apple’s $899 ceramic Watch can cost $599 to repair
Wristwatch, Arm, Body Part

It was great seeing the ceramic Apple Watch return this year. But the enthusiasm of owning one would probably disappear quickly after dropping one. Apple’s new ceramic Apple Watch Series 12 costs $599 to repair for “other damage” without AppleCare+, according to MacRumors, citing Apple’s current service estimates. That category essentially covers damage outside of a battery replacement, which is priced separately at $99.

This is a substantial repair bill for a watch that already starts at $899 in Pearl White or Night Blue. Apple’s standard aluminum Series 12 starts at $399, while titanium starts at $699.
