Apple event
Did you see the huge news that Apple is officially having an event on September 9? The "Surprise and Shine" event will showcase the iPhone Ultra, iPhone 18 Pro Max, Apple Watch Series 12, and more.
After years of anticipation, we'll finally see Apple's first attempt at a foldable iPhone, and I couldn't be more excited. I love my iPhone 17 Pro Max, but I might just have to jump onto the Apple website and snag an iPhone Ultra when it becomes available.
As always, we'll bring you all the Apple event updates as they happen, so stay locked to Tom's Guide for all the latest information from the event.
More Galaxy S27 Ultra leaks show off that iPhone 17 Pro-style design
Noted leaker Ice Universe has just posted an image to X.com supposedly showing the design of Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra and S27 Pro smartphones. This isn't the first leak we've seen of the phones and seems to support the rumor Samsung is adopting an iPhone 17 Pro-style camera plateau.
The Galaxy S27 Pro, meanwhile, is rumored to be sharing most of its specs with the S27 Ultra, with the exception of the S Pen. It's still many months before these phones will see the light of day, but it certainly looks like Samsung is taking the S27 Ultra in a very different design direction from the hallmark vertical camera array.
AirPods 5 tipped for launch at Apple's September event
According to Mark Gurman over at Bloomberg, Apple is getting ready to launch the AirPods 5 at the iPhone 18 Pro event next month. Gurman says it will be a simple upgrade, consisting of two models: one with ANC and one without.
These are set to replace the current AirPods 4 and AirPods 4 with ANC, which were released in 2024. It's still not clear whether the rumored AirPods Ultra, which are allegedly equipped with AI-enabling cameras, are also going to be revealed at the event.
