 With every new iPhone launch, Apple fans are faced with the same question: upgrade now or wait? If you’re on the fence about buying any of the recent iPhones, like the iPhone 15 or iPhone 16, you might want to hold out until Apple launches the iPhone 17 series later this month. Based on early reports and reliable leaks, the iPhone 17 line could bring some notable changes and upgrades in years. Read on to find out what to expect from the upcoming series. |  Xiaomi has just unveiled a new addition to its smart home ecosystem.

 Samsung’s 2025 foldable lineup, announced at its Unpacked event on July 9, includes a new budget model: the Galaxy Z Flip7 FE. But instead of excitement, one of Samsung’s trade-in offers has left many scratching their heads — and it’s actually a downgrade disguised as a deal. The controversy centers around Samsung’s trade-in offer for Galaxy Z Flip6 owners. Through the deal, they can trade in their one-year-old Flip6 and get a $500 credit toward the Flip7 FE, effectively bringing its price down. |  If you’ve been holding out for a flip phone revival that actually delivers on performance, cameras, and battery life, 2025 might just be the year to dive in. This new generation of foldables has come a long way from their fragile, gimmicky beginnings.

Here’s a deep look at the best flip foldables you can buy right now. |
