The official unveiling of the iPhone 17 range and the new Apple Watch models as well as potentially a few additional announcements are a few months old now, and the rumor cycle is in full swing for recent weeks.
IOS 26 is also good in its beta test cycle, Apple putting the final touch to things in the coming weeks to be able to install it on new iPhones before their shipment, so read below for all the details!
Brand new in iOS 26 beta 5
Apple continues to progress in the refinement of the iOS 26 and the major updates of the related operating system which should see their official versions in September, pushing the fifth developer Betas and second public Betas this week with new changes in store.
The new liquid glass design seems to firm up after several revisions in the previous beta, while Beta 5 introduces a new “rebound” for transitions in places such as the entry of the access code to the lock screen and the switching between the central control pages. There are other functional and visual adjustments for the camera, the mail, the airline, the wallet and more.
iOS 26 beta reveals the size of the Apple Watch Ultra 3 screen
It seems that the display on the Apple Watch Ultra 3 is just a larger index than on the ultra previous models, based on the imagery discovered by Macrumors In the latest beta version of iOS 26.
It is likely that the slight increase in the size of the screen will be hosted by narrowing the glasses around the display rather than increasing the size of the case, but we will have to see once the new generation Apple Watch is revealed. The first substantial upgrade of the model in two years is likely to come next month alongside the iPhone 17 range.
The iPhone 17 air battery allegedly 2.49 mm – half the thickness of 17 pro
During the weekend, photos surfaced what was originally allegedly alleged to be the metal battery for the next “iPhone 17 air” ultra-thin, although the original report was later corrected to note that the battery is for the iPhone 17 pro.
However, it did not take long for the photos of the real superfactive iPhone 17 air battery, and they reveal that it is only 2.49 mm thick, almost half as thick as the battery of the iPhone 17 Pro. The air of the iPhone 17 would have a battery capacity of 3,000 mAh or less, which will hinder the battery life compared to the thicker models. But between the optimizations of the software and a rumor battery case, the majority of users will still be able to obtain a full day of a single load.
Airpods Pro 3 could be a few weeks old – here is what we know

New Apple TV still launched this year
The current Apple TV 4K model arrives at three years, but Apple is apparently on the right track to publish a updated model later this year, according to a source that is aimed at Macrumors.
We expect an upgrade of the chip from the Bionic A15 found in the current model, Wi-Fi 7 support via a new Bluetooth / Wi-Fi chip designed by Apple and additional improvements.
Google makes fun of the Apple Intelligence Siri delayed in advertising to promote Pixel 10
Google This week used Apple Siri to try to attract customers to the next Pixel 10 series, sharing an advertisement that calls for Apple Intelligence’s delayed functionality Siri.
