Maybe the rumored new features coming to the iPhone 17 grab you, maybe they don't. But regardless of what you think of Apple's current iPhone lineup or even its entire product portfolio, realize that better things are apparently on the way. The only problem? They're not getting here until 2027 at the earliest. That's the gist of new reporting by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman which paints a picture of how Apple plans to escape its current doldrums.

The U.S. and China may have struck a trade agreement over the weekend, but you might still end up paying more for a new iPhone when Apple's iPhone 17 models debut this fall. That's the word from The Wall Street Journal, which reports that Apple is considering whether to charge more for the new phones it has coming out later this year.

And even though phone makers have put a lot of effort into improving hinge mechanisms, concerns about durability linger on.

The waiting game that began when Samsung first previewed the Galaxy S25 Edge back in January has an end in sight now that Samsung has set a date for a Virtual Unpacked event to show off a new phone. With invitations for the May 12 live stream labeled "Beyond Slim," it's pretty clear that the Galaxy S25 Edge will be the star of the show. While it may feel as if the Galaxy S25 Edge has been discussed to death already, there's actually very little that we officially know about the phone.
