Apple Unveils In-House Modem Tech and Sets Stage for Foldable iPhone Launch

Apple Inc. has been making headlines over the weekend with several significant announcements. Here are the top stories to know:

Apple is developing its own modem technology, internally named Sinope, which could lead to slimmer iPhones and expanded cellular capabilities on Macs and headsets like Vision Pro. The new modem is expected to debut next year and replace Qualcomm components over a three-year period.

The company’s plans for a foldable iPhone launch in 2026 may revitalize the market, with display analyst Ross Young predicting a 30% growth in the foldable smartphone sector by then. Apple CEO Tim Cook also shared insights on the company’s future, including the new camera button on the iPhone 16 and Vision Pro sales.

Despite a general market slowdown, Apple’s stock reached a new 52-week high due to reports of iPhone sales lagging amid lukewarm reception to AI features. The most popular free apps on Apple’s iPhone in the US are games, social media platforms, and productivity tools, with Block Blast leading the pack as a puzzle game developed by Artemis Limited.
