Apple is considering tandem OLEDs for its 2028 iPhones
According to a recent report from The Elec, Apple is currently evaluating plans to bring tandem OLED displays to the iPhone. The display tech made its debut on the iPad Pro (2024) and brings two OLED panels layered on top of each other. The benefits include higher brightness output and reduced power consumption.
Apple is currently evaluating the optimal tandem OLED display for the iPhone, and it apparently prefers a simplified implementation to the one used on the most recent iPad Pros. A simplified tandem OLED would still consist of two panels, with the second OLED layer only including the blue subpixels, while the primary panel houses the red and green ones. LG Display has allegedly contacted Apple about a simplified tandem OLED display last year, and Apple is also in talks with its other key supplier - Samsung Display.
Apple usually operates a standard two-year schedule for development and mass production, and the new report suggests the earliest iPhone with a tandem OLED would appear in 2028. While the report does not go into detail about which model of the iPhone would receive the new display tech, it will likely be an exclusive feature for Pro models.

Apple releases iOS 26 developer beta 5 with some changes you need to see
On Tuesday, just weeks before Apple is expected to release iOS 26, the tech giant pushed out iOS 26 developer beta 5. The latest iOS 26 developer beta comes just two weeks after Apple released the fourth developer beta. Developer beta 5 carries a build number of 23A5308g. To install it on your iPhone, you need to be subscribed to the iOS Beta Software Program. If you have your phone set to receive the iOS 26 Developer Beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update and follow the directions. iOS developer beta 5 is here and it features a new splash screen for Apple Music. | Image credit-PhoneArena On the other wrist (as opposed to 'on the other hand'), should the pixel density remain at 335.83 ppi on the upcoming version of the timepiece, the screen size will rise 3.1% to 1.98 inches. Of course, there is the possibility that the Apple Watch-related image on the new developer beta release has nothing to do with the upcoming Apple Watch Ultra 3 at all. Liquid glass for the minus sign when editing the home screen, and a new mode switching tab on the bottom of the Camera app. | Image credit-PhoneArena The iOS 26 developer beta 5 release features new splash screens for the Apple Music, Journal, and Notes apps. For those of you who have enabled Adaptive Power for your battery ( Settings > Battery > Power Mode ), you already know that when your battery usage on any particular day is higher than usual, iPhone can make small adjustments to extend your battery life, including lowering the screen brightness or reducing the speed of some activities. With the latest developer beta, users are receiving notifications when the feature is adjusting the performance of their iPhones in order to extend battery life. New share sheet and AirPlay icon (circled in red). | Image credit-PhoneArena Also spotted in the latest iOS 26 beta release: A new AirDrop icon. A new bouncy look to the boxes in the Control Center when you swipe down on the screen. A new share sheet. Liquid glass look for the "-" when you are editing the home screen. If the new mode switching at the bottom of the Photo app isn't your cup of tea, you can use the new Classic Mode Switching tab to return to the older, or Classic, way to choose between Photos and Video on the Camera app. Since we are getting closer to the release of the stable iOS26, the time between beta releases could shrink significantly.

OnePlus 15 to come with a radical design change Comments
B So the 13S/T will be the new 15 and then they will call the 15 which supposedly should be like the 13 as 15 pro or something. F Typical BBK electronics phone. Anonymous, 40 minutes ago Pricing down? Are you delusional? Since when has that been the trend? The real value of any cu... more if they make a worse product they should either lower the price or put some other extra feature to make the product worth it. That's the value proposition, what you get for your money. If they give worse value then in the past then that's not good. ? jiyen235, 1 hour ago hope they lower the pricing as well or improve the video recording, selfie and speaker quality... more Pricing down? Are you delusional? Since when has that been the trend? The real value of any currency is declining steadily each year, and you expect them to price their product even lower? 🤦♂️ hope they lower the pricing as well or improve the video recording, selfie and speaker quality to make up for it all. If not then this'd be a disgusting change. I Hope to see something smaller M Are they making Pixels now? A I think they have decided to position the Oneplus a little lower to compete with phones like the IQOO 15. Oneplus is becoming Oppo's 'cost effective' brand similar to IQOO is to Vivo and Redmi is to Xiaomi in China. The Oneplus 15 might actually be cheaper than the Oneplus 13. It kind of makes sense also to distinguish it from OPPO's find x series. The Oneplus 13 was better than the find x8 pro (apart from cameras where it didn't have any 6x zooom) but was significantly cheaper. As a result the find x8 pro had very poor sales in China as most savvy consumers realised that the Oneplus 13 was better value for money. Perhaps they are trying to distinguish more now between the Oneplus flaghsip and the Oppo find x pro model by making Oneplus a clear performance focused phone with Oppo being more Camera focused. The camera hardware gap from the Oneplus 15 to Oppo find x9 pro is likely to become larger I think than the current generation. ? If OnePlus 15 have a same display as OnePlus 13, then i will buy it tbh, but oh well, looks like will stick to OnePlus 13 or IQOO 13 e OnePlus is skipping OnePlus 14 because the number 14 is considered an unlucky number in China
