Apple's foldable iPhone may not be much different from Samsung Fold: Report
Rather than introducing a radically new approach, Apple is expected to refine existing foldable technology. This includes reducing the visibility of the screen crease on the main display and introducing a more durable hinge mechanism. Additionally, Apple's upcoming iOS version — likely called iOS 27 — is expected to include features optimised for the foldable display experience.
The report suggests that the move is seen as a strategic response to rivals like Samsung, Huawei, and Honor, who have already gained ground in the foldable segment, especially in markets like China where demand continues to grow. Gurman also suggested that Apple's foldable iPhone could be priced around $2,000 (approximately Rs 1,72,580).
Apple iPhone fold: What to expect
Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously stated that the foldable iPhone could have a sleek design, measuring between 9mm to 9.5mm when folded, and just 4.5mm to 4.8mm when unfolded. It's expected to feature a 5.5-inch external display and a 7.8-inch internal screen with minimal crease visibility. These details were echoed by analyst Jeff Pu, who also noted that the outer screen may have a resolution of 2088 x 1422 pixels, while the inner display could be 2713 x 1920 pixels.
Samsung Display is reportedly supplying the OLED panels for the device.
In terms of optics, the foldable iPhone is said to sport a quad-camera setup: two 48MP rear sensors and two 24MP front cameras — one on each display. While the exact camera configuration is not confirmed, Apple could opt for an ultra-wide or telephoto lens as the secondary rear camera. The front-facing cameras are expected to sit inside hole-punch cutouts.
Apple may also ditch Face ID in favour of Touch ID for this model, with the fingerprint scanner likely embedded in the side-mounted power button.

Masterstroke by Mukesh Ambani as Reliance to invest Rs 4300000000 in Bengaluru-based startup, it deals in..., name is...
Mukesh Ambani (File) In a significant decision which could provide a major boost to India's growing spacetech industry, Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries is mulling to invest $50 million (about Rs 430 crore) in Digantara Research & Technologies, a Bengaluru-based spacetech startup, which is developing technology that can track objects in the Earth's orbit. How much is Mukesh Ambani Reliance Industries investing? According to a report by The Economic Times, Reliance Industries, India's most valued domestic firm led by billionaire Mukesh Ambani, is in advanced discussions to lead a Rs 430 crore funding round in Digantara, along with existing investors like Peak XV Partners. 'Reliance has evaluated multiple startups in the spacetech segment. It is looking at companies building novel solutions in the sector. Its talks with Digantara are at an advanced stage,' the report quoted a source familiar with the matter as saying. What does Digintara do? Co-founded by Anirudh Sharma (CEO), Rahul Rawat (COO), and Tanveer Ahmed (CTO), Digintara is a spacetech startup based in Bengaluru, working on the development of technologies which can track bjects in Earth's orbit. Earlier, in March, Digintara launched a satellite capable of tracking debris as small as 5 cm, and is currently providing services to defence agencies in both India and the United States, as per the report. According to the report, Digintara plans to deploy a constellation of about a dozen surveillance satellites by the end of 2026. The company has launched three satellites so far, one of which is part of the proposed satellite constellation. A major chunk of the upcoming funding round will be dedicated in developing and launching these satellites. 'Given the volatility in global geopolitics, every country is focused on having its own indigenous sovereign solutions that can be controlled in times of crisis. That's where the opportunity lies for startups like Digantara,' the report quoted a source as saying. The company established a manufacturing and operations facility in the US in February 2024, and expects to earn a revenue of $25–30 million (Rs 220–260 crore) from its US operation in the next 2-3 years.

Tesla To Launch India's First Supercharger In Mumbai On August 4; Details Inside
Tesla recently began its operations in India with the launch of the first showroom in Mumbai. While the brand prepares to expand its presence in the country with the inauguration of the second showroom in Delhi, the US-based brand is preparing to launch its first supercharger in the country. This Tesla Charging Station will be in One BKC, Mumbai, on August 4, 2025. The Tesla Charging Station in Mumbai will have four V4 Supercharging Stalls, i.e., DC Chargers, along with four Destination Charging Stalls, i.e., AC chargers. With these units in place, the Supercharging stalls over peak charging speed of 250 kW for a price of Rs 24/kW and Rs 11/kW for 11 kW of charging speed. Also Read: Maruti Suzuki Dzire Becomes Brand's Best-Selling Model While Sales Remain Flat Using these chargers, the newly launched Tesla Model Y can get up to 267 km of range within 15 minutes of charging. To add perspective, the brand claims it is enough for five return trips between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport and the Gateway of India. To use the charger, the owners of Tesla electric vehicles are required to plug in their vehicles. To check availability, the consumers can use the Tesla app. This application can also be used to monitor charging progress, receive notifications while charging, and pay for charging. The Tesla Model Y is offered in India with both RWD (rear-wheel drive) and long-range RWD options. The initial pricing for the RWD model stands at Rs 59.89 lakh, while the long-range variant is set at Rs 67.89 lakh. Consequently, the total on-road cost for the RWD version amounts to Rs 61.07 lakh, whereas the long-range version's on-road price is Rs 69.15 lakh. In India, the rear-wheel drive variant of the Tesla Model Y can be purchased with either a 60 kWh battery or a larger 75 kWh battery pack. This RWD model features a single electric motor that produces roughly 295 hp. Additionally, the 60 kWh battery is claimed to have a WLTP range of 500 km when fully charged, while the long-range version is reported to offer a range of 622 km.
