ITC will ban iPhones with BOE displays from being sold in the US
The ITC ruling includes two orders – a limited exclusion order and a cease and desist order. The first prevents Apple from importing infringing iPhones into the US. The latter prohibits Apple from using existing inventory and further production or sales activities.
This hasn't come into effect yet – the import ban is expected to kick in with the final ruling in November. ETNews, which has been following the suit, reports that preliminary rulings are rarely overturned. After November, there is a two-month period during which President Trump will be able to veto the final ruling.
Apple sources components from multiple manufacturers, e.g. iPhone displays are made by Samsung, LG and BOE. BOE typically makes the non-ProMotion displays on vanilla phones – in fact, it supplied the majority of iPhone 16e displays.
However, @Jukanlosreve recently reported that Apple has approved BOE display panels for iPhone 17 Pro phones that will be exclusively sold in China. Of course, ITC's ban has no influence on sales in China, but it may have affected how Apple distributes production quotas between its display suppliers. Also, the future iPhone Fold is safe, since it will use Samsung Display panels.
Besides the ITC suit, Samsung Display filed a suit with the US District Court for the Eastern District of Texas seeking compensation for lost operating profit plus punitive damages over BOE's infringement.

Leaked image shows off new iPhone 17 Pro colors, including the orange option
*Image credit — Majin Bu Apple is said to be experimenting with bolder colors on top of the exterior redesign for the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. A new image that has just surfaced gives us a look at some of these colors in a real-world environment, including the spiritual successor to Desert Titanium: an orange shade. Four of the possible new colors for the iPhone 17 Pro. | Image credit — Majin Bu The new colors shown in the image include a Titanium Gray, which is reportedly an option that Apple is considering but hasn't finalized yet. Alongside that, there is a really dark color that appears to be black, but the text next to it says that it's blue. It is, kind of. Perhaps Apple will name it Midnight Blue or something similar. The previously leaked orange color is also present, which is a sort of fierier Desert Titanium. In my opinion, it looked a lot better in fan-made renders than it does in real life. Lastly, we can also see a silver option, but orange isn't the only bold choice that Apple is considering this year for the iPhone 17 Pro. Because, not pictured here is a rumored Liquid Glass color option, which takes inspiration from the UI overhaul in iOS 26. According to reports, this new color will reflect differently under various lighting conditions, though it will mostly be a white hue. I think that sounds quite fun, and I'd wager that it will look a lot prettier than the new orange shade. Ultramarine on the iPhone 16 is a stunningly pretty color as well. | Video credit — Apple Of course, aside from new color options, the image shows off the redesigned rear camera island on the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max. The iPhone 17 Air will also feature an elongated camera island, though it will be a lot slimmer, and will heavily resemble the Google Pixel 9. If this new design isn't to your liking, however, then the base iPhone 17 will serve you just fine while looking like the base iPhone 16 . Now, all that remains to be seen is whether Samsung will also opt for bolder colors for the Galaxy S26 Ultra. Because, let's be honest, even the online exclusive colors for the Galaxy S25 Ultra look relatively muted.

Realme 15 Pro hands-on review

The 1-inch main camera sensor is much bigger than the 1/1.3-inch sensor on the Galaxy, and Huawei still uses its own RYYB sensor with that special color filter that promises incredible dynamic range of 16 stops. But the real star of the show is the world's first switchable dual telephoto camera. You get 3.7x lens and a 10x lens both based on one big 1/1.28-inch sensor. This is the biggest sensor used on a telephoto lens so far! Huawei has achieves this with some incredibly clever engineering: you have a built-in light-blocking mechanism driven by a tiny motor.
