iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air display sizes tipped ahead of September 2025 launch
Apple is preparing for the iPhone 17 series launch in September, bringing new and upgraded models. As we wait to get a glimpse of the new generation iPhones, we may have the expected display sizes of the standard iPhone 17 and the new iPhone 17 Air model. While Spigen mistakenly reveals the iPhone 17 display size ahead of the launch, a tech publication has found traces of the iPhone 17 Air with display resolutions on iOS 26 beta 2. Therefore, we may get an idea of what the standard iPhone variant may look like during the launch in September 2025.
Spigen, a popular brand that sells protective phone cases and accessories, has listed its popular EZ Fit Tempered Glass Screen Protector on Amazon India, revealing iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Pro display sizes. Reportedly, the standard iPhone 17 will come with a bigger 6.3-inch display as per the listing, which matches the size of the iPhone 16 Pro model, or the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro model. On the other hand, the second beta of iOS 26 may confirm the existence of iPhone 17 Air by revealing wallpaper size and resolution.
According to a Macworld report, A version of iOS clownfish wallpaper was spotted with 420x912@3x resolution. This resolution is said to be 1260 x 2736, which does not match any of the current iPhone models. However, analyst Ming-Chi Kuo previously predicted that the iPhone 17 Air could feature a 6.6-inch display with about 1260 x 2740 resolution, which is similar to what was spotted on the iOS 26 beta 2. Therefore, we can expect these display sizes to be announced at the iPhone 17 series launch event.
The iPhone 17 series is expected to come with several upgrades in terms of design, performance, camera, and others. Apple is also expected to announce a new ultra-slim model, the iPhone 17 Air, which is said to replace the Plus variant. Additionally, all four models are expected to get a 24MP selfie camera, an awaited upgrade from the 12MP camera. We can also expect a few design changes to iPhone 17 Pro models, with a new camera module and a major comeback of the aluminium frame.

Apple spends half a billion dollars on California real estate in a week — is Tim Cook planning something big?
Tech giant Apple Inc. has made headlines this week with a massive real estate buying spree in California's South Bay, spending over $517 million on commercial properties in Santa Clara County, underscoring its deepening roots in Silicon Valley. Major Sunnyvale Acquisition Caps Week of Aggressive Expansion In its latest move, Apple purchased a prominent two-building office campus in Sunnyvale for a staggering $350 million, county records filed on June 26 confirmed. Located at 615 and 625 North Mathilda Avenue, the 382,500-square-foot complex—known as Mathilda Commons —was previously leased by Apple from real estate heavyweight Jay Paul Co. This deal represents one of Santa Clara County's costliest office acquisitions in 2025 so far and exceeds the campus's most recent assessed value of $292.8 million by nearly 20%, signalling a significant vote of confidence in the area's commercial property market, as per a report by Silicon Valley. Cupertino Deal Adds to Weekly Spending Surge Just two days prior, Apple completed another major transaction, acquiring a three-building office campus at 10200 North Tantau Avenue in Cupertino for $166.9 million, also transitioning from tenant to owner. With both deals combined, Apple has secured five office buildings this week alone, taking its South Bay property purchases to over half a billion dollars in just seven days. Commenting on the acquisitions, Kristina Raspe, Apple's Vice President of Global Real Estate and Facilities, stated: 'The Santa Clara Valley has been home to Apple for more than 40 years, and we're proud to continue investing in world-class facilities for our teams here.' Live Events Mathilda Commons Could House Nearly 2,000 Employees The recently purchased Sunnyvale property, besides being one of the priciest in recent memory, could also become a vital operational hub. Experts estimate the campus has the capacity to accommodate between 1,500 and 1,900 employees, bolstering Apple's presence beyond its famed Apple Park headquarters. The move reflects Apple's long-term real estate strategy of converting leased spaces into owned assets, a trend that the Cupertino-based firm has followed consistently in recent years. A Pattern of Strategic Acquisitions Apple has been steadily expanding its footprint across Cupertino, Sunnyvale, and other parts of the South Bay by acquiring properties it already occupies. Notable past purchases include: A $450 million acquisition in 2021 of a five-building campus near North De Anza Boulevard and Mariani Avenue. A 10-building campus known as 'Apple Results Way' in 2023, with the transaction value kept confidential. A $70 million office building at 10200 North De Anza Blvd. in 2023, reportedly acquired at a 35% discount on market value. Interestingly, Apple also sold one of its South Bay holdings this year—a property in north San Jose, offloaded to Samsung for $27 million in February 2025. FAQs What did Apple purchase most recently in Silicon Valley? Apple purchased a two-building office campus known as Mathilda Commons at 615 and 625 North Mathilda Avenue in Sunnyvale for $350 million. How large is the Sunnyvale property Apple just bought? The Sunnyvale campus spans 382,500 square feet and has capacity for 1,500 to 1,900 employees.

iPhone 17 Pro dummy leak hints at bold camera redesign, 12GB RAM and A19 Pro Chip
Fresh leaks surrounding the upcoming iPhone 17 Pro have set social media abuzz, revealing a bold redesign of its rear camera system and significant internal upgrades. A dummy unit of the highly anticipated device has surfaced online, giving enthusiasts a glimpse into what Apple may have in store for its 2025 flagship. Popular tipster Majin Bu posted images of the iPhone 17 Pro dummy on X (formerly Twitter), showing a revamped rear layout. The device still features a triple-camera setup, similar to last year's iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max. However, all three sensors are now housed in a larger, horizontal strip. An LED flash is positioned in the top-right corner, and a LiDAR scanner—now accompanied by its own LED—also appears in the module. The iPhone 17 Pro is expected to include substantial performance enhancements, including up to 12GB of RAM across all models—Apple's biggest RAM upgrade yet. Rumors suggest the phone will be powered by the Apple A19 Pro Bionic chip, and come equipped with two 48MP cameras and one 12MP sensor on the back. Battery life improvements and support for faster wired and wireless charging are also anticipated—features that users have long requested. Adding to the hype, a user claimed to have spotted the iPhone 17 Pro in the hands of a fellow passenger during a test flight to Bangladesh, though the authenticity of that sighting remains unverified. As Apple enthusiasts eagerly await the official launch, these leaks offer the clearest look yet at what could be a significant leap in design and performance for the iPhone lineup.

DeepSeek faces expulsion from app stores in Germany
HighlightsGermany's data protection commissioner Meike Kamp has requested that Apple Inc. and Google LLC remove the Chinese artificial intelligence startup DeepSeek from their app stores due to concerns over illegal data transfers to China. DeepSeek has been criticized for failing to provide adequate evidence that the personal data of German users is protected in China at a level comparable to that within the European Union. The technology company DeepSeek has faced scrutiny in multiple countries, with Italy already blocking its app and the Netherlands banning its use on government devices due to data security concerns. Germany 's data protection commissioner has asked Apple and Google to remove Chinese AI startup DeepSeek from their app stores in the country due to concerns about data protection, following a similar crackdown elsewhere. Commissioner Meike Kamp said in a statement on Friday that she had made the request because DeepSeek illegally transfers users' personal data to China. The two US tech giants must now review the request promptly and decide whether to block the app in Germany, she added, though her office has not set a precise timeframe. Google said it had received the notice and was reviewing it. DeepSeek did not respond to a request for comment. Apple was not immediately available for comment. According to its own privacy policy, DeepSeek stores numerous pieces of personal data, such as requests to its AI programme or uploaded files, on computers in China. "DeepSeek has not been able to provide my agency with convincing evidence that German users' data is protected in China to a level equivalent to that in the European Union," Kamp said. "Chinese authorities have far-reaching access rights to personal data within the sphere of influence of Chinese companies," she added. The commissioner said she took the decision after asking DeepSeek in May to meet the requirements for non-EU data transfers or else voluntarily withdraw its app. DeepSeek did not comply with this request, she added. DeepSeek shook the technology world in January with claims that it had developed an AI model to rival those from U.S. firms such as ChatGPT creator OpenAI at much lower cost. However, it has come under scrutiny in the United States and Europe for its data security policies. Italy blocked it from app stores there earlier this year, citing a lack of information on its use of personal data, while the Netherlands has banned it on government devices. Belgium has recommended government officials not to use DeepSeek. "Further analyses are underway to evaluate the approach to be followed," a government spokesperson said. In Spain, the consumer rights group OCU asked the government's data protection agency in February to investigate threats likely posed by DeepSeek, though no ban has come into force. US lawmakers plan to introduce a bill that would ban U.S. executive agencies from using any AI models developed in China. Reuters exclusively reported this week that DeepSeek is aiding China's military and intelligence operations.
