With the successful launch of Samsung's folding smartphones in 2020 with the Z Fold2 and Z Flip (along with a kind of messy launch in 2019 with the original Galaxy Fold), other companies are pressured to come up with a device that might have some folding element to it. Rumors as early as 2017 have suggested that Apple has been working on an iPhone device with a folding form factor. The latest evidence comes from leakster Ice Universe and if it is to be believed, Apple is apparently in talks with Samsung Display for foldable screen samples and "hopes to exclusively supply the amount for one...

Apple One will be the name of Cupertino's subscription bundle

Posted: 11 Sep 2020 12:49 PM PDT

Over the years Apple has launched a number of subscription services – Music, Arcade, News+, TV+ and others – and it's very un-Apple to have you manage all of those separately. Which is why the company is preparing to launch one subscription to rule them all. Predictably, it will be named "Apple One". Clues about this service were discovered in the APK for Apple Music 3.4.0 beta during one of 9to5google's APK teardowns. Apple Music will be part of a subscription bundle, though the exact details are a bit hazy. We first heard about Apple's plans of subscription bundles back in August,...
