Skinny, foldable, curved: Apple’s three-year plan to finally change how the iPhone looks

At its annual iPhone event in September, Apple plans to debut the first of three phones to notably change how iPhones look for the first time in years. Bloomberg laid out the timeline of the physical makeovers:

  • 2025: A skinny iPhone Air that follows the company’s laptop strategy.

  • 2026: Apple’s first foldable phone that opens into a small tablet.

  • 2027: Curved glass edges for the iPhone’s 20th anniversary and to fit in with Liquid Glass interface.

Last year, Apple began a journey to reinvent the iPhone from the inside with Apple Intelligence branded AI — an effort that’s so far failed to deliver and has trailed peers like Google.

Tesla’s EV market share declined to 38% in August

In August, Tesla’s share of the US EV market fell to 38%, according to new data from Cox Automotive reported by Reuters. Tesla’s market share fell below 50% for the first time last year, as competitors’ EVs began hitting the market. Now, as Tesla’s own sales slip more drastically than they had last year, it’s giving up even more ground. Tesla’s market share fell from 48.7% in June to 42% in July to 38% in August, according to Reuters. That slide has come even as buyers rushing to take advantage of the federal tax credit that ends this month provide a near-term boon for sales at Tesla and other EV makers.
