More rumors of the iPhone Fold, speculation about a Mac Neo, and why you shouldn't be concerned at claims people can steal money from your iPhone, on the AppleInsider Podcast.
Maybe Apple will never make a tiny desktop Mac Neo, but it should and it has everything it needs to do it, from processors to the massive success of the MacBook Neo. True, the company does seem to be a little busy with the iPhone Fold, though.
Speaking of which, the on again, off again rumors about when the iPhone Fold will be released continue. Sorting out the new leaks from the rest of the echo chamber-like reports is becoming a full-time job.
But it does at least seem ever more likely that we'll see the iPhone Fold in 2026. Don't bet on it, though, since you'll need to keep a lot of cash on you to buy it.
That will be cash that you have earned, since you are a fine, law-abiding and upstanding citizen. And also because this week's story of being able to steal thousands of dollars from a locked iPhone leave out so much crucial detail.
You're safe, your money is safe, and your iPhone is safe. Actually, your iPhone is perfect, yet still you know Apple is going to make you want the iPhone Fold.
