Apple on Thursday released a new critical update for older iPhone and iPad models. The update aims to protect users against a growing threat that targeted Apple users running older devices. Rolled out as iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7, it targets Apple devices that are either unable to upgrade to the latest iOS 26 or have not yet been updated. The move comes after security researchers warned that attackers could easily repurpose the leaked DarkSword toolkit to target vulnerable devices, and it was spotted on open-source code-sharing platforms. Apple Issues Critical Update Apple announced that it enabled the availability of iOS 18.7.7 and iPadOS 18.7.7 on April 1 via its security releases page. The updates, rolled out for iPhone and iPad, respectively, allow more Apple devices to receive critical protections against web-based attacks linked to DarkSword. The company said these fixes were originally introduced in 2025 but are now being extended to a broader range of devices. The toolkit, n...

Design renders of the Google Pixel 11 were recently leaked, suggesting that the rumoured smartphone from the Mountain View-based tech giant could launch with subtle design adjustments. Expected to be unveiled later this year, the Pixel 11 lineup could feature at least four models, including the standard Pixel 11, Pixel 11 Pro, Pixel 11 Pro XL, and Pixel 11 Pro Fold. Now, computer-aided design (CAD) renders of the purported Google Pixel 11 Pro have also surfaced online, hinting that the company might redesign the rear camera module of the handset.

Google appears to be refining its smartphone design with the Pixel 11, based on newly surfaced CAD renders. The images suggest slimmer display bezels and subtle changes to the camera bar, while keeping the overall look largely unchanged. This points to a year focused on incremental updates rather than a major redesign. Alongside these visual tweaks, the leak also hints at expected hardware upgrades, offering an early idea of what the Pixel 11 could bring ahead of its anticipated August 2026 launch. Google Pixel 11 Leak: Thinner Bezels, Tensor G6 and 5,000mAh Battery Leaked CAD renders of the Google Pixel 11 have been shared in an Android Headlines report. The images show thinner display bezels. The Pixel 10 had thick borders for its segment, and the Pixel 11 appears to fix that. However, CAD renders may not reflect the final measurements. Google Pixel 11 appears to retain the full-width camera bar. The renders show it in an all-black finish instead of blending into the rear panel aroun...

Apple could be working on one of the biggest design changes the iPhone has ever seen, according to the latest edition of Power On, by Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. He says the upcoming model may bring a real shift in form factor, rather than the small, gradual updates we have seen over the years. The new design, as suggested in previous leaks, is expected to follow a book-style foldable approach, similar to what other smartphone makers have already introduced. Earlier reports have hinted at some of its key features as well. Apple's Foldable iPhone Tipped to Replace iPad in Some Cases In his newsletter, Gurman writes that while earlier models like the iPhone 4, iPhone 6 and iPhone X introduced notable design changes, the next version, that is the foldable iPhone, is expected to bring a more fundamental transformation. He said it "is going to be the most significant overhaul in the iPhone's history." The journalist said he has used a Samsung foldable phone for years and ...

Samsung could be gearing up for a different approach with its next foldable, as fresh leaks once again suggest a “wide” Galaxy Z Fold 8 variant may launch alongside the regular model. This isn't the first time such a version has been mentioned, hinting that the South Korean tech giant might be seriously exploring a new form factor. The wider design is expected to offer a more tablet-like experience. While nothing is official yet, Samsung will likely unveil its next foldables at a Galaxy Unpacked event in July or August.

If accurate, this change would make the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Wide roug...
