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.

SpaceX seals right to buy coding startup Cursor for $60 billion

SpaceX said today it is “working closely together” with fast-growing coding startup Cursor “to create the world’s best coding and knowledge work AI.” The post also said SpaceX would have the right to acquire Cursor later this year or make the startup “pay $10 billion for our work together.” The New York Times, citing people familiar with the matter, previously reported that the companies had agreed to an acquisition.

The news comes as SpaceX prepares for a blockbuster IPO and doubles down on AI, with a growing — if still fully aspirational — focus on space-based data infrastructure and computing.

Last month, when SpaceX hired two senior leaders from Cursor, CEO Elon Musk noted that xAI, which SpaceX acquired earlier this year, “was not built right first time around, so is being rebuilt from the foundations up.”
