Apple is facing intensified competition from domestic smartphone makers in China, as it has been slow to launch AI features in the market. According to the Financial Times, major Chinese smartphone brands have successively introduced migration apps to attract iPhone users to switch to Android, further escalating the battle in the world’s largest smartphone market. Since the beginning of this year, China’s top five domestic manufacturers have all launched data‑migration tools to help users more easily transfer from iOS to Android, or enable dual‑device collaboration. Omdia analyst Zhong Xiaolei noted: “Chinese smartphone makers are moving faster and more openly in AI development. While it may take time for these strategies to translate into actual users, they will undoubtedly put sustained...
Early this morning, Apple pushed the second release candidate (RC2) of iOS 26.2 to iPhones, which indicates that the first release candidate was found to have some bugs and issues.

Under normal circumstances, today’s build would have been released as the official version for all compatible iPhones. However, to ensure user experience and system security, Apple chose to delay the official rollout and instead prioritize updating the build to fix these hidden problems. As usual, RC2 is mainly for bug fixes and does not introduce new features, with highlights remaining consistent with the previous version. Details are as follows: Lock Screen Sleep Scoring...

The Samsung Galaxy Z TriFold and Huawei Mate XT series take completely different approaches. Samsung adopts a dual‑screen “G‑shaped” folding design, where the flexible large display is protected inside when folded, naturally offering more protection than Huawei’s solution and giving it a significant advantage in drop resistance. Of course, this design has pros and cons—the biggest drawback is the higher weight and thickness. You immediately feel the heft when holding it, since it uses dual hinges and dual screens. The device weighs 309g, close to a can of soda, and measures 12mm thick when fully folded. At the same time, you can sense Samsung’s consistent premium feel in foldables: the craftsmanship is meticulous, the edges don’t feel sharp in the...
