No, Apple did not officially launch the iPhone Fold yet.

However, WWDC 2026 had a few surprises for those attentive enough to go deeper into the event’s announcements. And it all revolves around iOS 27.

Of course, the main event of WWDC 2026 is the first peek into the upcoming mobile operating system. Though we already covered everything that Apple visibly announced, something hidden has essentially confirmed the band’s first foldable phone.

On X, Sam Henri Gold, an engineer, spotted a few crucial references to a foldable form factor. Hidden underneath the recently released iOS 27 beta are mentions of “foldState” and “angleDegrees.” The code also includes references to the number of displays a single device has.

Notably, iOS 26 did not include such mentions. It can’t be purely coincidental. Unless Apple is suddenly shipping iOS 27 out to foldables from other brands (highly unlikely), this is the prelude to an iPhone Fold coming later this year.

Now, rumors of an iPhone Fold have been making the rounds for a while now. But they haven’t been as strong as this year. There’s heavy speculation that the brand’s first foldable phone is coming later this fall.

There’s still a nonzero chance that it makes an appearance during WWDC 2026, but don’t put all your eggs in this basket. Apple traditionally reserves the conference for software developments. Fall is the usual playing ground for Apple’s hardware.

Apple is giving Siri its biggest upgrade yet.

At WWDC26, the company unveiled Siri AI, a rebuilt version of its digital assistant powered by Apple Intelligence. The new experience can understand personal context, answer questions about content on a user’s screen, and perform actions across apps.

Apple says Siri AI can search across messages, emails, photos, and other personal information to help users find what they need. Users can ask Siri to locate a restaurant recommendation from a friend, retrieve a hotel confirmation from an old email, or find photos from a recent trip. These capabilities can also extend to third-party apps through Spotlight integrations.

Siri can understand what’s on your screen

Beyond personal context, Siri AI can also understand content currently displayed on a device.

For example, if a user receives a message about a potluck, Siri can help brainstorm what to bring and save a recipe to Notes without requiring users to switch between apps. The assistant can also access information from the web and support more natural conversations through follow-up questions.

Apple is integrating Siri AI throughout its ecosystem. iPhone users can access it through the side button or Dynamic Island, while iPad and Mac users can use it through Spotlight. On Apple Vision Pro, Siri appears as a spatial interface that users can place anywhere in their environment.

Visual Intelligence expands across devices

Apple is also bringing Visual Intelligence to more products.

On iPhone, a new Siri mode inside the Camera app lets users ask questions about what they see. Siri can identify objects, provide nutritional information about food, and perform actions such as splitting a bill using Apple Cash.

Visual Intelligence is also coming to iPad and Mac. Users can select content on their screen, ask questions about it, and perform actions directly through Siri. Apple Vision Pro users can ask Siri about both digital content and physical objects around them.

Conversations follow you across Apple devices

Apple is introducing a dedicated Siri app that stores conversation history across devices through private iCloud syncing.

Users can start a conversation on Mac and continue it later on iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, or Apple Vision Pro. Siri AI also includes new writing tools that can generate drafts, revise text, and provide writing suggestions across Apple’s apps and supported third-party apps.

Availability

Siri AI is available for developer testing starting today across iOS 27, iPadOS 27, macOS 27, and visionOS 27. Apple plans to launch the feature as a beta later this year for supported devices set to English, with additional language support arriving afterward.

HONOR has officially launched the Magic V6 in Malaysia, bringing its latest foldable flagship to the market ahead of a wider rollout across Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and other regions.

Price and availability

The device starts at MYR 7,699 (roughly over USD 1900), with pre-orders running from June 4 to June 11, 2026. Customers who place an order during the promotional period will receive freebies and protection benefits worth up to MYR 3,797 (around USD 940). These include a 2-Year Worry-Free Quality Assurance plan and a 1-Year Worry-Free Crack Protection plan.

The HONOR Magic V6 will be available in Red, Gold, White, and Black color options.

HONOR positions the Magic V6 as a foldable that eliminates the usual trade-offs between portability, durability, and performance. The device measures just 8.75mm when folded and 4.0mm when unfolded, while weighing around 219g. Despite its slim profile, it carries IP68 and IP69 ratings for water and dust resistance and uses HONOR’s new Super Steel Hinge with a tensile strength of 2,800MPa.

Massive battery in a slim foldable

One of the biggest highlights of the Magic V6 is its 6,660mAh silicon-carbon battery. HONOR says it is the largest battery ever fitted inside a foldable smartphone. The company achieved this through a new battery design featuring roughly 25% silicon content and an energy density of 921Wh/L.

Charging is handled through 80W wired HONOR SuperCharge and 66W wireless charging. The device also supports wireless reverse charging.

The foldable is powered by the Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 Mobile Platform, paired with LPDDR5X memory and UFS 4.1 storage. HONOR says its Vulkan graphics engine enables up to 120FPS gaming in supported titles while taking advantage of the larger foldable display.

Built for productivity

The Magic V6 features a 6.52-inch outer display and a 7.95-inch inner foldable display. Both panels support adaptive refresh rates from 1Hz to 120Hz. Peak brightness reaches 6,000 nits on the cover screen and 5,000 nits on the inner display.

Running MagicOS 10, the device introduces several AI-powered tools and productivity features. These include AI agents designed to assist with settings, photos, content creation, and contextual actions. HONOR also adds Fast Flex and PC-level Multi-Flex modes, allowing users to run multiple apps simultaneously and take advantage of the larger screen for multitasking.

The company is also emphasizing cross-device compatibility. The Magic V6 works with iPhones, Macs, AirPods, and Apple Watches through HONOR Share. Users can transfer files, share notifications, and even use dual-screen workflows with compatible Apple devices. Quick Share support also enables easier file transfers between Android and supported Apple hardware.

AI-powered cameras and Gemini integration

For photography, the HONOR Magic V6 uses a triple-camera setup consisting of a 50MP main camera, a 64MP periscope telephoto camera, and a 50MP ultra-wide camera. The system is supported by AI-powered imaging tools such as AI Color Engine, Magic Color 2.0, Magic Video Color, and AI Image to Video 2.0.

The device also comes with Google Gemini integration, allowing users to interact through text, voice, and images. HONOR is bundling a three-month Google AI Pro trial, which includes access to advanced Gemini features, NotebookLM, Flow, Veo-powered video generation tools, and 5TB of cloud storage.
