Apple rumoured to launch a foldable iPad in 2024

Apple might be ready to launch a folding tablet soon. Analyst Ming-Chi Kuo claims the iPhone maker will launch a foldable table in 2024. As Inverse pointed out, it seems like an unusual move given how Apple typically takes a bit more time before launching a new product category. Apple has been rumoured to be working on foldable devices since 2022. But Kuo has been somewhat reliable with his predictions, so it might be time to make a countdown for this product launch. In the meantime, the heavily rumoured Apple device coming is a mixed-reality headset. We are expecting to see that new product this year.

Samsung Galaxy S23 base model will reportedly feature slower storage

We're days away from the Samsung Galaxy S23 series launch, but the leaks aren't stopping. Frequent Samsung leaker Ice Universe claims the company will feature older, slower storage as an option. The base S23's 128GB variant will supposedly use a UFS 3.1 chip instead of Samsung's UFS 4.0 standard. If you want the newer storage tech, you'll need to shell out for the 256GB option. According to Ice, the reason for this change is that Samsung doesn't produce a 128GB UFS 4.0 chip.

According to the company, the UFS 4.0 standard boasts speeds that are twice as fast as the UFS 3.1 memory. It offers sequential read and write speeds of up to 4,200MB/s and 2,800MB/s, respectively. And this new silicon is 46 percent more power efficient, which should help improve the battery life on your phone. Of course, we have to remind you that this is a rumour and should still be taken with a grain of salt. We'll hear more about the Samsung Galaxy S23 series during Samsung's Unpacked launch this February 1.

Samsung's additional Galaxy S23 colour options might be harder to come by

Leaked image of the new Samsung Galaxy S23

If you aren't interested in the more standard colour options Samsung plans to release for the upcoming Samsung Galaxy S23 devices, you might have to order quickly to get your hands on them. The Samsung Galaxy S23 line is rumoured to have four main colour variants: Phantom Black, Botanic Green, Cotton Flower (cream), and Misty Lilac (light pink / lavender).

But there have been reports that there will be four additional hues: grey, light blue, light green, and red. However, the company will reportedly produce these in limited quantities. And as with past Galaxy launches, we're assuming not all colours will be available in all markets.
