We might not see an OLED MacBook Air until four years from now. A new report from the Korean publication The Elec said Apple might not add an OLED screen to its MacBook Air line until 2028. The OLED MacBook Air was originally tipped to launch in 2027.

The report cited component industry sources claiming the postponement reflects growing production costs and pricing concerns. Apple is reportedly considering how this premium display technology could impact prices and keep people from buying. Apple hasn't responded to CNET to comment about the report.

It's been a while since Apple updated its "Special Edition" budget phone. However, the recent leaks indicate we might see the iPhone SE 4 launch in 2025. Sonny Dickson shared on X a photo of an alleged case of the iPhone SE 4. It doesn't show the device, but it offers clues on what to expect.

It shows a flat back panel with a rear camera cutout that looks slightly larger than the iPhone SE 3, hinting the iPhone SE 4 might pack two cameras (a first for the series).

Apple considers scaling back on yearly product releases

Apple adheres to a yearly launch for its devices—like most tech companies. However, it might be exploring a new strategy, according to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman. The Apple insider claimed in his Power On newsletter the company is exploring a shift in how it approaches product releases. They want to take a more "fluid approach," where it releases products when they're ready. He said we might still expect annual iPhone releases, but everything else might be staggered.

There has been a predictable pattern of Apple releases. (However, the company has started to shift the schedule around in recent years.) But that strategy has taken a toll on the company, too. With the steady increase of products in its portfolio, updating these devices yearly isn't practical and some devices don't even need an annual refresh (like its Apple Watch Ultra and iPhone SE).

Leaked image reveals iPhone 16 Pro colour options

A new leaked image suggests the iPhone 16 Pro and Pro Max will feature camera lens rings that match previously reported colours. The photo suggests the new Desert Titanium colour, replacing last year's Blue Titanium, will join White, Black, and Natural Titanium options. The Black Titanium is rumoured to be significantly darker than its predecessor, while Natural Titanium will have a more grey hue.

These leaks align with earlier reports of a polished stainless steel finish, similar to the iPhone X to iPhone 14 Pro. While initial rumours suggested a Rose Gold-like colour, recent evidence (like this one) points to a more Bronze-toned finish.
