Apple Wallet Could Soon Save Trade-In Quotes for 90 Days
Apple appears to be developing a retail trade-in system that would let customers save a trade-in offer to the Wallet app for up to 90 days, based on code seen by MacRumors . References to the system were found in an update to Apple's Guide app. Guide is used by Apple employees, Apple Authorized Resellers, and other sales organizations during conversations and product demonstrations with customers. One string in the app says: You can add this trade-in offer to your Apple Wallet. It will be valid for 90 days. Other strings indicate that an employee could display a QR code for the customer to scan with their iPhone. To save this offer, simply scan the QR code with your iPhone's camera, another message says. The app also has localized Add to Apple Wallet buttons for dozens of regions and languages. The Wallet pass appears to be the final step in a broader trade-in workflow added to the app. Code references describe checking whether a device is eligible, scanning or entering its serial number or IMEI, answering questions about its physical condition, and running Apple Diagnostics. The system can then retrieve quotes from trade-in vendors and generate a Wallet pass for the selected offer. Apple has also added references to a TradeInKit framework, along with server endpoints for device eligibility, diagnostic sessions, trade-in pricing, and Wallet pass generation. Both the overall trade-in feature and the Wallet pass option appear to be controlled by server-side switches, so their presence in the app does not mean they are live for employees or customers yet. A trade-in offer valid for 90 days would give customers a longer window than Apple currently advertises for online trade-ins. After a trade-in estimate is generated, Apple has to receive the device within 14 days to ensure the customer gets the estimated value. Given the current 14-day limit, it's possible the unreleased system could be intended for a different kind of transaction. A customer visiting an Apple Store could have a device evaluated without immediately purchasing a replacement, save the resulting offer in Apple Wallet, and return within 90 days to use it. The Wallet pass could make the offer easier to retrieve than an email or paper quote, while giving customers more time to decide whether to upgrade. Apple's code does not say whether the value displayed in the Wallet pass would be guaranteed for the full 90-day period. Apple's current trade-in terms allow a quote to be revised when the inspected condition differs from the customer's description, when an activation lock has not been removed, or when a device is not returned within the required period. The new code also includes warnings for device lock states and indicates that trade-in values may be provided through Apple's existing third-party trade-in partners. Apple has not announced Wallet-based trade-in offers or a 90-day price window. The feature could remain an internal test, and its implementation or terms may change before any wider rollout.

Google Pixel 11 vs iPhone 17: Price in India and Full Specifications Compared
Google Pixel 11 has been launched in India, and the new Pixel smartphone competes directly with Apple's iPhone 17, which was unveiled in September last year. The Google Pixel 11 sports a 6.3-inch (1,080 x 2,424 pixels) OLED Actua display, with up to a 120Hz refresh rate, while the iPhone 17 is equipped with a 6.3-inch Super Retina XDR OLED display. The Google Pixel 11 is equipped with the latest Google Tensor G6 chipset. On the other hand, the iPhone 17 is powered by the A19 chipset, featuring a 16-core Neural Engine.
Apple Hires Airline Exec as Vice President of Government Affairs
Apple hired former American Airlines executive vice president Nick Gatten as its new vice president of government affairs, reports Bloomberg . Gatten will take on some of the duties of senior vice president of government affairs Katherine Adams, who is retiring at the end of 2026. Gatten will report to Apple senior vice president and general counsel Jennifer Newstead, with Adams to remain available in an advisory role until October 1. Bloomberg says Gatten is a Republican that Apple felt would be able to align with the Trump administration while also working with democrats. He previously worked at Fannie Mae where he managed a team that interfaced with Republican members of Congress, and he oversaw government affairs at JPMorgan Chase & Co. and American Airlines. He is also on the board of the Faith and Politics institution, an organization that cultivates mutual respect, moral reflection, increased understanding, and honest conversation among political leaders. From the article: At the same time, Apple sees Gatten as someone who can work constructively with policymakers on both sides of the aisle, the people said. That will be especially important if the balance of power shifts in Washington. Democrats are vying to take control of at least one chamber of Congress in midterm elections in November, and Trump has less than 2 1/2 years left in his term. Gatten will work closely with Tim Cook in his new role. Cook plans to step down as Apple CEO on September 1, with hardware chief John Ternus to take over. Cook will remain on as executive chairman, engaging with policymakers and governments worldwide.

iPhone 18 Pro: Apple Secures Lower Display Prices Amid RAM Shortage
Apple has secured lower prices for OLED displays for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro models, according to industry sources cited by South Korea's DealSite . For example, the report said Apple will pay LG and Samsung around $68 per OLED display destined for the iPhone 18 Pro Max, down significantly from the $110 to $120 that it paid those suppliers for each iPhone 17 Pro Max display. Apple is said to have made an aggressive push for lower display prices due to the ongoing memory chip shortage , resulting from companies building out powerful AI data centers. The supply-demand imbalance has led to skyrocketing prices for RAM chips used in devices like the iPhone, leading to increased production costs for Apple. South Korea's The Elec first reported on these negotiations last month. By securing lower costs for some non-memory iPhone components, such as displays, Apple can partially offset the rising costs of RAM. Even still, the iPhone 18 Pro models are expected to be more expensive than the iPhone 17 Pro models, with market research firms estimating that U.S. starting prices could rise by $200 to $300 . If so, the iPhone 18 Pro and iPhone 18 Pro Max could start at up to $1,399 and $1,499, respectively. Apple already raised prices on Macs, iPads, and select other products in June, but the iPhone was spared. If Apple can secure lower prices for displays and some other components, then perhaps the price increases expected for the iPhone 18 Pro models will be closer to the $200 mark or less rather than $300, but only time will tell. Apple is expected to unveil the iPhone 18 Pro models and a foldable iPhone this September, so we are only a month away from official pricing info.

Apple Patenting Way to Improve Notification Summaries and
A newly published Apple patent application describes a system for deciding, in real time, whether to interrupt what someone is doing on a device or leave them alone. The application was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) on February 5, 2026 and published on August 6, 2026, as spotted by patent tracking site Patentlyze . The patent describes how a device can observe what someone is doing, check that behavior against rules for when an interruption is warranted, and only then decide whether to show a prompt. For example, if someone has been scrolling in an app for a long time, staring at one app, or repeating some other pattern the rules flag, the device would step in. If nothing matches, it does nothing and allows the person to carry on uninterrupted. A second part of the same filing covers turning recent activity into a short summary, so instead of getting interrupted mid-task, someone could check in afterward and see what they had missed. Apple already ships something conceptually close to both halves of this patent. iOS 18.1 introduced AI-powered notification summaries , which use on-device AI to condense a stack of alerts into a single line, alongside a Reduce Interruptions Focus mode that filters out notifications the system judges unimportant. If Apple built the proposed system into a shipping feature, it looks better suited to sharpening those two tools than replacing them. Reduce Interruptions currently judges each notification individually, weighing its content and sender to decide whether it counts as important enough to break through. It does not factor in what someone is actively doing on the device at that moment. The mechanism in this patent could add that layer, checking a person's ongoing activity, such as how long they have been on a call or how many times they have reopened an app, before deciding whether an interruption is warranted at all, even for a notification that would otherwise qualify. Notification summaries could benefit in a similar way. Rather than condensing whatever alerts happen to stack up regardless of context, the patent's summarization element describes building a digest from a person's broader activity, which could let the system hold back a stray or inaccurate summary until it has enough of a pattern to summarize accurately, the kind of context Apple's AI summaries lacked when they generated a false news headline and drew criticism in December 2024. As with all Apple patent filings, there is no guarantee that this specific system will ship in an actual product, and its docketed but unexamined status means the invention could still be narrowed or rejected before a patent is granted. That being said, the application maps onto features already live on Apple devices, which makes it appear to be less of a shot in the dark than many other patent applications. It could easily be Apple laying the groundwork for where it wants to take Reduce Interruptions and notification summaries next.

Usage statistics demonstrate strong engagement across multiple features. The application currently generates over 150 million images daily , and 63% of users engage in direct conversational interactions with the AI. Furthermore, one out of every five interactions within Gemini Live extends beyond audio commands to utilize multimodal capabilities , such as camera feeds and live screen sharing . 1B+ people are now using @Geminiapp every month to spark new ideas and get things done.

Ray-Ban Display: Meta Rolls Out Neural Handwriting For Silent AI Interactions
Meta has officially launched its neural handwriting feature in the Early Access Program (EAP) for the Ray-Ban Display smart glasses. Powered by the companys surface electromyography ( sEMG ) Neural Band , this update enables silent AI interactions by interpreting subtle muscle movements in the wrist and finger, allowing users to input text without typing on a physical screen or speaking aloud. To utilize the feature , users can draw letters using their index finger on a stable surface while their display is active. This gesture system allows individuals to issue AI queries , request navigation directions , play music, and send messages discreetly. For optimal performance, Meta advises writing in print rather than cursive, maintaining a steady pace, and resting the wrist on a hard surface. The system leverages on-device artificial intelligence to automatically detect and rectify spelling errors in real time, eliminating the need for users to manually pause or correct mistakes during input. Metas Neural Band Accessing this experimental capability requires pairing the Neural Band with updated smart glasses and enabling the setting within the Meta AI app . Users must navigate to device settings, select the Early Access menu, and toggle on Meta AI with neural handwriting . This release builds on features teased in December 2025, moving Meta closer to its broader vision for augmented reality (AR) hardware. Industry experts consider sEMG technology a fundamental component for true hands-free computing , as it translates physiological signals into digital commands without requiring visual tracking hardware or voice control. By capturing minor neuromuscular impulses, the Neural Band provides an intuitive control interface that operates silently in public environments. Alongside neural handwriting, Meta continues to test additional gesture controls and platform integrations, including Instagram Reels support, to expand the utility of its wearable ecosystem.

Apple Skipping iPhone 18 Launch This Year
Apple supplier Pegatron today indirectly confirmed that the standard iPhone 18 model will not be released until next year, according to a new report. Pegatron held an earnings call for the second quarter of 2026 today. On the call, Taiwan's Economic Daily News said Pegatron indicated that one of its customers will be changing its usual smartphone shipment schedule. As widely expected, the report said Apple plans to release the iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and a foldable iPhone Ultra this September, followed by the standard iPhone 18 model in the first quarter of 2027. The standard iPhone 11 through to the iPhone 17 all launched alongside Pro and Pro Max models in September over the years, so the launch of the base model iPhone 18 being postponed until around March 2027 would be a notable change. Apple's plans to split up the launch of the iPhone 18 series has already been widely rumored by sources such as Apple supply chain analyst Ming-Chi Kuo , former The Information reporter Wayne Ma , and others over the past year. Apple supplier Largan Precision also hinted at the change in a similarly indirect way earlier this year. A lower-end iPhone 18e and an iPhone Air 2 are also expected to be released around March 2027 . In total, six new iPhone models are slated to launch by the end of March: iPhone 18 Pro: September 2026 iPhone 18 Pro Max: September 2026 iPhone Ultra: September 2026 iPhone 18: March 2027 iPhone 18e: March 2027 iPhone Air 2: March 2027 Related Roundups: iPhone 18 , iPhone 18 Pro Tag: Economic Daily News Related Forum: iPhone This article, Apple Skipping iPhone 18 Launch This Year first appeared on MacRumors.com Discuss this article in our forums
