Foldable iPhone and OLED MacBook may debut under Apple’s Ultra branding | Technology News

3 min readNew DelhiApr 30, 2026 06:08 PM IST Apple may be preparing a major shift in how it brands its most premium devices. Reports suggest the company could expand its Ultra label to include a foldable iPhone and a new MacBook, marking a broader strategy to position its top-end products more distinctly. According to a report by Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple plans to launch its first foldable iPhone as the “iPhone Ultra” instead of the expected “iPhone Fold”. This signals that the company may use the Ultra branding more widely across its ecosystem, a move reportedly prioritised for Apple’s next CEO, John Ternus. Foldable iPhone could sit above Pro lineup The foldable iPhone is expected to debut later this year alongside the iPhone 18 Pro lineup, not as a replacement but as a more premium offering that will sit above the Pro models, with Apple possibly avoiding traditional numbering for the device, similar to its approach to the iPhone Air. The device is said to feature a book-style folding design, with a large inner …

Apple announces March 4 event for likely low-cost MacBook, iPhone| Business News

Apple Inc. is set to unveil a slew of new products — from low-cost MacBooks to cheaper iPhones — at an event scheduled for 4 March. The Apple invite for the March 4 event doesn’t specify whether a keynote will be streamed online. (Apple) The company invited media to gatherings in New York, Shanghai and London, saying it is holding an in-person “experience”. The invitation implies a more low-key showcase than the typical launches held at its campus in Cupertino. The invitation doesn’t specify whether a keynote will be streamed online, as has been typical since 2020 when Apple had to adjust its event strategy due to covid. Apple has been planning to release several new products in the first half of 2026, including new MacBook Pros, MacBook Airs, a low-cost MacBook in several colours and new iPad models. Apple is also soon planning to release an iPhone 17e, an update to its mid-tier smartphone. Disclaimer: We do not own any of the content, ideas, images, or text presented here.

Apple’s M2 MacBook Air is just 9 during Cyber Monday

Apple’s M2 MacBook Air is just $599 during Cyber Monday

While Walmart continues to sell the 2020 M1 MacBook Air for $549, Best Buy is upping the ante for Cyber Monday with a sweet doorbuster deal on Apple’s 13-inch M2 MacBook Air that has twice the RAM (16GB vs. 8GB), not to mention a better design. Best Buy has marked it down to $599 ($200 off) for Cyber Monday. The laptop was the first model to sport the MacBook Air’s current slate-like design, so it looks similar to the latest M4 edition that’s $749 right now. It has a 13.6-inch 2560 x 1664 display, a 1080p webcam, and a pair of Thunderbolt 3 ports. Its M2 processor has an eight-core CPU and eight-core GPU that’s getting a bit long in the tooth for demanding applications, but is sufficiently powerful for most tasks. For example, the laptop had no trouble during our testing when editing and exporting high resolution images in Adobe Lightroom Classic, or quickly exporting a 4K video using Adobe Premiere. The MacBook Air’s fanless design means the CPU and GPU will get throttled …

The M4 MacBook Air is one of the best Apple deals you can get for Black Friday

The M4 MacBook Air is one of the best Apple deals you can get for Black Friday

Black Friday is packed with plenty of great Apple deals, but one of the most notable is the current discount on the latest MacBook Air. Right now, you can buy the 13-inch MacBook Air M4 with 256GB of storage at Amazon, Best Buy, and Costco starting around $749 ($250 off), which remains the laptop’s lowest price to date. If you prefer a larger display, the base 15-inch Air is also down to an all-time low of $949 ($250 off) at Amazon and Best Buy with 256GB of storage. If you’re shopping for a laptop for everyday use, Apple’s latest entry-level MacBook Air remains our top pick. It offers everything most people need, including all-day battery life and snappy performance courtesy of Apple’s last-gen M4 processor. It also comes with twice as much base RAM as its predecessor (16GB), helping it power through productivity tasks — and even light video editing or casual gaming — with ease. Additionally, unlike previous models, you can connect the M4 Air to two external displays with the lid open for …

Don’t buy the M1 MacBook Air when the M4 model is just 0 more

Don’t buy the M1 MacBook Air when the M4 model is just $150 more

This is just a little public service announcement ahead of Black Friday. Walmart will once again tout the M1 MacBook Air as an unbeatable deal for laptop shoppers. It sure is tempting at $599, especially if you haven’t seen the deal before. It might even be the right choice for some people. But for most Verge readers buying either for themselves or for someone who needs to get stuff done, it’s not a great value. Not when the 2025 M4 model, with its spec enhancements, design tweaks, and processing speed improvements, is just $150 more. You can currently get one of those starting at $749.99 from Amazon and Best Buy. Apple’s M-series processors have gotten more powerful every year, and the M4 represents the fourth generation. That’s not to say the M1 MacBook Air is a bad machine. You can do a lot worse with $600. Compared to some of Apple’s Intel-based laptops, the 2020 model raised the bar for performance and battery life. But its compromises become more apparent with each passing year. You …
