Yep, you could be rocking a brown iPhone in 2026. And while I can imagine a lot of people not opting for a possible poop-colored phone, I'm for it -- albeit with one condition.

If there's one feature people consistently want in a new iPhone or Android phone, it's longer battery life. CNET tested the new Apple phones' battery life three ways: through an anecdotal stress test, a video streaming test and observing battery life after everyday use.

I spoke with Apple about iPhone scratches. Apple clarified that the marks aren’t scratches and are from worn MagSafe display fixtures—which wipe away when cleaned.
The company says that small abrasions can show on the 17 Pro’s anodized finish from normal wear & tear.

Instead of being a scaled down version of a Pixel Pro that costs $200 less, the Pixel 10 has a similar body and design as the $999 Pixel 10 Pro and the same main & ultrawide cameras as the $499 Pixel 9A. At least you get a telephoto camera now🤷🏻

I'm Stoked That Google Made the Pixel 10 a $799 Value-Packed Feature Monster
The Pixel 10 takes a step closer to Google's budget phone line. It's part Pixel 10 Pro and part Pixel 9A and has three rear cameras, including a 5x telephoto lens.

The Galaxy Z Flip 7 is the most fully realized version of Samsung's ideal of a flip phone since the launch of the original Galaxy Z Flip in 2020. It's a thin phone with a big, bold screen that folds in half into a coaster-sized square.
