iOS 27 rumors tease a Siri makeover, AI Health+ coach and even 5G satellite internet

Apple’s next major iPhone software update, iOS 27, could add 5G satellite internet support and expand satellite features, while pushing a more capable Siri and new Apple Intelligence tools such as an AI health coach, MacRumors reported on Sunday. The site said the first iOS 27 beta should arrive at WWDC in June, with a broader release expected in September. The early chatter matters because Apple’s software preview season is not far off. Macworld said WWDC 2026 is anticipated for June 8 and the company’s iPhone launch event usually lands in September, a window when Apple tends to ship its next iOS version to users.

iOS 26.3 could finally bring encrypted iPhone-to-Android texting — here’s what to know

Apple’s upcoming iOS 26.3 update could move iPhones closer to end-to-end encrypted texting with Android users, as signs in the latest beta point to a newer version of RCS messaging, a report said. The update is expected later this month, though Apple has not detailed what will ship in the final release. The timing matters because iPhone-to-Android texting still breaks into two different worlds: iMessage on one side, and carrier messaging on the other. People bounce between phones, carriers and apps, and privacy is now part of the argument, not a footnote.

TAIPEI, January 19, 2026, 23:44 GMT+8 Legacy memory prices are set to surge again, with DDR4 contract prices predicted to climb as much as 50% in Q1 due to tightening supply and enterprise demand, TrendForce News reported Monday. Some major suppliers have even paused price quotes ahead of talks expected to stretch into late January and February. TrendForce projects conventional DRAM contract prices to leap 55% to 60% quarter-on-quarter, while NAND flash contracts could rise 33% to 38%.

Apple beats Samsung in 2025 global smartphone race as a memory crunch clouds 2026

Apple closed 2025 as the leading smartphone vendor globally by shipments, narrowly surpassing Samsung Electronics amid modest market growth, according to early data from IDC. Apple shipped 247.8 million units, grabbing a 19.7% market share, while Samsung followed with 241.2 million phones and 19.1%. Overall shipments for 2025 grew 1.9%, reaching roughly 1.26 billion devices. “Apple maintained its leadership for the third consecutive year,” said IDC’s Nabila Popal. Why it matters now: the supply crunch for key components is tightening, with memory—especially DRAM, the working memory inside phones—drawing renewed attention. U.S. chipmaker Micron announced it will shell out $1.8 billion to acquire a Taiwan fabrication plant from Powerchip. The move aims to ramp up DRAM wafer production starting in the

Ukraine’s first 5G pilot goes live in Lviv as Kyivstar presses ahead amid war

Kyivstar launched its first 5G test zone in Lviv on Monday, marking Ukraine’s initial step into 5G. The operator plans to extend trials to Kharkiv near the Russian border and Borodianka just outside Kyiv, with pilot projects in Kyiv and Odesa slated for later in 2026. “While the enemy is trying to destroy our infrastructure, we continue to modernize,” digital transformation minister Mykhailo Fedorov declared on Telegram. This change is vital while Ukraine’s networks stay online despite missile attacks and blackouts, with operators rushing to strengthen infrastructure amid soaring mobile data demand. 5G—fifth-generation mobile service—delivers greater data capacity and lower latency compared to 4G, which still carries most of the traffic.

This marks Huawei’s first time leading the market in five years. “In 2026, rising costs will become a major challenge,” noted Hayden Hou, principal analyst at Omdia.

Verizon outage fallout: Visible customers get $5 credits as carrier stays quiet on what broke

Visible customers report getting a $5 credit following last week’s Verizon network outage, supplementing Verizon’s $20 compensation as the company attempts to ease customer frustration. Visible informed users, “We are giving you a $5 credit towards your next month of service.” Credits are crucial since wireless networks have become essential for everyday tasks like work calls, banking, delivery apps, and even emergencies. In a saturated U.S. market dominated by Verizon, AT&T, and T-Mobile, where growth is slowing, reliability remains the strongest selling point.

Optimum Mobile shakes up international roaming with $35 weekly Travel Pass and new calling plans

Optimum has overhauled its international calling and roaming add-ons for Optimum Mobile, rolling out a $35-per-week “Travel Pass” for customers using data abroad. The company also launched monthly international calling plans at $5 and $15, available to both new and existing users. “We’re making it easier and more affordable than ever for our customers to connect globally,” said Mike Parker, Optimum’s president of consumer services. International add-ons have turned into a key factor in U.S. wireless churn, as carriers work to lock in customers by offering perks. Cable operators bundling mobile with home broadband make a straightforward case: a more affordable package, fewer incentives to switch, and no unexpected charges while traveling.

Jio beats China Unicom in 5G users as India’s AirFibre broadband bet grows

Reliance Jio has surged past China Unicom to claim the spot as the world’s third-largest 5G operator by user count, according to GSMA Intelligence. Its subscriber base jumped nearly 50% year-on-year, reaching 253 million by the end of 2025. That edges out China Unicom’s 235 million 5G connections. Ahead of both are China Telecom with 303.6 million users and market leader China Mobile boasting 636.6 million. Reliance reported that 5G accounted for 53% of its traffic in the quarter ending December 31. Monthly data consumption hit 40.7GB, pushing average revenue per user up to 213.70 rupees.

Google is rolling out new AI features in Gmail powered by Gemini, inviting users to balance ease of use with the extent of their inbox data being analyzed. Turning these tools on allows Google's AI to scan both the email content and metadata—details like sender and timestamp. The timing is crucial since Gmail ranks among the globe’s largest communication platforms, and Google aims to shift it from just a message inbox into more of an assistant. “Today, 3 billion users rely on Gmail,” the company noted in a blog post unveiling what it dubbed the “Gemini era” for the service.

iPhone Fold leak points to Touch ID comeback, September 2026 timing and a $2,400 ceiling

Apple’s eagerly anticipated iPhone Fold might arrive in September 2026, trading Face ID for the Touch ID fingerprint sensor, according to analyst Jeff Pu’s investor note referenced by Tom’s Guide. The foldable device is expected to feature a 7.8-inch main display, a 5.3-inch cover screen, and could carry a price tag near $2,400. This move would finally place Apple in the foldable arena it’s observed from afar, as Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold series and Google’s Pixel Fold have been leading the charge at the premium end. Foldables remain niche, selling modestly, yet their steep price tags help boost profit margins.

Samsung’s next Galaxy S flagship is already being mapped out in leaks, with fresh reports pointing to a four-color Galaxy S26 Ultra and a shift toward less-processed photos as the company heads into its expected late-February launch window. The timing matters because Samsung’s Ultra model is one of the most watched premium Android phones, and the camera is where buyers still expect visible gains. With hardware upgrades slowing, changes in software — how a phone “develops” a photo after you tap the shutter — can be the bigger story.

Satellite smartphones back in the spotlight as Europe boosts LEO launches — and Qualcomm’s Snapdragon Satellite play

European satellite operator Eutelsat has inked a multi-launch deal with French startup MaiaSpace to deploy its low-Earth-orbit satellites starting in 2027. MaiaSpace, part of ArianeGroup, is working on a partially reusable rocket—an innovation set to be a European first. Eutelsat also owns OneWeb, which operates the only other low-Earth orbit constellation rivaling SpaceX’s Starlink. Competition for launch slots and satellite bandwidth is heating up as firms strive to expand mobile coverage from orbit—even to standard smartphones. Last year, Starlink landed what it called its largest “direct-to-cell” agreement with telecom group Veon, offering satellites that function like cell towers to reach areas beyond traditional networks.
