Apple is preparing for more product announcements next week, including a potential touchscreen MacBook Pro, iPad mini 8, and updated iMac and MacBook Pro models with the M6 chip. The highly anticipated iPhone Duo, Apple's first foldable smartphone, launched to extraordinary demand, leading to long lines at Apple Stores despite efforts to manage walk-in sales. Early reviews indicate third-party apps may need updates to fully optimize for the iPhone Duo's unique display. Verizon announced a $10 monthly fee for iPhone Handoff, a new iOS 27 feature allowing two iPhones to share one number, following T-Mobile's earlier $5 charge. Apple released the release candidates for iOS 27.2 and related updates, signaling an imminent public release with updates to Apple Music, Apple TV user profiles, and expanded Siri AI support. The revamped Health app, initially tested in the beta, will be held back for further testing. Rumors suggest Apple is developing a "HomeView Max" smart home hub with a 9-inch, 360-degree swiveling display for enhanced video calls.
