Apple’s foldable iPhone gamble takes centre stage
Nafisa Akabor, tech journalist and founder of Recharged.co.za, explains why Apple dropped its base model, the new accessories launched and what sets its foldable apart from competitors.
Apple has reached a settlement with users who feel they were misled about the capabilities of Siri, a feature included in the iPhone 16 and iPhone 15 models purchased between 2024 and 2025. Although the precise amount remains undisclosed, a $25 reimbursement per device appears to be the most probable scenario. In an era where it feels like companies are constantly finding new ways to take advantage of consumers, it's refreshing to see Apple addressing this issue head-on.
When faced with a series of small grievances, such as rising streaming service prices or diminishing product sizes, the prospect of receiving money from a company for a change can be quite satisfying. Siri, Apple's voice assistant, has been a focal point of the company's AI advancements for years, but some users might have been left feeling disappointed by the actual performance.
With the release of iOS 27 and the iPhone 18 Pro series, Apple has once again rekindled discussions about Siri's abilities, leaving those who own older iPhone models wondering what they might be owed.
