iPhone 17e, Galaxy S26 Ultra Private Display and iPhone Fold: All the Developments

The week in technology was marked by significant announcements from Apple and Samsung. Apple introduced the new iPhone 17e, a more affordable model with the A19 chip and the return of MagSafe, while discontinuing the 128GB version, starting from 256GB. However, the issue of limited free storage space in iCloud remains unresolved. Samsung, on its side, is preparing to integrate an innovative privacy protection technology, the Private Display, which limits the viewing angle of the screen through hardware. This feature is expected to be found in the Galaxy S26 Ultra and will be activated dynamically, even automatically in sensitive data applications. Rumors about a foldable iPhone are intensifying. Apple is working on a foldable model with an improved mechanism and a potential return of Touch ID on the side of the device, marking a potential dynamic entry into the foldable smartphone market. Overall, the technology market seems to be moving rapidly towards enhancing privacy, increasing storage space and exploring new design forms, with competition between Apple and Samsung driving developments.
