Welcome to 95 Mac Daily for Monday, September 22nd, 2025.

I'm your host, Chance Miller.

Leading off today, despite this year's new iPhones only barely hitting store shelves,

new information about next year's lineup is already brewing.

Bloomberg's Mark German has shared some new details about the all-new foldable iPhone set to launch next year.

German says that he is increasingly told that users should expect basically two titanium

iPhone errors side by side. So you'll have a display on the outside, then when you unfold it, you'll

basically have the experience of two iPhone errors next to each other. This rumor pairs nicely with a

lot of speculation that Apple engineered the iPhone Air as part of an experiment for its foldable iPhone.

German also says that everything he's heard suggests Apple will manufacture the foldable

iPhone in China, and that this foldable iPhone will likely cost at least $2,000. This aligns with

other rumors in the past that have said the phone will cost somewhere in the $2,100 to $2,300 range. But the

big takeaway here is that iPhone fold production and testing is advancing

nicely, so we should expect it to be announced in September of 26. In other news today, a few months

ago, OpenAI teamed up with Johnny Ive to build what they've described as the next

generation of AI-powered hardware. Now, a new report from the information says that OpenAI and IVE are working with the same

supply chain partners that Apple relies on for its products.

OpenAI also continues to poach from Apple's teams.

The report says that I.O., the brand name for the hardware products being developed by

Johnny I for OpenAI, has already signed with Luxshare, a major assembler of iPhones and AirPods in China.

Luxshare has already secured a contract to assemble at least one of OpenAI's devices.
