Apple May Split iPhone Launch Cycle Into Two From 2026: Full List Of iPhones Set To Release Next Year

Apple has been using September as the signature month for the launch of iPhones for almost a decade now. However, the latest reports suggest that things are going to entirely change in the next year. As mentioned in Bloomberg's Power On newsletter by Mark Gurman, it has been said that Apple may switch to a two launched per year starting from 2026. The first launch will consist of iPhone 18 flagship variants - iPhone 18 Pro, iPhone 18 Pro Max, and iPhone Fold. And the second launch will be the one bringing the low-priced variants like iPhone 18 and iPhone 18e by Spring 2027. Gurman said, 'I expect this pattern to continue for years to come, with Apple launching between five and six new models annually.' Putting a major question mark on all the previous rumours, he also said that we may get to see the iPhone Air 2 next year as well. Full List Of Phones To Launch Next Year With Expected Release Timeline iPhones to launch in September 2026 -Apple iPhone 18 Pro -Apple iPhone 18 Pro Max -Apple iPhone Fold -Apple iPhone Air 2 (highly unlikely) iPhones to launch in Spring 2027 -iPhone 18 -iPhone 18e Why Apple Is Planning To Change The Release Timeline? According to the newsletter, Apple is doing so because the current release timeline serves as a burden for the company. Furthermore, the current one only brings a limited number of opportunities to spread the revenue across the whole year.

ChatGPT And Gemini Are Bending Truth To Keep You Happy, Here's What The Latest Research Says

It is not hidden from anyone that Gemini, ChatGPT, and other similar AI models are in the habit of pleasing the user, until and unless you ask them to talk straight. But the latest research on these models tells a very different story, which is a little more concerning. According to new research conducted by Princeton and UC Berkeley researchers, the alignment techniques used by AI companies could be making the models heavily deceptive. These researchers analysed more than 100 AI chatbots from Google, Meta, Anthropic, and OpenAI. The crux is that when these models are trained using reinforcement techniques from human feedback, then they start producing content that sounds confident and friendly but is far away from the actual truth. The research paper says, 'Neither hallucination nor sycophancy fully capture the broad range of systematic untruthful behaviors commonly exhibited by LLMs… For instance, outputs employing partial truths or ambiguous language, such as the paltering and weasel word examples, represent neither hallucination nor sycophancy but closely align with the concept of bullshit.' All You Need To Know About Machine Bullshit And Why AI Models Lie? It all starts with the training of these AI models. And the most prominent training elements are Pretraining, instruction fine-tuning, and reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF). Starting with Pretraining, here AI models learns basic language patterns by analysing a large amount of text from books, research papers, and the internet. Instructions fine-tuning comprises AI being taught to behave like an assistant while answering particular queries from the user. In RLHF, humans rate different AI responses, and the model learns to prefer the ones people like the most.

This pattern has been dubbed 'machine bullshit' by the researchers. They also developed a Bullshit Index to measure how heavily an AI model moulds its statements to align with the belief of the users. And this could cause a major issue for the people who use it in serious fields like politics, finance, and healthcare.
