The last week of August is now over and as we head into September, our top news were the unveil dates of the Apple iPhone 16 series and the Infinix Hot 50 5G.
Infinix’s “thinnest and most reliable 5G smartphone” will be announced on September 5. Apple’s quartet of iPhone 16, 16 Plus, 16 Pro and 16 Pro Max will launch on September 10, presumably alongside new Apple Watch and Watch Ultra and new AirPods.

TECNO unveiled the Phantom Ultimate 2 tri-fold concept phone. The phone starts at 6.48 inches and expands to a 10-inch 4:3 aspect display. TECNO hasn’t yet revealed the exact plans for launching its first tri-fold device, but it’s certainly an exciting first look at the future of the foldable market.
We saw a hands-on video of what is most likely a dummy iPhone 16 Pro Max in Desert Titanium. Whether this is the new colour that Apple is rumoured to bring or a more gold-like colour is something we are yet to see.
