NewsSamsungGalaxy S27 Ultra

Galaxy S27 Ultra months before launch: a dummy unit shows a new three-lens camera bar and dimensions nearly identical to the S26 Ultra, plus a report of an upgraded Privacy Display for the S27 Pro and Ultra

Android Headlines built a dummy from the CAD files it leaked in August and compared it with the S26 Ultra and iPhone 18 Pro: 163.76×78.25×7.97mm (current: 163.6×78.1×7.9), a two-layer horizontal camera bar with three cameras instead of four, and S26 Ultra cases that will not fit. The same day, SamMobile reported that the S27 Pro and S27 Ultra get an upgraded Privacy Display and a brighter screen, while the S27 and S27+ go without. All of it is unconfirmed until Samsung’s early-2027 announcement.

NewsGoogleWear OS

Google tests a system "status bar" for Wear OS watches: time plus one indicator above every app, in the canary build only and not coming with Wear OS 7.1

Google published a Wear OS 7.1 canary emulator (Android 17) with a system-level status bar that draws the clock and the single highest-priority indicator (mic, location, connectivity, battery) over any app, hides on scroll and returns after two seconds. Google is asking developers for feedback and says plainly it will not ship with Wear OS 7.1, so a bigger change is coming later, most likely Wear OS 8.

Gurman: three new iPads in the first half of 2027: an OLED iPad Air, a base iPad with A19 and 8GB, and an iPad Pro with a vapor chamber and M6

A week after the OLED iPad mini, Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman says Apple is preparing new iPad, iPad Air and iPad Pro models for the first half of 2027, with nothing in the second half. The Air gets OLED (but likely stays 60Hz with Touch ID), the base model jumps to A19 and 8GB to run Apple Intelligence with N1 and C1X, and the Pro gets a vapor chamber and M6.

iOS 27 eats up to 16GB for Apple Intelligence, even if you never use it; here is the trick that gets the space back

Users report Apple Intelligence reserving 9 to 16GB after the iOS 27 update, even in countries where it does not work. Apple officially says «up to 8GB» for most devices and «up to 14GB» for iPhone 17 Pro, Air and Duo. Turning the feature off does not free the space; the workaround doing the rounds is switching Siri to an unsupported English such as South African, which GSMArena tested successfully.
