Rumors surrounding upcoming phones appear daily, from the iPhone 17 Slim to Samsung’s next Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 devices. There’s one phone in particular that has seen an increase in teasers recently however, and that’s the next phone to launch from OnePlus. 

The Chinese company already confirmed the OnePlus 13T was coming – on April Fools no less – and the device has appeared on AnTuTu with some impressive benchmarking scores. OnePlus has also previously shared a teaser image showing off an action button in place of the signature action slider, and now another official teaser image has appeared.

What is the latest rumor for the OnePlus 13T?

This time, the teaser image was shared on Weibo by OnePlus president Louis Lee, spotted by Android Headlines, and it refers to the bezels surrounding the OnePlus 13T’s display.

In the post, Lee says (translated): “Many people asked how the front R corner of #OnePlus13T# is controlled? Because when we communicated with some small-screen users in the early stage, they said they liked the R corner processing of the iPhone, so we took a comparison with the iPhone 16 Pro.”

The post is accompanied by an image comparing the OnePlus 13T with the iPhone 16 Pro and it shows some very slim borders around its flat screen. It’s possible they are marginally slimmer than the iPhone 16 Pro, though there’s not a huge amount in it if they are.

Lee added in the post (translated): “Everyone can see that the OnePlus 13T not only has excellent border control, but also the visual perception of the R corner is also very comfortable, and it will not feel uncomfortable when used. When it is released, we will talk in detail about how good the “small and beautiful” OnePlus 13T feels.”

The action button that will replace the alert slider can also be seen in the image on the left edge, while the volume buttons and power button are shown on the right. 

The OnePlus 13T is expected to run on Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 8 Elite platform and feature a 6.31-inch OLED display. Rumors suggest it will have two 50-megapixel cameras on the rear and come with a 6,000mAh battery. It is due to launch in April, though whether it will arrive outside of China is currently unclear.

Apple wants you to verify your identity before you get Education discount on products
Apple moving the US Education Store off the honor system also seems about making a globally consistent verification infrastructure that could eventually support more aggressive Education Store expansion.
Computer, Electronics, Laptop

Getting an Apple Education discount in the United States used to be as simple as claiming you’re a student or a teacher; it didn’t need a formal verification. That era is officially over. 

Starting May 8, 2026, Apple now requires formal identity verification for all Education Store purchases in the US, ending the informal honor system that was in place for years (via MacRumors).

Whoop’s response to Fitbit Air and Google Health is real doctors, not just an AI chatbot.
In the race to own your health data, Google chose an AI, and Whoop chose a doctor. That single decision may define which fitness tracker serious health users reach for in 2026 and beyond.
A person wearing the Whoop 5.0.

Recently, Google launched the Fitbit Air as a direct rival to the Whoop screenless fitness band, rebranded the Fitbit app to Google Health, and released a Gemini-powered AI coach. Exactly one day later, Whoop has responded with on-demand video consultations with licensed clinicians for US users. 

The contrast is hard to ignore. While Google is betting on AI as your general health advisor, Whoop is doubling down on real, licensed doctors, and making the case that they can serve its fitness-focused users considerably better (via CNBC).

Holograms on your iPhone sound like science fiction. But according to a fresh leak, Apple may actually be working on it. A leaker on X known as "Schrödinger" claims Apple is developing a "Spatial iPhone" with a holographic display, reportedly being built by Samsung.

The display is codenamed "MH1" (Mobile Holographic 1), and the details being floated are quite wild. You should take all of this with appropriate skepticism, though, as none of it is officially confirmed.
