Tech News Roundup — 13 July 2026

Hey everyone! Here's what's happening in the mobile and PC world this week. Lots of big moves — foldables, layoffs, lawsuits, and a chip supply crunch. Let's dive in.

Mobile News

• Samsung Galaxy Unpacked incoming (July 22) — The Galaxy Z Fold 8, Z Flip 8, and an all-new Z Fold Wide are expected. Biggest rumor: the Fold 8 may finally get a built-in S Pen slot — a first for the series!
• Motorola Edge 70 Max launches July 15 — Design and chipset already confirmed ahead of the official reveal.
• Nothing Phone (4b) is here — Transparent design, compact Glyph Bar, Snapdragon 6 Gen 4, 120Hz AMOLED, dual 50MP cameras — all at a budget price point.
• Pixel July update fixes the boot loop nightmare — Google's July 2026 patch (Android 17) covers Pixel 6 all the way to Pixel 10 and finally squashes the boot loop bug that bricked phones for months, plus widget and app-crash fixes.
• Foldable iPhone getting closer? — One of Apple's battery suppliers reportedly certified a pair of batteries together, a strong hint they're destined for a foldable device.

Computer & Chip News

• Apple sues OpenAI — Apple accuses OpenAI of using stolen trade secrets to develop its upcoming AI hardware. This one could get messy.
• Microsoft cuts ~4,800 jobs — Including major cuts to the Xbox division.
• Memory chip market on fire — SK Hynix surged 13% in its Nasdaq debut ("demand is enormous," says the chairman), while Micron rose 5% after committing billions more to US manufacturing.
• RAM shortage warning — AI data center demand is squeezing memory supplies. Manufacturers are prioritizing AI hardware over consumer devices, which means higher prices for PCs and phones — it's already thinning out this year's smartphone launch calendar.

What do you think?
Would an S Pen slot finally make you buy a Fold? And are you worried about RAM prices hitting your next PC build? Drop your thoughts below!
