Oppo’s Reno14 series is coming soon, as the Reno13 models were unveiled in China back in November and this family generally gets a new release every six months or so. According to a new rumor out of China, the Reno14 devices will be going with a theme of thin and light. They will also both have flat screens, a metal frame, and “full” water resistance, which we assume means at least IP68, if not both IP68 and IP69 as has been quite trendy recently.

Apple today provided developers with the first beta of an upcoming iOS 18.5 update for testing purposes. Work on iOS 18 is starting to wind down with iOS 19 set to be introduced in a couple of months, so iOS 18.5 has just a handful of minor new features.

We’ve rounded up what’s new so far, but Apple could add additional features in upcoming betas.

Mail

If you tap on the three dots icon in the upper right corner of the Mail app, you can now toggle Contact Photos on and off directly from this interface. There’s also an option to turn off Group By Sender.

Both of these options are in iOS 18.4, but the toggles are buried in the Mail section of the Settings app. They’re easier to get to with iOS 18.5 for those who want the Mail app to look more like the pre-iOS 18 Mail app.

You can still access these toggles in the Settings app, too.

AppleCare Info

In the Settings app, if you go to General and tap on AppleCare and Warranty, there’s now a banner with an ‌AppleCare‌ logo and an option to learn more about ‌AppleCare‌ coverage. There was no banner before.

If you go to your Apple Account and tap on a device in your device list, you’ll now see a new ‌AppleCare‌ option that you can tap into to get info on your ‌AppleCare‌ coverage. There’s also an option to Manage Plan from this interface if you have a renewing ‌AppleCare‌ plan.

Release Date

For the last three years, the x.5 updates have come out in May, specifically the second week of May. It’s likely Apple will stick to that same general release timeline, providing iOS 18.5 to the public in May.

Apple’s efforts to diversify its supply chain may have been for naught with the Trump administration’s new tariffs that target multiple countries where Apple sources components for its iPhones, iPads, and Macs.

Apple has worked to move some of its manufacturing to countries like India, Vietnam, and Thailand, all of which are facing steep tariffs in addition to China and Taiwan. There is a minimum 10 percent tariff for all U.S. trading partners, and “reciprocal tariffs” on several countries where Apple suppliers are located. Some of the tariffs:

• Vietnam – 46%
• Thailand – 36%
• China – 34%
• Taiwan – 32%
• India – 26%
• Japan – 24%
• Malaysia – 24%
• EU – 20%

As The New York Times notes, Apple is already contending with a 20 percent tariff in China, which is set to increase significantly. Taiwan, where Apple sources the Apple silicon chips that go into all of its devices, is facing a 32 percent tariff.

The last time Trump was in office, Apple was able to get tariff exemptions or avoid tariffs entirely for some products, but Trump claims that he will not provide exemptions this time around. Morgan Stanley estimates that devices imported from China will cost Apple an additional $8.5 billion annually without exemptions, though it is not clear if Apple would pass those costs to consumers with price increases.

Apple CEO Tim Cook has said in the past that the United States is not able to compete with China and other countries when it comes to manufacturing due to a lack of skilled workers with expertise in advanced tooling.

Apple stock is down 7.5 percent in after hours trading after the tariff announcements. The tariffs will go into effect on April 9, according to Trump.
