Spigen's newest case provides your iPhone with a vintage Macintosh appearance.

      The Classic LS case is available for iPhone 17 Pro models and is priced at $39.99.

      Spigen introduced its retro-themed case collection after the debut of the iPhone X in 2018. Initially, the company launched two models inspired by the design of the iPhone 2G and the iMac G3, but only the vibrant Classic C1 case has remained popular over time. The brand has since broadened the Classic C1 range to include newer iPhone models, the Mac Mini, and even an Apple Watch stand. Recently, it has introduced a new Mac-inspired case that draws inspiration from the Macintosh 128K.

      The new Spigen Classic LS case enhances nostalgia with its boxy design and various retro tech features. Available in a single beige color, it showcases tactile buttons reminiscent of a keyboard, a colorful retro Spigen logo, and a lanyard loop that evokes the floppy disk slot of the Macintosh 128K.

      The case features a dual-layer construction, comprising an outer polycarbonate layer and a soft TPU layer, providing substantial protection against scratches and drops. It has raised edges around the screen and camera bump to prevent scratches, built-in magnets for MagSafe compatibility, and a touch-sensitive cover for the Camera Control button that allows full functionality while protecting it.

      Take advantage of a bonus lanyard with the Spigen Classic LS.

      Early purchasers in the US can receive a matching lanyard on Amazon using the code HELLOMAC, while international customers can automatically receive it at checkout on Spigen’s website while supplies last. The Classic LS case costs $39.99 and is designed for the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. With its playful reference to Apple's history, the Classic LS serves as both a practical phone case and a conversation starter for retro tech enthusiasts.

      For those wanting a nostalgic burst of color, Spigen continues to offer the Classic C1 case inspired by the iMac G3. This option comes in four colors and is priced at $64.99 for the iPhone 17 Pro models.

      Apple is set to introduce encrypted RCS messaging for iPhone users communicating with Android devices.

      Evidence in the iOS 26.3 beta 2 suggests that end-to-end encryption for RCS messages is on the horizon, nearly a year after Apple announced its support for this feature. For iPhone users who exchange messages with those on Android, this could signify a significant privacy enhancement. Currently, Apple supports RCS for enriched cross-platform messaging, a feature introduced with iOS 18. However, these messages lack the same protection as iMessage, meaning that photos, videos, and texts transmitted via RCS are not end-to-end encrypted. The latest beta indicates that Apple may finally be preparing to enhance RCS security to be comparable to that of iMessage.

      In other news, the Galaxy S26 Ultra outperforms the OnePlus 15 in GeekBench 6 scores with a less powerful Snapdragon chipset.

      Preliminary benchmarks suggest that Samsung may prioritize smarter tuning, improved thermal management, and more consistent real-world performance over raw clock speeds for the Galaxy S26 Ultra, set to launch in February 2026. Both the Galaxy S26 Ultra and the Galaxy S26 Plus have been identified in a well-known benchmark database, Geekbench, with entries for the "SM-S948U" and the "SM-S942U," which are believed to be the U.S. models of the Ultra and Plus versions. According to tipster Ice Universe on X, the model number "SM-S48U" refers to the Galaxy S26 Ultra. The variant tested featured 12GB of RAM and operated on Android 16, utilizing an underclocked Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 chipset with two prime cores running at 4.19 GHz.

      Additionally, Samsung’s Galaxy Z Flip 8 foldable may not see significant camera upgrades.

      For those anticipating the Galaxy Z Flip 8 with hopes of an improved camera setup, there’s disappointing news. As reported by the Dutch publication Galaxy Club, the Flip 8 (expected to launch alongside the Fold 8) will maintain the same camera configuration as the Flip 7. For context, the Flip 7 features a dual-camera setup on the rear (or cover screen), consisting of a 50MP (f/1.8) main camera and a 12MP (f/2.2) ultrawide camera, along with a 10MP (f/2.2) selfie camera on the inner screen.
