According to Tech Times, AAPL hit an all-time intraday high of around $317.40 on June 8 during the unveiling of Siri AI, before reversing to close at $301.54, down 1.89%. The slide continued over the following... Read more

Earlier this month, a rumor from China claimed Oppo's ColorOS 17 will be heavily inspired by Apple's Liquid Glass design language, borrowing quite a few elements from it while keeping the effect less transparent than what Apple did in iOS 26 (it's worth noting that Apple itself is toning down Liquid Glass' transparency in iOS 27 while also giving you a slider to customize it).
