Apple has long been rumored to be working on a foldable iPhone , but a new report suggests we may finally have a launch window. According to Ming-Chi Kuo , Apple is targeting a Q3-Q4 2026 release for its first foldable device, putting it years behind competitors like Samsung, Huawei, OPPO, and other Android manufacturers. Foxconn is reportedly working on the assembly, though many hardware details are yet to be finalized. The hinge design, among other things, are allegedly still in development.

Based on Kuo’s previous report, Apple’s foldable is expected to feature a 7.8-inch inner display, a 5.5-inch outer screen, and a Touch ID sensor on the side. In addition, it will also include a titanium alloy frame, dual camera system, and 5mm thinness when unfolded. While Apple has yet to confirm the foldable iP...
Philippine low-cost airline Cebu Pacific has reiterated its power bank rules and policies for its flights in a Facebook post to ensure safety for everyone and prevent inconveniences during boarding. This is in response to the earlier reminder from the Civil Aviation Authority of the Philippines (CAAP) regarding power banks.
According to Cebu Pacific’s post, power banks can only be placed in your hand-carry bag and cannot be used during a flight. This means you shouldn’t put them in your check-in baggage. You can bring up to 100Wh (watt-hour) of lithium-ion power banks without securing any approval; for Lithium metal, you can bring up to 2g lithium per cell.
For power banks within the 100Wh to 160Wh range, you’ll have to request approval at the check-in counter. Those above 160Wh are prohibited, so it’s better to leave them at home to avoid any delays.

Since many power bank manufacturers are already aware of the limitations of their products on airlines, they typically print both the watt-hour (Wh) rating and the milliampere-hour (mAh) rating of the power bank in small text on the side or back.
For those without printed ratings, Cebu Pac also shared the formula to compute your power bank’s watt-hour (Wh) rating, as many power banks only display the milliampere-hour (mAh) rating. To convert it, here’s the formula:
- Wh = (mAh x voltage) / 1,000
The mAh is often printed in large letters, for example, 10,000 mAh or 20,000 mAh. The voltage may be 3.7V or 5.0V for lithium-ion batteries. For instance, a 20,000 mAh power bank at 3.7V is equivalent to 74 Wh.
Cebu Pac also shared some packing tips:
- Power banks and spare lithium batteries are not allowed in the overhead bin or under the seat.
- They must be hand-carried and packed securely – tape the terminals, use original boxes, or place them in plastic bags to avoid any risks while flying.
- Damaged, defective, or recalled batteries are also prohibited.
These policies are often similar to those of most airlines, with some minor differences. If you’re boarding a different airline, it’s best to check with them or their website first.
