This week in Apple: A 4G-only iPhone 12 in 2021 possible, Apple sues some firms
July 28, 2025

In other Apple news, we saw Apple get into various bits of litigation with other companies, some crazy Fortnite drama, insanely-high iPhone shipment numbers, and news about the rumored Apple One subscription service.
