iOS 27 set to be built for Apple’s most exciting product in years

Apple is set to begin work on the iOS 27 operating system, which will be a very different release for the brand as it’ll be designed for the upcoming iPhone Fold.

The iPhone maker is reportedly planning to begin work on the new operating system, which will include features designed specifically for the book-style foldable phone Apple is expected to launch next year.

According to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, the iOS 27 operating system will include features designed specifically for the phone, which is expected to rival the follow-up to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 and more of the best foldable options.

The so-called iPhone Fold is expected to address some of the common issues with foldables, such as the visibility of the crease on the inner display and the hinge mechanism. While these were issues with some of the original foldable devices, entries in the category recently have managed to alleviate these problems.

It could also ditch Face ID in favour of Touch ID within a side button. There’s very little doubt that this will be a pricey device, with estimates putting it at around $2000, which would make it the most expensive iPhone ever. Although we can see it being far more, especially if you’re after lots of internal storage.

As Apple prepares for this major shift, hopefully it’ll borrow many of the features that make iPadOS so good to improve the foldable experience. iPadOS 26, which will arrive in beta very soon for public testers, has the ability the resize apps and open them in a smaller window, something that would be very useful on a large-screen foldable.

Whatever Apple has in store for the iPhone Fold, it’ll be sure to come with a lot of anticipation and hype from fans and media alike. Before the expected 2026 release, we should see the iPhone 17 Air and iPhone 17 arrive alongside an iPad Pro M5.

  • Connect your phone to your computer with a USB cable to start tethering.
  • Turn on USB tethering in your phone’s settings to share its internet.
  • Update your operating system if you have trouble with USB tethering.

This article explains how to set up USB tethering on Windows 10 devices, allowing you to use your phone’s mobile connection to access the internet from your computer. Troubleshooting tips are included if something doesn’t work right.

How to Set Up USB Tethering on Windows 10

To begin, activate the hotspot feature on your phone. Your computer should manage the rest automatically. Here’s what to do:

Some carriers may charge fees for using a hotspot. Check with your carrier to confirm.

  1. Connect your phone to your computer using its USB cable.

    Newer phones typically use USB-C, but some still connect via micro USB or the Lightning connector. If your computer lacks a compatible port, an adapter is necessary.”

  2. Access your phone’s Settings app and navigate to Network & internet > Hotspot & tethering for Android, or go to Cellular > Personal Hotspot for iPhone..

  3. Select USB tethering to tether your Android, or choose Personal Hotspot to set up your iPhone as a hotspot. Your PC should now connect to the internet using your phone’s mobile connection.

Troubleshooting Windows 10 USB Tethering

USB tethering should function immediately once you toggle the hotspot on your phone. If it doesn’t, try these steps:

What Is USB Tethering?

Tethering is the process of sharing your phone’s mobile data to access the internet on another device, such as a laptop. You can also tether using Bluetooth, but USB tethering is the fastest and most effective method. That said, USB tethering can’t compete with the speeds of a solid Wi-Fi connection.

Be careful about how much data you use when tethered. Since many data plans charge incremental amounts based on data usage, watching videos, downloading files, or updating Windows on a tethered connection can quickly increase your phone bill. In some cases, it’s possible to reverse tether and share Wi-Fi from your computer to your phone to save data.

FAQ

  • Why is USB tethering not working?

    If USB tethering isn’t working, you have a connection problem. To fix it if USB tethering is not working, try disabling Wi-Fi, ensuring the USB cable is functional and connected properly, testing a different USB port, and restarting your device. You can also try updating the Windows tethering driver.

  • Why can’t I turn on USB tethering?

    It’s possible that you’ve changed carriers, and USB tethering was a function of your prior carrier. It’s also possible that the devices aren’t recognizing each other because of a faulty USB cable or port or another glitch.

  • How do I set up USB tethering in Windows 11?

    First, turn off Windows 11’s Wi-Fi and connect your smartphone via a USB cable. On your iPhone, activate your Personal Hotspot (or turn on USB tethering on Android). The Ethernet icon will appear in the taskbar near the clock after the connection is made.

159-pc Craftsman Standard (SAE) & Metric Polished Chrome Mechanics Tool Set w/ Hard Case

I had been torn between this and the 230 piece set (which contains a LOT of little items) which have both been $99 a lot of times (as recently as yesterday).

  • This 159 piece has 17 more standard sockets, and 8 more deep sockets. And deep sockets are pretty sparse in my whole tool collection.
  • But the 230 piece set has a lot more little/tiny cheaper things like 28 more hex keys and 46 more bits.
  • The 230 piece set does have 9 more combination wrenches though. But personally I use sockets more than wrenches, and I’ve got a million bits and hex keys already.

I was already leaning towards this one, but the extra $15 off (from what I’ve normally seen it go on sale for) has pushed me to pull the trigger on this set; checking camelcamelcamel, this is a low by $15.

It’s larger than I imagined. I have a smaller Craftsman set from 30 years ago, but had no idea if it had 40 or 100 items, I’m going to guess 40-50, so this will be nice.

I’ve got tool stuff in the garage/car, and then stuff in my 3rd floor condo. I’m TEMPTED to gather all the loose stuff (throw it in a spare tools box), then put one of these inside and one in the car/garage and have it nice and organized…

This is the third time I’m seen it posted to SlickDeals in the past week for this $84.15 price.
