Apple a conclu sa semaine d'annonces avec le lancement du MacBook Neo, ordinateur portable le moins cher de son histoire. Après l'iPhone 17e, l'iPad Air et les nouveaux MacBook Pro et Air M5, la marque boucle trois jours de révélations.

At the 2026 Mobile World Congress (MWC), the Hong Kong-based company Tecno showcased its new “Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology,” a concept designed to transform a standard smartphone into a photography tool. The system relies on a remarkably slim base device that magnetically snaps onto various hardware modules to expand its capabilities:

Core Concept: “The Phone That Grows on Demand”

• Ultra-Thin Base: The main smartphone is just 4.9mm thick, featuring a matte glass back divided into eight modular zones to guide accessory alignment.
• Hybrid Connection: It uses a rectangular magnetic array for physical attachment, pogo-pins for power delivery, and a combination of Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and mmWave for high-bandwidth, low-latency wireless data transfer.
• Dual Aesthetics: Two design variants were presented: the Atom Edition (clean, silver-aluminum with red accents) and the Moda Edition (a bolder, “geek-inspired” look).

Key modular attachments:

• Telephoto Lens: Acts as a standalone imaging system with its own sensor, using the phone’s display as a live viewfinder for professional-grade photography.
• Action Camera: A module designed for rugged, versatile shooting angles that can even function independently from the phone.
• Power Bank: At 4.5mm thick, these 3,000mAh packs are stackable, allowing users to combine multiple units to significantly increase battery life without excessive bulk.
• Gaming & Utility: Other modules include a dedicated game controller, a high-performance microphone (with an attachable “dead cat” for wind noise), storage expansion, and a Wi-Fi router extension.

Press release:

HONG KONG, Feb. 25, 2026 – AI-driven innovative technology brand TECNO is set to unveil its groundbreaking Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology at MWC 2026. This concept, embodied by TECNO Modular Phone, represents TECNO’s pioneering exploration of the next-generation form of smartphones, where hardware expansion is instantaneous through magnetic attachment and intelligent connectivity. Designed to bridge the gap between escalating AI computing demands and the spatial constraints of modern smartphones, the platform will allow users to transform their devices into modular powerhouses. Attendees will witness a customizable modular suite, enabling the seamless attachment and removal of slim, high-performance modules tailored to individual needs.

Unlike traditional smartphones locked into fixed feature sets, TECNO’s modular system offers ultra-thin, flexible modules that empower creators and professionals to tailor their devices to any scenario. This reconfigurable vision is embodied in two distinct design interpretations of the Modular Phone. The ATOM edition of TECNO Modular Phone follows the philosophy of “Rational Order with Personal Expression,” featuring a clean silver-aluminum body and signature red accents. The MODA edition of TECNO Modular Phone offers a bold, geek-inspired aesthetic. Both models frame modularity as a platform for lasting personal choice, embodying TECNO’s commitment to technology that grows with its users.

“We believe the ultimate goal of technology is not to create a static masterpiece, but to offer an extension of human freedom. By pioneering this modular architecture, we are breaking the constraints of fixed hardware and returning the power of choice to the user,” said Leo Li, TECNO Product Head of Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology. “This is more than a leap in connectivity; it is an experiment in mobile liberation, where the device is no longer defined by its factory form, but by the user’s intent in every moment.”

A Moment-To-Moment Modular Ecosystem

Built on TECNO’s Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology, the ecosystem currently features around ten high-performance modules, designed to meet users wherever they are in life and evolve alongside their shifting needs and surroundings. Whether capturing professional photography, gaming, communicating off-grid, or extending battery life, the modular system offers unmatched freedom to configure a personalized stack.

The ultra-thin POWER BANK effectively doubles usable power, supplying energy seamlessly to both the smartphone and attached accessories. Complementing this is the ACTION CAMERA, which unlocks new creative workflows and shooting angles without compromising the phone’s lightness. For professional imaging demands, TECNO’s TELEPHOTO LENS acts as a standalone system using the phone’s display as a viewfinder, providing low-latency live previews and instant captures. This Customizable Modular Suite is not just a collection of accessories, but a dynamic toolkit, allowing users to carry only what they need, when they need it.

Innovative Design and Effortless Connectivity

Central to TECNO’s modular concept is a breakthrough in ultra-thin industrial design that redefines how expandable hardware feels in daily use. The base smartphone measures just 4.9mm thick, with the POWER BANK at an ultra-slim 4.5mm. Even when combined, the total thickness remains comparable to typical smartphones, ensuring modular expansion feels natural, preserving portability and simplicity.

The smartphone features a high-quality glass back panel with a laminated anti-glare treatment, creating a soft, matte finish, while a polished metal frame adds durability and refined visual contrast. Subtle lines across the phone’s back divide it into eight modular zones, guiding accessory placement and alignment without sacrificing the clean aesthetic.

A hybrid connection architecture supports this design, featuring a precision-engineered rectangular magnetic array for secure, intuitive module attachment, paired with physical pogo-pin connectors for efficient, low-heat power delivery. Data transmission seamlessly switches among Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication, enabling higher bandwidth and lower-latency interaction. This invisible, automatic process allows users to enjoy instant pairing, freeing them from technical complexity to focus on their experience.

Building a Modular Platform for the Future

TECNO’s Modular Magnetic Interconnection Technology is designed as a scalable platform built to evolve with future innovations. By establishing a consistent physical and connectivity foundation, TECNO opens possibilities for expanded modular experiences across AI-powered tools, storage expansion, lifestyle-focused accessories, and beyond. While the interface is proprietary, TECNO envisions the potential for future solutions that extend beyond its ecosystem, enabling broader compatibility and utility across use cases.

Presented as a concept platform at MWC 2026, the modular ecosystem demonstrates TECNO’s long-term design thinking and commitment to technology that is adaptable, personal, and responsive to real-world needs, as technologies, materials, and ecosystems continue to mature.

Security researchers say a highly sophisticated iPhone exploitation toolkit dubbed "Coruna," which possibly originated from a U.S. government contractor, has spread from suspected Russian espionage operations to crypto-stealing criminal campaigns. Apple has patched the exploited vulnerabilities in newer iOS versions, but tens of thousands of devices may have already been compromised. An anonymous reader quotes an excerpt from Wired's report: Security researchers at Google on Tuesday released a report describing what they're calling "Coruna," a highly sophisticated iPhone hacking toolkit that includes five complete hacking techniques capable of bypassing all the defenses of an iPhone to silently install malware on a device when it visits a website containing the exploitation code. In total, Coruna takes advantage of 23 distinct vulnerabilities in iOS, a rare collection of hacking components that suggests it was created by a well-resourced, likely state-sponsored group of hackers. In fact, Google traces components of Coruna to hacking techniques it spotted in use in February of last year and attributed to what it describes only as a "customer of a surveillance company." Then, five months later, Google says a more complete version of Coruna reappeared in what appears to have been an espionage campaign carried out by a suspected Russian spy group, which hid the hacking code in a common visitor-counting component of Ukrainian websites. Finally, Google spotted Coruna in use yet again in what seems to have been a purely profit-focused hacking campaign, infecting Chinese-language crypto and gambling sites to deliver malware that steals victims cryptocurrency. Conspicuously absent from Google's report is any mention of who the original surveillance company "customer" that deployed Coruna may have been. But the mobile security company iVerify, which also analyzed a version of Coruna it obtained from one of the infected Chinese sites, suggests the code may well have started life as a hacking kit built for or purchased by the US government. Google and iVerify both note that Coruna contains multiple components previously used in a hacking operation known as "Triangulation" that was discovered targeting Russian cybersecurity firm Kaspersky in 2023, which the Russian government claimed was the work of the NSA. (The US government didn't respond to Russia's claim.) Coruna's code also appears to have been originally written by English-speaking coders, notes iVerify's cofounder Rocky Cole. "It's highly sophisticated, took millions of dollars to develop, and it bears the hallmarks of other modules that have been publicly attributed to the US government," Cole tells WIRED. "This is the first example we've seen of very likely US government tools -- based on what the code is telling us -- spinning out of control and being used by both our adversaries and cybercriminal groups." Regardless of Coruna's origin, Google warns that a highly valuable and rare hacking toolkit appears to have traveled through a series of unlikely hands, and now exists in the wild where it could still be adopted -- or adapted -- by any hacker group seeking to target iPhone users. "How this proliferation occurred is unclear, but suggests an active market for 'second hand' zero-day exploits," Google's report reads. "Beyond these identified exploits, multiple threat actors have now acquired advanced exploitation techniques that can be re-used and modified with newly identified vulnerabilities."

Apple today announced the iPhone 17e with support for MagSafe and an upgraded A19 chip. The base model also gets a bump to 256GB of storage at $599, and Apple is equipping the device with its new scratch-resistant Ceramic Shield 2 glass that's supposedly 3x more durable than the 16e. Macworld reports: MagSafe would normally mean significantly faster wireless charging speeds too: the 16e is capped at 7.5W, whereas recent iPhones can wirelessly charge using MagSafe at up to 22W or even 25W. Unfortunately the iPhone 17e has not been given access to the full extent of MagSafe's powers in this regard, and has a limit of 15W. That's the same as MagSafe on the iPhones 12 through 15, and remains an improvement on the 16e, but is still disappointing. [...] It was also expected that the 17e would get a new processor, as this is a standard upgrade for almost every refresh of almost every Apple product. The iPhone 16e came with an A18 chip; the 17 has an A19, which, according to Apple, "delivers exceptional performance for everything users do." Of course that depends on the user and their needs, and it's important to point out that, just like last year, Apple has chosen to use "binned" units of the chip in order to save money. Binned chips have failed manufacturing tests in some minor way and don't have the full complement of cores. [...] And although the cameras are still disappointingly few in number -- one on the front and one on the back -- the wording for the portrait mode has been updated from "Portrait mode with Depth Control" (the same as on the iPhone 12) to "Next-generation portraits with Focus and Depth Control" (same as on the iPhone 17). This appears to highlight the fact that you can change the focus point. The 17e is available in white, black, and soft pink starting at $599.
