Samsung has just announced its fourth Unpacked event of the year, and it comes just five days before Apple’s own major event.
Samsung’s Unpacked event will take place on Thursday, September 4. Check below for full details on how to watch.
The company announced the event on its social channels on last week. A short video shows a close-up of mobile camera lenses and ends with the tagline, “AI for all,” suggesting the event could showcase new AI-powered camera smarts. Another post includes the hashtag “AI.”

Also, with Samsung having unveiled its latest flagship phones at Unpacked events in January and July, next week’s event could see it take the wraps off new tablets in the form of the Galaxy Tab S11 and S11 Ultra. Digital Trends recently reported on what we can expect with the premium Galaxy Tab S11 Ultra, which is expected to give Apple’s iPad Pro a run for its money.
There’s also a chance that the event will be used to officially unveil Samsung’s highly anticipated tri-fold phone, after all, multiple reports have been suggesting the company wants to launch it before the end of this year. Well, all will be revealed in just a few days from now.
Unlike its most recent Unpacked in New York City where it unveiled its latest foldable phones, Samsung’s next Unpacked will not be an in-person event, with everyone invited to watch a webcast instead.
The stream will start at 5:30 a.m. ET (2:30 a.m. PT) on Thursday, September 4. No, that’s not great if you’re in the U.S. and like to sleep at regular hours. For Europe-based tech fans, however, the webcast will begin at a much more suitable hour, for example, 10:30 a.m. if you’re in the U.K.
You can watch the Unpacked event via Samsung’s YouTube page or by visiting Samsung’s website. If you miss the webcast because you’re fast asleep or are just busy doing other things, then check back here for Digital Trends’ full round-up on what’s revealed.
Affinity’s new all-in-one creative app is finally coming to the iPad, nearly a year after Canva launched the redesigned desktop version for Mac and Windows. Creatives have been asking for the iPad release ever since, especially because files created in the new Affinity app cannot be opened in the older V2 iPad apps.
Affinity already has Photo, Designer, and Publisher apps on iPad, but the new release combines those tools into the same unified app that Canva launched on desktop last year.
Touchscreen laptops have been around for years. You can get them in all sizes and shapes. Just not from Apple. For years, the Cupertino giant has treated the idea of a touchscreen MacBook the way I treat a meeting that could have been an email: with open contempt. However, Wednesday looks like the day the company could finally change its mind.
The latest Apple invite puts the “Pro and Tell” showcase in Los Angeles at 10 a.m. PT (1 p.m. ET) on October 28, 2026. Instead of a regular live-streamed keynote, it is an invitation-only, hands-on event for a handful of press and creators (similar to what the company did for the MacBook Neo earlier this year).
Apple has just launched its latest iPad mini with a notable set of upgrades, including an OLED screen, improved speakers, and a more resilient build. It also gets a new chip, and the whole package costs $200 more than its predecessor. But if you look closely at Apple’s online store, you’ll realize that $699 isn’t enough to get you the most powerful version of the A20 Pro chip inside this tablet. In fact, even if you pay $800 for the 256GB model, you still won’t get the beefiest variant. Only when you jump to the 512GB trim, which costs an absurd $999, do you get the most powerful flavor of the A20 Pro.
The $999 model gets more than extra storage
