Weekly point: Pi Network price hits bottom, iPhone 14 is out of stock in Vietnam
(Dan Tri) - Outstanding technology information last week included Pi Network's record price drop, folded iPhone revealing battery capacity information, and Viettel winning the auction with prefix number 095.
Pi Network price drops to record
According to data from the Bitget exchange, Pi Network price fell to 0.0963 USD on July 9. This is the lowest price of the Pi coin since it was listed on exchanges from February 2025.

At the time of its initial listing, the Pi Network coin was trading around 1 USD. Pi's price even increased to a peak of nearly 3 USD just a few days later.
However, Pi Network's growth did not last as long as many investors expected. After the above period, Pi Network continuously reduced prices, leading to the disappointment of the entire community. To date, the Pi coin has lost more than 99% of its value.
Revealing battery capacity on folding iPhone
In a post on the social network Weibo, the Digital Chat Station account (who often reveals leaked information about Apple) said that the folding screen iPhone will be equipped with 2 batteries. The rated battery capacity of these two batteries is 1,921mAh and 2,962mAh respectively. Accordingly, the total battery capacity of the device reaches 4,883mAh.

This dual battery design is suitable for smartphone models with horizontal folding screens. Compared to competitors on the market, the Google Pixel 10 Pro Fold has a total battery capacity of 5,015mAh, while the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 has a capacity of 4,400mAh.
According to Mark Gurman of Bloomberg, the folding screen iPhone (possibly named iPhone Fold or iPhone Ultra) and the iPhone 18 Pro duo will be introduced by Apple on September 8. The next backup plan may be September 9.
The number 095 is sold for 252.5 billion VND
On July 10, Viettel successfully auctioned mobile network code 95 at a price of 252.5 billion VND. Mobile network code is the code used to identify the network operator in the telecommunications system. Accordingly, code 95 corresponds to the prefix 095. Previously, the prefix 095 used to be associated with the SFone network.

According to a previous announcement from the Ministry of Science and Technology, the starting price for mobile network code 95 is set at 2.5 billion VND. Thus, the selling price is up to 250 billion VND different from the starting price.
After a successful auction and network code allocation, the winning bidder must make a written commitment to put the 095 number into operation and actual use within a maximum of 6 months.
iPhone 18 Pro Max continuously appears
According to MacRumors, the iPhone 18 Pro Max will be about 9mm thick and weigh 240g. This means the device will be about 0.25mm thicker and 7g heavier than the iPhone 17 Pro Max version.

This source said the increased thickness and weight are a direct result of the larger capacity battery. Accordingly, the iPhone 18 Pro Max will likely be equipped with a 5,567mAh battery, an increase of nearly 500mAh compared to the previous generation.
In addition, Apple is also expected to apply a new generation vapor chamber cooling solution using stainless steel on this product line. This may also be the cause of the increase in size and weight of the machine.
iPhone 14 stopped selling in Vietnam
Talking to Dan Tri reporters, representatives of some Apple authorized dealers (AAR) in Vietnam said that the supply of iPhone 14 is gradually becoming exhausted.

iPhone 14 was introduced by Apple in September 2022. This is also the last standard Apple product line that still uses the Lightning charging standard. In fact, this model was "discontinued" by Apple in February 2025 after the company introduced the iPhone 16e product line.
However, the product continues to be sold in some markets to expand the product segment, including Vietnam. According to shares from many systems, sales of iPhone 14 have always remained stable, even surpassing some newly launched models such as iPhone 16e.
Samsung and Google launched a preemptive strike against Apple
Apple will introduce the first folding screen iPhone in September. In that context, both Samsung and Google decided to launch a preemptive strike against their opponents by announcing new folding phone lines before Apple.

Accordingly, Samsung recently confirmed that the Galaxy Unpacked event will take place on July 22 in London. The Korean technology giant is expected to launch the Galaxy Z Flip8 series along with two different versions of the Galaxy Z Fold8.
Not staying out of the race, Google has also set August 12 to introduce the Pixel 11 generation, including the Pixel 11 Pro Fold model. Holding the event about a month earlier than Apple shows Google's determination to attract consumers' attention.
