The iPhone Air is slimmer than the competition, though has been beaten

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-01 15:11:20

It’s taken Apple 11 years to beat its own record, but the iPhone Air is now the thinnest iPhone ever, a record previously held by the iPhone 6 from way back in 2014. At 5.6mm, the iPhone Air is also slimmer than any of the current Android competition, though isn’t the thinnest phone ever launched … Macworld’s David Price rounded up the past and present competition, alongside a few more, uh, whimsical comparisons. The closest of the current competition is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge at 5.8mm.

Gemini for Home isn’t enough to revive Google’s forgotten Nest speakers

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-06 12:00:25

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Google Nest speakers are neat little utility tools that let you holler at Google Assistant anywhere in the house — add something to your shopping list before it slips your mind or run the Roomba in a certain room. They’re so handy that a lot of us just grab Nest Minis by the dozen and place them across our homes so that we can call Assistant from literally anywhere. However, Google’s home efforts have been stagnant for a few years, to the point where they’ve

The best smart home gadgets for 2025

Our favorite Google-powered smart display is the second-generation Nest Hub. It has a 7-inch screen, which makes it just big enough to fit in most rooms in the house. The size also makes it work well as a digital photo frame. You can set it up to pull in pictures of friends and family from your Google Photos library, and there’s a smart algorithm that automatically uses the best shots while avoiding the blurry ones.
