iPhone Air vs. iPhone 17 Pro Max: I compared the two flagship models, and here's the winner

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's iPhone 17 lineup brings some of the biggest design changes the smartphone series has seen in years, and no two models better highlight this shift than the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max. The iPhone Air is one of the thinnest smartphones Apple has ever made, made for those who value a sleek, portable design. Meanwhile, the iPhone 17 Pro Max doubles down on power with a cutting-edge camera system and a new vapor c

My First Year Without an iPhone

news.ycombinator.com Katie Lowe 2025-10-01 18:57:28

Last October, I switched off my iPhone, removed the SIM card, and inserted it into a Nokia 2780 that I ordered off the internet. I deactivated and archived my Instagram, left all the group chats, and got in touch with my European friends through email. Now, a full calendar year later, I can say without hesitation that I am never, ever going back. My north star Flip phones are somehow a contentious topic. This is because anyone that goes against the status quo creates a hostile environment. It’

Spotify Free now lets you play a specific track on demand

Spotify Free comes with enough limitations that the company hopes it will persuade you to upgrade to a premium subscription. But one of the four limits is being removed from today … Unlike Apple Music, which offers paid subscriptions only (aside from a limited free trial), Spotify offers the choice of free and premium subscriptions.

Free Spotify users can finally listen to any track immediately

There must be something in the water at Spotify HQ. Less than a week after delivering long-promised lossless audio, the company has another treat. Free listeners can finally listen to any track they want. After enhancing Premium, perhaps Spotify figured it could add a free perk without shedding subscribers. Spotify accounts on the free plan can now choose any track and immediately listen to it. Previously, that was paywalled for Premium subscribers. Non-paying ones had to shuffle through an alb

iPhone 17 Pro vs. iPhone 14 Pro: Why I'm upgrading my three-year-old model

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. As a current iPhone 14 Pro Max user, I still feel like my three-year-old iPhone gives me everything I need from a smartphone. Sure, it may still have a Lightning Port and no support for Apple Intelligence, but I get around those very minor discomforts by using a MagSafe charger and ChatGPT. Truth be told, the Apple Intelligence features haven't wowed me enough to make me fork over $1,000 on a newer iPhone. Also: Everything announced at Appl

I'm skipping the iPhone 17 Pro this year - 3 reasons the base model makes more sense

iPhone 17 demand strong, says Kuo, with the Pro Max the star performer

Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo suggests that demand for the new iPhone 17 lineup is strong, with initial orders beating out those for last year’s iPhone 16. He points to a clear indication that the iPhone 17 Pro Max is the star performer, although does acknowledge that demand for the iPhone Air may become clearer over time … To conduct his analysis, Kuo looked at two factors. First, what he believes he knows about production volumes for each model via supply chain sources. Second, how quickly ship

Adamya Sharma / Android Authority Remember a time when we used to call devices with 7-inch screens tablets? Does your memory go back to the era of phablets — phones with a “large” 5.5-inch display? Screen sizes have gone up so much that almost 7 inches is now considered a standard phone size, while we call 6 inches mini. I fall in the former category: I used the iPhone 16 Pro Max, a massive brick of a phone, for the majority of the last year. And if my wrist had vocal cords, you could hear it s

Rumor: smaller Dynamic Island but no under-screen Face ID for iPhone 18

As Apple continues towards their goal of a true all-screen iPhone, it looks like the iPhone 18 will get them one step closer. There have long been conflicting rumors on when the Dynamic Island might finally see a design update. Most recently, it was rumored that the iPhone 17 may have a smaller Dynamic Island, but that of course didn’t pan out. However, according to Instant Digital on Weibo, the iPhone 18 lineup will see a narrower Dynamic Island cutout, but will not yet be making the move to a

iPhone 17 might seem like the most boring model this year, but it’s a silent winner

Apple wrapped it its ‘Awe dropping’ launch event for the new iPhone models, Apple Watches, and AirPods Pro 3 yesterday. While the new iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro are much more interesting – I think the base model iPhone 17 will actually end up being a sleeper hit.

My thoughts on renting versus buying

news.ycombinator.com Miles Barr 2025-10-02 08:36:14

I’ve read numerous articles about renting versus buying and most dive into financial projections while completely missing the bigger picture. In my view, behavioral and emotional factors have a far larger impact on the financial outcomes of renting versus buying than the math. The math can always be made to “work” if you’re willing to adjust what or where you rent or buy. But the real differences aren’t captured in spreadsheets. They come from how people actually make decisions, and how those d
