Sabrina Ortiz/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. ZDNET's key takeaways The iPhone 17 got major upgrades under the hood. At the $799 price point, users are getting Pro-level features. The iPhone 17 is available for purchase in-store starting Friday. Typically, base model iPhones are often overlooked. Apple's launch of the iPhone 17 lineup made that even more the case, with the ultra-thin iPhone Air and the Cosmic Orange iPhone 17 Pro stealing all the attention. Howe

Apple spotted filming in 3D at iPhone 17 launch

Apple may be making a special video for Apple Vision Pro owners. At any big Apple retail launch, Apple’s cameras are usually rolling. This typically results in a short montage video, such as this one recently shared by Tim Cook. However, during yesterday’s iPhone 17 and iPhone Air launch, something extra was spotted at Apple The Grove in Los Angeles: Apple is filming the iPhone 17 launch day in Immersive Spatial Video for the Apple Vision Pro! 🤩🤩 pic.twitter.com/jEViVRuo2L — Om Chachad (@Th

Vapor chamber tech keeps iPhone 17 Pro cool

news.ycombinator.com Gwendolyn Rak 2025-10-24 22:50:58

On 9 September, Apple introduced its newest lineup, including the iPhone 17 series. Much of the attention went to a new ultrathin model and a bright orange color option (a shade not dissimilar to that of the IEEE Spectrum logo). The new smartphones will also ship with the latest operating system and its “Liquid Glass” software design—but the liquid in these phones goes beyond software. The iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max contain thin, hermetically sealed chambers with a drop of water inside

iFixit iPhone Air teardown

news.ycombinator.com Elizabeth Chamberlain 2025-10-25 12:09:47

To be honest, we were holding our breath for the iPhone Air. Thinner usually means flimsier, harder to fix, and more glued-down parts. But the iPhone Air proves otherwise. Apple has somehow built its thinnest iPhone ever without tanking repairability. Just a few months ago, Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge pulled off a similar trick in an ultra-thin package. How’d they do it? And how’d Apple follow suit? The secret: Thinner can actually be more repairable, with clever design. A thin phone party! Fro

Anker debuts three new charging essentials for iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and more

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-25 08:54:46

Yesterday, Anker released its new 35W Nano charger for iPhone users. It’s rather slim, can charge up to two devices at once, and offers a built-in cable – which is rather nifty. This companies two additional charging products released earlier this month to accompany the new iPhone 17 launch, though the new products are for everyone. Typically, this would be a full hands-on post accompanied with a first impressions, but unfortunately USPS decided that I didn’t deserve to get my package on time.

It’s me, I’m the audience for the iPhone Air

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-25 07:00:48

Dhruv Bhutani / Android Authority When Apple announced the iPhone Air, most people saw compromises. Thinner means less battery. A single camera instead of the multi-camera Pro kit we’re all used to. A phone that, without a doubt, looks more like a fashion statement than a power user’s dream. But when I saw it, I saw something I don’t usually feel with new phones anymore. A minimalist phone that serves my essential needs and nothing more. As a millennial with Gen Z tendencies, it’s pretty clear

Three great MagSafe battery bank options for your iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and more

With iPhone Air, Apple reintroduced the MagSafe battery pack. It’s $99, and optimized specifically for iPhone Air. It’s rather slim, though it’s rather weak in capacity – making Qi2 alternatives all the more interesting. We’ll be delving into the top options on the market, just in case you want a MagSafe battery for your iPhone without spending $99, or aren’t buying the iPhone Air.

Despite the new iPhone 17 lineup only being available for just over a day, repair experts in China have already started to open up the new iPhone 17 Pro Max to see what’s possible. Yesterday, a YouTube channel known as DirectorFeng uploaded a video showcasing their journey in attempting to upgrade an iPhone 17 Pro Max to 2TB of storage, just hours after the phone was available.

Whether you picked up a new iPhone 17 the other day or you have an older model, you can pick up one of Apple's own chargers at a discount thanks to a rare sale. Apple's 25W MagSafe charger with a two-meter cable is on sale for $35 — 29 percent off its usual price. Believe it or not, this sale actually makes the two-meter version cheaper than the one-meter version. The latter at the moment would set you back $39.

This photo of the iPhone 17 Pro Max in Cosmic Orange was taken with the telephoto lens on an iPhone 17 Pro Max. Jason Hiner/ZDNET The idea of "tyranny of choice" says that having a set of good choices is supposed to let everyone find exactly what makes them most happy, but the reality is that having so many good choices can often lead to anxiety, indecisiveness, and discontent. If we apply this concept to the iPhone 17 lineup, then Apple is quite the tyrant this year. After all, the base model

Taking photos can be a fun way to save and share memories, but sometimes getting a good picture can be difficult. For example, if you're taking a selfie, you might find it hard to hold your phone at the right angle to get everyone in the shot while keeping your hand out of frame and still being able to press the capture button. But with Apple's newly released iOS 26, you can now use your AirPods to take photos -- so all you have to worry about is getting everyone's best angle. Apple released iO

Diminish Distractions by Setting Your iPhone to Gray Scale When You're Home

Phones are undeniably useful when you're out and about in the world. Directions, photos, music, messaging the people you're meeting up with, or even just scrolling while you're waiting for the bus—it's all great. The problem with phones, in my opinion, is when you're at home. Home is the place where you might rather spend your time reading a book, practicing an instrument, or messing around in the garden.

The wafer-thin iPhone Air is surprisingly strong

You’d be forgiven for assuming the iPhone Air would snap like a twig under pressure. It’s almost impossibly thin at just 5.6mm. But, its titanium frame is not only stronger than aluminum, it’s also more elastic. YouTuber JerryRigEverything demonstrates this with his usual bend test. While he’s able to get some slight bowing by pressing his thumbs into the center of the screen with all his might, it doesn’t crack and immediately returns to its original shape.

Sure, enough, he delivered. And the iPhone Air held up to Apple’s claims.

Tim Cook Swears Tariffs Aren’t to Blame for iPhone 17 Pro Price Hike

Earlier this month, Apple announced it would be raising the starting price for its most advanced iPhone by $100.
