Apple Makes Bold Claim for New A19 Pro Chip in iPhone Air and 17 Pro

When Apple releases a new iPhone, it's always quick to point out how much faster it is than last year's iPhone. Often, it boasts a big percentage jump in performance. After showing off iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro at its "awe dropping" September event, Apple did just that with the new A19 Pro chip. Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro offers up to 40% better sustained performance than the iPhone 16 Pro. Regarding the iPhone Air's AI performance, Apple estimates that the new neural accelerators located

I Held Apple's Wildly Thin iPhone Air, and I'm Already Obsessed

Apple debuted its super-slim iPhone Air on Tuesday, and after getting my hands on the device at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, I'm amazed at just how thin and lightweight it really is. At just 5.6mm thick and 165 grams, it's one of those phones you may just have to hold to understand its appeal. I look forward to finding out if what's on the inside lives up to that show-stopping design. With the iPhone Air in one hand and my iPhone 16 Pro Max in the other, the difference between the two d

I'm a Photographer and YouTuber and I'm Stoked for the iPhone 17 Pro's Cameras

At its "awe dropping" event Tuesday, Apple whipped the covers off its latest iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max, which pack a whole host of updates, including a divisive new orange color. But as a professional photographer it's the cameras I'm especially excited about and the new Pro models boast a plethora of updates that have got the tech nerd in me quivering with excitement like a jelly on a balance board. Let's dive in and find out more. Longer telephoto zoom First up, the telephoto zoom. While the

CNET Debates: Is Apple's New Crossbody Strap a Great Idea or a Terrible One?

One thing you can be sure of during an Apple event is that it will generate immense quantities of discourse among CNET's seasoned nerds -- and no, we don't always agree with one another. Is the iPhone Air totally pointless and uncalled for, or the best design innovation since very thinly sliced bread? Both can be true, depending on whom you ask. Watch this: Everything Announced at Apple's iPhone 17 Event in 7 Minutes 07:18 Among the many announcements on Tuesday that sparked conflicting opini

Watch All of the Big Moments From Apple's iPhone 17 Event

Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event keynote has come to a close with the reveals of the latest iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches.

Hands-on with Apple’s new iPhones: Beauty and the beast and the regular-looking one

CUPERTINO, Calif.—We're a long way from the days when a new iPhone launch just meant one new phone. It shifted to "basically the same phone in two sizes" a decade or so ago, and then to a version of "one lineup of regular phones and one lineup of Pro phones" in 2017 when the iPhone 8 was introduced next to the iPhone X. But thanks to Apple's newly introduced iPhone Air, the iPhone 17 lineup gives new phone buyers more choices and trade-offs than they've ever had before. Apple's phones are now a

Here’s a first look at the iPhone 17

Apple’s big fall event just wrapped up, and we rushed out of the Steve Jobs Theater to get our hands on the latest iPhones. Here’s a look at the new iPhone 17, Apple’s base model this year, which is joined by the thinner iPhone Air and beefier iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max — there’s no Plus this time around. The first place to start is the rear camera. Not because a lot has changed here, but rather because it hasn’t: while the iPhone 17 Pro and Air have both adopted new horizontal camera “plateaus,

Help, I have been charmed by the iPhone Air

It’s my fifth year in a row writing about Apple’s annual iPhone event, and I have never actually been tempted to buy the latest and greatest iPhone. Like my colleague Julie Bort, I’ve always waited to upgrade my phone until it’s absolutely necessary. But then, the iPhone Air came along. I want it.

What’s the battery life of the new iPhone Air? Here’s what Apple says

The new iPhone Air features a stunningly thin design, comprising a 5.6mm thick chassis with a protruding camera plateau. But ultra-thin phones come with tradeoffs, and there’s been a lot of consternation about the battery life of the iPhone Air. Here’s what Apple says about the kind of battery life you can expect from the new iPhone Air … Firstly, if you watch Apple’s event video or read the press release, Apple says the iPhone Air has great “all-day battery life”.

The iPhone 17 Pro has an aluminum case and vapor chamber cooling

While all eyes are likely on the iPhone Air this year, Apple is introducing several new features in the iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max that should keep its more demanding users satisfied.

Verge staffers react to the iPhone Air: what we love and don’t love

Determined to give us something new to talk about, Apple has introduced its ultra-thin iPhone Air.

iPhone 17 Pro reintroduces a glass cutout for 5G mmWave antenna on U.S. models

Apple introduced its iPhone 17 lineup today, and the new iPhone 17 Pro models include an interesting new design quirk that the company just got rid of with the iPhone 16 lineup: a glass cutout for 5G mmWave passthrough. This time though, it’s on the top of the phone. Ever since iPhone 12, Apple has included 5G mmWave support on the iPhones in the US, with the exception of iPhone 16e and the new iPhone Air. On iPhone 12 through 15, there was a glass cutout on the right side of the phone for thi

Apple’s hotly-anticipated Apple event was chock-full of news about updates to AirPods, the Apple Watch, the new suite of iPhones, and more.

Apple’s New Accessory Lets You Wear Your iPhone Like a Purse

Did Anyone Ask for a Super Thin iPhone Air?

The star of Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event was undeniably the iPhone Air, a slim, much-rumored version of its new iPhone 17. It's only 5.6mm thick -- thinner than three stacked credit cards -- if you ignore the huge camera bump. But does anyone actually want a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro chip. It's also got a 48-megapixel fusion camera and a 12-megapixel 2x telephoto camera.

I'm Dying to Touch the New iPhone Air, and I Bet You Are, Too

Even if you're an Android user, you know very well what a standard iPhone looks like. Sure, there are slight variations but for the past few generations, Apple hasn't exactly done anything radical to the design of its phones -- so much so that most people wouldn't necessarily be able to tell whether you have the latest version of its flagship or not. But at Tuesday's Apple event, which brought us the iPhone 17 lineup along with the AirPods Pro 3 and the Apple Watch 11, the company has shaken th
