Apple found clever iPhone Air innovation for a thinner USB-C port

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-06 04:42:48

Last year when rumors started swirling around Apple’s plans for an ultra-thin new iPhone, one limitation on thinness was expected to be the USB-C charging port. But it turns out, Apple had a clever solution to make iPhone Air’s USB-C port unusually thin: 3D-printed titanium. iPhone Air uses 3D-printed titanium USB-C port that’s thinner and stronger Last year, Apple shipped its thinnest product of all time with the M4 iPad Pro. As a daily user of the new ultra-thin iPad, I quickly noticed that

The iPhone 17 event last Tuesday revealed the latest Phone 17 lineup — including the ultra-thin iPhone Air. (You can catch up on everything Apple announced or rewatch the full iPhone 17 launch.) The company rounded out its announcements with three new Apple Watch models, as well as the all-new AirPods Pro 3. The even better news is that many of us sticking with older iPhones will finally be able to install iOS 26 in just a few days: It arrives Monday, September 15, alongside all of Apple's othe

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max: I compared every model, and here's my buying advice

zdnet.com Cesar Cadenas 2025-10-06 04:48:00

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Apple's iPhone 17 lineup has officially arrived, bringing four new devices to the table. As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But this generation is shaking things up by introducing the iPhone Air -- a new addition that Apple says is "the thinnest iPhone ever made." And for the first time in several generations, there will not be a "Plus" model. Also: Apple Events live updates: iPhone 17, iPho

Apple’s Big Bet to Eliminate the iPhone’s Most Targeted Vulnerabilities

wired.com Lily Hay Newman 2025-10-06 03:59:23

Apple launched a slate of new iPhones on Tuesday loaded with the company's new A19 and A19 Pro chips. Along with an ultra-thin iPhone Air and other redesigns, the new phones come with a less flashy upgrade that could turn out to be the true killer feature. A security improvement called “Memory Integrity Enforcement” combines always-on chip-level protections with software defenses in an effort to harden iPhones against the most common—and commonly exploited—software vulnerabilities.

Apple’s faster MagSafe Charger can now charge other phones at 25W

theverge.com Andrew Liszewski 2025-10-06 04:36:20

The new charger, which was first leaked last June through Taiwan’s National Communications Commission’s website, is now available through Apple’s online store with a 1-meter USB-C cable for $39, or a 2-meter cable for $49. Apple introduced 25W wireless charging with the iPhone 16 ahead of the Qi2.2 specification being officially introduced early this year, which is why the faster rate was only available when using Apple’s own wireless charger. Now that the iPhone 17 lineup is Qi 2.2 compatible

Forget the new AirPods Pro 3, I’d stick with your smartwatch for heart rate tracking

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-06 08:00:09

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android Authority Apple’s newest AirPods Pro 3 arrive with sleek design upgrades and plenty of hype. What caught my attention, though, was a pair of earbuds creeping into fitness tracking territory. This isn’t the first attempt. We’ve seen brands shove heart rate sensors into shoppers’ ears before, and by all means, shoot your shot. Sure, I’d be fairly weirded out if someone took my pulse in my earlobe, but earbuds with built-in sensors sound futuristic, and frankly, convenient

As Apple again extends free satellite messaging, I’m doubling down on my prediction

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-06 08:21:56

Apple’s satellite messaging service was a key feature of the iPhone 14. Initially limited to providing an emergency service for those outside cellular coverage areas, it was subsequently extended to offer roadside assistance cover for mechanical problems and messaging with family and friends too. Although initially described as free for the first two years only, Apple subsequently extended free coverage – and has just done so again … As Macworld notes, here are the latest free periods: iPhone

Apple Free Satellite Service Extended Again for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 Owners

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-06 07:00:08

Off the grid doesn't mean out of luck. Apple's satellite service, which connects directly to an overhead satellite when there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, will continue to be free for at least another year. The feature, a notable selling point for Apple's devices, allows iPhone users to text family and request emergency help when they're out of range. Apple's free satellite connection service was due to be cut off this year for current owners of iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models, but the time

iPhone Air or 17 Pro? Apple Doesn't Make the Preorder Choice Easy

Europe, the bloc with 24 official languages and 287 spoken in total, won't get Apple's Live Translation with AirPods feature for now. "Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU," the company said on its iOS feature availability page. No reason was given, but it may have to do with the EU's strict rules around artificial intelligence and how it impacts privacy. If that's the case, Apple may be waiting for the EU

AI's $344B 'Language Model' Bet Looks Fragile

Every investor knows not to put all your eggs in one basket. So why is Silicon Valley betting on just one way to build artificial intelligence? This year the world’s four largest tech firms will spend $344 billion on AI, mostly on data centers used to train and run so-called large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT that can process text, audio and visual content. The technology is largely underpinned by the same technique of predicting tokens that appear next in a sequence.

Apple’s new live translation feature for AirPods won’t be available in the EU at launch

In Brief One of the headlining features of Apple’s new AirPods Pro 3 was the ability to translate incoming audio in real time, but it seems the feature won’t work in the European Union at launch. On its official page detailing the features available on iOS 26, the company said EU residents or those with EU Apple IDs won’t be able to use live translation, which is powered by Apple Intelligence and will also be coming to AirPods 4 and AirPods Pro 2.

The Apple Watch SE 3 May Be the Biggest Underdog of Apple's Entire Fall Lineup

But the real headliner (at least in this frugal girl's book), was the one I least expected: the Apple Watch SE 3.

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP
