Apple unveiled the new AirPods Pro 3 during its "awe-dropping" event Tuesday. The latest iteration of the Pro earpods has improved noise cancellation, the ability to translate other languages in real time, better and clearer sound quality, and water resistance, so it can handle your sweatiest workouts. But the AirPods Pro's newest standout feature is its ability to read your heart rate using a small sensor implanted in the earpiece. That means during your daily walks or workouts, your AirPods w

PSA: The new Sleep Score feature works with third-party devices

Here’s one cool addition to yesterday’s information about how the Sleep Score feature works on older Apple Watch models: in fact, it even works with third-party accessories, provided they offer a sleep tracking feature. Here are the details. Sleep Score is not necessarily tied to the Apple Watch sleep tracking feature As noted by Rudrank Riyam on X, you don’t even need to own an Apple Watch to see your sleep score in the Health app on iOS 26: Sleep score is independent of the apple watch.

Welcome to the era of thin smartphones (whether you want it or not)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-08 08:07:29

We knew it was coming, and now it’s here. The iPhone Air, as rumored, is only 5.6mm thick and has fewer features than the base iPhone 17, which is $200 cheaper. Sure, it’s not the first slimline reinterpretation of a major smartphone — Samsung beat Apple to the punch with the Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year — but the influence of Apple can’t be underestimated. It’s too early to tell if the iPhone Air will shake up smartphones as the MacBook Air did with laptops, but it’s definitely a safer evo

The market of ultra-thin and lightweight phones is officially at its tipping point, as Apple threw its hat into the ring this week with the new iPhone Air. The newest and arguably most innovative iPhone features the company's slimmest design yet, measuring at around 5.6mm thin. How did the folks at Cupertino achieve such a record?

iPhone Air Hands-On: It’s So Hard to Resist the Reality Distortion Field

Okay, so I’ve had some sleep to rest up (just a little) from the craziness of yesterday’s Apple Event, but also time to collect some thoughts on the iPhone Air (starting at $999) that I got to try out after the keynote. There’s no doubt in my mind that Apple has captured the same type of attention with the iPhone Air’s super-thin design as it did when Steve Jobs pulled out the original MacBook Air from a manila envelope. The iPhone Air is just so unbelievably thin—I felt like I could easily snap

The iPhone 17 series is here, and it finally catches up to Android flagships with major upgrades

Android flagships, especially from Chinese OEMs, often pack the most bleeding-edge tech, making them the top choice for phone enthusiasts. Apple’s iPhone, on the other hand, is made for the average consumer — the phones don’t usually pack the latest technology, but their undeniable popularity sets them as the standard against which top Android flagships are judged.

Poll: Should brands include the camera bump when measuring phone thickness?

Apple It seems like there’s a new chapter in the phone thickness war. Samsung launched the slim Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year, and now Apple has launched the slightly slimmer iPhone Air. We’ve even seen this war extend to foldable phones in 2025. Apple claims the iPhone Air is just 5.6mm thin. However, much like the Galaxy S25 Edge and most other phones, this measurement doesn’t include the camera bump.

Unfortunately, one thing you won’t find on the standard Phone 17 is a telephoto camera. Apple has decided to skip this option yet again, and this is a frankly embarrassing decision in 2025.
