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.

Tuesday's "awe dropping" Apple event keynote has come to a close with the reveals of the latest iPhones, AirPods and Apple Watches. As it turns out, many of the leaks and rumors that widely circulated before the event turned out to be fairly accurate, though there were still a good amount of surprises. We were treated to a presentation that included new information about the AirPods Pro 3, three new Apple Watches (including an Apple Watch SE and an Apple Watch Ultra), the iPhone 17, iPhone Air

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

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-28 10:59:42

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

Reddit bug caused lesbian subreddit to be labeled as a place for “straight” women

Reddit has addressed a problem where the description of subreddits originally written by moderators appeared differently—and, often, inaccurately—on Reddit’s Android app. For weeks, the problem was largely suspected to be caused by Reddit clumsily using generative AI to create new subreddit descriptions. However, Reddit says that the changes were the fault of a bug tied to its AI-powered translation technology. Reports of subreddits suddenly having inaccurate summaries when viewed on Reddit’s A

Apple’s N1 chip extends its custom silicon into Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and Thread

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-28 11:45:17

Apple's most famous chips are the A- and M-series processors that power its iPhones, iPads, and Macs, but this year, its effort to build its own wireless chips is starting to bear fruit. Earlier this spring, the iPhone 16e included Apple's C1 modem, furthering Apple's ambitions to shed its dependence on Qualcomm, and today's iPhone Air brought a faster Apple C1X variant, plus something new: the Apple N1, a chip that provides Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 6, and Thread support for all of today's new iPhones

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.

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. Apple’s new iPhone 17 line is impressive in its own right, but this generation of devices marks the first time that Apple has made an iPhone Air.

Cities obey the laws of living things

news.ycombinator.com Elena Kazamia 2025-10-26 05:31:01

Who would disagree with Dickens that London’s green spaces are the city’s “lungs?” A city is an animal that sleeps, although some never do, like New York City or Hong Kong. All cities are creatures of a sort. Some have multiple “faces” they present to the world, most have a “beating heart” where the action unfolds, and it is a rare city that lacks a dark “underbelly.” The analogy of city as living organism is so established, in fact, that it has crossed over into the realm of scientific inquiry

Immunotherapy drug eliminates aggressive cancers in clinical trial

Over the past 20 years, a class of cancer drugs called CD40 agonist antibodies have shown great promise—and induced great disappointment. While effective at activating the immune system to kill cancer cells in animal models, the drugs had limited impact on patients in clinical trials and caused dangerously systemic inflammatory responses, low platelet counts, and liver toxicity, among other adverse reactions—even at a low dose.
