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

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

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. You only need to look at the picture above to realize that it has a sizeable camera bum

The new DJI Osmo Nano takes a similar approach with acc

The iPhone 17 camera looks completely outdated next to 2025’s Android phones

Apple has just launched the iPhone 17 series, and there are quite a few camera changes this time. We’ve got a square selfie camera sensor that enables portrait or landscape shots without rotating the phone, a 48MP 4x camera for the Pro phones, and a 48MP ultrawide camera for the standard model. 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. What do you

All iPhone 17 models get dual capture video recording in the Apple Camera app

A new software feature available across the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air lineup is Dual Capture, which allows you to record from the front and rear camera at the same time. This mode is available through a button in the Apple Camera app running on an iPhone 17. The dual video recording capability was first demoed by Apple back in 2019 as a feature of the iPhone 11 Pro, but required a third-party app to use … You can see Apple unveil multi-cam recording at this point in the 2019 iPho

The Galaxy S26 Ultra might get a camera downgrade

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR A leaker has claimed that the Galaxy S26 Ultra could offer an inferior 3x camera to the S25 Ultra. The phone will apparently use a 3x camera with a smaller sensor, suggesting lower quality photos. We’ve already seen some Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra camera leaks, and we most recently heard that the 3x camera could get a new sensor. Now, it sounds like this might be a downgrade.

Nikon's ZR is its first cinema camera co-designed with RED

Nikon has unveiled its first cinema camera developed in collaboration with the company it acquired last year, RED. The Nikon ZR (the "R" is for "RED" I imagine) is a camera that neither company could have made on its own, marrying RED's color science and video codecs with Nikon's advanced subject detect AF and in-body stabilization. It will go up against other creator-oriented models like Canon's new C50 and the Sony FX3 but at a much lower price. Nikon's mirrorless cameras are known for their

I have had the 16 Pro for one year, and might trade it in.

iPhone 17 Pro: These two features will make you want to upgrade

Apple’s full iPhone 17 lineup is almost here, and the latest rumors point to major iPhone 17 Pro improvements coming in two areas that often motivate upgrades: battery life and cameras. #1: Huge battery life gains Apple’s flashy new model this year will be the iPhone 17 Air, but for anyone who cares a lot about battery life, iPhone 17 Pro will be the better option.

Get a look at the real-time translation the new AirPods Pro 3 bring to your ears, which you can prompt through a gesture. Powered by Apple Intelligence, it uses noise cancellation to reduce the volume of the speaker to elevate the provided translation to the user. It came as one of several updates to the newly revealed AirPods Pro 3, which made their debut at Apple’s iPhone 17 launch event.

Apple’s new Center Stage Camera always keeps you in frame

The biggest takeaway from the iPhone 17’s new front camera? You won’t have to rotate your phone to take a landscape selfie. The new square sensor allows for multiple aspect ratios to be captured at once; you just have to click to expand or switch between compositions. And that’s just the start of the phone’s new features, as revealed at Apple’s iPhone 17 reveal event, not to mention the implications of the iPhone 17 Pro’s potent camera on manufacturers targeting vloggers and content creators.

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.

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,

Android could learn a thing or two from iPhone 17’s selfie camera game

Apple TL;DR Apple has announced that all iPhone 17 series models have an 18MP selfie camera with a square sensor. This sensor allows for landscape or portrait images and videos while holding the phone in portrait orientation. This camera also offers Center Stage tech for automatically tracking you during video calls, as well as improved video stabilization. Apple has just announced the iPhone 17 series, and the phones bring a few upgrades across the board. However, Apple is also bringing a r

Apple unveils Final Cut Camera 2.0 with support for new iPhone 17 lineup camera features

Right after the “Awe Dropping” event, in which Apple unveiled multiple camera features across the entire iPhone 17 lineup, it also introduced Final Cut Camera 2.0, with full support for everything that had just been announced. Here are the details. ProRes RAW, Gunlock, Center Stage, more As is tradition, Apple dedicated quite a good portion of today’s event to the camera system of the new iPhone 17 lineup, particularly the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max. For instance, Apple introduced su

U.S. sanctions cyber scammers who stole billions from Americans

The U.S. Department of the Treasury has sanctioned several large networks of cyber scam operations in Southeast Asia, which stole over $10 billion from Americans last year. These operations, mainly those in Burma and Cambodia, are notorious for using forced labor, human trafficking, and physical violence, essentially operating as modern slavery farms that conduct online fraud. The scams vary from “romance baiting” to fake cryptocurrency investing opportunities. The announcement highlights tha

David F. Sandberg Will Direct the 756th ‘Amityville Horror’ Movie

First came the very real massacre of the DeFeo family by one of their own, in 1974. Then, in 1977, came the best-selling book chronicling the ghostly terrors experienced by the Lutzes, the next family to occupy the DeFeo’s Long Island Dutch Colonial Revival with those distinctive eye-shaped windows. Then came the 1979 movie based on the book—by which time the haunting claims were being called into question. But who cares if The Amityville Horror is a hoax if it continues to fascinate audiences?

Apple’s creator-centric iPhone 17 Pro will make the vlogging camera obsolete

Apple unveiled its new line of iPhones on Tuesday, and the iPhone 17 Pro is making a direct appeal to content creators. The iPhone camera has long checked all the boxes for anything that a casual user might need, making a digital camera obsolete for most consumers. But for millions of content creators — an industry encompassing an estimated 200 million potential customers — it has remained necessary to buy handheld video cameras from companies like Canon, Sony, Panasonic, Nikon, and Fujifilm.

Selfie Fans, the New iPhone 17 Camera Is Optimized for You

If you use your iPhone to take selfies more than anything else -- and Apple says users took more than 500 billion selfies last year -- take heart. At Apple's fall iPhone event Tuesday, held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, the company not only debuted the 5.6mm-thick iPhone Air, but demonstrated that phone's new selfie camera. The iPhone 17's center-stage front camera has the company's largest-ever front camera sensor, nearly twice the size of the last one, Apple said. In addition, the

The iPhone 17 Series Gets the Biggest iPhone Design Refresh in Years

Apple has largely stuck with the same iPhone design since the iPhone 11 debuted in 2019, but change is afoot in Cupertino. While the iPhone 17 may resemble iPhones of the past few years, there's an entirely new camera layout for the iPhone 17 Pro models. Also, there's a brand-new iPhone! The iPhone Air replaces what was supposed to be the iPhone 17 Plus. It, too, features a new look, and it's the thinnest iPhone Apple has ever made. The changes on the standard iPhone 17—typically Apple's most p

iPhone 17 First Look: Better Specs, Brighter Screen and Camera Upgrades

Apple has unveiled the iPhone 17 at its "awe dropping" event, and aside from a redesigned camera bump on the back, there are plenty of upgrades under the hood and on its display. That may not be enough to move the needle for consumers who picked up last year's iPhone 16, but there's plenty of small upgrades for folks who haven't upgraded in years. The standard iPhone 17 remains the entry-level model of Apple's flagships, with all the new iOS 26 features but not all the spec upgrades that its Pr

iPhone Air hands-on

Apple just announced the iPhone Air, which, as you might guess by the name, is something Apple is marketing as extremely thin and light. It’s 5.6mm thin and has a ProMotion display, one camera, Apple’s Ceramic Shield 2 glass on both sides, and an A19 Pro chip. But what does it actually feel like to hold? I (Allison) got to actually pick up the phone at Apple’s launch event today, and it sure is light. The profile is as slim as it looks in photos, and it has more rounded edges reminiscent of pre

Our first look at the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max

There were two surprises for me when I picked up the iPhone 17 Pro. For one, the colors are bold — a nice change of pace from last year’s barely-there pales. But the bigger surprise is just how much has changed about the back of the phone. By all accounts, this still feels like an iPhone, with its soft matte aluminum frame. But the polished camera bar — always an underemphasized design element — now stretches across the back. And a detail I missed during the keynote is how the polished glass po

Apple launches iPhone 17 Pro with major camera upgrades

Apple launched the iPhone 17 Pro and the iPhone 17 Pro Max today with a new design and an upgraded camera system. The devices are powered by the new A19 Pro chipset and have a larger battery, Apple said. Plus, it noted that eSIM-only models will have a slightly larger battery as compared to Pro models with physical SIMs. The new Pro phones have an aluminium unibody instead of the titanium used in the previous year’s iPhone.

The iPhone 17 boasts a larger display with ProMotion support and a 120Hz refresh rate

In an absolute shocker, an early September Apple event included the official reveal of the iPhone 17. Who could have seen that coming? Arguably the biggest change this time around — in the most literal sense — concerns the display. At 6.3 inches, it's larger than the iPhone 16's 6.1-inch screen. Sorry to iPhone users with smaller hands and anyone else who is fed up of every phone becoming more of a phablet. The bezels are thinner too. Not only is the iPhone 17 screen larger than the one on its
