It’s been about a week since the new iPhone 17, iPhone Air, and iPhone 17 Pro lineup hit shelves, and now that the honeymoon phase is winding down, it’s time to think about the next step: accessories. There’s no shortage of options, from ultra-slim cases to rugged cases, MagSafe batteries to charging setups, and everything in between. I have tested dozens of these new accessories, and here are some of my early favorites and must-haves! Before we get into it, if you want to see a complete hands-

Python developers are embracing type hints

news.ycombinator.com Pyrefly Team 2025-10-01 13:23:54

Python is one of the most successful programming languages out there, with it recently overtaking Javascript as the most popular language on GitHub, according to the latest GitHub Octoverse report. The report emphasises the popularity of the language in the growing fields of AI, data science and scientific computing - fields where speedy experimentation and iteration are critical, and where developers are coming from a broad range of STEM backgrounds, not necessarily computer science.

5 reasons why Pixels will never outsell Samsung’s Galaxy phones

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-04 21:30:16

C. Scott Brown / Android Authority In the tech community, Google’s Pixel and Samsung’s Galaxy phones generate a lot of buzz, creating the illusion that they are neck-and-neck competitors in the sales race. However, the reality couldn’t be more different. Samsung is the undisputed king of the global smartphone market, while Google doesn’t even crack the top five. For context, in the second quarter of 2025, Samsung shipped 58 million phones globally, 13.3 million of which were sold in the US. Du

5 phone features I refuse to compromise on

Joe Maring / Android Authority As smartphones become more expensive and certain brands have leaned towards iterative updates, I’ve learned that I need to compromise when it comes to some smartphone features. At the same time, there are some aspects where I refuse to budge. It becomes tricky to balance all the requirements I have for a phone I purchase. There’s plenty of choice in my local market, but it has been a long time since I just purchased the latest Android flagship and called it a day

iPhone Air is more than just ‘impossibly thin,’ and it isn’t just an engineering experiment

9to5mac.com Michael Burkhardt 2025-10-05 04:00:00

Apple unveiled iPhone Air, its thinnest iPhone ever, nearly three weeks ago at this point. It’s an incredibly impressive model, and I’ve been thoroughly enjoying mine since I picked it up on launch day last Friday. That said, despite the focus on it being ‘impossibly thin’ in Apple’s own words, I think it’s a lot more than that based on my time using it.

Apple's iPhone 17 vs. Samsung's Galaxy S25: Base Flagship Phones Compared

At long last, there's a new Apple flagship phone: the iPhone 17. The $799 iPhone 17 is the entry-level model of the new iPhone lineup, which is now on sale with the $999 iPhone Air, $1,099 iPhone 17 Pro and $1,199 iPhone 17 Pro Max. While the iPhone 17 is the base option, there's nothing basic about it. It features plenty of updates like a 120Hz ProMotion display, upgraded cameras and a faster A19 chip.

I Just Posted to Instagram Using Only an AI Agent. I'm Not Sure I Would Again

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-05 00:00:06

The big promise of AI agents is that they'll be able to handle tasks for you -- using their knowledge and understanding of you and what's stored in your phone to suggest, predict and automate what you need, to ease the burden on you. For the most part, the situations in which we'd use AI agents in our day-to-day lives have so far been largely hypothetical. But at Qualcomm's Snapdragon Summit in Hawaii, I got a first-hand look at how we might use an agent to complete a routine task: uploading co

I love small Android phones! These are the best ones I’ve tested in 2025

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-05 03:30:59

A few years ago, small phones seemed to be going the way of the headphone jack, the removable battery, and the dodo. They were disappearing at an alarming rate, making way for 6.5-inch displays to become the floor rather than the ceiling. It felt like before long, the iPhone would be the only actual small phone left — not a great sign for us Android fans. Then, things flipped. Small phones became cool again, bringing back the idea that less can be more, much to the delight of bona fide small pho

iPhone Air vs iPhone 16 Plus: How does the new option stack up?

9to5mac.com Dylan Mcdonald 2025-10-04 15:50:57

With the iPhone 17 lineup, Apple has discontinued the Plus model in favor of the new iPhone Air. But how do these models compare to each other? Physical size and thinness Of course, the most immediate and striking difference between iPhone Air and iPhone 16 Plus is the difference in design. iPhone Air is significantly thinner and lighter: 5.64 mm thick, down from 7.80 mm 165 g (5.82 oz), down from 199 g (7.03 oz) iPhone Air is also shorter and narrower than iPhone 16 Plus: 6.15 in (156.2 m

What can I plug into my iPhone 17 USB-C port?

iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone Air feature a USB-C port at the bottom of the phone. If you are upgrading from an older phone, this means your old Lightning accessories won’t work anymore. But the USB-C port is much more capable overall. With a USB-C cable and new charger, you can charge your iPhone from zero to 100% faster than ever before. You can also connect external displays, external storage, camera peripherals and more. Here’s what you can do with your new iPhone and its shiny new po

Gear News of the Week: The iPhone Air Is Surprisingly Repairable, and Gemini Comes to Google TV

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-10-05 03:30:00

Thinner, smaller gadgets are usually harder to repair due to their constrained space, but surprise, surprise, Apple's 5.6 mm-thin iPhone Air has earned a respectable 7/10 repair score from iFixit. A key factor in this was Apple relocating the logic board to create more space for the battery, making it easier to access. The phone also uses electrically debonding adhesive, first debuted on the iPhone 16, to make swapping batteries simple. The iPhone 17 Pro models also scored a 7/10 repair score,

There's no escaping that the new Xiaomi 17 Pro and Pro Max have a lot in common with Apple's latest iPhones.

Then there's the design, with a rear bar that stretches across the top of the phone's back, much like the camera plateau on Apple's iPhone 17 Pro. Except that Xiaomi's bar is something radically
