iPhone 17 Air is real—here’s what’s new in Apple’s extra-thin handset

An incoming new iPhone model called the iPhone Air has been one of the worst-kept secrets in tech lately, and now Apple has confirmed it at its annual iPhone reveal event. The 6.5-inch iPhone 17 Air combines the CPU and GPU of an iPhone Pro with the camera system of a regular iPhone, all in an extra-thin design (5.6 mm), with a treated titanium frame that is likely to appeal to style-conscious users and some business consumers.

While the world focuses on Apple’s latest slew of new products, we are taking a moment for the last bastion of Apple’s proprietary past—the one remaining product with a Lightning connector that, somehow, Apple still sells. We have previously lamented Apple's drawn-out transition to USB-C. It’s been far from quick and far from straightforward, leaving a mess of dongles and confusion in its wake. It was last year, at its September 2024 “Glowtime” event, that Apple made the move to change that, t

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

Horror Maze Game ‘Dark Deception’ Is Becoming a Horror Movie

The next video game to join the list of those coming to the silver screen is Glowstick Entertainment’s Dark Deception. If you’ve never heard of it, it’s described on Steam as a “story-driven first-person horror maze” inspired by classic arcade games. The 2018 PC and mobile title came out in 2018 and tasks players with getting out of a maze filled with big-headed monsters that’d probably be right at home in Five Nights at Freddy’s.

Judge in Anthropic AI Piracy Suit Worried Authors May 'Get the Shaft' in $1.5B Settlement

A federal judge on Monday ordered the court to slow-roll a proposed $1.5 billion settlement to authors whose copyrighted works Anthropic pirated to train its Claude AI models. Judge William Alsup, of the US District Court for the Northern District of California, said the deal is "nowhere close to complete," and he will hold off on approving it until more questions are answered. Alsup's concerns seem to be around making sure authors have enough notice to join the suit, according to Bloomberg. In

Judge: Anthropic’s $1.5B settlement is being shoved “down the throat of authors”

At a hearing Monday, US district judge William Alsup blasted a proposed $1.5 billion settlement over Anthropic's rampant piracy of books to train AI. The proposed settlement comes in a case where Anthropic could have owed more than $1 trillion in damages after Alsup certified a class that included up to 7 million claimants whose works were illegally downloaded by the AI company.
