Apple Debuts Newest Lineup of iPhones: Expect Premium Prices

Apple's iPhones have never been cheap. On Tuesday, the prices for the new iPhone 17 lineup were revealed at Apple's fall iPhone event, held at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, and... well, in a year of tariffs and other economic turmoil, they could be worse. CNET Senior Editor James Bricknell wasn't surprised by the iPhone prices. "Given the tariffs and all the other stuff that's happened in the past year, the prices are good," he said.

I tried Apple's 2 big AI features announced at the iPhone 17 event - and both are game changers

zdnet.com Jason Hiner 2025-10-01 04:11:38

Jason Hiner/ZDNET While we didn't hear much about Siri or Apple Intelligence during the 2025 Apple Event that launched new iPhones, AirPods, and Apple Watches, there were two huge AI features announced that have largely slipped under the radar. That's mostly because they were presented as great new features and didn't use overhyped AI marketing language. Nevertheless, I got to demo both features at Apple Park on Tuesday and my first impression was that both of them are nearly fully baked and r

iPhone Air offers a new feature never seen in a single-camera iPhone

9to5mac.com Dylan Mcdonald 2025-10-01 07:28:55

Apple has been including Portrait Mode on iPhone models with only one back camera since the iPhone XR, but the iPhone Air is the first one to get a fully-featured Portrait Mode. A brief history When Apple introduced the iPhone XR, one of the headlining features was how it could take “dramatic portraits using a single camera lens”. However, these portraits were limited to just people and pets. So, if you wanted to take a portrait photo of something like a flower, you could not. Similarly, the

The iPhone Air Could Trigger a Thin Phone Avalanche

The biggest announcement coming out of the iPhone 17 series' launch event earlier this week wasn't about the most powerful iPhone yet -- it was for the thinnest. At 5.6mm, or less than a quarter of an inch, the iPhone Air stole the show. And even though it was far from the first mainstream "thin phone," it may just kick off the trend in a major way in the years to come. There's a long-running sentiment in the mobile industry around Apple's impact on phone trends: Once the iPhone-maker makes a s

Apple iPhone Air's China release delayed

cnbc.com Annie Palmer 2025-10-02 14:56:06

Participants at the presentation of new iPhone models from Apple try out the new thinner iPhone Air. Apple has postponed the launch of its new iPhone Air model in China due to regulatory issues surrounding its eSIM design, the company said. Wireless carriers in China need a special license from the government before they can sell a new device with an eSIM, and the carriers haven't secured that approval yet, Apple said.

Is the iPhone Air a Klutz's Worst Nightmare?

Maybe I'm just getting bent out of shape, but the new iPhone Air seems like it would be my worst nightmare. The slim and trim version of the brand new iPhone 17 was the star of Apple's "awe dropping" September event, with Apple bragging they created a model that's only 5.6 mm thick, about the size of three stacked credit cards. But I have to ask: Did anyone really ask for a super-thin iPhone? Apple has loaded up the iPhone Air with better battery life and faster processing power via the A19 Pro

Apple sold me on iPhone Air with just three words

I always buy an iPhone Pro, but this year I opted for iPhone Air instead, and three words from Apple’s presentation—“power of Pro”—sum up why. iPhone Air is ultra-thin but has the “power of Pro” I’ve been excited about the iPhone Air since the first rumors emerged last year. Based on early reporting, I quickly proclaimed: “Air won’t be the best iPhone, but it will be the future.” I knew there would be battery and camera drawbacks.

Apple delays release of iPhone Air in China due to pending approval of eSIM

In Brief Apple is set to release its upcoming iPhone 17 series on September 19 in most countries across the world. However, the eSIM-only iPhone Air’s release is being delayed in China, likely due to regulatory issues around the approval of the embedded SIM. Apple’s website notes that all three Chinese state-owned network providers, China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom, will offer eSIM support for the iPhone Air, but says the timing of the release will be subject to regulatory approval

iPhone Air launch in China delayed due to eSIM regulatory issues

The iPhone Air is Apple’s flashiest new iPhone model, featuring a strikingly thin industrial design. One of the ways Apple achieved this sleek profile was to maximise internal space by making all iPhones Airs rely on eSIM, with no physical SIM card slot model available. Despite announcing at the event that the iPhone Air would be available in China through carrier China Telecom, Apple has since delayed the launch.

As a movie lover who grew up on John Hughes and other filmmakers like him, I was trained from an early age to expect that high school would be filled with archetypes: bullies, popular kids, jocks, nerds and humorless and gruff authority figures.
