iPhone 17 Pro Review: Practical Perfection With Two Capital P’s

2025 Deciding on whether to get an iPhone 17 Pro or 17 Pro Max couldn’t be easier. These two “pro” phones have no compromises. Whereas the iPhone Air is all about showing off its ridiculously thin and light design, the iPhone 17 Pros go in the opposite direction with thicker and heavier designs. Apple is basically saying, “F*ck all that skinny noise, let’s throw everything but the kitchen sink at them.” Even better cameras on the front and back? Check. The longest battery life of any iPhone?

Apple promises software update to fix ‘very rare’ iPhone Air camera glitch

My friend Henry Casey at CNN Underscored published his iPhone Air review this afternoon, and he noticed an odd imaging problem with the camera. Apple says a fix is coming in a future software update. From Henry’s review: “I also noticed an odd imaging problem at this concert, where one out of every 10 or so photos taken on the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 Pro Max have small blacked-out portions, including boxes and parts of white squiggles from the big LED board behind the band.” An Apple spokesp

Apple prepares suppliers for an iPhone sales boost next year, fueled by the new foldable model

Apple is apparently preparing its supply chain for an uptick in new iPhone sales next year, according to a new report by Nikkei. The company has apparently targeted sales of about 95 million iPhone 18 models in 2026, noting that the new lineup won’t arrive until the fall. While the new foldable model will draw interest, Apple is expecting sales to be up across all iPhone 18 models. The company seems to be indicating that it expects a halo effect, where people are enticed into upgrading based on

My Favorite iOS 26 Feature Can Block Spam Calls. Here's How It Works

Apple released iOS 26 on Monday, a few months after the company announced it at the June Worldwide Developers Conference. The update includes a Liquid Glass redesign, new ringtones and lots of hidden features for your iPhone. It also has a new call screening feature that lets you stop spam calls from bothering you. Call screening isn't an Apple Intelligence feature, so any iOS 26-compatible iPhone, like the iPhone 14 Pro, can use it. I enabled the feature early in the beta process, and my iPhon

A MacBook Pro touchscreen? About damn time

It's somewhat ironic that Apple, the company that popularized the use of capacitive touchscreens with the iPhone and iPad, has been staunchly opposed to bringing our fingers anywhere near MacBook screens. Meanwhile, Microsoft and PC makers jumped at the opportunity to build touchscreen laptops years ago. The tablet-focused Windows 8 was a failure, sure, but touchscreens led to excellent convertible notebooks and hybrid tablets like the Surface lineup. Now, according to a new rumor from longtime

China tells its tech companies they can’t buy AI chips from Nivida

Nvidia just got shut out of the Chinese market — this time by the Chinese government instead of the US. China’s internet regulator, the Cyberspace Administration of China, banned domestic tech companies from buying Nvidia AI chips on Wednesday, as first reported by the Financial Times. The agency also told tech companies including ByteDance and Alibaba to stop testing and ordering Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D server, a device designed specifically for the market in China.

China Just Fired Its Latest Shot in the Chip Wars — and Nvidia Took the Hit

Nvidia just can’t seem to catch a break. After beating a ban on China sales imposed by the Trump administration, the tech giant is now facing a ban on its products by Chinese regulators. Chinese internet regulator Cyberspace Administration of China (CAC) ordered top Chinese tech companies like Bytedance and Alibaba to end their testing and orders of Nvidia’s RTX Pro 6000D chips, the Financial Times reported on Wednesday citing people with knowledge of the matter.

iPhone 17 Pro review: How pro can you go?

When Apple announced the iPhone 17 Pro last week, it touted that the addition of the iPhone Air in the lineup allowed it to take the Pro models “to an entirely new level of performance and capabilities.” I’ve been testing the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max for the last week to find out just how far Apple has pushed those limits. Design Apple says the iPhone 17 Pro features an aluminum unibody design that is “crafted with a lightweight aerospace-grade 7000-series aluminum alloy.” It’s not

You absolutely should not buy Apple’s iPhone Air MagSafe battery pack

Apple released its thinnest phone yet last week, the iPhone Air, and revealed the new iPhone Air MagSafe Battery alongside it. The existence of a specially-made battery pack wasn’t a big surprise to me, because there had been rumors of the iPhone Air for months leading up to the event. Everyone was prepared for the thinnest iPhone ever to make some battery life sacrifices to achieve its svelte design. However, what was a surprise to me was how much Apple leaned on the new battery during the iPh

I was a thin phone skeptic, but after holding the iPhone Air…I get it

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Apple launched the iPhone 17 series last week. Riding along the new 120Hz display on the iPhone 17 and the new design and upgraded telephoto camera on the iPhone 17 Pro is the all-new iPhone Air. As someone who has been a thin-phone skeptic, I’ve looked at the iPhone Air’s launch with the same disdain I reserved for the Galaxy S25 Edge: Why would anyone trade off crucial features like battery life and camera versatility for a flagship whose primary claim-to-fa

iPhone Air review: The thinnest iPhone ever, but at what cost?

Every so often, Apple makes a design decision that draws a line in the sand. One that feels like a delineation between one era and the next. The iPhone Air is that kind of device. It’s strikingly thin and sets a new standard for how an iPhone should feel in your hand. The iPhone Air is also an example of the compromises that come with pushing the design boundaries of a form factor. The question is whether it correctly strikes that balance. I’ve been using the iPhone Air since it was announced l

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max review: An impactful redesign

For the sake of this iPhone 17 Pro review, I’ve developed a gaming addiction. I don’t mean triple-A games like Destiny: Rising and Genshin Impact, or even double-A or non-A titles like Inside or Vampire Survivors, both of which I greatly enjoy. I’m specifically referring to Snake Clash on YouTube Games — the type of thing you mindlessly play while pretending to watch a documentary on TV, or while slowly growing a hemorrhoid as you waste away on the throne. The reason I’ve been playing so much
