zdnet.com Kerry Wan 2025-09-27 14:30:27

Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The market of ultra-thin and lightweight phones is officially at its tipping point, as Apple threw its hat into the ring this month with the new iPhone Air. The newest and arguably most innovative iPhone features the company's slimmest design yet, measuring at around 5.6mm thick. How did the folks at Cupertino achieve such a record? By opting for a smaller battery, fewer cameras, and some design elements that disrupt the norm, especially by

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. Apple's iPhone 17 lineup has finally arrived, bringing four new devices to the table. As expected, the series consists of upgrades to past models such as the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro, and iPhone 17 Pro Max. But this generation is shaking things up by introducing the iPhone Air -- a new addition that Apple says is "the thinnest iPhone ever made." And for the first time in several generations, there will not be a "Plus" mode

I'm a long-time iPhone Pro user, but I'm seriously considering the Air for these reasons

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Follow ZDNET: Add us as a preferred source on Google. The iPhone "Pro" label has always represented the bleeding edge of Apple's industrial design. This year, I'm second-guessing if that philosophy still holds true in Cupertino. Going into Apple's Awe-dropping event earlier this month, my attention was reserved for the iPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max, both of which were expected to feature a new vapor chamber cooling system -- resolving a longstanding issue of overheating on Pr

New Amelia Earhart bio delves into her unconventional marriage

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-09-27 16:30:17

Famed aviator Amelia Earhart has captured our imaginations for nearly a century, particularly her disappearance in 1937 during an attempt to become the first female pilot to circumnavigate the globe. Earhart was a complicated woman, highly skilled as a pilot yet with a tendency toward carelessness. And her marriage to a flamboyant publisher with a flair for marketing may have encouraged that carelessness and contributed to her untimely demise, according to a fascinating new book, The Aviator and

techcrunch.com Rebecca Szkutak 2025-09-27 16:00:00

As robots increasingly enter human spaces, robotics companies will need to think about safety differently than they did when robots were largely siloed from their human counterparts. Sonair thinks its sensors can help robotics companies reach their safety goals — with a solution that is both better and cheaper than popular LIDAR technology. The Oslo, Norway-based company built an ADAR (acoustic detection and ranging) sensor for robots that uses high frequency sound. These sensors send out ultr

Silicon Valley bets big on ‘environments’ to train AI agents
