techcrunch.com Julie Bort 2025-10-09 05:54:48

Replit has raised a $250 million round, valuing the company at $3 billion. Unlike other fast-growing vibe coders, Replit has not been running to VCs every few months, though we’ll see if that changes. Its last raise was in 2023 when it raised about $100 million that valued the company at $1.16 billion post-money. Replit has now raised a total of about $478 million, PitchBook estimates. The company, founded in 2016 by programmers Amjad Masad (pictured), Faris Masad, and designer Haya Odeh, says

PSA: The new Sleep Score feature works with third-party devices

Here’s one cool addition to yesterday’s information about how the Sleep Score feature works on older Apple Watch models: in fact, it even works with third-party accessories, provided they offer a sleep tracking feature. Here are the details. Sleep Score is not necessarily tied to the Apple Watch sleep tracking feature As noted by Rudrank Riyam on X, you don’t even need to own an Apple Watch to see your sleep score in the Health app on iOS 26: Sleep score is independent of the apple watch.

Welcome to the era of thin smartphones (whether you want it or not)

engadget.com Unknown 2025-10-09 09:07:29

We knew it was coming, and now it’s here. The iPhone Air, as rumored, is only 5.6mm thick and has fewer features than the base iPhone 17, which is $200 cheaper. Sure, it’s not the first slimline reinterpretation of a major smartphone — Samsung beat Apple to the punch with the Galaxy S25 Edge earlier this year — but the influence of Apple can’t be underestimated. It’s too early to tell if the iPhone Air will shake up smartphones as the MacBook Air did with laptops, but it’s definitely a safer evo

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 week with the new iPhone Air. The newest and arguably most innovative iPhone features the company's slimmest design yet, measuring at around 5.6mm thin. How did the folks at Cupertino achieve such a record?

iPhone Air Hands-On: It’s So Hard to Resist the Reality Distortion Field

Okay, so I’ve had some sleep to rest up (just a little) from the craziness of yesterday’s Apple Event, but also time to collect some thoughts on the iPhone Air (starting at $999) that I got to try out after the keynote. There’s no doubt in my mind that Apple has captured the same type of attention with the iPhone Air’s super-thin design as it did when Steve Jobs pulled out the original MacBook Air from a manila envelope.

We’ve even seen this war extend to foldable phones in 2025. Apple claims the iPhone Air is just 5.6mm thin. However, much like the Galaxy S25 Edge and most other phones, this measurement doesn’t include the camera bump.
