androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-11 16:18:23

TL;DR Samsung has criticized Apple’s iPhone 17 series launch as a “Zzz-note.” The company made the comments as part of a competition announcement on Twitter. This comes despite Samsung’s own Galaxy S25 phones being conservative upgrades. Apple announced the iPhone 17 series this week, and there are a few reasons to be excited about these devices. All models have a nifty square selfie camera, there’s a super-slim iPhone Air (if you care about a slim and light design), and Pro models get a 48MP

What would you do with 52 hours a week of discretionary time? Make your time count. Published: 04 June 2023 Productivity Tim Urban has a good article describing how we have 100 10-minute "blocks" per day when we aren't sleeping. It's a great article, but I want to reframe it a little. I just filled out his graph for my weekdays: 8 hours doing school, 2 hours of eating, 50m each of commute & self-care. So after a typical weekday I only have 30 blocks = 300 minutes left of discretionary time

Apple had a lot of announcements this week, but arguably none was bigger (and paradoxically thinner) than the iPhone Air. For one, there’s the fact that this is Apple’s first-ever phone with “Air” branding, marking a rare new category of iPhone, both present and future. Then, there’s the fact that the iPhone Air is very slim—5.64mm to be exact.
