Maria Diaz/ZDNET Apple's latest mobile operating system, iOS 26 -- yes, if you've not been keeping up, that's what will come after iOS 18 -- is landing real soon (September 15), and it'll be pushed out to hundreds of millions of compatible iPhones worldwide within a few days. For the most part, the vast majority of these upgrades will be smooth and painless.

I Held Apple's Wildly Thin iPhone Air. I'm Both Impressed and Intrigued

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-01 06:25:00

Apple debuted its super-slim iPhone Air on Tuesday, and after getting my hands on the device at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, I can confirm it's quite striking to hold. At just 5.6mm thick and 165 grams, it's one of those phones you may just have to feel to understand its appeal. I look forward to finding out if what's on the inside lives up to that show-stopping design.

The iPhone 17 Pros Are Going to Crush Flagship Android Phones on Performance

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-01 10:00:52

Apple fans who normally gravitate to the Pro-level iPhones need to rethink their buying habits. The upcoming $1,100 iPhone 17 Pro isn’t better than the regular 17 for any obvious reason you can glean from staring at the pleasing orange surface. You have to look below the aluminum and beyond the giant camera bump to see what’s really going on. The iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max are finally stepping out of the amateur league and are going “pro,” as their names suggest. The regular iPhone 17 sounds lik

The iPhone 17 looks great, but I’d still choose the Pixel 10 over it

Robert Triggs / Android Authority At first, I wasn’t sure how to feel about the iPhone 17. To me, all of the leaks pointed towards another year of the same old, same old. But then, Apple unveiled its base-level flagship, and it had some tricks up its sleeve. It gave the base iPhone 17 a 120Hz refresh rate, an updated chipset, and doubled its base storage — not to mention a 48MP ultrawide camera. And you know what? Those are all significant upgrades. They’ll make the iPhone 17 Apple’s best yet.

Apple found clever iPhone Air innovation for a thinner USB-C port

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-02 00:42:48

Last year when rumors started swirling around Apple’s plans for an ultra-thin new iPhone, one limitation on thinness was expected to be the USB-C charging port. But it turns out, Apple had a clever solution to make iPhone Air’s USB-C port unusually thin: 3D-printed titanium. iPhone Air uses 3D-printed titanium USB-C port that’s thinner and stronger Last year, Apple shipped its thinnest product of all time with the M4 iPad Pro.

Apple’s faster MagSafe Charger can now charge other phones at 25W

Apple introduced 25W wireless charging with the iPhone 16 ahead of the Qi2.2 specification being officially introduced early this year, which is why the faster rate was only available when using Apple’s own wireless charger.

The feature, a notable selling point for Apple's devices, allows iPhone users to text family and request emergency help when they're out of range.
