Apple failed to solve my biggest fear about the iPhone Air

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-07 01:00:51

Joe Maring / Android Authority The rumors about the iPhone Air were true. Just a few months after Samsung launched the Galaxy S25 Edge, Apple has thrown its hat in the ring with its own ultra-thin iPhone. At first glance, the iPhone Air does look impressive. The 5.6mm body is shockingly thin, the display looks great, and having the latest A19 Pro chip is quite the achievement. However, there was one aspect more than anything else that I was curious to hear about: battery life. The Galaxy S25

US Investment in Spyware Is Skyrocketing

wired.com Vas Panagiotopoulos 2025-10-07 03:00:00

The United States has emerged as the largest investor in commercial spyware—a global industry that has enabled the covert surveillance of journalists, human rights defenders, politicians, diplomats, and others, posing grave threats to human rights and national security. In 2024, 20 new US-based spyware investors were identified, bringing the total number of American backers of this technology to 31. This growth has largely outpaced other major investing countries such as Israel, Italy, and the

Apple’s new MagSafe Battery doesn’t just work with iPhone Air

9to5mac.com Zac Hall 2025-10-07 04:04:50

As rumored, Apple brought back its MagSafe Battery, but the only iPhone it works with is the new iPhone Air. However, Apple says it does have another feature that could come in handy. The new iPhone Air MagSafe Battery is meant to extend its battery life by 65%, which Apple says amounts to longer than any other iPhone. Apple discontinued its original MagSafe Battery when the iPhone switched from Lightning to USB-C. The first battery pack charged with Lightning, and Apple let third-party access

I Held Apple's Wildly Thin iPhone Air, and I'm Already Obsessed

Apple debuted its super-slim iPhone Air on Tuesday, and after getting my hands on the device at Apple Park in Cupertino, California, I'm amazed at just how thin and lightweight it really is. At just 5.6mm thick and 165 grams, it's one of those phones you may just have to hold to understand its appeal. I look forward to finding out if what's on the inside lives up to that show-stopping design. With the iPhone Air in one hand and my iPhone 16 Pro Max in the other, the difference between the two d

Cities obey the laws of living things

Who would disagree with Dickens that London’s green spaces are the city’s “lungs?” A city is an animal that sleeps, although some never do, like New York City or Hong Kong. All cities are creatures of a sort. Some have multiple “faces” they present to the world, most have a “beating heart” where the action unfolds, and it is a rare city that lacks a dark “underbelly.” The analogy of city as living organism is so established, in fact, that it has crossed over into the realm of scientific inquiry

Decades-Old Waste Barrels Are Creating Toxic Dead Zones off LA’s Coast

Until 1972, the Pacific waters of Southern California served as a dumping ground for hazardous and industrial wastes. More than 50 years later, corroded metal barrels still litter the seafloor off the coast of Los Angeles, and scientists are only beginning to understand the consequences of casually tossing them into the ocean. Images of the barrels first surfaced in 2020, with some of them encircled by mysterious white halos on the seafloor. Experts initially linked the barrels to DDT—a toxic p

Apple’s chunky old MagSafe Battery Pack was beloved by a subset of iPhone owners, and now the company is bringing it back and slimming it down for the iPhone Air. I took a first look at the battery pack this afternoon, and it has a significantly slimmer design than the old version. This version of the battery pack is thinner and longer, stretching as far across the back of the phone as it can before bumping into the camera bar.

The iPhone Air looks great with its sleek, thin new shape, but you may not want to choose this phone as your daily driver just yet. The new device announced on Tuesday is thinner and lighter than other models, at 5.6mm with a 6.5-inch display. But for the time being, it’s also less capable in some areas than the base model iPhone 17, which could deter potential buyers. For instance, the Air’s battery lasts up to 27 hours, while the iPhone 17 lasts up to 30. It lacks the iPhone 17’s Ultra Wide
