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

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-03 06:42:48

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.

iPhone 17 vs. iPhone Air, 17 Pro, and 17 Pro Max: I compared every model, and here's my buying advice

Jason Hiner/ZDNET Apple's iPhone 17 lineup has officially 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" model. Also: Apple Events live updates: iPhone 17, iPho

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

theverge.com Andrew Liszewski 2025-10-03 06:36:20

The new charger, which was first leaked last June through Taiwan’s National Communications Commission’s website, is now available through Apple’s online store with a 1-meter USB-C cable for $39, or a 2-meter cable for $49. 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.

As Apple again extends free satellite messaging, I’m doubling down on my prediction

9to5mac.com Ben Lovejoy 2025-10-03 10:21:56

Apple’s satellite messaging service was a key feature of the iPhone 14. Initially limited to providing an emergency service for those outside cellular coverage areas, it was subsequently extended to offer roadside assistance cover for mechanical problems and messaging with family and friends too. Although initially described as free for the first two years only, Apple subsequently extended free coverage – and has just done so again … As Macworld notes, here are the latest free periods: iPhone

Apple Free Satellite Service Extended Again for iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 Owners

Off the grid doesn't mean out of luck. Apple's satellite service, which connects directly to an overhead satellite when there is no cellular or Wi-Fi coverage, will continue to be free for at least another year. 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. Apple's free satellite connection service was due to be cut off this year for current owners of iPhone 14 and iPhone 15 models, but the time

iPhone Air or 17 Pro? Apple Doesn't Make the Preorder Choice Easy

Samsung calls iPhone 17 keynote a ‘Zzz-note,’ forgets Galaxy S25 series exists

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.

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.
