Apple sold me on iPhone Air with just three words

9to5mac.com Ryan Christoffel 2025-10-03 15:58:11

I always buy an iPhone Pro, but this year I opted for iPhone Air instead, and three words from Apple’s presentation—“power of Pro”—sum up why. iPhone Air is ultra-thin but has the “power of Pro” I’ve been excited about the iPhone Air since the first rumors emerged last year. Based on early reporting, I quickly proclaimed: “Air won’t be the best iPhone, but it will be the future.” I knew there would be battery and camera drawbacks. But I always expected the iPhone Air’s battery would be “good

The Worst-Selling Nintendo Console Ever Is Returning as a Switch 2 Accessory

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-03 15:51:25

Nintendo is bringing back the most underrated hardware in its storied history as an accessory for the Switch 2. The recreated Virtual Boy still has the classic kickstand and faceplate. However, instead of sporting its own screen, you’ll need to slot in your Switch 2 to create the classic black and red “3D” visuals. At first glance, the new Virtual Boy appears like a pitch-perfect remodel of Game Boy creator Gunpei Yokoi’s odd kickstand-based console. The main difference is that there’s no scree

iPhone Air launch in China delayed due to eSIM regulatory issues

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-10-04 07:42:25

The iPhone Air is Apple’s flashiest new iPhone model, featuring a strikingly thin industrial design. One of the ways Apple achieved this sleek profile was to maximise internal space by making all iPhones Airs rely on eSIM, with no physical SIM card slot model available. Despite announcing at the event that the iPhone Air would be available in China through carrier China Telecom, Apple has since delayed the launch.
