iPhone Air Hands-On: It’s So Hard to Resist the Reality Distortion Field

gizmodo.com Raymond Wong 2025-10-09 09:25:15

Okay, so I’ve had some sleep to rest up (just a little) from the craziness of yesterday’s Apple Event, but also time to collect some thoughts on the iPhone Air (starting at $999) that I got to try out after the keynote. There’s no doubt in my mind that Apple has captured the same type of attention with the iPhone Air’s super-thin design as it did when Steve Jobs pulled out the original MacBook Air from a manila envelope. The iPhone Air is just so unbelievably thin—I felt like I could easily snap

iPhone Air vs. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge: Begun, the Thin Phone Wars Have

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-09 09:45:56

The future of thin phones is up in the air, leaving me on the edge of my seat. Apple’s latest smartphone redesign is epitomized by the $1,000 iPhone Air, while Samsung is still trying to sell consumers on a slim $1,100 Galaxy S25 Edge. Tales as old as good versus evil—or Android versus iOS—don’t ever have an expected outcome, and we doubt either device will make you want to change ecosystems. Still, we know you’re curious about how the devices stack up, and we finally have the specs to compare t

AirPods Pro 3 have less overall battery life than AirPods Pro 2

9to5mac.com Benjamin Mayo 2025-10-09 10:44:12

The new AirPods Pro 3 have better battery life than AirPods Pro 2 on a single charge, with the buds lasting up to 2 hours longer on one charge. But here’s a curveball. The overall battery life of AirPods Pro 3 is actually less. Including the charging case, Apple says AirPods Pro 3 are good for 24 hours of listening time, whereas AirPods Pro 2 actually last for 30 hours. That’s a surprising 20% reduction … This means for one continuous session of music and podcast listening, AirPods Pro 3 are s

Apple failed to solve my biggest fear about the iPhone Air

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-10 04:00:51

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

The Pixel’s latest Android update has a hidden trick for organizing your Quick Settings

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-10 06:30:39

Joe Maring / Android Authority TL;DR A hidden feature in Android 16 QPR1 offers a new, faster way to reorganize your Quick Settings tiles. Instead of dragging and dropping, you can double-tap a tile to select it and then tap its new position to move it. This method is more precise and avoids the awkward scrolling and accidental drops common with the old way.

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

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.

The iPhone Air’s battery pack is slim, but not as slim as the iPhone Air

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. Slimming it down reduces the potential battery size, but it makes t

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
