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

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-10-05 04:00:52

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

‘Black Phone 2’ Star Says Sequel Evokes ‘A Nightmare on Elm Street’

gizmodo.com Cheryl Eddy 2025-10-05 06:30:48

When horror fans first heard a sequel to The Black Phone was coming, there was excitement—but also confusion. Didn’t the Grabber, the diabolical child killer, die at the end of the 2021 movie, enabling his would-be final victim to escape? Of course he did! But with the existence of ghosts already established thanks to the Grabber’s haunted basement phone, there’s a ready-made avenue for the villain to return in Black Phone 2. And according to Mason Thames, who plays the very lucky Finney, the Gr

Now that we know all the details about the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and the new iPhone Air, it's time to ask the most important question: when can we get them into our hands? Preorders for all of this year's iPhone models begin Friday at 5 a.m. PT. Then begins what feels like an endless slog before the new phones finally arrive (which, every year, is punctuated by the arrival of iPhone cases several days beforehand, as if to taunt us).

Galaxy S26 phones might not get those big charging upgrades, after all

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-05 14:59:26

Ryan Haines / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s smallest Galaxy S26 phones could stick with 25W charging for another year. Early Galaxy S26 Ultra rumors suggested the phone may charge faster than 45W. Now regulatory filings suggest that Samsung will keep the Ultra at 45W again. For a whole lot of smartphone shoppers, power is the name of the game. And we’re not talking performance, either, like how high you can get those benchmark figures, but electrical power: how much charge your phone hol

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

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-10-05 13:30:44

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 2025-10-05 18:42:48

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

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.

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.

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.
