iPhone 17 review: Closer to Pro

engadget.com Unknown 2025-09-18 16:00:55

For years, the “regular” iPhone received hand-me-downs from the Pro models. This was less so with the iPhone 16 and 16 Plus, but the trickle-down philosophy was still there to a degree. For 2025 and the iPhone 17 ($799) is no longer the compromise that the base model used to be. Apple finally blessed it with a 120Hz display and this year’s most exciting camera feature, Center Stage. While it may seem like Apple is no longer forcing iPhone users to compromise, or at least not to the degree it us

Canon Promo Codes: 10% Off | September 2025

We love Canon’s lineup of mirrorless cameras, which deliver the same great image quality without the bulk. The R5 is a powerhouse of a camera, offering a 45 Megapixel full-frame sensor and can shoot 8K RAW Video. If you don’t need the huge 45 MP sensor of the R5, the smaller, cheaper R6 Mark II Body is a solid choice. Plus, Canon has an online deals hub with rotating offers so you can get the gear you need for all your projects for way less. There are plenty of other Canon discounts and offers

I was a thin phone skeptic, but after holding the iPhone Air…I get it

Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority Apple launched the iPhone 17 series last week. Riding along the new 120Hz display on the iPhone 17 and the new design and upgraded telephoto camera on the iPhone 17 Pro is the all-new iPhone Air. As someone who has been a thin-phone skeptic, I’ve looked at the iPhone Air’s launch with the same disdain I reserved for the Galaxy S25 Edge: Why would anyone trade off crucial features like battery life and camera versatility for a flagship whose primary claim-to-fa

iPhone 17 Pro and Pro Max review: An impactful redesign

For the sake of this iPhone 17 Pro review, I’ve developed a gaming addiction. I don’t mean triple-A games like Destiny: Rising and Genshin Impact, or even double-A or non-A titles like Inside or Vampire Survivors, both of which I greatly enjoy. I’m specifically referring to Snake Clash on YouTube Games — the type of thing you mindlessly play while pretending to watch a documentary on TV, or while slowly growing a hemorrhoid as you waste away on the throne.

iPhone Air Review: A Magic Sheet of Glass With Expected Tradeoffs

Turns out an iPhone can be too thin and too light—maybe. That’s what I realized as I picked up the iPhone Air off the ground and inspected it for damage. Moments earlier, Apple’s thinnest iPhone ever—a 5.6mm glass and titanium metal sandwich that makes the previous thinnest iPhone, the 6.9mm iPhone 6, look fat by comparison—had flown out of my hands and fallen onto its screen, just as I pulled it out of my pocket.

Apple iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max Review: Level Up

wired.com Julian Chokkattu 2025-09-20 15:00:00

At first glance, the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max seem like a drastic upgrade over their predecessors. They have a fantastic new look—one that adds more character with a two-tone design highlighting the blend of the aluminum chassis and glass. The “Camera Plateau,” as Apple calls it, elongates the camera module and gives it a more balanced appearance and feel. (Although I have to say, Google did it first.) The specs might not read as revolutionary on paper: a bigger battery, a brighter s

The Samsung Galaxy S26 Pro already sounds like a massive disappointment

androidauthority.com Unknown 2025-09-20 22:30:21

Joe Maring / Android Authority Earlier this summer, Android Authority revealed a potentially huge shakeup for Samsung’s Galaxy S26 series. Instead of the expected Galaxy S26, S26 Plus, and S26 Ultra lineup, we found evidence that Samsung’s 2026 Galaxy S family may consist of the Galaxy S26 Pro, S26 Edge, and S26 Ultra. The idea that Samsung would eliminate the Galaxy S26 and replace it with the Galaxy S26 Pro was the biggest takeaway in my book, as it would open a big opportunity for Samsung.

Insta360 Go Ultra Review: This Tiny Action Camera Got Swacked by a Sword, and Survived

The blade missed me by inches, but the clever duelist swiped down and chopped at my crown, sending the $450 action camera attached to my fencing mask spinning away. The magnetic pod for Insta360’s Go Ultra tumbled to the floor, the light still blinking red, still recording. His sword left a gash along the side of the lens and a scuff on plastic.

Xiaomi 17 Pro has an iPhone-like design, but with a second display on the back [Video]

Ahead of its formal debut in the near future, Xiaomi is showing off the new Xiaomi 17 Pro, which has an iPhone-like camera bar on the back, but uses that real estate for a rear display. In a post on Weibo, Xiaomi shares a brief video that shows the Xiaomi 17 Pro. At first, the phone is shown with a sectioned design that features a section along the top that includes the cameras.

Unlike the Galaxy S25 Ultra or the Galaxy Z Fold 7, the 200MP sensor will be used for the OPPO Find X9 Pro’s telephoto camera.
