The long-rumored “iPhone 17 Air” will reportedly be Apple’s thinnest phone ever—even skinnier than the iPhone 6, which sparked “bendgate” back in 2014. The 17 Air is expected to replace the iPhone

Hadlee Simons / Android Authority TL;DR Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 8 will apparently use the same “laser-drilled display metal plates” as the foldable iPhone. These parts reportedly enable a crease-free screen on Apple’s device, suggesting the Z Fold 8 won’t have a display crease, either. This would be a major step forward for the industry, as all foldable phones to date have a crease.

The days of "fast food" being "cheap food" are long gone, and prices seem to always be increasing. We can blame that phenomenon on rising inflation, and while a trip to a McDonald's drive-thru is still cheaper than settling in for a meal at your favorite steakhouse, it's far from inexpensive. In fact, prices soared in 2024 as some of the most well-known fast food chains hiked prices to make our favorite treats more costly than ever.
