RhinoShield and Sent Into Space sent an iPhone 17 Pro fitted with RhinoShield's AirX case up on a high-altitude balloon from Kiruna, Sweden, then released it from over 30,600 meters. After a 25-minute fall through temperatures as low as minus 60 degrees Celsius, the phone landed intact in remote terrain and was later recovered, powered on, and used to make calls and take photos. Guinness World Records confirmed the feat as the highest drop of a phone in a case onto natural landforms.
New renders published by Android Headlines give the first detailed look at Samsung's rumored Galaxy S27 Pro, showing a triple-camera island resembling Apple's iPhone 17 Pro design. The device appears to share most specs with the Galaxy S27 Ultra but comes in a smaller 6.6-inch size without an S Pen slot, and is rumored to pack a 5,200mAh battery.
Amazon is offering its Renewed Premium 17 Pro units, including 512GB and 1TB models, at their lowest tracked prices yet, backed by a 1-year guarantee and over 90% original battery health. The discounts arrive alongside other Apple accessory deals, including AirTag 2 from $20, a discounted AirPods Pro 3, and Anker MagSafe accessories.
New outline renders shared by leaker Ice Universe suggest Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Pro will adopt the same iPhone 17 Pro-style camera plateau expected on the Galaxy S27 Ultra, replacing Samsung's traditional vertical camera island. However, the Pro model appears to omit the S Pen slot and has the speaker grille and microphone positions swapped compared to the Ultra.
Amazon has opened pre-orders for Apple's new M6 and M5 Pro Mac mini models across several configurations, ranging from $899 to $1,699. Best Buy is separately offering up to $500 off the M6 Mac mini when trading in an older M4 unit, while other current discounts include AirTag 2 at $20, renewed iPhone 17 Pro units up to $220 off, and Apple's official iPhone Air Bumper case down to under $13.
New leaked images from tipster Ice Universe show Samsung's upcoming Galaxy S27 Ultra sporting a wide rectangular rear camera plateau similar to Apple's iPhone 17 Pro. Otherwise, the leak suggests the phone keeps the same dimensions, display size, left-side S Pen slot, and speaker placement as the current Galaxy S26 Ultra. The rest of the S27 lineup—Pro, Plus, and standard models—is expected to get only minor design tweaks.
