Here’s our video hands-on of the iPhone Air.
It looks really good on video, but unfortunately, the phone still wobbles on its back even though Apple used a wide camera bump. Can’t have it all, I guess!
iPhone
Over the past ten years, Apple’s iPhone has become the company’s most valuable —and recently, somewhat volatile— asset. Since its introduction in 2007, the iPhone helped to jumpstart the smartphone revolution, and with it came some big innovations. The App Store, touchscreen gaming, the mass adoption of social media, and protecting user data with biometrics. Its product lineup is enmeshed in Apple’s ecosystem, and the impact that it continues to have around the globe is vast.
Apple’s brand-new, thinnest-ever iPhone will be shipping on September 19th.

The 2TB iPhone 17 Pro Max costs $1,999.
I heard lots of oooohs and ahhhs from the in-person crowd when Apple announced that the iPhone 17 Pro Max will go up to 2TB of storage. I wonder if all of those people were ready to pony up 2,000 bones?

The iPhone 17 Pro is aluminum again and that feels like a step back.
This kind of feels like Apple is forcing me to the titanium iPhone Air. Apple switched to titanium for the iPhone 15 Pro two years ago, and it was noticeably lighter than the aluminum iPhone Pros that came before it. Why ditch titanium here?

A peek at every iPhone 17.
We’ve seen several leaks of the iPhone 17 lineup already, but these new images shared on Weibo show them all together side-by-side in various color options. Will the blue versions of the iPhone 17 and iPhone 17 Air, and those orange iPhone 17 Pro models, actually be that vivid? We should find out at the launch event later today.

Live Photos are coming to WhatsApp.
Wabetainfo says the WhatsApp for iOS beta 25.24.10.72 update adds support for Live Photos in chats, groups, and channels, after rolling out similar support for motion photos on Android last month. Users can decide whether to send them as a still image or the original dynamic clip.

The iPhone 12 is getting a little less radioactive in Europe.
Bad news if you were hoping to Hulk out: Apple is rolling out a software update across the bloc to reduce transmitter power and meet strict radiation standards. It’s an expansion of a change it made in France in 2023, following a new European Commission decision backing the French regulator.

The iOS alarm is wheely weird.
I just verified it for myself and, yup — if you keep scrolling, you’ll eventually hit bottom.

Apple’s FineWoven successor might be called TechWoven.
Pictures from leaker Majin Bu show what appears to be iPhone 17 Pro Max case boxes with the new texture. It looks like of like the texture on Amazon’s fabric Kindle cases.

iOS 26 could be worth the upgrade for this new ringtone alone.
On Monday, Apple released the sixth developer beta of iOS 26 which includes six new ringtones. Five of them are new variations of the Reflection ringtone — currently the iPhone’s default option — with names like Buoyant, Dreamer, Pond, Pop, Surge, and Reflected, which was carried over from previous betas and renamed.
There’s also an entirely new ringtone called Little Bird that’s destined to become an earworm and is begging to be remixed into a real banger.
