Apple unveiled the iPhone 17 Pro Max today in Cupertino, where the aluminum frame hides a vapor chamber for cooling that would be the envy of supercomputers. With a 6.9-inch display that shines like the midnight sun (up to 3,000 nits) and a camera that captures 8x zoom like it's child's play, this is a device for those who want it all - and pay for it. The irony? Your old iPhone will now look like an ancient artifact, while the new one promises a future where AI is your best friend. But for 1,199 euros ($1,310), we ask: is this an upgrade or just another layer of aluminum around the same apple?

In a world where smartphones have become as thick as your wallet after shopping, Apple today introduced iPhone 17 Air — a device as thin as a paper bag and as powerful as a double espresso machine. With a 6.5-inch display, A19 Pro chip, and a starting price of €1,099 ($1,099), this model is a blend of elegance and technological madness that will delight lovers of minimalism. Read all the details on why iPhone 17 Air may be the best compromise between style and substance.
We're just a few hours away from Apple's "Awe Dropping" event, and the tech world is on edge. The main stars of the evening - the iPhone 17 (including the lightweight iPhone 17 Air), Apple Watch Series 11 and AirPods Pro 3 - are all but confirmed. But in the last few hours, rumors have emerged that could completely shake things up. Apple is known for throwing in a "one more thing" surprise, so get ready: the event may be more than just a routine 7pm CET event.
In 2025, phones promised more AI and megapixels than ever before. Yet the most “common” choice climbed to the top of sales. First the story, then the reveal – backed up by data from Q1 (by model) and Q2 (by manufacturer and revenue). The best-selling smartphone in 2025?! Let’s see!
The Huawei Mate XTs is here – a phone that doesn’t break, but folds three times. The second generation of Huawei’s tri-fold doesn’t care about convention: at a time when Samsung is still optimizing its “fold” recipes, Huawei is baking futuristic origami devices that are half smartphone, half tablet, and half science fiction.
In recent months, there have been rumors that Apple will raise prices again with the new generation of iPhone 17. However, a recent report from JPMorgan brings slightly more optimistic news - at least for the US market.
Apple has officially announced its fall “Awe dropping” event for September 9. The focus will be on the iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max, which are rumored to get a completely new rear with a horizontal “camera bar”, A19 Pro chip (3 nm), 12 GB RAM, Wi-Fi 7, larger screens (up to 6.9") and upgraded optics: for the first time, all three rear cameras are said to be 48 MP, and the selfie is 24 MP. As always: some things are official, but not much is yet — so we're marking what's official and what's “work-in-progress”.
When Apple introduced the iPhone 6 in 2014, we got a bigger screen, but also an unwanted bonus: the first protruding camera module. A small “pimple” that turned into a real mountain with each new generation. If the rumors are true, this “Everest” will reach its peak with the upcoming iPhone 17. But it is saved by Mynus MAGBACK.
iPhone 17 without a SIM card?! Apple apparently thinks that plastic SIM cards will be as retro as floppy disks or DVDs in 2025. With the new iPhone 17 series, the SIM slot will be gone in Europe - and not just on the "Pro" models, but on the entire line.
Although Apple is keeping its new devices under wraps like they're state secrets from Area 51, rumors and leaks surrounding the iPhone 17 are getting louder. It's clear: we're getting closer to another September spectacle from Cupertino. And not just any kind of one – but one that's supposed to be the biggest step forward in iPhone history. Thinner, smarter and, of course, more expensive. The iPhone 17 is set to shake up the smartphone world, and we've rounded up everything that's currently being rumored – or that Apple hasn't yet been able to successfully deny.
The Xiaomi Redmi Note 15 Pro+ is one of the most ambitious phones in its class: a 6.83-inch 1.5K OLED with 120 Hz and 3,200 nits, a quadruple IP certification (IP66/IP68/IP69/IP69K), a 7,000 mAh with 90 W, the new Snapdragon 7s Gen 4, and a triple camera with a 2.5x telephoto lens. It starts at 1,999 CNY = 240 euros in China; the global release is expected to bring minor changes.
Foldable phones have long had a bad reputation. Too thick, too heavy, with batteries that die just by looking at TikTok, cameras that prefer to pretend to belong in the middle class, and apps that still don't know how to behave on two screens. Waterproof? Half-hearted. Sensitivity? Too bad for anyone who has ever had their phone slip out of their hands. All of this sounded like a typical description of a foldable phone from 2023 until recently. Then along comes the Honor Magic V5 and confidently says: "No thanks, I'm not making these compromises anymore."
