The iPhone Air officially hit store shelves this Friday, but select early reviewers already had their hands on Apple’s thinnest iPhone yet. It’s the company’s boldest design shift since the iPhone X introduced FaceID and OLED displays. This time, though, Apple isn’t chasing new sensors or screen tech — it’s rethinking how the iPhone feels in your hand. And based on early iPhone Air reviews, people are into it. That’s not to say it’s flawless. The Air compromises on camera quality and battery. Like the long-running MacBook Air vs. MacBook Pro debate, users are asking if the tradeoff in performance is worth the sleek form factor and lighter feel. For many reviewers, the answer is yes — especially if you value aesthetics, portability, and a bit of novelty in your daily device. So, while the thin Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge was a flop , we wouldn't be surprised if the iPhone Air takes off. Mashable’s full review of the iPhone Air is still in the works. So, until we're ready to re...

It's iPhone 17 launch day . Consumers around the world are lining up at their local Apple stores in order to pick up the latest line of smartphones from Apple : the iPhone Air and iPhone 17 series. However, within just a few hours of the new iPhone launching, Apple customers took to social media to share something a bit odd. Some of the brand new iPhone 17 Pro devices on display in Apple Stores were already scratched. This Tweet is currently unavailable. It might be loading or has been removed. "Demo unit iPhone 17 Pro scratches on day 1…(it’s not even 24 hours yet)" posted one user on X alongside photos of the scratched devices. "Use a case immediately if you don’t wait to experience this kind of issue. I’m very disappointed with the quality here." Photos and videos of the scratched-up in-store demo iPhone 17 Pro units quickly spread online, and some X users are already sharing photos of their own scratched phones, though we can't verify these posts...

Google launched the Nano Banana image generator in late August, and it's been building momentum through word of mouth ever since. The new model, officially dubbed Gemini 2.5 Flash Image , actually shot to the top of the LMArena AI leaderboard under its Nano Banana code name before Google officially rolled it out in its Gemini AI chatbot and app. Users have been so excited to try Nano Banana that Gemini now tops the App Store charts, and it’s not far behind on Google Play. Why is there so much interest in this generative AI image model? Nano Banana is a solid image maker (though not the best AI image generator , according to our tests); however, it really shines as an AI image editor . Using natural language commands, you can tell Gemini exactly how to edit your image. This isn’t exactly new, as Gemini has been able to do this for months, but Nano Banana adds additional functionality. For instance, you can upload multiple images and have Gemini combine them into a single image...

Dalia is a death cleaner. Death cleaning, as we know it, is the process of sanitizing and tidying the spaces where people take their final breaths, sometimes long after their bodies have begun to decompose. It’s a job here on Earth in the year 2025, but Dalia’s version of death cleaning takes place on the rings of Saturn in a distant future filled with space travel, interplanetary colonization and devastating disease outbreaks. In this scenario, death cleaning involves spraying chemicals over bulging piles of otherworldly contamination and avoiding their defense mechanisms, which can cause fires, explosions and electrical interference. Dalia learns from the alien material as she cleans, harvesting fruit from fungal mounds to create new options for her sprayer. She also listens to the last words of the dead. Ambrosia Sky is the first game from independent studio Soft Rains and its story trailer landed on Wednesday. In Ambrosia Sky , Dalia is cleaning the Cluster, an agricultural ou...

The Summer I Turned Pretty may have aired its series finale, but there's still more story to tell. On Wednesday, just hours after The Summer I Turned Pretty 's final episode dropped and Belly (Lola Tung) made her final choice between Conrad (Christopher Briney) and Jeremiah (Gavin Casalegno), Prime Video announced that The Summer I Turned Pretty: The Movie is in the works. The movie will serve as the supersized finale for the series. The Summer I Turned Pretty author and showrunner Jenny Han is set to both write and direct. SEE ALSO: Why Conrad from 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' is the internet’s ultimate summer crush "There is another big milestone left in Belly’s journey, and I thought only a movie could give it its proper due. I’m so grateful to Prime Video for continuing to support my vision for this story and for making it possible to share this final chapter with the fans," said Han in a press release. What will The Summer I Turned Pretty: Th...

Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and Representative Melanie Stansbury (D-N.M.) are leading a group of congressional Democrats in investigating White House Special Advisor David Sacks for possibly serving in his position for longer than he's allowed. Sacks, a former PayPal executive and venture capitalist at Craft Ventures, was originally picked by President Donald Trump to be the "White House A.I. & Crypto Czar" in 2024. "Any effort to stay beyond the time limits imposed on you as a Special Government Employee (SGE) would raise additional ethics concerns for you and the Trump Administration," the group writes in a letter to Sacks ,"particularly as it moves to implement recently enacted cryptocurrency legislation and put in place new rules for the crypto industry." Besides being friendly with the Trump campaign and allies like Elon Musk, Sacks was given his position because of his knowledge of the crypto and AI industries as an investor. That po...

Get ready for a return to the life of Kazuma Kiryu, because it seems that a remake of Yakuza 3 is on the way. The leak was discovered on developer Ryu Ga Gotoku Studios' website. Fans noticed that there was an entry for Yakuza Kiwami 3 alongside the listings for the remakes of the first two Yakuza games — Yakuza Kiwami and Yakuza Kiwami 2 — on the RGG site. Although the listing has since been removed, screencaps shared on social media documented the accidental reveal. 夕方頃、龍が如く公式サイトのカテゴリー一覧に「龍が如く 極3」が載っていたみたいですね https://t.co/3a8NsbTFlu pic.twitter.com/lhzATp6yQZ — れんか (@Renka_schedule) September 17, 2025 The timing of the leak also aligns nicely with the upcoming Tokyo Game Show, where RGG is scheduled to host a dedicated event. That certainly looks like the prime moment to officially announce Yakuza Kiwami 3 as its latest remake project. It is still technically possible to play the original Yakuza 3 , which was released on PlayStation 3 in 2009. The game got remasters...

Gig economy platform Fiverr is laying off 250 employees as it pivots to being an "AI-first company," CEO Micha Kaufman shared in an essay on X . The move affects around 30 percent of the company's staff, The Register writes , and it's not uncommon among tech companies in 2025. Duolingo announced similar plans to become "AI-first" in April. Kaufman describes this process as returning to "startup mode" and writes that his ultimate goal is to turn Fiverr into "an AI-first company that's leaner, faster, with a modern AI-focused tech infrastructure, a smaller team, each with substantially greater productivity, and far fewer management layers." Part of the justification Kaufman offers for why Fiverr doesn't "need as many people to operate the existing business" is that the company has already integrated AI into its customer support and fraud detection programs. The first sign that Fiverr might justify layoffs with AI came...
