Samsung Galaxy S25 FE leak points to thinner bezels
TL;DR A new leak may give us our first look at the Galaxy S25 FE. The device is said to feature a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. Samsung may have upgraded the front camera to 12MP. In January, Samsung launched the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra. The company then followed that up with the launch of the Galaxy S25 Edge in May. Samsung could finish up the S25 series in the next few months by launching a Fan Edition, and we may have just gotten our first look at it. In collaboration with tipster OnLeaks, SamMobile has shared a few CAD renders of what's believed to be the Galaxy S25 FE. According to the outlet, the FE will come with a 6.7-inch Super AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. That display may offer a peak brightness of 2,600 nits, but that number hasn't been confirmed. We could also see the front camera upgraded from 10MP to 12MP. Additionally, the report mentions that we can expect the dimensions to be 161.4 x 76.6 x 7.4mm. While there are no details about the price, the outlet speculates that the price could go up by $50. For reference, the Galaxy S24 FE launched with a price tag of $650. It's also unclear what chip will be sitting inside, but potential options could be an Exynos 2400 or a MediaTek Dimensity 9400. These renders also seem to suggest that the bezels will be thinner than last year. It's believed that Samsung could launch the Galaxy S25 FE in late Q3 or early Q4 of this year. When the handset arrives, it should be running on One UI 8 out of the box. Got a tip? Talk to us! Email our staff at Email our staff at news@ .

Exactly When Apple Will Launch iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Air And iPhone 17 Pro
Updated June 17 with more details of the release date, what's coming and why this might be the last year to fit this schedule. Apple will launch the iPhone 17 series later in 2025, doubtless in the fall, as that's when the company has said the next generation of software, iOS 26, will go on general release — it's just had a surprise update to the developer beta cycle. Exactly when the phones will launch hasn't been announced, but it's possible to nail down the date with some accuracy. And it's worth noting that rumors are already rife about how things will change in 2026. More on that below. Here's all you need to know. To be clear, when I say iPhone 17 throughout this piece, I'm also referring to the rest of the iPhone 17 series. In other words, the regular iPhone 17, the iPhone 17 Pro, the larger iPhone 17 Pro Max and the all-new super-slim iPhone which is predicted to be on the horizon. It may be called the iPhone 17 Air or it may have some other name which Apple feels conveys the svelte, stylish nature of this phone. So far, there have been no rumors of delays for any of the four, so I think all will be announced at the same keynote — though it's still possible that one or more could see a delay to its release date, as happened in the past for the iPhone X and iPhone XR in 2017 and 2018 respectively. Apple's biggest keynote of the year always features the iPhone, and usually the Apple Watch plus, sometimes, another product like AirPods. It always falls in roughly the first half of September, mostly on a Tuesday or Wednesday. And never on Sept. 11. This gives us three possible pairs of dates: Tuesday, Sept. 2 or Wednesday, Sept. 3, Tuesday, Sept. 9 or Wednesday, Sept. 10, or Tuesday, Sept. 16 or Wednesday, Sept. 17. We can rule out the first pair as that completely clashes with the big consumer electronics show in Berlin, IFA, which runs Sept. 5-9, with press days just before that. U.S. and international press will be tied up in Germany that week. Also, Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 1, and Apple doesn't choose the week Labor Day falls in. The final pair of dates seems too late for me, though they're not impossible — if Apple hits a snag in production, it can move the launch to that week. Most likely are Tuesday, Sept. 9 or Wednesday, Sept. 10. Last year, Apple chose Monday, Sept. 9 for the keynote, so the Monday in that week, Sept. 8, is also possible. My gut says it will be on Tuesday, Sept. 9 at 10 a.m. Pacific in Apple's Cupertino HQ. The pre-order date can shift a little, but it's usually on the Friday of the week of the keynote. So, providing September 9 is the day the keynote happens, as I believe it will be, then pre-orders will open on Friday, September 12. As for the time, this usually begins at local times, often at 1 p.m. wherever you are. This means it's first in places like Australia, later in the U.S. because of the time zones. Previously, Apple has let people get ahead of the queue the night before pre-orders open — Thursday, Sept. 11 in this scenario — so they can choose the color, storage level and model of iPhone then and complete the purchase when pre-orders open the following day. Assuming the keynote is on Sept. 10, or one day that week, the release date, as sure as eggs is eggs, will be the Friday of the following week: Friday, Sept. 19. If for some reason the keynote moves to the week beginning Sept. 17, then Friday, Sept. 26 will be the onsale date for the iPhone 17, iPhone Air, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max (if those are the names selected for the phones expected). But my money's on Friday, Sept. 19. Alex Lee at The Independent has just released his own prediction of the release date and I'm happy to say it coincides with mine. 'Apple almost always announces its new line of smartphones on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday in the second week of September. To give you an idea, the iPhone 16 was announced on Monday 9 September 2024, the iPhone 15 on Tuesday 5 September 2023, the iPhone 14 on Wednesday 7 September 2022, and the iPhone 13 on Tuesday 14 September 2021. The newest iPhone is always then available to pre-order on the Friday of that same week, before releasing on general sale a week later. "To break it down easy, I'm expecting Apple to unveil the iPhone 17 in the second week of September, probably sometime between 8 and 10 September, with pre-orders going live on Friday 12 September. The iPhone 17 lineup could then be released on Friday 19 September,' he says. In commenting on the release date for the iPhone 17, Cnet has said that the iPhone 17 series will likely be announced in the first half of September. But it also comments on how this might not be the way things are after this year. 'The iPhone 17 lineup may be the last to follow this fall-release model. Starting with the iPhone 18, Apple will reportedly split its phone releases so that lower-cost iPhones launch in the first half of the year and the higher-end Pro models become available later in the year. But that isn't expected to happen until 2026 so you can likely still expect the iPhone 17 Pro to become available this fall.,' it says. In which case, check back for a different release date story this time next year.

iOS 26 finally lets you snooze like a civilized human
iOS 26 is bringing a sweet little tweak that adds a big (and welcome) improvement to your quality of life. iOS 26 is a big update. Its new Liquid Glass design is fancy, and there are plenty of features sprinkled across the OS. Hidden beneath is one little feature, one small improvement, that is set to bring revolution and a whole new lifestyle: and yep, I'm talking about the alarm's 'Snooze' option. iOS 26 ends the authoritarian regime of the 9-minute Snooze option and brings you the ability to customize your alarm snooze intervals. Yes, Liquid Glass is gorgeous, and yes, charging estimates are important, but setting a custom snooze interval is transformative... for your morning routine. The update allows you to set snooze duration from anywhere from 1 to 15 minutes. The new feature is accessible when you tap any alarm and then tap the number next to "Snooze Duration" in the options. Yep, this little change may be trivial, but people are different and may have different, well, snoozing needs. For example, some people may just need a 2-minute break to get their eyes all ready for opening for the day, while others may need more time to fully wake up. The fixed 9-minute interval is a relic from mechanical alarm clocks and, well, it doesn't make too much sense on a modern smartphone. This snooze intervals option is exactly what you didn't know you needed. | Image Credit – MacRumors With iOS 26 , there are plenty of similar small tweaks across the user interface that make for a serious quality-of-life improvement. The Weather app is now getting critical weather alerts for predicted travel destinations, you can also now report voicemails as spam, and Apple Wallet will be able to track all your orders with the help of AI, just to name a few. Right now, iOS 26 is available for beta testing by developers. The public will get to beta test the OS next month, while the official, stable version will arrive in the fall alongside the iPhone 17 series.
