The new iPhone 17 Air is by far the thinnest iPhone to date. At only 5.6mm, the durability was an obvious question mark. After all, it was “Bendgate” the last time an iPhone went nearly this thin (iPhone 6). As is the tradition, the clock was on for JerryRigEverything’s infamous durability test right after the phone was announced. Apple also said that the new iPhone 17 Air was its most “durable” iPhone ever, which, for a device this thin, can be hard to believe. But surprisingly, that claim held up.

Samsung confirmed in July that it will be debuting its first tri-fold phone this year. It’s expected to come later this month, according to new information received by insider sources. While an Unpacked event is scheduled for this month, it will almost certainly focus on the S25 FE. Just this week, Huawei brought its second tri-fold, Mate XTs, to Chinese markets. The original Mate XT received more than a million pre-orders, though Samsung’s TriFold will only open orders for 50,000 units.

Google’s new Pixel 10a may stick to an older Tensor G4 chip, breaking the years-long tradition of the affordable “A-Series” coming with the same chipset as Pixel’s pricier models. The Tensor G5 came out this year in the new Pixel 10 line, and an earlier codename leak suggested that Google may opt to cut corners to keep the price in check for the 10a. This phone is now expected to reuse Pixel 9’s Tensor G4, which also came with last year’s Pixel 9a.
