This powerful dual-screen handheld is part Nintendo DS, part gaming laptop
TL;DR The AYANEO Flip 1S DS is a new clamshell dual-screen Windows handheld.
It has a 7-inch 144Hz OLED panel plus a 4.5-inch LCD, similar to a Nintendo DS.
Pricing and availability haven't been announced, but it will be on the premium end.
Hot off the heels of Retroid's dual-screen accessory for its gaming handhelds, AYANEO has just announced its own full-fledged dual-screen handheld. Called the AYANEO Flip 1S DS, it's the follow-up to last year's Flip 1 DS, with some significant upgrades and a lot more power than the competition.
The AYANEO Flip 1S DS looks a lot like a Nintendo DS, with two screens in a Nintendo DS-like layout. The larger screen at the top is a massive 7-inch, 144Hz OLED display. The smaller screen at the bottom is a 4.5-inch IPS LCD panel with a 3:2 ratio, likely the same one found in the AYANEO Pocket ACE.
Unlike the Pocket ACE or the Nintendo DS, the Flip 1S DS runs on Windows 11. It's powered by an AMD Ryzen AI 9 HX 370, which is typically found in premium laptops and ultrabooks. This will make it one of the most powerful gaming handhelds on the market.
It will have LPDDR5X RAM and an M.2 2230 slot for storage, but AYANEO hasn't announced the specific configurations yet. Its predecessor came in 16+512GB, 32GB+1TB, and 64GB+2TB flavors, so expect something similar for the Flip 1S DS. However, storage can be expanded via a microSD card slot.
Of course, gaming handhelds are as much about controls as they are performance, and AYANEO has some big upgrades there, too. This handheld will have medium-sized TMR electromagnetic joysticks, which are generally considered the successors to Hall Effect sticks. They have all the same benefits, but tend to cost more. There are also four face buttons, a D-pad, Linear Hall effect triggers, some shortcut buttons, and a small optical finger mouse.
The combination of two screens and a powerful CPU gives the Flip 1S DS serious potential.
The handheld has two full-function USB-C slots for fast charging, speedy data transfer, or peripherals. AYANEO hasn't announced charging speeds or battery size as of writing, but a device this powerful will likely drain the cell relatively quickly.
We also don't know anything about pricing or availability, but considering the specs, it will be firmly on the premium end. For reference, the Flip 1 DS now starts at $1139, although early bird discounts brought the starting price down to $739 during the launch campaign. Still, the combination of two screens, Windows, and all this extra power gives the Flip 1S DS serious potential for power users. Stay tuned for more info in the coming weeks.

Yes, an iPhone Could Cost More Than $2,200 With Tariffs. Should You Buy One Now?
Tariffs could soon raise the price of iPhone. James Martin/CNET President Donald Trump announced he has made a deal with China, which could potentially affect the cost of a new iPhone -- but maybe not as much as you think. "WE ARE GETTING A TOTAL OF 55% TARIFFS, CHINA IS GETTING 10%," Trump said in a post on Truth Social, noting that he and China's president, Xi Jinping, still need to give their final approval for the deal. However, 55% "total" tariff incorporates 30% the countries agreed to in May (10% "reciprocal tariff" + 20% "fentanyl tariff") and approximately 25% from tariffs that Trump imposed on China during his first term, according to a White House official. Although 55% is substantially less than the original 145% tariff against China Trump originally put in place, it's still likely to result in higher prices for many items, said Michael Coon, associate professor of economics at the University of Tampa. And the new tariff deal doesn't take into account the 25% smartphone tariff Trump announced shortly after Apple said it was moving production of US iPhones to India. "I would suspect that the 25% smartphone tariff would be added on top of the existing tariffs in China," he said. "I think the smartphone tariff is more reaction to India -- Apple's announcement that they were going to ship most of their production to India." Apple didn't mention tariffs during its Worldwide Developers Conference this week, but with the rumored iPhone 17 due for a price hike -- regardless of tariffs -- is now the time to buy a new iPhone? Read more: Thinking About Buying a New iPhone? Here's Why You Should Wait How much could tariffs raise iPhone prices? We do the math Companies don't always pass the full tariff onto customers in the form of higher prices, but they can. Even if Apple could absorb some of the costs, you should expect to see significant price jumps if tariffs take effect. "They're still going to probably pass 80% to 90% onto consumers, if they can," Coon said. "Unless they wanted to do some sort of marketing ploy out of it, which I don't suspect they would want to do, because that would be directly going up against the administration." Based on the current tariff rate, iPhones manufactured in China are already subject to a 25% tariff (from Trump's first term), but could now get an additional 30% tariff. Goods from India currently have a 10% baseline tariff but that could potentially soar to 26% next month. Here's how the current tariffs and potential 25% Apple tariff could affect the price of the iPhone. These figures are based on our estimates and not confirmed by Apple: How much could iPhones made in China cost after tariffs? Current price With new 30% tariff New tariff + 25% smartphone tariff iPhone 16e (128GB) $599 $779 $928 iPhone 16 (128GB) $829 $1,078 $1,285 iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) $929 $1,208 $1,440 iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) $999 $1,299 $1,548 iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) $1,199 $1,559 $1,858 iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) $1,599 $2,079 $2,478 How much could iPhones made in India cost after tariffs? Current price Current 10% tariff Potential 26% tariff Potential 26% tariff + 25% smartphone tariff iPhone 16e (128GB) $599 $659 $755 $904 iPhone 16 (128GB) $829 $912 $1,045 $1,252 iPhone 16 Plus (128GB) $929 $1,022 $1,171 $1,403 iPhone 16 Pro (128GB) $999 $1,099 $1,259 $1,508 iPhone 16 Pro Max (256GB) $1,199 $1,319 $1,511 $1,810 iPhone 16 Pro Max (1TB) $1,599 $1,759 $2,015 $2,414 Based on Coon's estimates that Apple could pass along up to 90% of the tariff cost to customers, that could raise the price of a new iPhone 16 Pro Max (1 TB) assembled in China to $2,230. "Estimates say it would cost $3,500 to produce an iPhone in the US. So, it would still be cheaper to produce in China," Coon said. There's a lot more that goes into the price of an iPhone than simply where it's assembled. Apple sources components for its products from a long list of countries, which could face higher tariffs after the pause. And a tariff on goods doesn't necessarily mean prices will increase by the same amount. If companies want to stay competitive, they could absorb some of the costs to keep their prices lower. Apple did not respond to a request for comment. When could we see iPhone prices increase? It's unclear exactly when prices could go up, but if companies sell out of devices produced before the tariffs, they may have to increase prices on products in tariffed shipments. However, even if Apple can't avoid tariffs entirely, it has ways to offset the impact through its services -- including its music, news and data plans -- according to supply chain expert Joe Hudicka. "Apple will likely absorb some of the tariff costs up front to keep sticker prices stable, then pass the rest on to consumers gradually through service bundles, device longevity and ecosystem upgrades," he said. "Consumers will still pay, just not all at once." And regardless of how the tariff drama plays out, the Wall Street Journal reports that Apple plans to raise iPhone prices later this year. So expect prices to go up soon. Is it better to buy an iPhone and other tech now or wait? If you already planned to buy a new smartphone, buying it now might save you money. But if you don't need a new phone immediately, you might want to wait, said CNET Managing Editor Patrick Holland, who's been reviewing phones for CNET since 2016. "If iPhone prices rise, know that, like cars, the prices for used iPhones will likely rise, too," he said. "If Apple does raise its prices, you'll likely get more for your old iPhone when you trade it in, and that should offset any increased prices." If you don't have the cash on hand and are considering using a credit card or buy now, pay later plan just to avoid tariffs, make sure you have the money to cover the costs before you start accruing interest. With credit cards' average interest rates currently more than 20%, the cost of financing a big purchase could quickly wipe out any savings you'd get by buying before prices go up because of tariffs. "If you finance this expense on a credit card and can't pay it off in full in one to two months, you'll likely end up paying way more than a tariff would cost you," said Alaina Fingal, an accountant, founder of The Organized Money and a CNET Money Expert Review Board member. "I would recommend that you pause on any big purchases until the economy is more stable." One way to save on Apple products, even if prices go up, is to buy last year's model instead of the newest release or a used one. And trading or selling a used one can help offset the cost even more. "Apple has leaned into that with its Certified Refurbished program, much like the auto industry's used car model," Hudicka said. "This program helps extend the lifespan of devices, keeping customers in the Apple ecosystem longer while distributing the cost impact over time."

I'm Tracking 11 Key Products for Tariff Price Changes: Here's What You Need to Know
A trade court has ruled Trump's tariff barrage illegal, but the possibility of prices climbing remains. James Martin/CNET For CNET's tariff price tracker, I've been keeping an eye on several products that have a high chance of being affected by President Donald Trump's tariff agenda. Most prices I've been looking at have remained stable so far, aside from notable increases for the Xbox Series X and a budget-friendly 4K TV, and occasional discounts during big sale periods, which is currently the case for some popular earbuds and an affordable soundbar. With all that said, the broader impact of these import taxes is still on the horizon, especially as Trump now claims that tariff rates against China are going back up to 55% soon. The Trump administration has also been working to undo a trade court ruling which found that Trump has no authority to set tariffs as he has been -- a move now being argued before an appeals court. We'll see how that ultimately plays out, but for now, the possibility that the president's tariff policies will lead to price hikes remains likely. That's why I'm continuing to monitor several key products you might want or need to buy soon, to keep track of the potential tariff impacts. CNET Tariff Tracker Index Above, you can check out a chart with the average price of the 11 products included in this piece over the course of 2025. This will help give you a sense of the overall price changes and fluctuations going on. Further down, you'll be able to check out charts for each individual product being tracked. We'll be updating this article regularly as prices change. It's all in the name of helping you make sense of things so be sure to check back every so often. For more, check out CNET's guide to whether you should wait to make big purchases or buy them now and get expert tips about how to prepare for a recession. Watch this: Should You Buy Now or Wait? Our Experts Weigh In on Tariffs 09:42 Methodology We're checking prices daily and will update the article and the relevant charts right away to reflect any changes. The following charts show a single bullet point for each month, with the most recent one labeled "Now" and showing the current price. For the past months, we've gone with what was the most common price for each item in the given month. In most cases, the price stats used in these graphs were pulled from Amazon using the historical price-tracker tool Keepa. For the iPhones, the prices come from Apple's official materials and are based on the 128-gigabyte base model of the latest offering for each year: the iPhone 14, iPhone 15 and iPhone 16. For the Xbox Series X, the prices were sourced from Best Buy using the tool PriceTracker. If any of these products happen to be on sale at a given time, we'll be sure to let you know and explain how those price drops differ from longer-term pricing trends that tariffs can cause. The 11 products we're tracking Mostly what we're tracking in this article are electronic devices and digital items that CNET covers in depth, like iPhones and affordable 4K TVs -- along with a typical bag of coffee, a more humble product that isn't produced in the US to any significant degree. The products featured were chosen for a few reasons: Some of them are popular and/or affordable representatives for major consumer tech categories, like smartphones, TVs and game consoles. Others are meant to represent things that consumers might buy more frequently, like printer ink or coffee beans. Some products were chosen over others because they are likely more susceptible to tariffs. Some of these products have been reviewed by CNET or have been featured in some of our best lists. Below, we'll get into more about each individual product, and stick around till the end for a rundown of some other products worth noting. iPhone 16 The iPhone is the most popular smartphone brand in the US, so this was a clear priority for price tracking. The iPhone has also emerged as a major focal point for conversations about tariffs, given its popularity and its susceptibility to import taxes because of its overseas production, largely in China. Trump has reportedly been fixated on the idea that the iPhone can and should be manufactured in the US, an idea that experts have dismissed as a fantasy. Estimates have also suggested that a US-made iPhone would cost as much as $3,500. Something to note about this graph: The price listed is the one you'll see if you buy your phone through a major carrier. If you, say, buy direct from Apple or Best Buy without a carrier involved, you'll be charged an extra $30, so in some places, you might see the list price of the standard iPhone 16 listed as $830. Apple's been taking a few steps to protect its prices in the face of these tariffs, flying in bulk shipments of product before they took effect and planning to move production for the US market from China to India. This latter move drew the anger of Trump again, threatening the company with a 25% tariff if they didn't move production to the US, an idea CEO Tim Cook has repeatedly shot down in the past. This came after Trump gave a tariff exemption to electronic devices including smartphones, so the future of that move seems in doubt now. Apple's flagship device is still the top-selling smartphone globally, as of Q1 of this year, although new research from the firm Counterpoint suggests that tariff uncertainty will cause the brand's growth to stall a bit throughout the rest of 2025. Duracell AA batteries A lot of the tech products in your home might boast a rechargeable energy source but individual batteries are still an everyday essential and I can tell you from experience that as soon as you forget about them, you'll be needing to restock. The Duracell AAs we're tracking are some of the bestselling batteries on Amazon. Samsung DU7200 TV Alongside smartphones, televisions are some of the most popular tech products out there, even if they're an infrequent purchase. This particular product is a popular entry-level 4K TV and was CNET's pick for best overall budget TV for 2025. Unlike a lot of tech products that have key supply lines in China, Samsung is a South Korean company so it might have some measure of tariff resistance. This model is currently about $29 more expensive than usual on Amazon, but we'll have to wait and see if this is a temporary change or a more permanent shift in pricing. Xbox Series X Video game software and hardware are a market segment expected to be hit hard by the Trump tariffs. Microsoft's Xbox is the first console brand to see price hikes -- the company cited "market conditions" along with the rising cost of development. Most notably, this included an increase in the price of the flagship Xbox Series X, up from $500 to $600. Numerous Xbox accessories also were affected and the company also said that "certain" games will eventually see a price hike from $70 to $80. Initially, we were tracking the price of the much more popular Nintendo Switch as a representative of the gaming market. Nintendo has not yet hiked the price of its handheld-console hybrid and stressed that the $450 price tag of the upcoming Switch 2 has not yet been inflated because of tariffs. Sony, meanwhile, has so far only increased prices on its PlayStation hardware in markets outside the US. AirPods Pro 2 The latest iteration of Apple's wildly popular true-wireless earbuds are here to represent the headphone market. Much to the chagrin of the audiophiles out there, a quick look at sales charts on Amazon shows you just how much the brand dominates all headphone sales. Earlier in the year, they tended to hover around $199 on the site, a notable discount from its $249 list price, but the price is currently the much more enticing $169, so move fast if you want an affordable pair. (Or maybe just wait for the rumored AirPods Pro 3.) HP 962 CMY printer ink This HP printer ink includes cyan, magenta and yellow all in one product and recently saw its price jump from around $72 -- where it stayed for most of 2025 -- to $80, which is around its highest price over the last five years. We will be keeping tabs to see if this is a long-term change or a brief uptick. This product replaced Overture PLA Filament for 3D printers in this piece, but we're still tracking that item. Anker 10,000-mAh, 30-watt power bank Anker's accessories are perennially popular in the tech space and the company has already announced that some of its products will get more expensive as a direct result of tariffs. This specific product has also been featured in some of CNET's lists of the best portable chargers. This particular model is showing as out-of-stock on Amazon for the time being, but was most recently back up to $26 after a brief sale. Bose TV speaker Soundbars have become important purchases, given the often iffy quality of the speakers built into TVs. While not the biggest or the best offering in the space, the Bose TV Speaker is one of the more affordable soundbar options out there, especially hailing from a brand as popular as Bose. This product has been one of the steadiest on this list in terms of price throughout the year, but it's currently on sale for $199, potentially as part of Amazon's Memorial Day sale. So, if you're looking for an affordable, tariff-free TV speaker, now might be the time. Oral-B Pro 1000 electric toothbrush They might be a lot more expensive than their traditional counterparts but electric toothbrushes remain a popular choice for consumers because of how well they get the job done. I know my dentist won't let up on how much I need one. This particular Oral-B offering was CNET's overall choice for the best electric toothbrush for 2025. Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Lenovo is notable among the big laptop manufacturers for being a Chinese company making its products especially susceptible to Trump's tariffs. Starbucks Ground Coffee (28-ounce bag) Coffee is included in this tracker because of its ubiquity -- I'm certainly drinking too much of it these days -- and because it's uniquely susceptible to Trump's tariff agenda. Famously, coffee beans can only be grown within a certain distance from Earth's equator, a tropical span largely outside the US and known as the "Coffee Belt." Hawaii is the only part of the US that can produce coffee beans, with data from USAFacts showing that 11.5 million pounds were harvested there in the 2022-23 season -- little more than a drop in the mug, as the US consumed 282 times that amount of coffee during that period. Making matters worse, Hawaiian coffee production has declined in the past few years. All that to say: Americans get almost all of their coffee from overseas, making it one of the most likely products to see price hikes from tariffs. Other products As mentioned before, we occasionally swap out products with different ones that undergo notable price shifts. Here are some things no longer featured above, but that we're still keeping an eye on: Nintendo Switch: The baseline handheld-console hybrid has held steady around $299 most places -- including Amazon impending release of the Switch 2 remains to be seen. This product was replaced above with the Xbox Series X. impending release of the Switch 2 remains to be seen. This product was replaced above with the Xbox Series X. Overture PLA 3D printer filament: This is a popular choice on Amazon Here are some products we also wanted to single out that haven't been featured with a graph yet: Razer Blade 18 (2025), 5070 Ti edition: The latest revision of Razer's largest gaming laptop saw a $300 price bump recently, with the base model featured an RTX 5070 Ti graphics card now priced at $3,500 ahead of launch, compared to the $3,200 price announced in February. While Razer has stayed mum about the reasoning, it did previously suspend direct sales to the US as Trump's tariff plans were ramping up in April. Asus ROG Ally X: The premium version of Asus's Steam Deck competitor handheld gaming PC recently saw a price hike from $799 to $899, coinciding with the announcement of the company's upcoming Xbox-branded Ally handhelds.

World Of Forbes: Stories Of Entrepreneurial Capitalism Across Our 49 International Editions
Across the planet, our 49 licensed editions span six continents, 81 countries and 31 languages. They all share the same mission: celebrating entrepreneurial capitalism in all its forms. 'As a parent, one tries to convey gratitude for being alive, for effort, for virtues, honoring it with work, building something beyond oneself, not being arrogant and assuming social responsibility with community service.' Eduardo Costantini China billionaires The collective fortunes of Chinese billionaires is up 26% over 2024, despite escalating trade tensions with the U.S. ByteDance cofounder Zhang Yiming (front left) saw a more than 50% jump in his net worth to $65.5 billion, with investors optimistic about the AI potential of the tech giant's TikTok app. DeepSeek founder Liang Wenfeng (front, second from right) joined the ranks after the red-hot AI firm based in Hangzhou released its ChatGPT competitor in January. Anish Shah When Anish Shah became CEO of Mahindra Group in 2021, it was the first time someone outside the billionaire Mahindra family took the wheel since 1945, when two brothers and a third cofounder started the company in steel trading. Today, the $19 billion (revenue) Mumbai empire employs 260,000 people in 100 countries with businesses ranging from automobile manufacturing to resorts to farm equipment. Shah's next big hurdle is to maintain dominance in India's SUV and tractor market while racing into the EV future. Dean Leitersdorf Forbes Israel calls Dean Leitersdorf, 27, one of the most promising figures on its 30 Under 30 list. The computer science Ph.D., who hails from the town of Mevaseret Zion, cofounded AI startup Decart in late 2023 with Moshe Shalev and has secured $53 million in funding at a reported valuation of at least $500 million. Based in San Francisco, Decart enables organizations to develop and train big data models efficiently. It released an AI-generated video game, Oasis, which Leitersdorf says reached 1 million registered users in just three days—faster than the growth pace of OpenAI's ChatGPT. Elon Musk took notice, writing on his X platform last October, 'Wow, this is happening fast.' Leonardo Del Vecchio 'It doesn't matter how traditional or innovative a sector is; the important thing is to develop it in the Italian way,' says Leonardo Maria Del Vecchio, the 30-year-old son of late eyeglasses billionaire Leonardo Del Vecchio (d. 2022). 'I love Italy and its variety, and it is this wealth that guides my every investment choice.' Through his three-year-old family office, LMDV Capital, he has holdings in bottled water, restaurants, film production and entertainment. He's also an executive at EssilorLuxottica, which owns brands such as LensCrafters, Oakley and Ray-Ban, all of which his father acquired as founder and longtime head of Luxottica. Rolf Sorg Rolf Sorg started PM-International in 1993 and has grown it every year since. Today his $3.3 billion (revenue) Schengen-based company sells supplement pills, nutrient-rich drink blends and skin care products in nearly 100 countries. 'I've learned that success lies outside the comfort zone,' says Sorg, who is still CEO, reflecting on managing through crises and challenges like Donald Trump's recent tariffs on goods imported to the U.S. 'A building is not just infrastructure, but also the value it brings to the people who use it every day.' Ema Iftimie Demetrio Carceller Arce Demetrio Carceller Arce runs Damm, a Barcelona-based brewery that dates to 1876 and that his oilman grandfather purchased in the 1950s and passed down to his father, former billionaire Demetrio Carceller Coll (d. 2023). During three decades at the helm, Carceller Arce has prioritized expanding internationally—Damm is now in over 130 countries—while adding product categories such as soft drinks and incorporating sustainable measures like solar power generation. 'When I arrived, Damm was like a sleeping racehorse, with extraordinary potential—a local, profitable company with a century-long history,' he says. It now brings in north of $2 billion in annual revenue. Tanit Chearavanont 'Being the next tycoon makes me see myself as a big fish,' says Tanit Chearavanont, the grandson of the country's richest person, Dhanin Chearavanont, in an interview with Forbes Thailand in which he discusses the importance of next-gen leaders gaining outside experience. 'But in this generation, I see the next tycoon as a 'fast fish' that eats both big and small fish.' In his case, he's working at Bangkok-based conglomerate Charoen Pokphand Group, run by his uncle Suphachai Chearavanont. He currently leads international expansion for the group's retail arm, CP Axtra, which generated about $15 billion in 2024 revenue selling groceries and other products in nine countries. Yiğit Güocak (right) and Ali Yılmaz Former university classmates Yiğit Gürocak (right) and Ali Yılmaz created Obilet in 2012 to digitize buying bus tickets. The pair have since expanded into an online booking site for flights, hotels, car rentals and ferries. The company is headquartered in Istanbul and now operates in 50 countries, 21 languages and 33 currencies. It had attracted nearly $20 million in investments before French carpooling marketplace BlaBlaCar acquired an 80% stake in late 2024.
