The US-bound Motorola Edge (2025) has just leaked in all its (familiar) glory

The US-bound Motorola Edge (2025) has just leaked in all its (familiar) glory

Phone Arena5 days ago

Despite being a top three smartphone vendor in the US, Motorola often gives other markets priority, internationally unveiling four different Edge 60 series handsets over the last couple of months without bringing a single equivalent stateside... so far.
Most definitely. But while it might not be entirely clear at first glance what member of the Edge 60 family this unreleased device will take after, a closer inspection of the ultra-high-quality promotional images on hand should leave very few questions unanswered. Yes, the Edge (2025) strongly resembles both the "vanilla" Edge 60 and the slightly higher-end Edge 60 Pro, but only the latter features a button on its side that's clearly visible in a few of the pictures embedded below. And if the so-called "AI Key" will be borrowed from the Motorola Edge 60 Pro, it's safe to assume other key (no pun intended) features and specifications will also stay largely the same between the two mid-rangers. Then again, because the US-specific Motorola Edge (2024) is not completely identical to either the "international" Edge 50 or the Edge 50 Pro, you may not want to jump to too many conclusions here, at least for the time being. What I can say for sure is that we're looking at a very aesthetically pleasing smartphone with a quad-curved display, swanky vegan leather finish, triple rear-facing camera system, a robust body designed to handle water and dust immersion, and that aforementioned physical button for quick access to Motorola's proprietary AI capabilities. Oh, and the colorway seems to be different from all the existing Edge 60 and Edge 60 Pro paint jobs out there. 6.7-inch P-OLED display with 2712 x 1220 pixel resolution, 120Hz refresh rate technology, and 4500 nits peak brightness;
MediaTek Dimensity 8350 Extreme processor;
8 and 12GB RAM options;
256 and 512GB storage configurations;
50 + 10 + 50MP rear-facing cameras;
50MP front-facing camera;
6,000mAh battery;
90W wired and 15W wireless charging support;
IP68 and IP69 water and dust resistance;
Android 15 software out the box ;
; Under-display fingerprint sensor;
Dual stereo speakers with Dolby Atmos technology;
160.7 x 73.1 x 8.2mm dimensions;
186 grams weight. Before you get too excited, that's the Edge 60 Pro spec sheet, which may or may not be copied to the letter by the North American Edge (2025).
The Edge 2025 is sure to handle almost everything you throw at it in the great outdoors. | Image Credit -- Evan Blass on X The Edge (2024), remember, started at $550 in the US with a 6.6-inch screen, Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 SoC, dual 50 + 13MP rear-facing camera setup, and 5,000mAh battery on deck, so if this is its sequel, that recommended price could well go up to $600 or $650.
Even if that happens, though, you shouldn't panic, as the Edge (2024) scored some very substantial discounts surprisingly quickly after its commercial debut, which is likely to be the case for the Edge (2025) as well.

iQOO 15 screen and camera specs tipped

The iQOO 13 was among the first phones to launch with Qualcomm's Snapdragon 8 Gen Elite when it made its debut in late October of last year and expectations are that its successor will launch around the same time this fall. Digital Chat Station went ahead and shared some preliminary specs for the device, which will apparently be called iQOO 15. As per the post, the iQOO 15 will feature a Samsung-made 6.85-inch "2K" display. This is most likely an LTPO AMOLED panel, and the tipster suggests that it will utilize the LIPO (low injection pressure overmolding) display packing process, which helps reduce display bezels. Aside from the fancy new display, iQOO 15 is expected to offer a periscope camera module, which would be an upgrade from the 2x telephoto found on its predecessor. Previous rumors also suggest a 7,000mAh battery. vivo iQOO 13 Source (in Chinese) | Via

$406 billion moved through the App Store last year and most of it skipped Apple's cut

The App Store is the main hub where iOS users and developers come together. Apple backs it with plenty of resources and tools to keep things safe and trustworthy. Speaking of which, just recently, Apple revealed it has stopped over $9 billion in fraud over the last five years. And now, the company is opening up with even more impressive stats about the App just dropped some big numbers about its App Store, showing just how massive the ecosystem has become – and I think it's clearly trying to show regulators and critics that it's not as greedy as some claim. According to a new study backed by Apple, the App Store facilitated $406 billion in developer billings and sales in 2024 in the US alone and over 90% of that didn't result in any commission going to Apple. That stat might raise eyebrows, but here's the catch: Apple's definition of "facilitated by the App Store" includes stuff like Uber rides, DoorDash orders, retail purchases through store apps and even ad revenue. Since Apple doesn't take a cut from physical goods, real-world services or in-app ads, most of that massive $406B doesn't go through Apple's commission system, but even more on that in just a bit. The study, conducted by Boston University professor Andrey Fradkin and economist Dr. Jessica Burley, highlights just how much the App Store has grown. In fact, the ecosystem has nearly tripled in size since 2019 – back then it was $142 billion. Earnings for US developers more than doubled in that same period and small developers saw a 76% increase in revenues from 2021 to 2024. – Tim Cook , Apple's CEO, May 2025 In 2024 alone, the App Store helped drive a massive $406 billion in developer billings and sales in the US. | Image credit – Apple In 2024, the App Store ecosystem in the US broke down like this: $277 billion from physical goods and services (think retail shopping, food delivery, travel) $75 billion from in-app advertising $53 billion from digital goods and services (like in-app purchases, subscriptions, etc.) Apple says spending on physical goods and services has more than tripled since 2019. Travel and food delivery even passed ride-hailing in 2024. Meanwhile, digital goods and in-app ad spending more than remained the top-earning category, but productivity, education and business apps also saw strong says US-based developers are finding success worldwide, with their apps ranking among the top 5 most downloaded in 170 out of 175 storefronts. The App Store's global payment and commerce system is a big reason why developers are able to monetize easily around the world. The company is also rolling out more tools to help developers grow, including updates to App Store Connect, better analytics and new features like App Store Accessibility Nutrition Labels coming later this year. So, back to that 90% figure – it's not that Apple suddenly got generous. It's more about how it defines what counts as App Store-related revenue. If someone buys a meal through a restaurant's app or grabs an item off Amazon, Apple facilitates that transaction by hosting the app but doesn't take a cut. But when it comes to digital goods – like game items, subscriptions or premium features – Apple definitely takes its slice. It's 15% for smaller devs and 30% for the bigger ones. That cut has been the center of a lot of criticism and legal fights, like the battle with Epic Games that recently forced Apple to allow alternate payment options in the US. Apple says its fee covers way more than just processing payments. It points to things like fraud prevention, customer support, app discovery and tight integration across devices. Still, for many developers, that 30% feels steep – especially when their entire business depends on in-app started back in 2008 as a pretty simple setup – devs make apps, Apple takes a small cut – has now become one of the biggest platforms in the world. And the debate over how it monetizes that ecosystem isn't going away anytime soon.
