Last month, we told you about the free one-year subscription to Google's AI One Pro that Pixel 9 users might not have been fully aware of. The subscription comes with access to Veo 3, which is Google's AI Video generation model. You can say, "Make me a video of a giant baby climbing the Empire State Building," and the model will create a high-quality, high-fidelity video no longer than 8 seconds in length of the subject requested.
The promotion not only offers one year of free access to Veo 3, it includes the ability to use Gemini's 2.5 Pro, movie creation tool Flow, Gemini in Workspace apps, and 2TB of storage. You might be wondering what the difference is between Veo 3 and Flow. The former creates the 8-second video clips you ask to see, and the latter strings together these clips to form longer scenes. After the free year expires, you'll be asked to pay the regular price of $19.99 per month. A one-year subscription is $199.99.
To take advantage of this offer, download the Google One app from the Play Store by tapping this link. The offer should be presented to you if you have an eligible phone.
Now, Samsung is offering a deal to owners of the following Galaxy handsets:
If you own one of these handsets, you are entitled to receive six free months of Google AI One Pro. Those with the aforementioned Galaxy handsets will get Gemini 2.5 Pro, Flow, Gemini in Workspace apps, and 2TB of storage. You can redeem the offer by downloading the Google One app from the Play Store, and when you open it using an eligible Galaxy phone, you should be presented with the offer.
In an effort to make the foldable Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Galaxy Z Flip 7 seem suitable for multitaskers, Samsung is giving owners of its recently released foldables the following: Two months free of Adobe Lightroom
50% off LumaFusion video editing
30% off Arcsite
30% off Noteshelf In July, Samsung gave away 12-month subscriptions to Perplexity AI Pro to many Galaxy phone and tablet owners. To redeem this offer, if you already have the Perplexity app installed from the Google Play Store, uninstall it. Open the Galaxy Store-not the Google Play Store-and install Perplexity. Complete these tasks on a compatible U.S. Galaxy phone or tablet, and you'll be upgraded to Perplexity Pro for one year. You might receive a confirmation from Perplexity to respond to.
I would suggest that anyone with a phone or tablet eligible for any of these freebies take advantage of them. Just remember to jot down the expiration date when your free subscription ends so that you can cancel the service before getting charged.

iPhone 17 Air makes the Galaxy S25 Edge look like a normal, boring phone, but is it actually any good?

The race for the slimmest flagship smartphone is now on, and it seems like Apple will be taking the lead with the iPhone 17 Air, at least when it comes to thickness. A physical comparison between the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge and a dummy unit of the iPhone 17 Air shows a clear winner: Apple's phone is much slimmer. Of course, the iPhone 17 Air will come with its own problems, the biggest one being its battery capacity. It is all but confirmed that the Air will have a battery capacity of a measly 2,900 mAh, which pales in comparison to the 3,900 mAh found on the Galaxy S25 Edge . Apple is reportedly hoping for the AI-powered battery management on iOS 26 to do the heavy lifting here, and make the iPhone 17 Air last a reasonable amount of time. Meanwhile, our Galaxy S25 Edge battery test showed that Samsung's phone lasted way longer than expected. With the Galaxy S26 Edge reportedly getting a 4,300 mAh battery early next year, a phone just as slim and with a much larger battery will be available not long after the release of the iPhone 17 Air .But these phones aren't really being marketed to power users: we've got the thicker iPhone 17 Pro Max with its bigger battery for that purpose. No, these phones are for people who prefer form over function, and the iPhone 17 Air beats the Galaxy S25 Edge quite handily in that respect.

While the Galaxy S25 Edge is 5.8 mm thick, the iPhone 17 Air is expected to be 5.5 mm instead, which is what the dummy units are modeled after. But is the iPhone 17 Air actually worth getting this year? Unless you're strictly an iPhone user, I'd say not really. According to reports, next year's Galaxy S26 Edge will be 5.5 mm thick as well, so just as thin as the Air but with a much larger battery. If I was choosing between the two, I'd honestly wait for Samsung's phone. However, that is a trap some consumers fall into: always waiting for the next best thing. Yes, the iPhone 17 Air makes the S25 Edge look pretty thick — despite such a marginal difference — and if you don't want to wait for it, I'd say have at it.

You will not be able to buy the base iPhone 18 model next year

A few days ago, a report came out about how Apple is changing its release schedule for the iPhone. Now, further details have emerged, and it appears that the schedule is a bit different to what was originally understood: there will be no base model iPhone 18 next year. Apple wants to start releasing the base model iPhone alongside Galaxy phones earlier in the year. At first, it appeared as if the iPhone 18 would make its debut alongside the Samsung Galaxy S26 lineup in early 2026, mere months after the launch of the iPhone 17. That is not the case, however. The base model of the iPhone 18 will come out in early 2027, according to a detailed new report ( translated source ). Meanwhile, the iPhone 18 Air, Pro, and Pro Max models will launch as expected: likely in September of 2026. The foldable iPhone will also release alongside the iPhone 18, and it will be marketed as the next step up from the Pro Max models. According to the report, Apple believes that this new strategy will help it improve sales of the iPhone. I don't understand how, as it would have been better had it been the other way around. If the base model came out first, then people would upgrade to that for the latest and greatest iPhone, and then upgrade again to the Pro model half a year new strategy means that people will have access to the best iPhone before the base model is out. Perhaps the company is hoping that many people, who would've bought the base model originally, will instead buy the more expensive Pro model because they don't want to wait. The iPhone 17 lineup may be the last to come out together. | Image credit — Setsuna Digital Meanwhile, the budget line will remain unchanged. The iPhone 17e will come out around the same time as its predecessor did this year. As of now, Samsung — Apple's largest smartphone rival Stateside — has no plans to shuffle around its release schedule. The Galaxy S26 phones will all release together early next year, with the Galaxy Z Flip 8 and the Galaxy Z Fold 8 following suit a few months later.

The disappointment over a potential Pixel 10 Pro Fold delay is a good sign for Google

The murmurings of a potential delay for Google's upcoming Pixel 10 Pro Fold have been met with a surprising level of disappointment from the tech community. While no delay is ever ideal, the collective sigh of impatience suggests that Google has finally hit a sweet spot with its foldable lineup. The very idea that waiting a little longer for this device is a source of frustration is a strong indicator that Google is, indeed, doing something right in a market that is only getting more competitive. This later release date, if it holds true, puts Google at a strategic disadvantage, especially with Samsung's recently launched and already popular Galaxy Z Fold 7 making waves. The foldable market is no longer a novelty but a fierce battleground for innovation, and timing is everything. A two month head start for Samsung is a significant challenge for Google to overcome. The anticipation for the Pixel 10 Pro Fold is not without merit. Leaks and rumors paint a picture of a device that looks just about the same as its predecessor, but still packing some notable upgrades. The new foldable is expected to feature a larger 6.4 inch external display, offering a more traditional smartphone experience when closed. Internally, the device is said to be powered by Google's new Tensor G5 chip. While not considered a huge leap by some, this is actually a crucial development, as the G5 is rumored to be a fully custom design manufactured by TSMC on a 3nm process. This could translate to significant gains in performance and power efficiency, addressing some of the criticisms leveled at previous Tensor generations. Other rumored upgrades include a larger 5,015 mAh battery, improved thermal management, and the inclusion of Qi2 wireless charging with a new "PixelSnap" magnetic system. These are not just incremental updates but a concerted effort by Google to build a premium, no compromise foldable.

It's lighter and thinner than its predecessor, boasts a powerful 200MP main camera, and is powered by the formidable Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy processor. Samsung is also leaning heavily into artificial intelligence, with a suite of features optimized for the larger foldable screen. From a hardware perspective, the Z Fold 7 is a tour de force. Google's Pixel 10 Pro Fold will need to deliver on all its promises to compete effectively. The broader foldable market is at an interesting inflection point. While still a niche segment, it's a high growth, high margin area that is attracting more and more consumers. However, barriers to adoption remain. High prices and concerns about durability are the two main reasons why many people are still hesitant to switch to a foldable device. For Google to succeed, it needs to not only deliver a compelling product but also convince mainstream consumers that the benefits of a foldable device outweigh the risks. The positive buzz around the Pixel 10 Pro Fold , and the disappointment at its potential delay, suggests that Google is on the right track. From my perspective, the emotional response to the Pixel 10 Pro Fold 's rumored delay is the most telling sign of Google's progress. It's one thing to launch a technically impressive device; it's another to create a product that people are genuinely excited about. I've personally even read comments online to the tune of "I'm almost glad it's being delayed so I have more time to save up for it." No joke. If almost feels like the FOMO (fear or missing out) is real and yours truly is guilty of having it. If Google can capitalize on this anticipation and deliver a device that lives up to the hype, the Pixel 10 Pro Fold could be a turning point for the company in the foldable space. The wait until October may be a little longer than we'd like, but if it results in a more polished and reliable product, it will be well worth it. The foldable race is a marathon, not a sprint, and Google seems to be hitting its stride.
