At a record $40 off, Apple's AirPods 4 remain a summer bargain hunter's dream after Prime Day
True Wireless Earbuds with USB-C Charging Case, Personalized Spatial Audio with Dynamic Head Tracking, Apple H2 Chip, Voice Isolation, Adaptive EQ, Bluetooth 5.3, Automatic Switching, IP54 Water and Dust Resistance, Up to 5 Hours of Listening Time, Up to 30 Hours of Total Battery Life Buy at Amazon
The entry-level model sans active noise cancellation, meanwhile, is pretty much impossible to turn down at $40 off its regular price, so if you're on a tight budget this summer, you may want to hurry and pull the trigger here before it's too late. The all-time high discount, mind you, was reduced to $30 after Prime Day ended, most likely going back up to 40 bucks only temporarily. Now, I'm obviously not going to try to convince you that these are the absolute best wireless earbuds money can buy in 2025. But for their price, they're undeniably great, packing the same aforementioned Apple H2 chip as both the noise-cancelling AirPods 4 and the ultra-high-end AirPods Pro 2 and thus promising flawless connectivity with your new or old iPhone.
The overall sound quality is also solid (at the very least) thanks to premium technologies like Personalized Spatial Audio and dynamic head tracking, and the battery life (both with and without the bundled charging case factored in) matches the numbers advertised by Apple for the more expensive AirPods 4 variant.
In short, you're looking at a value proposition like (almost) no other, but it might be wise to not waste any time and pull the trigger ASAP. Secure your connection now at a bargain price!

GSMArena labs: EU Energy Label test results are now listed on our specs pages
The EU now requires that all smartphones and tablets sold in the Union have the new Energy Label on their packaging. It also created a database called 'European Product Registry for Energy Labeling' or 'EPREL' for short. That is valuable information and we are now including it in our specs pages to help you research phones before you buy. EU Energy Label info is now included in our specs pages First things first, this is an EU thing so only models sold in the EU have this data. Also, the data is provided by the manufacturers with the tests performed either by the manufacturer itself or by a third-party lab. This means that the data doesn't come from an independent source. That said, any inaccurate info should be updated as soon as it is spotted – the EU will hold manufacturers responsible for providing accurate information and it may use third-party labs to do its own verification. It should also be noted that some makers – the biggest one being Apple – are not happy with how the testing procedures are defined. Cupertino claims that some tests are under-defined or even undefined. You can read more about that here. The European Commission will take input from manufacturers and may update the testing procedures in the future. To help you better understand what all these numbers and letters mean, we have updated our Glossary with explanations and details on the key info listed on the label. Start here: EU Energy Label. Then, you can get into the more detailed articles on energy efficiency class, battery endurance (both endurance on a single charge and longevity in terms of charge cycles), screen protection (measured as hardness on the Mohs scale), repairability and free fall repairability (the latter focuses on functional damage over cosmetics when a device is dropped). You can find the EU Energy Label info for phones and tablets (where available) listed at the bottom of the specs table under the 'EU Label' heading.

iPhone Fold will trounce the competition, if this rumor is legit
AI-generated iPhone Fold image Apple reportedly plans to launch the first foldable iPhone next year, and a new report says that it might have a bigger battery than many of the current top foldable phones. Despite foldable phones making their debut seven years ago, Apple still doesn't have one in its lineup. That's typical of Apple, which is cautious about embracing new technologies. The concerns that the company had regarding foldable phones , such as display crease, have apparently been addressed, and it's allegedly targeting a 2026 launch for the first foldable iPhone . Chinese website MyDrivers has corroborated rumors that the device will feature a Samsung-made OLED panel. So far, the battery capacity of the device wasn't known, but MyDrivers has lifted the lid on the battery specs. The website says that the device will feature a battery in the range of 5,000mAh to 5,500mAh. The blog didn't delve into details about how Apple would achieve that. After all, the weight and size limitations of foldable phones don't allow for large batteries, assuming manufacturers stick with the mainstream lithium-ion batteries, which most non-Chinese vendors were some rumors about Apple exploring the use of silicon-carbon batteries for its foldable phone and the rumored iPhone 17 Air to increase capacity with the same footprint, but those leaks have largely died down. The iPhone 17 Air , for instance, is expected to use a 2,800mAh battery. The company reportedly also tried its hand at making thinner batteries, but failed. Most sources now hint that the company is more likely to focus on improving efficiency to extend the battery life on the bendable iPhone. For instance, it's expected to use improved display components to cut down on power consumption. Moving on, today's report also says the foldable iPhone will cost more than 15,000 yuan (~$2,089.73). This is in line with earlier rumors. Bloomberg today reported that the device would have largely the same design as the Galaxy Z Fold. The report said that Apple would play on Samsung's success instead of breaking new ground, which again makes it sound unlikely that the foldable iPhone will have a carbon battery. The rumor shouldn't entirely be ruled out, considering the Pixel 9 Pro Fold has a 4,650mAh cell. That phone is 10.5 mm thick in the folded state, though, whereas the bendable iPhone is likely to be around 9 to 9.5 mm thick. All things said, the bendable iPhone is more than a year away, and Apple still has time to finalize the specs. The foldable iPhone is expected to have a 7.8-inch internal screen and a 5.5-inch external display. It will allegedly have a titanium chassis and a liquid metal hinge. The phone will feature a dual-camera setup with two 48MP cameras. It will likely have Touch ID instead of Face ID. Apple is also said to be working on special software features for the phone.

Apple's Q3 earnings and Google's Pixel 10 event set the stage for fall phone wars
Two major events this summer are setting the tone for what's likely to be a very competitive fall in the smartphone world. Apple is scheduled to report its Q3 earnings on July 31, just a few weeks before Google takes the stage on August 20 to announce the Pixel 10 and a new foldable. These moments may not reveal every detail about what's coming, but they'll offer strong clues about how both companies plan to compete this fall. For Apple, the Q3 earnings call will likely be the last one before iPhone 17 revenue appears. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, this means analysts will be focused on Apple's AI efforts, potential supply chain changes, and what to expect from its next batch of hardware — including the company's first foldable iPhone. There may also be questions about Apple Intelligence and whether the company's AI features are on track to launch this year. With Google already pushing ahead with its Gemini platform, Apple faces growing pressure to show that it can deliver powerful AI features while still prioritizing privacy and on-device performance. Invite for the Pixel 10 event. | Image credit — Mark Gurman Google's Pixel 10 event, happening just three weeks later, will give the company a moment in the spotlight. While this will be the 10th phone in the Pixel line, the brand's actual 10-year anniversary isn't until 2026. Still, this release is expected to bring new hardware designs and deeper AI integration — especially in areas like image processing, voice interactions, and task automation. Google will also debut a new foldable alongside the Pixel 10 . It's expected to include design improvements and a better hinge, aimed at bringing it closer to the experience offered by Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Apple's rumored foldable iPhone. Both new foldables are expected to carry high price tags, raising questions about whether premium features will be enough to move buyers. With these events landing just weeks apart, the stage is being set for a direct comparison. Google gets a head start in August, but Apple usually dominates the conversation by mid-September. Both companies are counting on AI and next-gen hardware to differentiate themselves — and both face the challenge of convincing users to upgrade in a market that has cooled in recent years. Whether it's AI, foldables, or traditional flagships, the fall phone wars are about to begin. The real question is, are your pockets ready? I know I'll have a lot to think about when it comes to choosing my next smartphone purchase. Switch to a 2-month Total 5G or 5G+ plan with Total Wireless and score this foldable deal.
