Samsung Leak Reveals Competitive Galaxy S25 Edge Price

We first saw the Galaxy S25 Edge at Samsung's Galaxy Unpacked event in January. Now we might have seen the price of the fashionable smartphone.
WinFuture's Roland Quant spotted the potential pricing details. They come from Samsung's Canadian website, which briefly listed the 256 GB and 512 GB models of Galaxy S25 Edge for $1,678.99 and $1,858.99. For comparison, the Galaxy S25 Ultra costs $1,918.99 and the Galaxy S25+ $1,438.99.
Assuming the price differentials are reflected in other markets, we can expect the Galaxy S25 Edge to go on sale in the US between $1,100 and $1,200.
The South Korean company has already teased the Galaxy S25 Edge. During January's Galaxy Unpacked event, the S25 Edge was briefly shown to the audience and was visible in display stands with a 'look but don't touch' aura around it. That was enough not only to let interested consumers choose to go for a 'regular' S25 model or wait for the thinner profile model to arrive, but it also allowed Samsung to take a leading role in the thin smartphone field.
It will be interesting to look back at the end of the year to see if Samsung's 'show an ankle early' has been more effective than Apple's 'join late and trust in Apple's brand power' with the iPhone 17 Air.
Samsung is now expected to give the Galaxy S25 Edge a full launch on May 13, although there are no concrete dates for a retail release.

Valve does its homework the night before deadline: Switches Steam to run on Mac chips right as Apple announces it's ditching Intel for good
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. I've said it before and I'll say it again: my 2020 MacBook Air is the best gaming laptop I've ever owned. Not because it can run anything I throw at it (it can't) or because it's some ungodly-powerful slab of RGB (it's not). But it runs everything I want it to run—Infinity Engine RPGs, KOTOR 1 and 2, things of that nature—silently and with battery life out the wazoo. It does that because it's one of the first bits of Apple kit to use the megacorp's own, bespoke ARM line of M-series CPUs, breaking a dependence on Intel chips going all the way back to 2006. Which is neat, but there was a problem—damn near every app out there is built to work on x86 chips like Intel's, and not ARM. Apple solved that little issue with a thing called Rosetta 2, which effectively translated x86 apps to ARM on the fly when you tried to run them on ARM-based Macs. But nothing gold can stay: at this year's WWDC, Apple quietly pointed out to devs that, two macOS generations from now, Rosetta would pretty much be going the way of the dodo. Devs would have to make their apps ARM-native or sling their hook. Which brings us to Steam. Valve being Valve—and macOS making up an absolutely infinitesimal percentage of overall Steam users—it never bothered to create an Apple Silicon-native version of Steam in all these past five years. Until yesterday. With Apple suddenly putting a time limit on how long devs could rely on Rosetta, Valve has gotten its act together and released an ARM version of Steam as part of yesterday's Steam client beta. Gotta be honest, it's very relatable. It reminds me of all the university essays I scrambled to write the night before they were due. I imagine Gabe sitting on his yacht, watching Apple's coiffed execs intro WWDC, suddenly sitting bolt upright as he realises they forgot to make Steam run on modern Macs. The Apple-native version of Steam is currently only available in beta, which you can swap to by heading to your preferences, then Interface, then selecting the beta version of Steam from a drop-down menu. It works well! In my very limited (10 minutes or so) of mucking about with it, I've had better luck getting the Steam Overlay to work and game recording seems to actually function now (albeit without game audio, because Apple makes it borderline impossible to record system audio on Macs for some reason) which wasn't the case last time I messed with those features—which was admittedly a few updates ago. Anyway, the perhaps dozens of people playing Steam games on Mac can heave a sigh of relief. For a minute there, I wondered if Valve would bother to update Steam for Apple Silicon at all. Macs are a tiny fragment of its audience and Apple Silicon users are a tiny fragment of that. I'm glad Gabe still cares enough about those of us who love overpaying for hardware to keep things in working order. 2025 games: This year's upcoming releasesBest PC games: Our all-time favoritesFree PC games: Freebie festBest FPS games: Finest gunplayBest RPGs: Grand adventuresBest co-op games: Better together

iOS 26 New iPhone Release: Apple Delivers Unprecedented Update
Updated June 15 with more details of the new software. Apple announced the latest iPhone software, iOS 26, on Monday, June 9. The first release for developers came later the same day. Just three days later, Apple released a second build of the first beta — that's unprecedentedly soon. And it's now become clear that one of the most anticipated features coming to iOS 26, smart storage, is in the first beta. More on that below. Apple iOS 26 Almost always, there's no update until the second beta in late June or early July, and that routinely arrives at least two weeks after the first beta (and the first public beta is scheduled for July). So, what's going on? The update that's quietly arrived is only for iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 series models. So, iPhone 14 and earlier users won't see the update for their developer betas. To check, follow the usual route towards software updates: open Settings, choose General and then Software Update. You need to be a registered developer, of course. The old build number was 23A5260n and that moves to 23A5260u with this update. In other words, this is a new build of the first beta, not the second developer beta. Nevertheless, it's worth updating to it if you're offered it. Apple has not revealed what the differences are between the two builds, though some think it's about the battery life, for instance Juli Clover at MacRumors. 'The revised beta addresses an issue that could cause some iPhone 15 and iPhone 16 models to show a low battery symbol and be unable to start up after updating to the initial iOS 26 beta,' Clover reports. Other analyses suggest something different, like Ryan Christoffel at 9to5Mac, suggests that 'Apple discovered a crucial bug or security issue—or perhaps code that leaked future products—and felt it necessary to push a new build,' the report says. That reference to future products concerns code in the first beta which mentioned AirPods Pro 3. In the past, if your iPhone storage was almost full, it turned out to be a problem when you came to update. If there was not enough room to install the update, the user might find they had to delete content to avoid a failed update error. As WCCFTech points out, this could be a thing of the past. 'With iOS 26, Apple is proactively addressing this by reserving space ahead of time when automatic updates are enabled in the Settings app,' the report says. We don't yet know how this dynamic reservation of space will work, or how much will be automatically be set aside, but it may 'align with similar mechanisms in macOS,' the report adds. However it works, reducing friction for updates can surely only be a good thing. As more information becomes public, I'll update this post, so please check back.

International Business Machines (IBM): Quantum Computing Has Pushed It To All Time High, Says Jim Cramer
We recently published a list of . In this article, we are going to take a look at where International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) stands against other stocks that Jim Cramer discusses. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is one of the largest enterprise computing firms in the world. It is also one of the oldest technology companies in the industry. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM)'s scale and experience enable it to target some of the most important and fastest-growing sectors of the technology industry. Two such sectors are semiconductor fabrication and quantum computing. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM)'s partnership with Samsung led to the latter developing its cutting-edge gate-all-around field-effect-transistor (GAAFET) 2-nanometer chip manufacturing process. In quantum computing, International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) made a key announcement recently when it revealed that it was on track to build the world's first large-scale fault-tolerant quantum computer. Here's what Cramer had to say about the potential historic announcement: 'And IBM does have quantum, and that's one of the reasons that why IBM is at an all time high!' A closeup of a woman's hands typing rapidly on a laptop in a corporate office setting. International Business Machines Corporation (NYSE:IBM) is one of Jim Cramer's favorite stocks, and in his recent remarks he commented about the firm's exposure to currency fluctuations: 'So remember most of these companies are like wow, bring it down, IBM, people were saying maybe IBM's making too much money from a weak dollar. I happen to like IBM, for the record, but, the companies themselves are very pro weak dollar. So when you speak to them offline, they love it.' While we acknowledge the potential of IBM as an investment, our conviction lies in the belief that some AI stocks hold greater promise for delivering higher returns and have limited downside risk.
