The mini-sized 512GB iPad mini A17 Pro gets a sweet $100 discount at Amazon
$100 off (13%)
The small-sized iPad mini A17 Pro offers exceptional performance in a tiny package, plus it stands out with excellent battery life. The best part about it? You can currently save $100 on the 512GB variants in Space Gray and Blue. Buy at Amazon Sure, that's not the best discount we've ever come across at the e-commerce giant. For example, this month's Prime Day slashed the latest iPad mini by $120, which remains its highest price cut to date. However, the event is over and gone, and there's little chance of the promo returning anytime soon. In other words, if you missed out during Prime Day, now's a good time to save.The iPad mini (A17 Pro) is a solid upgrade over its predecessor. The new A17 Pro chip ensures blazing-fast performance and provides plenty of gaming potential. But that's not all! Despite its small size, the display boasts pro-level features like P3 wide color gamut, True Tone, and Night Shift for color temperature adjustments.
As mentioned in our iPad mini (A17 Pro) review, the 8.3-inch display features Apple's anti-glare coating. This one isn't as premium as the Galaxy S10 Ultra, but it enhances your visual experience. The screen offers vivid colors and crisp resolution, making it a great pick for on-the-go entertainment. That said, there's one drawback worth noting: like the iPad Air, the display is limited to a 60Hz refresh rate. What's truly impressive here — besides the excellent performance — is battery life. You get over nine hours of nonstop browsing per charge, or over seven hours of screen time during long gaming sessions. In other words, the iPad mini (A17 Pro) doesn't just give you loads of horsepower in a tiny package, but it also keeps up with your day.
If that sounds good enough to you, we recommend checking out Amazon's latest sale. Get the 512GB variant in Space Gray or Blue and save $100 while it lasts.

Google makes fun of Apple's delayed AI features
Google is unveiling the Pixel 10, Pixel 10 Pro, Pixel 10 Pro XL, and Pixel 10 Pro Fold on August 20 alongside the Pixel Watch 4 and Pixel Buds 2a. Ahead of that, we've seen all of these devices leaking multiple times, sometimes even multiple times per day, and Google itself has been teasing its next-gen products here and there. Today, the company has uploaded a new teaser video to its YouTube channel, and this one pokes Apple very hard. See for yourself: In case you couldn't watch the video for whatever reason, note that it's all about Apple's constantly delayed AI features. The voiceover in the video tells you that if you buy a new phone because of a feature that's coming soon, but it's been coming soon for a full year (ouch), then you either need to change your definition of the word "soon", or change your phone. Obviously, Google would prefer that you switch to a Pixel, if you're a disgruntled Apple customer. Google assumes those exist, but in reality there aren't really that many of them. Definitely not enough to make any sort of significant impact on Google's smartphone sales, that's for sure. Anyway, the fact that Google's teaser video is using an instrumental version of the track The Next Episode by Dr. Dre & Snoop Dogg is noteworthy too, since Dr. Dre sold Beats to Apple in 2014. We assume it wasn't a coincidence that Google chose one of Dre's best known songs of all time.

Apple's foldable iPad now rumored to be delayed
While a lot of rumors have recently converged upon the fact that Apple's first foldable iPhone is coming in late 2026, or perhaps early 2027 at the latest, a foldable iPad - or Mac - with an 18.8-inch screen also used to be talked about a lot. At one point this was even said to be the first folding-screen Apple device to reach the market. But all of that has changed now, and a new report from GF Securities analyst Jeff Pu claims we'll be waiting a lot for this device to actually arrive. Specifically, Pu, who's well versed in Apple-related information, says the larger foldable has been delayed by Apple internally. This means it will no longer enter mass production in Q4 2026 for a likely release in 2027. Unfortunately, Pu hasn't gone into more detail about how long the delay is going to be. Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, a reliable source of Apple-related information, thinks a foldable iPad is only coming in 2028 (but with a 20" screen). It's still unclear if this will be an iPad or a Mac, by the way, but anyway it's a device with a folding screen, and one that's bigger than the foldable iPhone will be. What exact OS it runs is kind of irrelevant if it's still three years out. Via

New iPhone 17 Air battery leak might make you reevaluate the Galaxy S25 Edge
If you've been expecting Apple to outclass Samsung in terms of battery size in the newly established ultra-thin flagship phone category this year, then... you've probably not paid much attention to the iPhone 17 Air rumors floating around these last few months. The first-of-a-kind iOS handset expected to go up against the Galaxy S25 Edge starting next month has long been tipped (by more than one source) to pack a sub-3,000mAh cell, and now there's cold hard evidence supporting that theory. Obviously, no one knows the answer to that question (for sure) at the moment, but the freshly leaked images purporting to show the phone's battery paint quite a spectacular picture. Unfortunately, they also make it virtually impossible for the iPhone 17 Air to break the aforementioned 3,000mAh cell capacity barrier, with the exact number instead being very likely to sit at "approximately" 2,900mAh. That's a crazy thin battery by any standards. | Image Credit -- Majin Bu All this information comes from an insider who's been right about some things in the past and wrong about a few others, so it's not technically etched in stone just yet. But there's rarely (this much) smoke without fire around an unannounced product in the rumor mill, so you can probably say that the iPhone 17 Air is essentially guaranteed now to pack a considerably smaller battery than its direct rival. Yes, this astoundingly thin 2,900mAh cell might make the Galaxy S25 Edge look like a battery life champion considering that Samsung's 6.7-inch Snapdragon 8 Elite powerhouse with a 5.8mm waist stands at no less than 3,900mAh in the battery size department. Our Galaxy S25 Edge review, remember, was not exactly glowing with battery endurance praise, so you can imagine that the iPhone 17 Air is likely to deliver even lower numbers between charges if the 2,900mAh capacity rumor pans out. Of course, Apple does have a knack of squeezing the best possible times out of smaller batteries than the competition, but in this particular case, the tech giant may need a miracle to play in the same league as Samsung. And that's before the Galaxy S26 Edge will allegedly take things to the next level in early 2026 with a 4,400 or 4,500mAh battery. Pretty bad, I'm afraid, with last year's "vanilla" iPhone 16, for instance, standing at close to 3,600mAh, and this year's base iPhone 17 likely to more or less keep that figure unchanged. You have to go back to something like the 2020-released iPhone 12 to find a sub-3,000mAh battery (2,815mAh, to be specific) in a non-diminutive Apple handset, with 2021's iPhone 13 mini, of course, packing an even smaller 2,438mAh cell. Believe it or not, that's (allegedly) the iPhone 17 Air battery next to the iPhone 17 Pro battery. | Image Credit -- Majin Bu The problem with the iPhone 17 Air is that its screen size is rumored to come much closer to the 7-inch mark than 6 or 6.5 inches, so it's really hard to be optimistic that a 2,900mAh battery will be able to keep such a gargantuan (and undoubtedly high-resolution) Super Retina display going for reasonable times between charges. Sub-par battery life could prove especially problematic if the razor-thin device ends up costing $900 or more, as a number of sources have claimed in recent months. The iPhone 17 Air , remember, is likely to act as a follow-up of sorts to the rather unpopular iPhone 16 Plus, which starts at $899 in the US with a "normal" 7.8mm profile, large 6.7-inch screen, and fittingly hefty 4,700mAh or so battery.
