Sky Blue iPhone 17 Air spotted in video of dummy unit
Reports indicate the iPhone 17 Air will join Apple's 2025 lineup, likely announced in September. It is expected to feature a lightweight build with a reduced chassis thickness, a brighter display, improved battery efficiency, and a refreshed camera system with better low-light performance. Some rumors point to new materials that could help lower weight without sacrificing strength.
The Air branding is new to the iPhone range but familiar from products like the MacBook Air and iPad Air, which are known for thin and light designs. If the leaks are accurate, the iPhone 17 Air could follow the same approach. If the iPhone 17 Air arrives as a thinner and lighter flagship, it will go up against rivals like Samsung's Galaxy S25, which also focus on sleek designs. Thin phones often face trade-offs in battery size or cooling, so Apple's balance between design and performance will be closely watched.
The Sky Blue color is a refreshing addition to Apple's lineup, and a thinner design could appeal to those who value comfort in hand. That said, some buyers might prefer a slightly thicker phone if it means longer battery life and improved heat management. As with most leaks, the safest approach is to wait for Apple's official announcement—but if this early look is accurate, the iPhone 17 Air could be one of the most visually striking iPhones in years.

Weekly poll results: the ringer is off all the time for many, others switch manually
Last week, we asked you whether you keep your phone ringer on and, if you do, what ringtone do you use. As we suspected, the 'ringer on all the time' option was the less common choice, but it's still how a quarter of voters use their phone daily. Then there is a nearly dead-even split between those who keep their phones on vibrate all the time and those who switch manually. Of the latter, some are lucky enough to still have a physical switch, but there will be fewer and fewer such phones as time goes by. Whether by switch or by using the settings, people who toggle their ringers based on where they are and what they are doing tend to enable it when outside or in otherwise noisy environments. Interestingly, quite a few people reported that they use some sort of automation to change the ringer profile, e.g. putting the phone on silent at night. Alternatively, some rely on smartwatches/bands for notifications, but those make up less than 10% of voters. Reading through the comments, we saw quite a few people complaining that the vibration on their phones is weak – we suspect that more people would go the 'vibrate only' route if vibration motors get a boost in power. Among people whose phones ring for incoming calls and messages, nearly half use a custom ringtone. Nearly. Usually, it's either a song they like or a particular tone from an old phone. The former change the song often enough, the latter have found the perfect ringtone and are sticking to it. If it ain't broke, don't fix it, right? Still, the majority of people use a ringtone that was included by the manufacturer – it's a 3:2 split between those who listen to the preloaded ringtones and pick one and those who never change the setting and just use the default ringtone.

Android Chrome and Photos apps both get a makeover courtesy of Google
Material 3 redesign for the Chrome settings page in Android. | Image credit-Android Police Google is also making some changes to the Google Photos app with the Pixel 10 series about to be unveiled in just days. The changes are in line with Google's Material 3 Expressive design makeovers. The new look was discovered in the app code for version 7.41 of the Google Photos app. Another look at the Material 3 redesigned Chrome settings page for Android. | Image credit-Android Police The Material 3 redesign will allow you to replace the circle that contains an image of your face in Google Photos with various shapes (this is the Material 3 face picker). After selecting the new shape of the "box" you want to contain your photo, you can change the name that the Google Photos app uses to refer to you. This is a more streamlined way to change your name than the current method, which requires you to find your photo under the People and Pets collection and type your name twice. Google doesn't include any hint of these directions anywhere in the app. Google Photos face picker. | Image credit-Forbes New tabs found on the top of the app will allow you to filter out all albums except for those shared by others, or those you've created yourself. Using these filters will stop you from having to scroll through a long list of albums or search for albums by typing in album names in the search bar, and taxing your memory. New filters found on the Material 3 redesign of Google Photos. | Image credit-Forbes The update containing the new Google Photos Material 3 Expressive redesign is rolling out now, although it seems that the Material 3 face picker might need some more work before Google releases it.
