Zoe Kravitz sparks concern over shockingly thin appearance as she steps out in NYC after surprise Emmy nom
Zoe Kravitz has sparked fan concern over her 'thin' appearance as she enjoyed an outing in NYC this week. The Batman actress, 36 - who has been romantically linked to hunky actor Noah Centineo - kept busy on Thursday in the Big Apple while putting on a leggy display in a stylish look. However, some social media users voiced worry over the star's slim figure in the comment section of an Instagram post shared by gossip site DeuxMoi. One penned, 'I never noticed how tiny she is,' while another wrote, 'She doesn't look healthy.' A fan also typed out, 'She looks TINY,' while others continued to say that she appears 'too thin' in the recent images. However, another expressed, 'She has always been petite and small frame. She looks gorgeous just like her mother. Channing fumbled,' referencing to Zoe's ex-fiance Channing Tatum. Other fans also compared the actress to her mother Lisa Bonet - who was married to singer Lenny Kravitz from 1987 until 1993. 'Man, she looks so much like her beautiful mama!' one typed out, and another shared, 'She looks so much like her mother in these.' Another came to the her defense and added, 'Everyone commenting on her weight is so obviously seething with jealousy, the gym is always open to you plus some people really are that naturally thin, maybe yall should cry about it.' During the daytime excursion, Kravitz put on a leggy display in a pair of black, mini shorts as well as a printed, red shirt. She additionally slipped into a pair of open-toed, black pumps and easily carried a Yves Saint Laurent purse in her left hand. Her dark locks were parted in the middle and pulled back into a low up do, allowing loose strands to fall down her back. Zoe opted for minimal accessories as she exited The Bowery Hotel and sported small earrings as well as black shades. The star sipped on an iced coffee that she also carried while heading to her next destination. 'Man, she looks so much like her beautiful mama!' one typed out, and another shared, 'She looks so much like her mother in these' The High Fidelity actress later slipped into a pair of black sweatpants and added a black hat on top of her head. Kravitz has previously opened up about confidence and inner beauty during an interview in InStyle in 2018. 'I'm just trying to listen to my body, spirit, and heart and notice when I don't feel good. And when that happens, I shift my energy or my perspective.' She continued, 'Steam rooms are, like, my favorite places ever. For me, spas aren't for getting my nails done. I want to sweat it out. I have a steam room in my house because it just makes me feel so good. 'When I'm in L.A., I go to a Korean spa and spend hours there sweating it out, moving the energy.' And while talking to Elle, the beauty also discussed her form of self-care and emphasized the importance of hydration - and allowing a cheat day once in a while. 'Trying to drink enough water is such a huge thing. I really don't. Sometimes I'll realize it's five o'clock and I've had the tiniest glass of water. I try to go to the gym or at least walk and move my body around.' She added, 'I try eating well - making sure you're eating greens or steamed veggies, or stuff that doesn't have a lot of oil or chemicals. 'But if you want to go to McDonald's every once in a while, do it! But it's about clean food that hasn't been processed.' Earlier this week, the nominations for the 2025 Emmys were announced - with the ceremony set to be held later this year on September 14. Zoe garnered a nod for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series after she played herself in the satirical comedy series The Studio. The cast also included Seth Rogen - one the show's co-creators - as well as Chase Sui Wonders, Catherine O'Hara, Ike Barinholtz, Kathryn Hahn and Bryan Cranston. During an interview with Deadline, Kravitz opened up about portraying an unhinged version of herself. 'If you can't make fun of yourself, I think there's something wrong. And so I was really excited to make fun of myself, or the idea of myself, and the awards cycle, and all of that.' Zoe added, 'I think it's something to laugh at and to explore - it's not just pointing and laughing.' Nine months earlier, the actress split from fiance Channing Tatum - after the former couple began dating in 2021. Kravitz has since been linked to actor Noah Centineo after the pair were seen spending time together this year. They were last spotted a couple months ago in May while out in NYC.

Apple iPhone 17 Air Battery: Unwelcome News Revealed In Latest Leak
Apple is thought to be releasing four iPhones this September (read here for the exact release date). Alongside the iPhone 17, iPhone 17 Pro and iPhone 17 Pro Max will be a super-thin model, presumed to be called iPhone 17 Air. But the thin profile has ramifications when it comes to how long the battery will last. Apple is soon to release its latest iPhones and one could be super-thin. Since the new phone is thought to be just 5.5mm thick from front to back (so, even thinner than the recently released Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge), there's not much room for a big battery. Squeezing stuff in to a svelte device like this will be tough — and may be why there's only one rear camera expected on it as sensors and lenses take up space internally as well as outside. iPhone 17 Air: The Bad News A new post on Weibo from regular leaker Instant Digital, picked up by MacRumors, says that the battery capacity will be less than 3,000 mAh. When you compare that to reports that the iPhone 17 Pro Max (expected to be a record-breaking Pro iPhone for thickness and other features) will have a 5,000 mAh battery and you can see why people might be disappointed. After all, a thin, gorgeous design is desirable, but not if it conks out at lunchtime. This report corroborates a previous rumor that the battery will have a lower capacity than most iPhones of recent years. However, there's good news as well. iPhone 17 Air: The Good News The leaker has some comfort: 'Although the battery does not exceed 3000mAh, the whole power saving mode should be able to last for one day,' they say. The power saving mode seems to refer to the Adaptive Power Mode coming with iOS 26, something Bloomberg's Mark Gurman has previously noted, and which should provide a windfall of extra battery life for all iPhone 17 models — and even some current iPhones. Note that Instant Digital is still only predicting 'one day' of battery life. But, after all, nearly everyone charges their iPhone overnight, right?

The iPhone Fold design might be losing to the Galaxy Z Fold 7 even before it's announced
iPhone Fold render | Image credit — Ming-Chi Kuo The iPhone Fold might be very thin in comparison to other Apple products, but it may still fall behind the likes of Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Honor Magic V5. A new rumor claims that Apple's foldable could be just 4.8mm thick when unfolded. A report by Instant Digital on Weibo claims (source in Chinese) that the frame of the foldable iPhone will measure just 4.8mm. If that information turns out to be true, that could be Apple's thinnest device, at least when unfolded. The iPhone 16 is 7.8mm thick, and the 13-inch M4 iPad Pro, which Apple says is the thinnest product it has ever created, measures just 5.1mm. Thinness has always been important for Apple, sometimes to a fault, but this time the company might lag. Even if the iPhone Fold is as thin as claimed, the current generation of foldables is already thinner. The Galaxy Z Fold 7 is only 4.2mm thick when unfolded, and the Ivory White version of the Honor Magic V5 measures at just 4.1mm. More strikingly, the iPhone Fold could fall even further behind when closed. Theoretically, the device could be as slim as 9.6mm when folded, but that's unlikely, and even Instant Digital warns against such a conclusion. The leaker says that 'the thickness of the inner screen frame pad' should be taken into consideration, though they don't share how thick that element might be. When folded, the Galaxy Z Fold 7 is 8.9mm thick, and the Honor Magic V5 is 8.8mm for its thinner Ivory White version. If we assume that the iPhone Fold also has an extra 0.5mm in the thickness of both sides when folded, it could reach over 10mm. On paper, 9mm and 10mm don't sound that different, but that's still over a 10% difference. Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 7 | Image credit — PhoneArena This rumor is very likely to be close to Apple's actual achievements. Instant Digital doesn't have the best track record, but it has made correct claims in the past. Besides, this new report confirms earlier rumors from analyst Ming-Chi Kuo, who is considered a more reliable source. In March, Kuo claimed that the iPhone Fold would measure between 4.5mm and 4.8mm when unfolded. That means Apple could still achieve more competitive dimensions for its first foldable smartphone. I think that the rumor will turn out to be close to the truth. Apple counts on display technology from Samsung, so it would be a surprise if the iPhone Fold manages to outdo the Galaxy Z Fold 7 in that regard. What's more, Apple will likely focus on other features when promoting its foldable phone, and it'll compare it to other Apple devices, like it did with the M4 iPad Pro.

After using the Galaxy S25 Edge, I have one word on the brain: 'Frankenstein'
Since 2020, Samsung's Galaxy S lineup has stayed incredibly consistent. Each year, we see a Galaxy S, Galaxy S Plus, and Galaxy S Ultra. This year, in the Galaxy S25 series that launched in February, we saw the same but also a tease for a new, ultra-thin model to come later on. Eventually, we found out the phone's name: the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge. Today, I got to use that phone for the first time. If you only care about the phone's star feature, which is how svelte it is, let me assure you: this phone is hella thin. However, Samsung needed to make a ton of sacrifices to get it to be that way, and some of those sacrifices might be too difficult to stomach. There's also the question of this phone's identity amongst its Galaxy S25 siblings, which I can only summarize using the word 'Frankenstein.' Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge design: Yeah, it's thin C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is much thinner than any Galaxy S phone before it. If you ignore the camera bump, it's just 5.8mm thick, which is about 2.4mm less than the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra (see them compared in the image above). The Galaxy S25 Edge is not the thinnest phone Samsung has ever made, but it's the thinnest ever Galaxy S phone. Notably, an unfolded Galaxy Z Fold 6 is thinner than this by 0.2mm, so this is far from the thinnest smartphone Samsung's ever made. Regardless, 5.8mm is very, very thin for a non-foldable phone, and when I held it in my hand, I immediately felt the lack of heft. Additionally, because it's so thin, it also weighs very little at 163g — not too far off from the Galaxy S25's weight, despite this phone having sim. While using the Galaxy S25 Edge, I felt like I'd break it. I didn't try, for obvious reasons, but I feel like I could have crushed it in my hand if I wanted. Meanwhile, holding the Galaxy S25 Ultra in one hand and the Edge in the other, the Ultra felt like a brick in comparison. It's too early for me to fall on one side or the other, but I feel like a phone with a thickness between the two is what I'd want the most. C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Anyway, outside of how thin and light the Galaxy S25 Edge is, the only other notable design element of the phone is the camera module. It looks very different from all other Galaxy S25 phones, and not just because it only has two lenses (which I'll talk about more soon). The design aesthetic of the cameras on the other Galaxy S25 models is nowhere to be found, which is a truly bizarre decision. The Edge is very thin, but it also has a redesigned camera module that makes it stand out from the other Galaxy S25 phones. As a refresher, Samsung designed the camera modules on the Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and S25 Ultra phones to be aesthetically the same in an attempt to bring some brand cohesion to the line. It is truly puzzling that Samsung did this and then, just months later, launched another Galaxy S25 phone that does not have that aesthetic. C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Regardless, the Galaxy S25 Edge is a Galaxy S phone through and through. It's a lot skinnier and leaves behind the camera module design, but it brings over everything else, including flat sides, the same port placement, an unchanged button array on the right side, and even a note-for-note recreation of the Galaxy S25 Plus' display (specs included). The only notable difference here is that the glass that covers the display is Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, and not the Gorilla Glass Armor 2 on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The Ceramic version is just as strong as the Armor version, but it lacks Armor's anti-reflective coating, which is very disappointing. That's a great way for me to segue into my Frankenstein analogy, so here we go. Frankenstein's monster: Made from other parts C. Scott Brown / Android Authority OK, so Dr. Frankenstein created life by piecing together parts from dead people. He took an arm from this guy, a leg from that guy, and a brain from another, and threw them all together to make a creature. It's alivveeee! Samsung has done the same with the Galaxy S25 Edge. Although it looks a bit different from its siblings on the outside, there's nothing new inside that you haven't seen on the three other Galaxy S25 models. Like Dr. Frankenstein's monster, the Galaxy S25 Edge is just a collection of parts from the other three Galaxy S25 phones. From the vanilla Galaxy S25, Samsung took the battery and charging capabilities. The Galaxy S25 Edge charges at 25W with a cable and 15W wirelessly, just like the Galaxy S25. Notably, 25W is far slower than the Plus and Ultra, which both charge at 45W. The battery in the Galaxy S25 Edge is actually even smaller than the one in the Galaxy S25, even though the phone is significantly larger with a higher resolution display. For the record, the Edge's battery has a capacity of 3,900mAh, just shy of the 4,000mAh capacity of the Galaxy S25. C. Scott Brown / Android Authority It's too early to give battery life stats for the phone, but even Samsung has low expectations for it. During my briefing, the company told me the phone typically clocks in with longer battery life than the Galaxy S24 but less than the Galaxy S25. That's…not a great look, Samsung. It's mind-boggling that the company went this route. When I heard that the Edge was incredibly thin, I thought for sure this was going to be Samsung's first smartphone with a silicon-carbon battery, similar to the one seen in the OnePlus 13. That would make sense: a very thin phone with the same battery life as a 'normal' phone, thanks to this new technology. Clearly, that's not the case, though. I just don't get it. A phone this thin would be the perfect way to debut a silicon-carbon battery, but no: the battery in the Galaxy S25 Edge is just a normal battery that is really small. Moving on to the Galaxy S25 Plus, Samsung took its display, its 12GB of RAM, and its storage options (256GB and 512GB). Considering this phone also has the Qualcomm Snapdragon 8 Elite for Galaxy under the hood, that makes the phone's insides most comparable to the Plus model. Finally, from the Galaxy S25 Ultra, the Edge took its cameras (but not all of them, which I'll talk about in the next section), the titanium rails, and the colorways, including Titanium Silver, Titanium Icyblue, and Titanium Jetblack. Galaxy S25 Edge cameras: Something's missing… C. Scott Brown / Android Authority Because the Galaxy S25 Edge is so thin, it simply couldn't accommodate the periscope telephoto lens we see on the Galaxy S25 Ultra. Samsung electing to not transfer that to the Edge makes sense. However, Samsung also neglected to bring the other telephoto lens over to the Edge, leaving it a telephoto-free phone. The Galaxy S25 Edge's cameras are all borrowed from the Galaxy S25 Ultra. The problem is that two of those cameras are missing. That means you get three lenses in the Edge ported over from the Ultra: the 200MP primary, the 12MP ultrawide, and the 12MP selfie camera. Samsung told me that the vast majority of its users shoot photos in one of four magnifications: 0.6x, 1x, 2x, and 5x. Based on this internal data, the company reasoned that the 200MP primary sensor can handle three of those magnifications through digital cropping, with the 0.6x setting falling to the ultrawide. Of course, Samsung also talked about how Galaxy AI camera features will pick up the slack for any quality deficiencies. The Galaxy S25 Edge has all the Galaxy AI features of the other three Galaxy S25 phones, which means all the nifty camera tricks, too. C. Scott Brown / Android Authority While this reasoning seems sound, a phone that costs this much should come with at least one telephoto lens. The fact that it doesn't will make it difficult to compete with most other phones on the market that fall at this price point, including Samsung's own Galaxy S25 Plus. Should a phone that costs this much not come with a telephoto lens? Another thing I discovered during my limited time with the device is that Samsung limits its zoom capabilities to 10x. This makes sense — without a telephoto, going further than this is going to push the 200MP primary sensor well beyond its limits — but it is interesting to see Samsung move backwards like this after touting its 100x zoom capabilities on the Ultra models for so many years. Even the Galaxy S25 and S25 Plus can go to 30x, and their telephoto lenses are showing their age. Finally, the Galaxy S25 Edge has one ace up its sleeve that no other Galaxy S25 phone has, which is Log video recording through the selfie camera. The Galaxy S25, S25 Plus, and even the S25 Ultra can't do this. I asked Samsung if it would push Log support for selfie video to the other phones, and it said, 'Maybe.' A monster of a price, too C. Scott Brown / Android Authority There's no way to sugarcoat this, so here we go: the 256GB version of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has an MSRP of $1,099. That makes it more expensive than the Galaxy S25 Plus. The 512GB version of the Edge hits $1,219, which is just $80 shy of the 256GB version of the Ultra. For the life of me, I can't understand how Samsung thinks this will work in its favor. A phone that has a few of the Galaxy S25 Ultra cameras, most of the specs of the Plus, but with a battery that is smaller than the S25's and charges just as slowly, should not cost over $1,000. But, here we are. This becomes even more confounding when you realize that the other three phones in the lineup have already come down in price. Right now, it's easy to find the Galaxy S25 Plus ($999.99 at Amazon) for under $850. It's also easy to find the Galaxy S25 Ultra ($1299.99 at Amazon) for under $1,000. It will be months before the Edge drops below its $1,099 price, so who would choose this over either of those, considering the compromises? This doesn't even take into account other phones that don't have the Samsung logo on the back. The Google Pixel 9 Pro XL ($1099 at Amazon) — a phone that mops the floor with the S25 Edge by nearly every metric, except for thinness and weight — has a matching MSRP of $1,099. That phone is even older than the Galaxy S25 series, so finding it in the ~$800 range is easy, too. There's also the aforementioned OnePlus 13 ($899.99 at OnePlus), which has an even lower MSRP of $899. That comes with the silicon-carbon battery technology the Edge should have come with, and has all the other bells and whistles of a 2025 flagship smartphone. I just don't get what Samsung is trying to do here. Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge hands-on: Why so skinny? C. Scott Brown / Android Authority The thing I keep coming back to again and again here is 'Why?' Why did Samsung decide to Frankenstein this phone together at this price? Was it to prove that it could make a phone this thin? That would be a valid enough reason, for sure, but that's not a valid reason for people to buy it. What's so disappointing is that there is a pricing gap between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the Galaxy S25 Ultra that Samsung should fill with something. Last year, I imagined this as a 'Samsung Galaxy S25 Pro,' which Frankensteined the best features from the Plus and the Ultra, removed the S Pen, and cut down on a few premium specs and features to keep the Ultra at the top. Not every Samsung fan agreed with my take there, but I feel like even naysayers would agree that the Galaxy S25 Edge is not it, either. Last year, I imagined a 'Galaxy S25 Pro,' my own imaginary Frankenstein creation. I think that would have been better than this. I realize that similar things were probably said about Samsung's original foldable phones. People lambasted those devices for lacking flagship-level specs just to get a device that folds. The difference, though is that there was a new, extremely novel technology involved there. With this, there's…thinness. That's it. I don't think that's enough. I want to close this out by saying I haven't used this phone long enough to say whether it's good or not. We'll have a full review of the phone soon, and we'll find out just how much its 5.8mm thickness changes things and whether or not a $1,100 phone can compete without a telephoto lens. But simply from a practical standpoint of examining the ratio between specs and value, the Galaxy S25 Edge seems like it's already lost. What do you think? Is this the phone you would have Frankensteined together, if you'd had the opportunity? Let me know in the comments!
