Tempest Rising and Broken Arrow are spearheading a comeback for old-style RTS games. Elsewhere, the boomer shooter is still going strong thanks to Selaco, Boltgun, and Ultrakill. But if were reviving all these classic genres, then what about the erstwhile six-degrees-of-freedom, or 6DOF game? Forsaken is maybe the best-remembered example. But theres also Descent, Terracide, and the still-gorgeous Adrenix, bygone icons of PCs past. Mixing the core mechanics of those historic shooters with a space dogfighting setup akin to No Mans Sky and Elite Dangerous, The Waking Ashes is a new FPS you can sample very soon.

The era of Touch ID is over. Sorry, nostalgic Apple fans. Yes, you'll still find fingerprint readers in a few places on Apple devices, such as MacBook keyboards and iPad sleep buttons. But gone are the days of the iconic Touch ID home button on the iPhone and iPad. In fact, once the next-generation iPhone SE launches in the coming months, we're not likely to ever see it again.If you're like my mother and you fear all change, I've got some good news for you. Apple's discontinued iPad 9th-Gen tablet is back in stock at a few different retailers, including Amazon and Best Buy. It's also on sale at the lowest price I've seen in a while just $249 at Amazon for the 64GB model or $398.99 for the 256GB option. The only bad news is that inventory keeps coming and going, so you'll have to keep checking back a few times a day if you miss the restock that happened at the time of this writing. As for Best Buy, I don't recommend buying one there because it's actually $0.99 more expensive than the newer iPad 11th-Gen, which is down to an all-time low of $299 right now.Apple iPad (9th Generation): with A13 Bionic chip, 10.2-inch Retina Display, 256GB, Wi-Fi, 12MPPrice: $398.99You Save: $80.01 (17%)Buy NowApple iPad (9th Generation): with A13 Bionic chip, 10.2-inch Retina Display, 64GB, Wi-Fi, 12MPPrice: $249.00Buy NowApple iPad 11-inch: A16 chip, 11-inch Model, Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, Wi-Fi 6, 12MP Front/Price: $299.00You Save: $50.00 (14%)Buy NowApple iPad 11-inch: A16 chip, 11-inch Model, Liquid Retina Display, 128GB, Wi-Fi 6 + 5G CellulaPrice: $449.00You Save: $50.00 (10%)Buy NowApple's newer 11th-Gen iPad was a decent upgrade, but it's not really anything to write home about. It's also much more expensive than the previous-generation iPad model, which was just dumped from Apple's current tablet lineup.The newer model has a slightly bigger display, a relocated Touch ID home button, and a newer chipset. But it starts at $349 even after Apple's price cut, while the 10.2-inch iPad started at $329. And now, since the iPad 9th-Gen has been discontinued, you can get it even cheaper until retailers sell out of their current stock.Thanks to a big discount, this best-selling iPad model starts at just $249. Or, if you want to bump up your storage to 256GB instead of 64GB, you'll still save a bundle and pay $398.99 instead of $479. Those are both great prices, but there's obviously one problem.

With theiPhone 16now available, rumors focus on the upcoming iPhone 17. This model is expected to be released in the second half of 2025. One of the highlights of this generation could be the iPhone Air, as it seemsApple will no longer bet on a Plus model. Apple executives are calling the upcoming new models theirmost ambitious iPhones ever. Heres what we know about this future phone so far.Release dateIf Apple follows the trend, the new iPhone 17 lineup, including the new iPhone 17 Air, should be released in September this year. If we dive a bit deeper, Apple will likely announce the iPhone 17 lineup during the second week of September, with preorder availability to begin that week and a release likely set for the following week.That means the iPhone 17 Air release date will likely be Friday, September 19th, 2025, following a preorder launch on September 12th.According toThe Information, Apple has started the manufacturing process tomake the regular iPhone 17 models in India. This is the first time Cupertino began the production of a new iPhone line outside China.In this early manufacturing phase, Apple needs to tweak the iPhone design and experiment with new materials and equipment to ensure that millions of iPhones can be produced a day across different locations with minimal defects. This phase will last until early next year.Apple is already making iPhone 17 Air modelsin China as it enters the new product introduction phase (NPI). The NPI phase is responsible for bringing this iPhones concept to life with design validation and prototype testing.As of May 2025, Apple has finished theEngineering Validation Testing for at least one iPhone 17 model, as theyre scheduled to be released without a delay.6 rumored iPhone 17 features Apple may have delayed or canceledSlim or Air? What's the name of the iPhone Plus replacementImage source: Jos Adorno for BGRRumors so far point to two different possible names for the iPhone Plus replacement: Slim or Air. At first, Slim was the nomenclature used by leakers. However, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman believes Apple will likely call it "Air" due to other successful products using this name.Apple sees the Air strategy as a tried-and-true winner, given its unprecedented success with the MacBook Air over the past 15 years not to mention the iPad Air. Consumers will probably still ultimately gravitate more toward the iPhone Pro and Pro Max models, but the Air should at least outsell the iPhone 16 Plus.That said, we'll only know the name for sure once Apple reveals it in September. iPhone Air could be the internal nomenclature the company's employees are using, but not necessarily the name of the final product.iPhone 17 Air could hint at future foldable iPhoneSince Apple introduced the iPhone 12 mini, it has struggled to find a market for the unique variations of its regular iPhone models. The company has seen low sales of the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone 15 Plus. While we need to know how the iPhone 16 Plus will sell, Cupertino might beplanning a different approach for the iPhone 17.So far, analysts don't expect the iPhone 17 Air to be a success, even though it's expected to drive more sales than the iPhone 16 Plus. In addition, Gurman believes there's a better reason why Apple wants to manufacture this smartphone:The iPhone Air also serves as a testing ground for future technologies, including ones that could allow forfoldable devices. To fold, iPhones and iPads will need to have bodies and displays that are as thin as possible and the Air is a step toward that.Display and designImage source: Jos Adorno for BGRThe iPhone 17 Air is expected to have several design changes, the most important of which is a thinner body. Rumors point to a device between 5.5 mm and 6.5 mm thick. South KoreasSisa Journalsaidthis device would be 6.25mm thick, which would make it the thinnest iPhone ever. A Chinese leaker believes this iPhone will be 5.5mm thick with a maximum thickness of 9.5mm on the camera module.If these rumors are true, this device would be around 20% thinner than the base iPhone 16 models and 25% thinner than the iPhone 16 Pro. Top insider Ming-Chi Kuoalso believes Apple could make this device at around 5.5mm. A studio made a concept video of what this iPhone could actually look like. Eventually, this design was also highlighted as the most likely official look for this device. You can even see a 3D-printed version of it.Image source: Sonny Dickson/XTo achieve this ultra-thin design, Apple will have to accept several trade-offs, including an eSIM-only option. Besides that, analyst Jeff Pu expects this device to feature a 6.6-inch OLED display. It's unclear if it's going to feature ProMotion and Always-On Display as the iPhone 17. However, a Weibo leaker says all four iPhone 17 models will get these technologies.This device is expected to feature the Action Button, Camera Control, and a single rear camera, although some rumors suggest it might get two. Another possible change is that the titanium frame will be available for this iPhone only.In addition, there's something weird about this device that may frustrate designers.Finally, it seems Apple canceled a display feature that iPhone users would have loved,an anti-reflective coating.SpecsIf Apple follows its familiar trend, the A19 family of chips will power the iPhone 17 lineup.The Informationsays Apple is developing two new chips, the A19 and A19 Pro, with the latter using a new TSMC technology for improved efficiency. It seems these chips will continue to use a 3nm manufacturing process.Its unclear how much faster they will be, although Neural Engine cores will likely be a priority as Apple plans to improveApple Intelligence features. While it was first rumored that only the iPhone 17 Pro Max would get 12GB of RAM, Apple will offer it for the other Pro models and the iPhone 17 Air. There's a possibility that even the regular iPhone 17 will get it.BGRs Chris Smith believes the RAM bumpmeans Apple will unveil better AI features soon.ConnectivityImage source: Apple Inc.AnalystsMing-Chi KuoandJeff Pubelieve Apple will use a proprietary Wi-Fi modem for the upcoming iPhone 17 Air, which we now know is called C1. The company wants to rely less on Qualcomm and Broadcom and eventually create a chip that will feature cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies in a single silicon.Apple's current C1 chip supports Wi-Fi 6 and regular 5G speeds. Reliableanalyst Ming-Chi Kuosays the company plans to replace Qualcomms Wi-Fi chips on the entire iPhone 17 series later this year.The analyst writes: My latest industry survey indicates that all new 2H25 iPhone 17 models will feature Apples in-house Wi-Fi chips (vs. only the slim iPhone 17 will adopt Apples C1 modem chip). Beyond cost reduction, the switch to in-house Wi-Fi chips will enhance connectivity across Apple devices.BatteryArumor suggests that the entire iPhone 17 lineup will feature thesame battery glue techthat Apple used for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.As shown byiFixit, all you need to do to remove the battery from the chassis is apply a low-voltage current. The battery will come off like magic. The procedure further improves the repairability of the iPhone 16, making battery replacements even easier. The process only works in one direction, allowing you to detach the battery from the frame. Each new battery will feature its own glue strip, and no current will be needed during installation.While we believe battery life will be a concern for the iPhone 17 Air, a new display component might help Appleimprove the battery life of the iPhone 17 Pro models while increasing durability. In addition, if Cupertino uses its C1 chip on the iPhone 17 Air, it might greatly improve its battery, even if it's physically smaller. Here's what we think will be the secret sauce for solid battery life.A new Apple Intelligence feature might be responsible for improving the iPhone 17 Air's possibly poor battery life, as the company also works on a Smart Battery Case accessory.iOS 19 and Apple Intelligence features will be key for iPhone 17Apple Intelligence on iPhone 15 Pro. Image source: Jos Adorno for BGR Image source: Jos Adorno for BGRSo far, we know that Apple has started developingiOS 19, which has a codename of Luck. Its unclear what features will be included in iOS 19. Still, it's possible that Apple might revamp its look to give a more consistent design between iOS, iPadOS, and macOS. In addition, Apple Intelligence will continue to play a big part in iOS for the foreseeable future.By the end of 2025 or early 2026, well get the all-new Siri with the ability to understand context. These are some of the features expected to be available on the iPhone 17 models regarding Apple Intelligence and that are available in iOS 18:Writing Tools:Users can rewrite, proofread, and summarize text nearly everywhere they write, including Mail, Notes, Pages, and third-party apps;Image Playground:Users can create playful images in seconds, choosing from Animation, Illustration, or Sketch. This app is built right into apps like Messages and is also available in a dedicated app;Memories in Photos:Users can create stories they want to see just by typing a description. Apple Intelligence will pick out the best photos and videos based on the description, craft a storyline with chapters based on themes identified from the photos, and arrange them into a movie with its own narrative arc;Clean Up tool:This Photos app feature can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo without accidentally altering the subject;Siri:Users type to Siri and switch between text and voice to communicate with Siri in whatever way feels right for the moment.ChatGPT integration:When you feel Apple Intelligence isnt enough, you can allow ChatGPT to access Writing Tools and other features for a better response.More recently,Bloombergs Mark Gurman said iOS 19will make Siri AI more like ChatGPT. However, this might take longer to occur. He said that Siri will have new abilities to access user data for contextual information about the user and control third-party apps via the new App Intents software. However, Gurman points out that Siri isnt getting a ChatGPT-like model for these tasks:These upcoming upgrades will make Siri easier to use on a day-to-day basis, but its not the brain transplant that the service really needs. Siri is still based on an outdated infrastructure AI models that have been overtaken by the technology used by ChatGPT and Googles Gemini. Siri hasnt yet been rebuilt for the generative AI age, even if Apple is trying to create the impression that it has.Price and storageRumors say Apple might be planning to add a 2TB tier for the iPhone Pro models, starting with the iPhone 17. That said, these could be the possible storage options:iPhone 17:128GB, 256GB, and 512GBiPhone 17 Air:256GB and 512GBiPhone 17 Pro and 17 Pro Max:256GB, 512GB, 1TB, and 2TBA rumor says Apple couldcharge more for the iPhone 17 models. So far, we have heard that the company wants to charge way more for the future Air model, which could cost $1,299. However, new rumors state that it wont be more expensive than the Pro models. That said, this iPhone's price would range between $899 and $1,299. Still, the iPhone 17 could be 9% more expensive due to Trump's tariffs.A recentWall Street Journalreport reveals thatthe entire iPhone 17 lineup might get a price hike. Cupertino wants to use these new features as the main reason for the new devices higher cost.Wrap upThis is everything we know about the iPhone 17 Air so far.

The company has seen low sales of the iPhone 12 mini, iPhone 13 mini, iPhone 14 Plus, and iPhone 15 Plus. While we need to know how the iPhone 16 Plus will sell, Cupertino might be planning a different approach for the iPhone 17.At first, rumors believed Apple would charge around $1,299 for this devicethe most expensive iPhone to date. However, it seems Apple will offer this device at a similar price to the iPhone Plus. Despite its ultra-thin form factor, it would have the A19 chip, 12 GB of RAM, a single main camera, and ProMotion technology. How Apple will maintain a good battery life with an ultra-thin form factor is still unknown. However, the company might learn from Huawei's latest triple-fold phone.BGR has a full guide on the iPhone 17 Air.Here's why we need the iPhone 17 Air, according to an iPhone 16 Plus ownerHeres what youll give up if you get Apples iPhone 17 AiriPhone 17 Air price and exact thickness may have just leakedHere's a new look at Apple's unbelievably thin Air phoneiPhone 17e: A new addition to the lineup in 2026Image source: Christian de Looper for BGRSince Apple introduced the iPhone 16e, users have wondered if this could be a one-time thing with a longer upgrade cycle or an annual release. According to researchers at CIRP, the "iPhone e" is here to stay, as Apple is expected to launch an iPhone 17e in 2026.The research indicates that while the iPhone 16e might not be a critical player in the lineup, based on the iPhone SEs history, it might do better at the expense of other iPhone models. It appears that e phones may be part of the program going forward. Following the core iPhone 17 model launches in September, we expect Apple to announce an iPhone 17e around this time next year. That would mimic Googles introduction of a model in its Pixel line months after the annual Spring launch of their flagship and Pro models in recent years.Weibo leaker Fixed Focus Digital, Apple is almost ready to start trial production for this phone, as it aims for an early 2026 release. However, not every leaker believes Apple will update the "iPhone e" yearly.We'll update this section as we learn more about its upcoming rumors and features.Display size and designThe iPhone 15 Plus's Dynamic Island. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGRFor the 2025 iPhone lineup, display analyst Ross Young believes Apple will offer a pill-shaped cutout on every model (regular and Pros). While he previously reported that under-panel Face ID technology would be available on Pro models, he now says it has been delayed to the iPhone 18. A rumor says Apple wants to ditch the titanium frame for aluminum for all iPhone models. With that, a leaker expects the back of the iPhone to transition from aluminum to glass without the user realizing it. Here's what this change could mean for future Pro models. In addition, Apple might change the camera module design for the first time since the iPhone 11 Pro model was announced. All iPhone 17 models will have this new look besides the regular version.The regular iPhone 17 models are rumored to finally feature Always-On Display and ProMotion technology, as Young expects the company to add a low-temperature polycrystalline oxide display to all 2025 models. ETNews says Samsung and LG could be the main beneficiaries of Apple's OLED panel orders with these technologies in 2025.Besides that, every iPhone 17 is expected to have the same display size as its predecessor: 6.3 inches for the smaller versions and 6.9 inches for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. While a Plus iteration isn't expected to be released, there are rumors about an iPhone Slim.According to a DigiTime report, this iPhone could use a new OLED display technology. The Touch and Display Driver Integration tech is expected to debut as early as the second quarter of 2025, and Apple is expected to be Novateks first customer. This technology could make the iPhone display even thinner.Analyst Jeff Pu says Apple could add a narrow Dynamic Island to the iPhone 17 Pro versions. Ming-Chi Kuo disagrees, but Weibo leaker Digital Chat Station says at least the iPhone 17 Pro Max could have a smaller Dynamic Island.Finally, it seems Apple canceled a display feature that iPhone users would have loved, an anti-reflective coating.iPhone 17 colorsRumors suggest Apple will ditch the titanium finish for aluminum and glass. With that, the company will probably make the colors different for this lineup.Here's what we expect:iPhone 17 colors:BlackWhiteThree new different optionsiPhone 17 Pro colors:BlackWhiteGoldThere's a rumor that says the Sky Blue color will be the main iPhone 17 Pro option.CamerasiPhone 15 Pro Max camera system. Image source: Christian de Looper for BGRWith the iPhone 17 Pro lineup, Apple will finally add a 48MP lens to all primary cameras. While the iPhone 16 Pro was rumored to add a 48MP ultra-wide lens, the 17 Pro will add the same resolution for the telephoto lens, in addition to an upgraded tetra prism zoom camera exclusive to the Pro Max.Kuo details Apples tetraprism zoom upgrade plans for the coming years, with 2025 set to bring a big change. Apple wants to upgrade from the current 12-megapixel zoom sensor to a 48-megapixel tetraprism lens this year. But the analyst says its still unclear whether Apple will use the new zoom camera on every Pro model:(1) The high-end iPhone 17 model is expected to feature an upgraded tetraprism camera, with key specification changes from a 1/3.1 12MP CIS in the iPhone 16 Pro series to a 1/2.6 48MP CIS. This upgrade will enhance photo quality and zoom functionality.(2) It is currently uncertain whether only the iPhone 17 Pro Max will feature the upgraded tetraprism camera. If so, the 2H26 iPhone 18 Pro will also feature the upgraded tetraprism camera.Besides that, The Information reports that Apple is planning a mechanical aperture for the iPhone Pro. With it, users could manually add a shallow depth-of-field effect to their photos. Currently, Apple artificially generates a bokeh effect with Portrait Mode.Regarding the front-facing camera, Jeff Pu believes Apple could add a 24MP sensor to improve selfies. In addition, Apple will continue to offer the Camera Control feature, even though I wish the company would remove it.AfterThe Informationsaid Apple was working ona camera module with an elongated oval shape and sincewe saw leaked iPhone 17 Pro componentsthat seemingly confirmed that report it seems the company might stick with the current triangular design weve seen on the past few generations of Pro iPhones.At least, this is what Chinese leakerInstant Digital posted on Weibo. This leaker has a mixed track record, but they have been right about the yellow iPhone 14, the frosted back glass of theiPhone 15, spatial video capture, and many other features that indeed arrived on Apple devices. This new design might come for the iPhone 17 Air.A19 processor will power the iPhone 17If Apple follows its familiar trend, the A19 family of chips will power the iPhone 17 lineup. The Information says Apple is developing two new chips, the A19 and A19 Pro, with the latter using a new TSMC technology for improved efficiency. It seems these chips will continue to use a 3nm manufacturing process.It's unclear how much faster they will be, although Neural Engine cores will likely be a priority as Apple plans to improve Apple Intelligence features. However, at first, it was rumored that these devices would get 12GB of RAM for the Pro models and 8GB for the regular ones. Now, it seems at least three iPhone models will get 12GB of RAM. A leaker suggests all iPhone models will get this upgrade.BGR's Chris Smith believes the RAM bump means Apple will unveil better AI features soon.Wi-Fi 7 support and connectivityImage source: Jos Adorno for BGRThe iPhone 16 features Wi-Fi 7 support, and Apple's upcoming iPhone 17 will likely use this technology. For the iPhone 15, Apple offered Wi-Fi 6E support, which improves wireless performance, lowers latency, and reduces power consumption. Wi-Fi 7, meanwhile, boasts faster speeds, even lower latency, and better connectivity experiences in areas with high device density.Analysts Ming-Chi Kuo and Jeff Pu believe Apple will use a proprietary Wi-Fi modem, as the company wants to rely less on Broadcom and, eventually, create a chip that will feature cellular, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technologies in a single silicon.The Information says the iPhone 17 will use Mediatek 5G modems instead of Apple's C1 chip or Qualcomm's option.BatteryWe don't know if Apple will increase, maintain, or decrease the battery capacity of these upcoming iPhones. Still, a rumor believes that the entire iPhone 17 lineup will feature the same battery glue tech that Apple used for the iPhone 16 and iPhone 16 Plus.As shown by iFixit, all you need to do to remove the battery from the chassis is apply a low-voltage current. The battery will come off like magic. The procedure further improves the repairability of the iPhone 16, making battery replacements even easier.

Apple Intelligence will pick out the best photos and videos based on the description, craft a storyline with chapters based on themes identified from the photos, and arrange them into a movie with its own narrative arc;Clean Up tool:This Photos app feature can identify and remove distracting objects in the background of a photo without accidentally altering the subject;Siri:Users type to Siri and switch between text and voice to communicate with Siri in whatever way feels right for the moment.ChatGPT integration:When you feel Apple Intelligence isnt enough, you can allow ChatGPT to access Writing Tools and other features for a better response.More recently, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman said iOS 19 will make Siri AI more like ChatGPT.

However, Gurman points out that Siri isnt getting a ChatGPT-like model for these tasks:These upcoming upgrades will make Siri easier to use on a day-to-day basis, but its not the brain transplant that the service really needs.
