Gadgets Review | iPhone Air: Apple's Slim Dream Simply Runs Out Of... Air

iPhone Air Review: Let's address the petite elephant in the room: the world is not ready for slim phones. At least, not in the state they are in right now. Consider the most popular new slim phone from the world of Android: Samsung Galaxy S26 Edge. At just 5.8mm and armed with all the top-tier Samsung specs, it was supposed to usher in the era of slim phones. However, a disappointing battery (just 3,900 mAh) and an upper-end price tag of Rs 1,09,999 made sure it was a disaster - so much so that Samsung has decided to do away with the Edge on its S26 lineup entirely. That brings us to iPhone Air. Apple can do no wrong, or at least that's what dedicated fans would argue. At just 5.6mm (not considering the camera bump), it is indeed super slim and super lightweight (at 165g). However, this time, what the Cupertino giant did was bring a great-looking hardware, which was shot down by the same arrows that took out Samsung's Edge: a miserable battery (disappointingly 3,149 mAh) and a price tag that's just not worth it (starting at Rs 1,19,000 for the base 256GB model). Of course, Apple would stomp its feet and claim that it still delivers "what the public wants," which it believes is a Titanium body and a Pro-branded chip. Well, I don't know what went wrong with Cupertino designers here, but that Titanium bezel is an absolute smudge magnet. So, what it means is that you'd have to buy cases to keep the phone clean. If you purchase the official Apple MagSafe clear case, you will need to dish out an additional Rs 4,900.  Furthermore, that A19 Pro chip? What's the use of a powerful processor if I need to charge my phone at least two times per day? And that's considering a regular, non-heavy usage. So, what this also means is that you will have to dish out an additional Rs 11,900 for the new and slim iPhone Air MagSafe battery (which carries a similar-capacity battery as the phone itself). Funnily enough, this MagSafe battery is "specially designed" to suit the shape and aesthetics of the iPhone Air, making it simply incompatible with other iPhone models (any series), unless you attach it at a weird horizontal angle, which makes it impossible to hold in your hands.  Don't get me wrong. The iPhone Air is indeed a great piece of hardware. That Super Retina XDR display with ProMotion refresh rate looks great. The camera is fine if you don't want to do much photography, but with so many Cons, its list of Pros is lighter than Air.  iPhone Air Review: Quick Pointers Side-by-side comparison of iPhone Air and the base iPhone 17 model. What Works: Gorgeous design Great display Stellar performance, when the phone has power, that is Strong main camera What Doesn't:  Terrible zoom photography No ultrawide? In this day and age? Poor speakers Abysmal battery life Unnecessarily high price tag iPhone Air Display: Gorgeous, Immersive, Practically Flawless Let’s get one thing out of the way: the iPhone Air’s 6.5-inch OLED display is, quite simply, spectacular. It’s edge-to-edge perfection with almost invisible bezels, and those deep blacks and punchy colours make even mundane YouTube thumbnails look cinematic. Apple’s 120Hz adaptive refresh rate feels buttery smooth, shifting intelligently between 1Hz and 120Hz to conserve power when it can. The screen is also blindingly bright; 3,000 nits peak brightness means sunlight glare is barely a concern. Whether you’re watching Monster: The Ed Gein Story or doom-scrolling through social media, it’s one of the most immersive displays Apple’s ever shipped. The only real casualty here is sound; the single top-firing earpiece speaker feels out of place on a phone this premium, producing audio that’s disappointingly thin. iPhone Air Camera: Great Sensor, Disappointing Choices Here’s where Apple’s obsession with thinness truly hurts. The iPhone Air packs just one rear camera, a 48MP main sensor that takes excellent photos but lacks the flexibility we’ve come to expect in 2025. Daylight shots are sharp, detailed, and balanced in colour. Portraits are beautifully handled, with natural bokeh and clean edge detection. Low-light performance, too, holds its own thanks to the reliable Night mode. But there’s no ultrawide, and Apple’s so-called 2x “optical” zoom is just a crop, a digital trick that strips away detail. For a phone starting at Rs 1,19,000, that’s inexcusable. As a result, while casual photographers will be happy, enthusiasts will quickly outgrow its limitations. The front 18MP selfie camera, however, redeems things; it’s crisp, bright, and equipped with Apple’s clever Centre Stage feature that keeps you perfectly framed. iPhone Air Performance: Lightning Fast, Feather Light Under the hood, the iPhone Air houses the same A19 Pro chip found in the iPhone 17 Pro series, and it’s every bit the powerhouse you’d expect. Multitasking, gaming, and video editing, the Air handles it all without stutter or slowdown. Even extended gaming sessions barely warm up the device, which is impressive for something this thin. The catch? The slimness means there’s no room for a physical SIM tray. You’re forced to use eSIM, which might frustrate anyone who regularly swaps numbers or travels internationally. I believe eSIM's pretty much the future of phone connectivity, but the way things stand now in India, where you are REQUIRED to visit a physical store to get your eSIM activated, which takes a couple of hours at best, I cannot honestly recommend the tech to anyone as of yet.  Also, while Apple ditched its much-hyped Titanium for all other iPhone 17 series models, I am not sure why it decided to stick to Titanium for the Air. Sure, it might make the phone lighter, but the amount of smudges it collects on the body is downright UGLY... something that doesn't suit the design excellence that Apple products deliver without fail.  iPhone Air Battery: Apple’s Achilles’ Heel Returns And now, the inevitable downfall. The iPhone Air’s rumoured 3,149mAh battery is the cruel punchline to Apple’s engineering flex. With moderate use, emails, calls, and some browsing, it barely lasts a day. Stream a few videos, use GPS, or play a couple of games, and you’ll be hunting for a charger before evening. Charging doesn’t help much either. The 20W wired and MagSafe speeds are archaic by 2025 standards. Apple proudly claims 50% in 30 minutes, but that’s the bare minimum for a phone that costs as much as a small motorcycle. For a device this advanced, battery life remains unacceptably short, it’s the single factor that turns a potential game-changer into a glorified desk ornament. iPhone Air Review: Final Verdict The iPhone Air is the kind of product that makes you gasp when you first pick it up: it’s impossibly sleek, featherlight, and unmistakably Apple. For a brief, shining moment, you feel like you’re holding the future of smartphones. But the longer you use it, the faster that illusion fades. The Air’s biggest achievement, its radical thinness, also becomes its undoing. That underwhelming battery, the missing ultrawide lens, and the frustrating eSIM-only setup strip away much of the magic Apple so confidently sells. It’s a triumph of engineering, yes, but one that prioritises form over function. If Apple wanted the iPhone Air to be the spiritual successor to the iPhone X, hands down the greatest phone ever made to date, it missed the mark by an inch of lithium. This is a phone for those who care about design more than endurance, about showing off more than lasting through a day. It’s a gorgeous, fragile dream that looks perfect on a showroom pedestal but struggles to keep up in the real world. Should You Buy the iPhone Air? Yes: If you are an Apple jingoist and want the 'thinnest' iPhone ever made and can live near a charger. No: If you value battery life, camera flexibility, or practicality even remotely. Maybe: If you’re a collector who wants to own Apple’s most daring (and divisive) experiment in years.

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: Could The Launch Be Pushed To March? All You Need To Know

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: Could The Launch Be Pushed To March? All You Need To Know

Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks: So Diwali is here, and with it comes a burst of leaks that are quickly grabbing attention. With millions of rumours floating around, here’s another one: the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series might be delayed. While Samsung hasn’t confirmed anything (and we all know they rarely speak about launches ahead of time), the S26 series, which was expected by the end of January, could be postponed by about two months.  Let’s see what this leak has for us. Samsung Galaxy S26 Series Might Be Late An X user named Holly – I like tech, shared a post claiming that the Samsung Galaxy S26 Series could be delayed by two months. The post read, “From January to March, which means One UI 8.5 will probably be delayed too, right?” there’s rumours circulating that the S26 Series launch will be delayed by two months from january to march, which means One UI 8.5 will probably be delayed too, right? ughhhhhhhh — Holly - I like tech (@AnxiousHolly) October 19, 2025 People in the comments are already speculating on the reasons for the delay. One wrote, “Hopefully this means changes to the S26 series hardware,” while another said, “They’re gonna tear apart all those S26 Edges and build all those 26+ models they thought they were cancelling.” More On Samsung Galaxy S26 Leaks Earlier leaks hinted that Samsung might skip the standard Galaxy S26 model completely, starting the lineup directly with the S26 Pro, which could signal a shift in naming and product strategy.  Other leaks suggest that the Galaxy S26 Ultra may keep the same camera setup used in recent flagships like the S25, S24, S23, and even the S22, meaning the camera hardware might remain largely unchanged for the fourth year in a row.  There’s also talk that Samsung could drop the Edge variant and replace it with a Plus model. For now, it’s best not to jump to conclusions. Until Samsung officially announces the Galaxy S26 series, all these leaks should be seen as early hints rather than confirmed facts.  Things could still change, and we’ll have to wait a little longer to know exactly what the new series will look like. If you want to know more about Samsung Galaxy S26 leaks, we’ve got you covered with regular updates, so stay tuned.

Diwali 2025: 6 Ways To Keep Your Dog Calm During Fireworks And Festivities

Diwali 2025: 6 Ways To Keep Your Dog Calm During Fireworks And Festivities

Diwali 2025 brings joy, celebration, and dazzling fireworks, but for our furry friends, the sounds and flashes can trigger intense anxiety. Dogs have far sharper hearing than humans, which means the loud bursts of crackers can feel overwhelming, even painful. Every year, countless pets struggle with stress, trembling, hiding, or even running away during the festivities. As responsible pet parents, it’s our duty to make sure they feel safe, secure, and loved. Here are 6 ways to keep your dog calm, relaxed, and happy throughout Diwali. ALSO READ: Diwali 2025: 8 Stunning Floral Decor Ideas To Infuse Your Home With Festive Fragrance 1. Create A Safe And Quiet Space Indoors (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI)   During Diwali, your dog’s best refuge is a calm, familiar space inside your home. Choose a room away from windows and doors, ideally one your dog already feels comfortable in. Dim the lights, draw the curtains, and add familiar scents, like their favourite blanket or toy, to make them feel secure. You can also play soft, soothing music or white noise to mask the sound of fireworks outside. It’s essential to keep them indoors before the fireworks begin and stay close to them if possible. Creating a safe, peaceful zone gives your pet a sense of security and prevents them from bolting out of fear during sudden loud sounds. 2. Stay Calm And Offer Reassurance (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Your dog looks to you for cues, especially during stressful times. When fireworks start, it’s crucial to remain calm and composed. Avoid overreacting or comforting your dog excessively, as that can reinforce their fear. Instead, speak in a normal, soothing tone and act naturally. Keep the environment positive by engaging them in light play or giving them gentle pats if they approach you. You might notice them panting, pacing, or hiding, don’t punish or drag them out. Simply let them find their comfort zone. 3. Use Soothing Sounds And Distractions (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) One of the most effective ways to help dogs cope with fireworks is sound therapy. Play calming music, nature sounds, or even soft television noise to distract them from outside booms. Studies show that classical music can lower a dog’s heart rate and reduce anxiety levels. Try pet-specific playlists that are designed to calm dogs during stressful situations. Combine this with interactive distractions such as chew toys, puzzle feeders, or treats that keep them mentally occupied. 4. Try Natural Calming Remedies (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Before turning to medication, many pet parents successfully use natural remedies to ease anxiety. Options like chamomile, lavender oil, and pheromone diffusers can create a sense of calm. Herbal supplements and anxiety wraps also help comfort sensitive dogs by applying gentle, constant pressure. Some dog owners use vet-approved CBD treats to promote relaxation without sedation. Combined with a peaceful environment, these natural aids can help your pet stay balanced and comfortable throughout Diwali 2025 celebrations. 5. Keep Them Engaged With Food And Toys (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Keeping your dog busy is a simple but powerful way to distract them from the fireworks. Give them a favourite chew toy, frozen peanut butter treat, or puzzle feeder filled with healthy snacks. Engaging their mind and senses keeps anxiety from escalating. Some dogs benefit from short indoor play sessions or gentle training exercises that keep their focus on you. Make sure their toys are safe and comforting, not overly stimulating. 6. Ensure Proper Identification And Safety Precautions (Image Source: ABPLIVE AI) Fireworks can scare even the calmest pets into bolting. Every year, shelters report a rise in missing dogs during Diwali. Make sure your pet has a secure collar with an updated ID tag containing your contact details. Keep doors, windows, and gates securely closed. Avoid letting them out unsupervised, even for short bathroom breaks, when fireworks are going off. Being proactive with safety ensures your furry friend stays safe and close, no matter how loud the Diwali 2025 celebrations get outside.

Yemen: 23 Indians Rescued After Fire Erupts On LPG Tanker Off Gulf Of Aden

Yemen: 23 Indians Rescued After Fire Erupts On LPG Tanker Off Gulf Of Aden

Gulf of Aden [Yemen], October 20 (ANI): A total of 23 Indian crew members have been rescued after a fire broke out onboard the Cameroon-flagged LPG tanker MV Falcon, following an explosion, off the coast of Aden, Yemen. The incident took place on Saturday, October 18, at 07:00 UTC (local time), when the ship was sailing about 113 nautical miles southeast of Aden on its way to Djibouti. The vessel went adrift after the blast, and about 15 per cent of the ship was on fire. Early reports suggest the explosion was accidental, but the exact cause is still being investigated. According to British security firm Ambrey, the MV Falcon was travelling from Oman's Sohar Port to Djibouti when the explosion occurred. Radio communication suggested that the crew was preparing to abandon the vessel as a search-and-rescue operation was launched. Following the incident, the EU Naval Force Operation Aspides launched an immediate search and rescue (SAR) operation.According to updates, 24 crew members had initially abandoned the vessel, and 23 of them, all Indians, have been safely rescued. Two crew members remain missing, while one was still onboard MV Falcon at the time of the last report. Due to the risk of additional explosions, since the tanker was fully loaded with liquefied petroleum gas, Aspides advised nearby vessels to maintain a safe distance from the carrier. "The fire onboard is increasing," Aspides said in a statement. "MV Falcon represents a navigational hazard. Everyone in the area must exercise caution." A private company has now taken charge of the salvage operation for the damaged tanker, the European Union's naval force Aspides said in a statement. The incident occurred as Yemen's Houthi rebels continue targeting commercial vessels passing through the Red Sea corridor, which they claim is in solidarity with Palestinians amid Israel's ongoing war in Gaza, according to Al Jazeera. EU Naval Force's Aspides is a defensive maritime operation tasked with protecting civilian ships and crews sailing through the Red Sea and the Gulf of Aden.

United Airlines Flight Drops 10,000 Feet After Windshield Cracks Midair, Pilot Injured

A United Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 flying from Denver to Los Angeles was forced to make an emergency landing after its windshield cracked midair, injuring one of the pilots. Emergency Landing  The incident occurred on October 16 aboard flight UA1093, which was carrying 140 passengers and crew members. The aircraft was cruising at 36,000 feet when the crew noticed the damage to the cockpit windshield. Windshield SHATTERS on Boeing 737 MAX flying from Denver to LA'Space debris or small meteorite' as officials cause — pilot injured pic.twitter.com/bpqmWCz6AU — RT (@RT_com) October 19, 2025 According to reports, the pilots initiated a controlled descent to 26,000 feet before safely landing at Salt Lake City International Airport. All passengers were later transferred to another aircraft, a Boeing 737 MAX 9, and arrived in Los Angeles after a delay of about six hours. Unusual Cause Suspected Windshield cracks in aircraft are uncommon but not unheard of. However, the details of this case, including the pilot’s injuries and the nature of the damage, have drawn particular attention. Images circulating online appear to show burn marks on the shattered section of the windshield and bruising on one pilot’s arm, suggesting it may not have been a typical structural failure. At the time of the incident, the aircraft was roughly 322 kilometres southeast of Salt Lake City. After spotting the damage, the crew promptly followed emergency protocols, diverted to Salt Lake City, and landed without further incident. Possible Impact From External Object Aviation experts have speculated that the windshield may have been struck by high-speed space debris or a small meteorite, given the scorch marks and irregular damage pattern. Typically, aircraft windshields are built to withstand extreme pressure variations and bird strikes. However, an object travelling at very high velocity could exceed those design limits. Airline Statement United Airlines confirmed that no passengers were injured and that the pilot sustained minor bruising. The carrier has not yet commented on the precise cause of the crack or whether an external factor was involved. Separate Incident Involving United Aircraft In an unrelated event on October 18, another United Airlines plane clipped the tail of a parked United aircraft while heading to its gate at Chicago’s O’Hare International Airport. None of the 113 passengers onboard were injured, and all disembarked safely after a brief delay, the airline said in a statement.

Where’s Google’s Diwali Doodle? AI Overviews & Gemini Try To Explain The Miss

Where’s Google’s Diwali Doodle? AI Overviews & Gemini Try To Explain The Miss

Diwali 2025: Every year, Google’s homepage transforms into a digital canvas of creativity, celebrating everything from World Cup finals to quirky cultural icons like the humble idli. But on Diwali 2025, the festival of lights that illuminates millions of homes across the world, the absence of a Google Doodle left many users puzzled. Despite Diwali being one of the most widely celebrated festivals globally, there was no festive makeover on Google’s homepage this year. While some users speculated that the omission could be due to oversight or a technical glitch, Google’s own AI tools had more nuanced explanations. What Google’s AI Overviews Had To Say When asked why there was no Diwali Doodle on October 20, Google’s AI overview responded, “There is no Google Doodle today, October 20, 2025, for Diwali because Google does not always create a doodle for every festival, and often celebrates them on a different date. Google has, in the past, created interactive Diwali doodles, but there is no specific reason why one isn't present today, and sometimes technical issues can cause a doodle to not appear as expected.” It further explained that there’s no fixed calendar for when the company chooses to display festival-themed artwork. In some cases, Google celebrates a holiday on a different date or through a unique format rather than a homepage doodle. Users were also reminded that technical issues on their end, or even temporary server-side errors, might prevent the doodle from appearing as intended. Gemini’s Take: The Celebration Is Still There When posed the same question, Google’s AI chatbot Gemini offered a slightly defensive yet optimistic response. “As the current date is Monday, October 20, 2025, you should be seeing a special celebration on the Google Search page for Diwali!” it said. According to Gemini, Google has shifted towards interactive search experiences rather than relying solely on logo-based Doodles. It highlighted that searching for “Diwali” or “Happy Diwali” on Google would trigger festive animations, featuring diyas, Goddess Lakshmi, sweets, and firecrackers. These dynamic visuals aim to create a more immersive experience for users directly within the search results. So, while there may be no traditional Doodle glowing on Google’s homepage this Diwali, the company seems to be experimenting with more interactive celebrations embedded in its search platform. The transition from static or animated Doodles to integrated, clickable experiences reflects Google’s evolving approach to digital storytelling, one that merges search with celebration. For those feeling nostalgic, Google’s archive of previous Diwali Doodles remains accessible. Just search “Google Doodle for Diwali”, and you’ll find a gallery of past artwork that has brightened up the festival in years gone by.

Diwali 2025: Know Why Shankh Is Essential For An Auspicious Lakshmi Puja

Diwali 2025: Diwali 2025 is not just a festival of lights and decorations, it is a sacred occasion for worshipping Goddess Lakshmi to invite prosperity, wealth, and happiness into homes. While diyas, rangoli, and torans are central to the celebrations, the shankh holds a special place in Lakshmi Puja rituals. For centuries, devotees have followed the tradition of buying and using a Shankh during Diwali to enhance positive energy and spiritual blessings. This year, Diwali falls on Monday, 20 October 2025, making it the perfect opportunity to understand the religious importance of the Shankh in Lakshmi Puja. ALSO READ: Diwali 2025 Laxmi Puja Muhurat City-Wise: Check Lakshmi Puja Timings In Delhi, Varanasi, Patna, And Other Major Cities The Significance Of The Shankh In Lakshmi Puja In Hinduism, the Shankh is considered highly sacred. Symbolising the vastness of the ocean and auspiciousness, it is believed that keeping and using a conch during rituals removes Vastu defects and protects the home from negative energies. During Diwali, the conch helps purify the environment and create a spiritually charged atmosphere conducive to prosperity. Connection With Goddess Lakshmi Goddess Lakshmi, the Hindu deity of wealth and abundance, is strongly associated with positive energy and prosperity. According to ancient scriptures, using a natural, pure Shankh during Lakshmi Puja channels positive energy into the home, increases wealth, and attracts blessings. Traditional texts recommend white or light-coloured conches for their auspicious properties. Using The Shankh During Diwali 2025 On Diwali 2025, devotees are encouraged to blow the conch during Lakshmi Puja to invite financial prosperity, peace, and happiness. Small mantras or prayers can be recited while blowing the conch to amplify its spiritual effect. Ancient scriptures even describe the conch as the “brother of Goddess Lakshmi,” which explains why it holds special significance during the festival. Other Ritual Essentials For Diwali Besides the Shankh, decorative torans, diyas, rangoli, and sweet offerings hold vital importance in Diwali celebrations. Homes should be cleaned and arranged neatly before puja, with diyas lit in front of Goddess Lakshmi and Lord Ganesh, and bhog (sweets) offered to complete the ritual.
