Apple’s thinnest iPhone, the iPhone Air, has just faced one of the harshest durability trials—JerryRigEverything’s infamous bend test.
At only 5.6mm thick, many feared the ultra-slim design would revive memories of the iPhone 6 Plus “Bendgate” saga.

 The OnePlus 15 may look and feel quite different from its predecessor, the OnePlus 13. A new report from tipster Digital Chat Station, who claims to have gone hands-on with the upcoming flagship, points to some notable changes in both design and materials. According to the leaker’s post on Weibo, the OnePlus 15 will feature a flat display with rounded corners and is described as “much smaller” than the 6.9-inch iPhone 17 Pro Max. |  Xiaomi is issuing a recall for over 100,000 units of its standard SU7, which is one of the brand’s first electric vehicles. Owing to an issue with the smart driving feature, this model is being recalled. This is the best selling electric sedan from the brand, so the issue affects 116,887 EVs. The Chinese tech giant is recalling the Standard Edition of the SU7, which were apparently manufactured between 6th February 2024 and 30th August 2025. |
 Samsung’s plans for its next wave of futuristic devices appear to have shifted. The company had been expected to showcase its first tri-fold smartphone alongside the upcoming XR headset this month, but new reports suggest the foldable won’t be ready in time. Instead, the spotlight will fall solely on the headset, leaving foldable fans waiting a little longer. According to ETNews, Samsung is preparing to launch the Project Moohan XR headset on October 21. |  Huawei recently held its Global Innovative Product Launch event in Paris, introducing the HUAWEI WATCH GT 6 Series, WATCH Ultimate 2, and an updated version of the WATCH D2. The updated model, called the WATCH D2 Blue Edition, is priced at £349.99 in the UK, which is £30 more than the black and gold versions launched last year. The HUAWEI WATCH D2 Blue Edition is identical to the earlier launched WATCH D2 variants, focuses on medical-grade health and fitness monitoring. |
