We may have a Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge launch date, and it’s soon

The pending launch of the Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge has been the subject of plenty of speculation, but it now seems that we’ve got a date for the announcement of this phone: April 15, 2025.

It comes just 2 months after the launch of the rest of the Samsung Galaxy S25 family, while being teased at Galaxy Unpacked, so we all knew this new slim phone was coming. The confirmation doesn’t come from Samsung itself – so there’s still potential that this could be wrong – but there’s now alignment across a couple of sources.

We’d previously seen it reported by Seoul Economic Daily that the phone would be announced on April 16. Now we have a Dutch phone seller telling us that the announcement will happen on April 16. Given how time zones work, it’s perfectly plausible that both can be correct.

This new source goes on to detail the model numbers for the new devices, saying that it will come in silver, blue and black and that you’ll be able to get 256 or 512GB versions of each model. Beyond that we learn that silicone and Kindsuit cases will be launched for the new devices too.

The exact price of the Galaxy S25 Edge remains a mystery, but we’ve previously reported that it will be priced somewhere between the Galaxy S25 Plus and the S25 Ultra. That’s going to make this slim phone pretty expensive for what you get, but it’s also likely to be popular phone thanks to shift in design.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is said to be 5.75mm thick, with a titanium alloy frame, so those colours will be Titanium Icyblue, Titanium Silver and Titanium Jetblack.

The display is said to be around 6.7-inches, while we’re expecting Snapdragon 8 Elite power driving this phone. The battery might shrink to 3,900mAh, so the cost of going slim – apart from the cost on your pocket – might be the battery life.

The Samsung Galaxy S25 Edge is expected to be produced in limited quantities and, despite the cost, I’m expecting it to be one of the hottest phones of the year.

iOS 27’s Liquid Glass slider looks simple, but it’s more useful than I expected
Text, Document, Business Card

Let's be honest: few iOS design changes have sparked as much debate as Liquid Glass. When Apple first introduced it with iOS 26, the internet immediately split into two camps. Some people loved the fresh, translucent look, while others couldn't stand it and felt it made parts of the interface harder to read. I happened to be firmly in the first camp. At the time, I was using an iPhone 14 Pro Max, and installing the update was one of the first things I did. I loved how the new design made iOS feel more modern and dynamic. The transparency effects gave the interface a sense of depth, making the entire experience feel fresh again.

That said, it's easy to understand why not everyone felt the same way. After months of feedback, screenshots, hot takes, and endless debates online, Apple eventually responded by giving users more control. Instead of forcing everyone into the same look, it introduced options that let people choose between a clearer glass effect and a more tinted appearance. With iOS 27, Apple is putting the Liquid Glass debate completely in your hands. A new slider lets you customize the effect exactly the way you want it, whether you prefer a crystal-clear look or something easier on the eyes. Here's what it does and how to make the most of it on your iPhone.

Apple users are being targeted by a familiar tech support scam
Apple users face a new wave of fake iPhone and iCloud security warnings

AI has made online scams harder to spot by making deepfakes, voice cloning, and fake messages more realistic. Even so, the old tech support scam is still catching victims. For years, fraudsters often posed as Microsoft support workers. Now, reports suggest many are shifting their attention to Apple users.

Consumers are reporting a rise in fake “Apple High Alert” messages that claim an iPhone, iCloud account, or Apple ID has been compromised. These messages are designed to make people panic and react quickly before they can stop to check whether the warning is real.

A better dictation system is already on your iPhone. Apple just didn't switch it on.
Electronics, Phone, Mobile Phone

If you have an iPhone 17 Pro, iPhone 17 Pro Max, or iPhone Air running iOS 27 beta, you have a meaningfully better dictation system on your device right now. 

However, Apple did not turn it on by default, and most users have no idea it is there.
