Thin is in. Recently, Apple launched its thinnest iPads to date. According to new rumors, the company is not stopping with downsizing its tablet lineup. An iPhone 17 Slim is reportedly coming next year.

It’s been a while since the last major iPhone redesign. The current one is thriving with its customizable Dynamic Island. Though Apple has been happy with the design so far, a change might happen very soon.

According to The Information, a thinner iPhone is potentially coming in 2025. While the exact composition of such a device is still unknown, the rumors point to a redesigned battery case for the reduced girth. If the experiment proves successful, Apple will also introduce the same design to other devices in the lineup.

Besides the thinner frame, the upcoming iPhone 17 will also have a slightly larger screen compared to the regular model in the series. It will reportedly have a 6.55-inch display, putting it in between the starting model and a potential 6.9-inch screen for the iPhone 17 Pro Max. It might also have substantial redesigns in the camera department.

Now, the iPhone 17 series is still some distance away. All eyes are on the iPhone 16 series coming later this year. There are already a few rumors circulating about the upcoming lineup’s design. One notable rumor states that the series might get a new side button.

Strava is emerging as a top choice for runners worldwide. Though the app is rising in popularity, there are still some features that are notably missing. If you’re eagerly awaiting for a few to drop, the fitness app is rolling out highly requested features soon.

Naturally, the most requested feature is dark mode. Considered an essential these days, the mode is present in a lot of apps today. Finally, Strava is getting its own version. In an update coming later this summer, users can turn the lights off permanently or according to the device’s settings.

Though not the most highly requested feature, the app is also (inevitably) getting a healthy dose of AI. In Athlete Intelligence Beta, the service will use large language models to interpret and summarize a workout for users. Finished workouts won’t just be a series of arcane numbers anymore. The developing AI will translate these to language that any user can understand.

Additionally, Leaderboard Integrity will analyze recorded activities for any potential errors — intentional or otherwise. If the system detects that an activity feels improbable, it will alert users to change its classification or delete it altogether.

Finally, Strava is getting night heatmaps. Concerned users will soon have the ability to see the traffic in a particular trail between sunset and sunrise. If you’re concerned about the safety of a route, the app will notify you if a path is well-lit and well-travelled at night.

The app will launch these features soon for users worldwide.

Another year, another interesting concept goes back to the warehouse. Five years ago, LG showcased a rollable OLED TV concept. At the time, the concept joined the trend of displays that just merged into your living room. Though LG Display soon put the concept up for sale, the experiment is now coming to an end. LG has cancelled the Signature OLED R TV.

For ages, LG has been known for its quirky form factor experiments. Who can forget the swiveling or the rollable smartphone? As you might know now, LG has since pulled out of the smartphone business, taking its lookers away from the market. The experiments never stopped, though. LG soon applied its design philosophies to its display business.

The Signature OLED R TV presented something unique but familiar to audiences. Though the form factor was certainly different, it was part of the ongoing trend for devices that could easily disappear into a room. Think of Samsung’s The Frame series of displays. Compared to Samsung, LG opted for a more mechanical approach to hiding its display when not in use.

However, according to the Korean publication Chosun, sales for the unique TV haven’t really gone well. As a result, the company is discontinuing the line. The set, which costed around US$ 100,000, is now unavailable for purchase.

Regardless, the company isn’t done with unique devices. It is reportedly scheduled to launch a transparent display later this year.
