realme is gearing up to launch the realme C85 5G, the first in its C Series to feature both a 7000mAh battery and 5G connectivity. The brand says it’s “raising the bar” for everyday reliability and performance with this upcoming release.

Dubbed “Ultra Battery. Ultra Waterproof.”, the realme C85 5G promises all-day endurance, quick charging, and a sleek new look — making it one of the most powerful and durable C Series phones to date.

Endurance that powers your day

At the heart of the realme C85 5G is a massive 7000mAh battery. It’s the largest ever in the C Series and a feature usually reserved for higher-end models. It supports 45W SUPERVOOC fast charging, which can reach 50% in about 42 minutes.

A quick 5-minute charge also delivers hours of standby, calls, or streaming — perfect for users who are always on the go.

5G speed meets everyday style

The C85 5G is also the first C Series phone in the Philippines to offer 5G connectivity, enabling faster downloads and smoother streaming.

Despite its huge battery, the phone remains slim and stylish, featuring a feather-inspired designwith a 3D flowing gradient finish.

It will be available in Parrot Purple and Peacock Green, blending bold color with comfort in hand.

Launching soon in the Philippines

The realme C85 5G officially launches in the Philippines on November 20, 2025.

Fashion meets tech — again.

Apple’s latest creation isn’t a new iPhone, but something to wear it in. Announced today, the iPhone Pocket is a collaboration between Apple and Japanese fashion house ISSEY MIYAKE, reimagining the way we carry one of the world’s most recognizable devices.

While this is the first official partnership between the two brands, Miyake’s influence has long been stitched into Apple’s story.

The minimalist yet iconic uniform that is Steve Jobs’ black turtlenecks were custom-made by Miyake himself.

Back in the 1980s, Jobs even approached Miyake with an idea: to design a uniform for Apple employees. That plan never took off, but decades later, the spirit of collaboration finds new form — not in a shirt, but in a beautifully woven accessory.

The iPhone Pocket draws inspiration from Miyake’s Pleats Please and Homme Plissé lines, famed for its permanently pleated, wrinkle-free designs.

Made in Japan, and co-designed with the Apple Design Studio, each bag is crafted from a single piece of innovative 3D-knit fabric that’s both stretchy and feather-light. It’s designed to fit any iPhone and, as Apple notes, “other pocketable items.”

Available in two strap lengths, it can be worn as a shoulder bag (or slung on an arm) or crossbody. The color palette is distinctly Miyake: lemon (neon yellow), mandarin (bright orange), purple, pink, peacock (turquoise), sapphire (rich blue), cinnamon (brown), and black.

Longtime fans might also feel a nostalgic nod to the iPod Socks — a whimsical early-2000s Apple accessory that turned practicality into playful design.

The iPhone Pocket launches Friday, November 14, as a limited release, available online and in select Apple Stores.

In New York, it makes its debut in SoHo which is Apple’s outpost in the city’s fashion district.  Prices start at $149.95 for the short strap and $229.95 for the long strap.

On its own, the iPhone 17 Air is a mighty device. However, if you consider that the vastly superior iPhone 17 Pro series is only a hundred bucks away from the Air series, the thinner iPhone model becomes less attractive. Based on actual sales, it looks like Apple users think the same way. In response to low demand, Apple has reportedly shelved the next iPhone Air indefinitely.

Since the series launched a few months ago, numerous reports have speculated that the iPhone 17 Air isn’t performing as Apple expected. Given how Apple held out a lot of hope for the iPhone 17’s new designs, the Air’s failure to meet expectations is a big blow. Soon after the first reports trickled in, Apple reportedly dialed back on production to balance out the lower demand.

Now, as reported by The Information, Apple has reportedly delayed the next iPhone Air model indefinitely. Previously, the company was scheduled to release a new model next year alongside the iPhone 18 series. That’s not happening now.

Right now, there is no timeline for the next Air, if it is coming. That said, it’s still likely that Apple is still working on a new Air. It just might take some time while the company figures out how to make the next model pop.
