Xiaomi Mi 9: Price and availability in the Philippines
The midrange-priced flagship phone
Xiaomi‘s fastest handset is now in the Philippines. Just last month, the Chinese company announced the Mi 9 as their new flagship phone with all the latest features. Since it’s a Xiaomi phone, the device is offered at a lower price point than its premium rivals.
The Mi 9 doesn’t have a slide-out body like the Mi Mix 3’s, but it’s sporting the latest Snapdragon 855 processor. It’s got a 6.39-inch AMOLED display with a tiny notch that houses a 20-megapixel selfie camera and has an in-display fingerprint reader.
On the back, the Mi 9 has triple cameras: a 48-megapixel f/1.8 primary shooter, a 16-megapixel ultra wide-angle camera, and a 12-megapixel 2x zoom lens.

All are powered by a fast-charging (wired or wireless) 3300mAh battery, while Android Pie-based MIUI 10 comes out of the box.
The Mi 9 will be available in the country in three colors: Piano Black, Ocean Blue, and Lavender Violet. It’ll have a starting price of PhP 22,990 for the 6GB+64GB variant, while the higher-end model with 128GB storage will retail for PhP 24,990.
Initial sale starts on March 30 at Mi Authorized Stores and it’ll come to Lazada soon.

iPhone Air has the worst resale value for Apple in years, report says
One variant has reportedly lost 47.7 percent in value.
An iPhone is not an easy purchase to make. After you spend your hard-earned cash on one, you’re also likely thinking about how much you can resell the phone for. Still, even if it’s used, an iPhone can still fetch a decent price… unless, apparently, if you own an iPhone Air.
The iPhone Air is the latest non-typical addition to Apple’s iconic flagships. Compared to the mainline series, the Air is much thinner but still capable of delivering the Apple experience. Unfortunately, the model might end up being the brand’s biggest misfire.
According to SellCell (via GSM Arena), the iPhone Air has had the worst depreciation in value after ten weeks. Averaging all three variants, the model now averages a 44.3 percent loss of value in the resale market. Worst of all is the 1TB variant which has lost 47.7 percent of its resale value already.
In comparison, the entire iPhone 17 lineup averages a loss of only 34.6 percent. The iPhone 17 Pro Max 256GB variant, in fact, only lost 26.1 percent.
Based on the report’s findings, the iPhone Air’s sudden drop is the worst one since 2022. This is unlikely to be a nitpicked chart, too. Previous reports have speculated that Apple is not bringing back the Air next year because of poor sales.

Antigravity has officially launched the Antigravity A1, the world’s first all-in-one 8K 360 drone. It marks the arrival of a brand-new product category the company calls the 360 Drone. Instead of simply piloting a camera in the sky, the A1 is built to let anyone experience the sensation of flight — immersive, intuitive, and free-form.
A headset-first way to fly
Incubated by Insta360 and partners, the A1 uses a headset-first system. Its Vision Goggles aren’t just an accessory — they’re central to the experience. With dual 1-inch Micro-OLED displays and Pancake optics, the goggles let users freely look around the sky in real time, putting exploration and perspective first.
Piloting is simplified through the Grip controller and FreeMotion Mode, where pointing the controller becomes your flight path. No steep learning curve. For experienced pilots, FPV Mode remains available for precise directional control.
Features like Sky Path automate repeatable flight routes, letting creators focus purely on the view while sharing the experience by passing the goggles around to friends and family.
Capture everything in one flight
At the heart of the drone is a dual-lens 1/1.28-inch sensor capable of shooting 8K 30fps, 5.2K 60fps, or 4K 100fps in full 360°. The entire environment is captured in one take — no missed angles, no gimbal corrections.
Using Fly First, Frame Later, users can reframe in post, create Tiny Planet effects, or track subjects seamlessly. FlowState Stabilization keeps footage stable even in challenging wind.
Portable, compliant, and practical
Despite its cinematic ambitions, the A1 remains travel-ready at just 249g, making it compliant with EU C0-class and other sub-250g drone regulations. It can fly up to 24 minutes, or 39 minutes with the optional high-capacity battery.
A retractable landing gear protects the lower lens during takeoff while keeping the camera’s 360° view fully unobstructed for invisible-drone shots.
Intelligence designed for creativity and safety
The A1 is equipped with creative shortcuts through Sky Genie for one-tap orbit, spiral, and other cinematic moves. Deep Track handles subject framing automatically, and Virtual Cockpit overlays fantasy elements like a flying dragon — with more skins coming soon.
Safety and longevity are built in with user-replaceable lenses and propellers, Return-to-Home, and a smart payload detection system that prevents unsafe modifications. Antigravity Care offers replacement and flyaway protection for added peace of mind.
Award-winning from day one
Even before launch, the A1 has already earned major global recognition. This includes the TIME’s Best Inventions 2025, Red Dot Award: Design Concept 2025, Good Design Award 2025, CES Innovation Awards 2026. It also garnered over 20 media awards at IFA 2025.
Pricing and availability
The Antigravity A1 goes on sale December 4, 2025 in multiple bundles worldwide:
- Standard Bundle — USD 1,599 / PHP 84,990
- Explorer Bundle — USD 1,899 / PHP 97,990
- Infinity Bundle — USD 1,999 / PHP 104,990
All bundles include the A1 drone, Vision Goggles, and Grip controller with varying accessories depending on user needs.
Antigravity says the A1 isn’t just a better drone — it’s a new way to experience flight and storytelling from above.
