    Samsung’s foldables will definitely be lighter and thinner this year.

    Samsung mobile business president TM Roh mostly waxes poetic in his pre-Unpacked blog post about human-inspired product design, but also confirms one small detail about the upcoming folding phones: they’ll be thinner and lighter than last year’s models.

    Samsung’s Galaxy Z Fold 4 was already appreciably lighter than the Pixel Fold, so that likely gives the Z Fold 5 another advantage over Google’s first foldable. We’ll get all the details soon enough — Unpacked is next Wednesday which is fast approaching.

    Form, function, and a good midrange phone.

    iOS 17 is a lot of little updates that make a big impact

    There’s no single must-have feature in Apple’s latest iPhone OS update, but a lot of little improvements make it worth getting excited about.

    The Breville you know.

    Breville’s super-popular Barista Express is $550 for Prime Day, down from $750. I’ve used this machine every day, multiple times a day for the past three years. I’m drinking a latte I made with it as I type this, as a matter of fact. If you’re interested in home espresso but don’t want to invest a small fortune, it’s the way to go.

    The fanciest sub-$300 phone around.

    The Google Pixel 6A is just $249 today, down from its newly reduced price of $349. A 6.1-inch 1080p OLED, IP67 rating, and security updates for the next four years? Try and find that on any other phone under $300.
